On May 24th, the new version of NetSurf was released—a fast and lightweight web browser designed for low-powered devices. In addition to running on GNU/Linux and other *nix systems, it also supports RISC OS, Haiku, Atari, AmigaOS, Windows, and has an unofficial port for KolibriOS. The browser utilizes its own engine and supports HTML4 and CSS2 (HTML5 and CSS3 are in early development), along with JavaScript (ES2015+; the DOM API is partially implemented).
Key Changes:
The GTK interface has been revamped.
Improved handling of timeouts, authentication, and certificates.
The Duktape JS engine has been updated to version 2.4.0, and many new JS bindings have been added.
Basic support for the HTML5 canvas element has been added (currently only supporting ImageData operations).
Unicode handling has been enhanced, specifically fixing the display of multibyte (including Russian) characters in Windows.
Numerous other minor changes.
