What is the future of MicroB?
Can this project be revitalized?
I like it so much... |
Re: What is the future of MicroB?
There is no future, as it's based on GTK.
There is a similar approach called embedlite IPCLiteAPI, which is based on Qt and QML. There is even a version for N900 called Alopex. |
Re: What is the future of MicroB?
being based on gtk isn't really a valid reason. the fact the existing ui is closed source is the issue. some of the microb-engine patches apply cleanly to newer version, some need a little adapting. there was a replacement for some of the other components.
alopex looks more promising as it is based on a newer version of firefox engine and makes use of ipclite. i just wish there was more information fed back on overall progress and releases for people to test. git changelogs are ok but a simple message of overall progress would be better. |

I've never heard of Alopex.

I don't know the future of MicroB (and I wish for the best), but I know its present state.
"MicroB has stopped responding. Close the application?" or something like that |
Re: What is the future of MicroB?
MicroB's two major advantages (compared to Fennec):
1. Proper recognition of MIME-types: such as, a .deb can be opened with App Manager, instead of saving-and-installing; 2. Spiral-zoom-gesture. Oh, and Fennec saves all downloads into one default difficult-to-remember destination, but it may be configurable - just haven't tried to change it in about:config, yet. And Fennec is slow. Best wishes. |

The future is Alopex but you will need to go CSSU-Thumb
