I will suggest that we should support what our readers are likely to be using. As a starting point, I will suggest there are four possibilities - 1. People using Internet Explorer, Safari, or whatever the win10 browser is called - I submit that they are "beyond the pale". and we cannot cater for them. 2. People using an older version of LFS/BLFS who have decided that they need to upgrade (perhaps after several years without updating their systems). NOt sure if anybody can test older versions of the browsers (i.e. what used to be in BLFS), most of us will have already updated. This looks like a possible pinch point - I suggest that people might need to upgrade to e.g. current firefox or seamonkey (no doubt that will be a pain for anyone using an old version of kde who does not have recent gtk+-2, but I guess it will be easier than upgrading kde on the old system just to be able to read hte book. 3. People using recent versions of BLFS, or those who have updated their browser(s). This is what we are testing. > According to http://css3test.com/, seamonkey only passes 50% of css3. > > For konqueror 4.8.3, the page gives me: > > The requested operation could not be completed > Unexpected Program Termination > > Firefox 39.0 (yes I know I should update) gives me 55%. > > -- Bruce > And that is why you do not let designers specify how things must be done, because they will take the newest and shiniest versions of everything and set it in stone as a hard minimum requirement ;-) ĸen -- This one goes up to eleven: but only on a clear day, with the wind in the right direction. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
