NetSurf 3.7

Many of us use the “cutting edge” version all the while, so will have used the equivalent of this release version in all likelihood at some time.

However, as development and improvement is continuous, we could only possibly comment that if it’s been released it’ll be fine!

Looks like there’s a new version of NetSurf available.

I hadn’t looked at newer versions of NetSurf for quite some while and I noted on digging into the archive that the Network URI module in the ROOL supplied HardDisc archive is v0.26 dated 14 Apr 2016, the NetSurf supplied URI module is v1.04 dated 20 May 2006. Looks like some differences in services.

The questions arising are:

1. Which should people use
2. Any chance that the version difference could be eliminated?
3. Would this be academic after the planned new network stack is available?

Well you can add URI 1.05 (3rd Jan 2007) Christian Ludlam to that mix.

I think this was for !Parmesan the MSN Messenger client

As you say would be good to know what is the right version.

v1.05 being a revision by Christian of the v1.04 he did as an open re-implementation of the original Acorn URI. Presumably tidying up a few bugs in 1.04.
I’m not sure where people would obtain v1.05 though.
