RPM will come later.

Thanks Dave.

It is working as expected here. FYI, here are the changes:

    Decreased launch time for non-splash-screen: load splash screen's pixmap only if necessary.
    Include GitHub links in release notes. GitHub ticket #203.
    Initiate a floating-clock timer as needed. Preserve resources.
    Injected style sheets are now stored as UTF-8.
    JavaScript Console. GitHub ticket #202. Please see Tools.
    New --full-screen and --help.
    New splash image. Thanks louies0623. GitHub ticket #206.
    Source-only release?
    Speedier compilations via fewer includes.

Regards

That's interesting, hopefully the RPM will be the same. Trying to move away from using the BWW stuff for the desktop folder. Slowly getting there.

A quick question , does it run NoScript or something like it?  If it doesn't then I am not interested, sorry.

[Neil Waldhauer]

It now remembers history here. That's a nice enhancement.
I find it doesn't really render more websites than Firefox, but I think that's because over years of using Firefox 45, I stopped visiting sites that don't render. Still, it's pretty disappointing that so few websites work.

Hi Dave, I can confirm what Remy wrote. I tested all versions and so far this is the best one, loads faster than the previous versions, closes well as well.
Thank you for your continuing efforts!

I can confirm seems bit more stable, I can browse internet longer than the previous Dooble versions.

God work.

Hi Dave, will be glad to test it soon as rpm ready. By my side confirm that the november release solved some previous issues like trap on exit and self-termination as the website workload became heavy. Still remains the oddity of hiding word characters in some pages, usually the head titles (www.repubblica.it , www.libero.it).
Doing a very good job on this project

Hello Mauro

I installed Dooble in Windows and I didn't saw any of the problems that you have. My guess is that this font / display issues comes more as an issue of the Qt5 port than the Dooble port.

[Dave Yeo]

Hi Mauro, it is actually a bug in the webengine where only some SVG's are displayed. I did file a bug report about it at Bitwise's issue tracker. Have to wait on them.
Also note that all I'm doing is basically building the upstream code and adding the icon to the executable in this case, so it is interesting that there are so many changes from version to version.
The author is the one to thank, I notice that he also has a patreon page that he references if anyone wants to thank him with a donation. Upstream website, https://github.com/textbrowser/dooble

 Thanks Dave for the new version - works great here too. And thanks Martin for requesting the password repository at www.github.com/textbrowser... looks like it may be in our future! Dooble just keeps getting better.

 @Mauro - I don't see your issue here either. What fonts do you have loaded in your settings? I have:

Cursive: Comic Sans MS
Fantasy: Monotype Sans WT
Fixed: DejaVu Sans Mono
Pictograph: DejaVu Serif
Sans Serif: DejaVu Sans
Serif: DejaVu Serif
Standard: DejaVu Serif

 Maybe try these?

@Ivan - no plugins like NoScript, but you can turn off Javascript completely in settings, or on a tab-by-tab basis (right click tab, uncheck 'JavaScript'), or with this new version even inject your own! (Tools: Javascript console)

Regards,

[Dave Yeo]

Hi David, the problem is SVG being used to draw characters, so doesn't matter what fonts you have installed. The Simplebrowser has the same issue.
