Christmas this year meant productivity time for me.
- Digged into WebKit. WebKit is indeed a really nice toolkit to render HTML. I’ve used webkit-gtk, the GTK bindings for webkit. The result is a patch for Liferea, which allows to render Newsfeeds using WebKit. This patch is still not finished but most features are working. I’m still undecided weither I should allow inline browsing for WebKit. It is provided by the GtkHtml plugin of Liferea, but I would basically create yet another browser embeded into Liferea. It would be just a few buttons and a few signals to connect but I still prefer to open newsfeed links in a standalone browser.
Also I’ve played around with Epiphany’s WebKit backend.
- Finished the proposal for Zend_Service_SecondLife, which is based on internal code I’ve created for Neu.de. But not just the proposal, even a fully working prototype done with good code coverage which is ready for you to play with. Thanks to Darby Felton for being my nurse at Zend.
- Installed Firefox 3.0 beta2, got a lot of extensions to work and now use it now as my everyday browser.
- Did a lot of work for the Next Best Thing. More to come.
Update: The patch for Liferea is now included in the subversion tree. I’m still working on WebKit for Liferea to complete the missing features.
