Joining LiTL

April 14, 2008 General 5 Comments

Let’s play by the rules:

Who? Havoc and some other guys. And myself. And some other people without a blog (hello jobi).

What? I’m joining LiTL.

Where? Ye Olde London Town.

When? Next week, actually.

Why? To do The Right Thing. Or maybe it was the other way around? For the details you’ll have to wait, but I hope it’ll be worth it; or better yet, you could join the company :)

P.S: ¡Feliz Día!

Epiphany ♥ WebKit

April 6, 2008 General 10 Comments

When I said a few weeks ago that an important announcement would be made about the future of Epiphany some people told me it was really obvious what was coming. Seeing the reaction of some to the now public announcement, it seems there’s still some room for disbelief. Maybe the date didn’t help too much, but hey, the whole point of April the 1st is to make you doubt. If all the news are obviously false it’s not really that much fun.

So, yes:

  • Starting from now Epiphany trunk is WebKit only, and we’ll slowly get rid of the abstraction layer.
  • We aim to release an usable browser for 2.24, but if we can’t make it the 2.22 branch will be released instead. The 2.22 branch will be maintained as long as it’s needed.
  • We have started (thanks Diego!) a TODO list for the WebKit backend. I’ll try to work more on this in the coming days.
  • Help, as usual, is welcome!

I should have blogged about this before, but I spent the whole week abroad working on some world domination stuff. Should blog about that soon too… (guys, nudge nudge, wake up).
