  Here it looks like the page is about 200 yards wide.
 
  Netsurf 2.9 (27th Feb 2012)

 http://www.amigans.net/ has gone wide recently too, but I suspect
 that's a different problem, as it is fine in NetSurf 2.9 and not so
 fine in NetSurf 3.0 (revision 9cb4d0, a couple of days old)

If we're on the subject of ridiculously wide pages, there's a
long-running problem with this one:

http://somethingpositive.net/

That hasn't formatted properly in any NetSurf I remember, and not with
#417 either.

A 'td width=6060' in the blog section.

Could NetSurf be told to ignore ridiculous sizes like other browsers
seem to do (this page showed up normally in Firefox 15.0.1 on Linux)?

Just a quick note:

Development builds are available again from the NetSurf web site.

There is a Continuous Integration link on the navigation bar on all pages.
The development build downloads can also be reached from the Test builds
link on platform download pages.  e.g. for RISC OS:

Re: Development builds available / Boot and System changes

I wonder if it would be possible, please, to include a simple textfile 
inside the zip that we download, stating the date when the contents of 
!Boot and !System actually had the most recent change.

As far as I can make out, changes in !Boot and !System (ie, to Unicode 
and to the modules Iconv, SharedULib, Tinct and URI) happen only 
infrequently, but the rebuild process puts a meaningless new datestamp 
on the files.  For example, in the most recent download (#418), the 
module !System.310.Modules.Network.URI is datestamped 2012-10-02 
whereas that module's internal date is 2006-05-20.  Other internal 
dates: Iconv 2011-01-04, SharedULib 2006-04-10, Tinct 2009-04-25.
The Unicode items carry no believable date information at all.

I suggest this simple textfile stating a latest change date because 
it's tedious to go through the process of merging !Boot and !System on 
three separate machines every time a new test build of Netsurf is 
installed, when in fact nothing has changed.

Good idea, Jim. Even simpler, maybe, just a note to say that one of the
items in the list changed recently or maybe just an asterisk or
something by one that (for those of us who have never bothered to look
at those date stamps!!)

Personally, I gave up constantly merging !Boot  !System. I just rely on
Netsurf complaining if something ain't right.
