AmigaOS 4: Status update for the WebKit port
George 'walkero' Sokiano's describes the current status of the Webkit port in a forum post:
Since his last status report, he had not spoken up again, but a lot had happened behind the scenes. The work on the Webkit engine requires changes in adtools, gcc and the runtime library clib2 maintained by Andrea 'afxgroup' Palmate - among other things, a pthreads implementation for clib2 is currently being worked on. Not only the Webkit port but also all future AmigaOS applications or ports would benefit from these changes and extensions.
A few weeks ago, they had finished porting most of the libraries required by Webkit to AmigaOS. Sokianos is currently working on a Webkit-based "mini-browser", which will initially load only a single page. The developer states the status of the work on this mini-browser "at 42%".
In the meantime, two new, very experienced developers, 'FlynnTheAvatar' and 'sTix', have joined the small team that takes care of the work around Webkit. (cg)
