Admin
-----

-   <strong>Improve automatic production of releases</strong>
-   Have any install targets broken? Missing resources? Trying to copy
    things that have gone?
-   For releases, turn Logging off in RISC OS front end. In
    !NetSurf.!Run: Set NetSurf\$Logging 0
-   Update and correct
    [Changelog](http://www.netsurf-browser.org/temp/ChangeLog)
-   Testing
-   [[Release_Process|release_process]]
-   Debian/Ubuntu packages

### Timeline

-   Branch in July 2013

### Target frontends for release

-   RISC OS
-   GTK
-   Amiga OS 4.0
-   Cocoa
-   Atari
-   Windows

### Misc

-   ?

Code
----

### Potential crashers

-   ?

### Memory usage

-   ?

### Feature

-   One bitmap image content type, instead of one for each of JPEG, GIF,
    etc. Make image format handlers into simple data converters for the
    image content type.
-   Implement cloning of HTML contents (required for printing)
-   Keep source data in chunks; currently about a third of the heap is
    wastage. Not possible until image handlers can stream.
-   Support for APNGs?
-   Use an XML parser for XHTML?
-   Rewrite URL database
-   Advert blocking needs overhaul
    -   current source of adblock css is long gone (nov 2004)
    -   the original idea source for css based blocking is
        <http://www.floppymoose.com/userContent.css> but thats
        inadequate for our purposes
    -   another source used in our current css was last updated 2008
        <http://www.gozer.org/mozilla/ad_blocking/css/ad_blocking.css>
    -   an adblock plus source which might be worth adding instead of
        doing it by css
        <https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easylist.txt> where
        <http://adblockplus.org/en/filters> is the file format. We might
        be able to convert from the adblock format to css?

### Other

-   Core: Fix forms to use libdom properly.
-   Core: Fix entities getting separate BOX\_TEXT in box construction.
-   Core: Use new treeview.
