Andrea Anzani has continued his work with porting WebKit to Haiku, and has since last time ICO wrote about his ongoing work, been troubleshooting image rendering. He ended up writing a special image-decoder that makes use of Haiku's translator add-ons for PNG and JPG. For GIF he had to choose another way, as GIFs can be animated and Haiku's GIF translator has no support for animation.

In the last couple of days Andrea has been focusing on text encoding. The Haiku Webkit port can now show all kinds of characters, also non-ASCII.

As you can see from the screenshot, major progress has been made by Andrea Anzani.

Written by expensivelesbian on 2008-02-05 06:05:37 "Haiku's GIF translator has no support for animation"    is there a reason for this, or is it not yet supported?    Great work, by the way

Written by ithamar on 2008-02-11 10:12:58 GIF translator doesn't support animation, because the image translator's output is defined to be a single bitmap     This is the same reason why there's some extra trickery in the TIFF translator to handle multi-page TIFFs iirc....
