The only change since Netsurf 2.5 (2010-04-23) is one small file called Aliases -- which is dated 2011-09-21. The skeleton !System contains the five modules Iconv, SharedULib, Tinct and URI. Modules all have internal dates. Four of these are 2006; the only newer one is Iconv -- which is dated 2011-01-04. I emailed Rob and Michael a copy of the skeleton !Boot and !System with meaningful datestamps, plus a little explanatory textfile, all contained in a zip file where datestamps should be safe from the zealous Linux autobuilder, we hope. -- Jim Nagelwww.archivemag.co.uk See you at London? www.riscoslondonshow.co.uk October 27

El Reg timeouts
No problem accessing El Reg Software http://www.theregister.co.uk/software/ and accessing http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/10/11/ballmer_faces_uphill_battle_on_windows_8 _/ but several attempts to navigate to 'Comments' produced a timeout each time. Selecting Menu-Navigate-Up one level also timed out. Quitting and reloading Netsurf produced the same result. Immediately quitting 3.0 and launching 2.9 worked fine. Could be a blip but I've had problems with this 3.0 build before on El Reg site. My system details: My details: NS-2012-10-07_21-57-22, RPCEmu089/RO4.02 (256MB RAM), Win7 (64-bit). NetSurf 3.0 #417..
