After three and a half years of development, the minimalist multi-platform web browser NetSurf 3.11 has been released, capable of running on systems with just a few dozen megabytes of RAM. The release is prepared for Linux, Windows, Haiku, AmigaOS, RISC OS, and various Unix-like systems. The browser's code is written in C and is distributed under the GPLv2 license.
The browser supports tabs, bookmarks, page thumbnail displays, URL autocompletion in the address bar, page zooming, HTTPS, SVG, a cookie management interface, page save mode with images, HTML 4.01, CSS 2.1 standards, and partial HTML5 support. Limited JavaScript support is provided, which is disabled by default. Pages are rendered using a custom browser engine based on the Hubbub, LibCSS, and LibDOM libraries. The Duktape engine is used for JavaScript processing.
The new version improves CSS support and ensures correct rendering of pages using the CSS flex property. Table layouts, list handling, and support for dark themes have been enhanced. Performance optimizations have been made. Support for the RISC OS platform has improved. JPEG XL image format support has been added. An RSVG image decoder has been introduced. TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 are disabled by default, with TLS 1.3 configured for use. OpenSSL 3 support has been included. Automatic replacement of http with https is supported. The interface based on the GTK library has been enhanced.
