It's a shame. The application showed promise, and as much as it was primitive, it did work. What a loss, you know?
I've been tempted to fork it, but I don't need more shit on my plate for right now. I'll be there though should that come up.

I tried porting Dillo to IRIX using MIPSPro, but Dillo makes such extensive use of variadic functions that I eventually realized the port was going to be more or less a complete rewrite, and I gave up. I'm still subscribed to the mailing list though, which is still somewhat active. People are making enhancements but none of them have (so far) been added to the official tree...

I may if solidcore is up for it after the webdev and other assignments he's on, task him with getting it working under MIPSPRO. Since it's a stable codebase, if I can get enough income I'd not mind having a few people hack on it and add features here and there that weren't ever gonna make it into Dillo itself, like rendering iframes. I have some other ideas, but that's all in a backseat. I'll look at it more once I'm back for real.
RE: Death of Dillo? - vishnu - 05-26-2020
I was thinking the best way to do it would be to compile the variadic handling code from the C++ standard into a static library and link it to dillo. With the intent obviously being to continue using MIPSpro, which has no variadic code capability.
