Hi all,
I hadn't updated Netsurf on my Atari 68060@60MHz) since before January.
I have always found the Atari build to be extremely slow, 5-10 minutes
or more to render a page being normal and I think it's the ssl that
hurts it most. So it's not greatly usable but I do use it download
FreeMint OS updates.
60MHz is not very much to work with, tbh, so I am not entirely surprised
that things are slow, particularly given the ever-increasing complexity
of the modern web.
However, the last few versions I had tried would timeout before
rendering anything.
That was why I was still using build 5366 from 2022.
Yesterday I installed 6637 and it still gives Timeouts. The only page
that would work was http. I increased the curl timeout to 300 with no
change.
All of the support libraries have been upgraded in the last year,
including migrating to OpenSSL 3. These are significant changes so may
have introduced some brokenness at some point.
Sadly, the Atari frontend has no maintainer (any changes are mostly to
make it build after changes to other parts of the code) so, although CI
continues to spit out binary builds, these are never tested (and none of
the core developers has any specific Atari knowledge or any appropriate
hardware/emulator so cannot test them, either).
As ever, if someone is able to work out a fix, we'll happily take a
patch containing it!
John-Mark.
