leopard webkit 604.5.6 latest doesn't want to open new tabs after opening??? how do I fix this.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
No update in the works. I had the 605 merge halfway done but never finished it.
I fear this is the end of Leopard WebKit - the biggest problem being in fact the lack of modern TLS cipher suites, making more and more sites inaccessible.
While updating the WebKit core would be feasible (for me), updating the TLS cipher suites would be a project of its own.

Have you considered working with Cameron Kaiser? I think he has already updated some of the TLS libraries for use in TenFourFox and I believe he has even added Altivec preformance enhacements. Or maybe I'm remembering wrong, because I can't seem to find his blog post about it. Either way, it shouldn't hurt to check in with him.

Well, I have been collaborating with Cameron Kaiser in his TenFourFox project - especially with the Altivac enhancements.
Unfortunatelay it's quite difficult to use a different TLS library in WebKit on OS X because WebKit itself doesn't use TLS directly but indirectly via OS framework interfaces. Generally WebKit uses OS interfaces whereever possible while Firefox uses its own code whereever possible. That way WebKit is deeply integrated into the OS, making it particularly difficult to replace something like the TLS library only - the whole network access layer would have to be changed or reimplemented, including the certificat management and features that depend on those things.

Sad to see this will be an end, thx for ur work anyway.
Do u have an idea how this will be affecting Mail from Leopard?
Because Ten4Fox has no email and the last seamonkey-port here
on SF is quite outdated too.
Thx a lot, and have a happy new year, stay healthy.

I don't know the current state because I haven't been using leopard-webkit for some time. But I used to relink the Leopard Mail application using the relink droplet and that way could still connect reasonably well to a variety of e-mail services. Gmail needed to have improved connection security switched off for Leopard Mail to be able to connect.

Hi @internetzel do you have an IRC channel on freenode?
Also, I would like you to join these two discord servers. (I do not know if you know discord. It is a service to join other people in interesting (depends) project communities. An account is needed but only an email and a passowrd is required.) https://discord.gg/buZ8mQUgGg https://discord.gg/9dy2rBx
The first one is about powerpc in general, while the second one is about "Macintosh development" so Mac OS X (powerpc and intel) dev. included.
We do not talk often about programming – although I would really like to, specially in the second one (which is legitimately very silent, since very few people programs for vintage machines) – but I think it is a valuable place where to stay anyway.
Cheers

Developer still updating for PPC? Thanks for your work... ;)
