It may be expedient to test with Browse-157.2 which does not use
webkit2 for now. It is doubly hard to debug one change by using
another <br>
software component under test.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
I pulled the 'webkit2' branch from the browse-repo and after
running the activity I am getting the errors ( can't load a page in
browse) as shown in the attachment below.
Thanks,

This was with 2.12.0, and it is probably a WebKit problem rather than
a Browse problem, but it does expose some Browse problems in handling
a WebKit crash ...
- the cursor keeps spinning,
- the home button doesn't work any more,
- the stop loading button doesn't work either,
- no evidence of the crash in the Browse logs.
The activity stop button worked fine.

<pre wrap="">Hi All,
I'm happy to release an unstable version of the WebKit2 browse. Most
things
have been ported and many bugs fixed from the original port. Please help
by
testing this!
Special thanks to Gonzalo Odiard for his huge contribution to the port.
Thanks,
Sam

Installing
=====
Note, this requires **WebKitGtk+ 2.11.3** or newer. Practically, this
means
use Fedora 24+.
You can install the activity from the git repository branch "webkit2":
[1]
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/sugarlabs/browse-activity/tree/webkit2">https://github.com/sugarlabs/browse-activity/tree/webkit2</a>
You can use the XO bundle if you prefer:
[2]<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://people.sugarlabs.org/sam/">https://people.sugarlabs.org/sam/</a>
Browse-158.xo
(sha256sum
2cd0f96501eea9a5905d0f3bdc1fde88c85069e62d5eb7706f14f85a41b182b2)
Then open Sugar and run the Browse activity. Please verify that it has
successfully installed version 158.
Please report bugs somewhere. You can email me <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:sam@sam.today"><sam@sam.today></a>, reply to
this
thread, or open them somewhere on bugs.sugarlabs.org.
==================
What is good about WebKit2?
==================
* Read the WebKit Security Advisories and feel happy that you are using
WebKit2
[1]
- Read "On WebKit Security Updates" and feel sad again (unless you
run
Fedora) [2]
* WebGL Support (Hype!)
* New javascript engine "FTL" (Faster Than Light) powered by the very new
B3
backend. You can run Sugarizer even faster inside of Sugar!!
* Web Process Separation keeps you safer from evil internet people.
Eventually, the web process will even be sandboxed from your system
* Pinch-to-zoom support - real time text rendering while zooming (watch
the
lag!!)
* GeoLocation support - web sites can request geo location permission
* Notification support - web sites can request permission to send you
notification
=================
Summary of Browse changes
=================
* Improve the autocomplete list (thanks to Utkarsh Tiwari)
* PDF Tab Edge case fixes (thanks to James Cameron)
*
* New history format. This is due to a change in WebKit2 api.
- You can open files made with old versions of browse. However, it will
only
load the current tab page, not the full back/forward history list.
* Print to PDF support removed. This is due to a change in WebKit2 api.
* Button to activate the Web inspector.
* The long-press for palette code got even more dodgy. It now fakes a
right
click - this is the only way to work with the webkit2 api changes.
