It stayed dead for a while, without any activity on the codebase/IRC channel, and accumulating a few CVE's here and there. I was Debian's Midori maintainer, and I decided to retire the package because of these issues. But apparently upstream is slowly coming back to life, which is good news. However, we shouldn't blindly adopt Midori as the default browser without seriously looking at the health of the project (that goes for any other browser, FWIW). -- Sergio GPG key ID: 237A 54B1 0287 28BF 00EF 31F4 D0EB 7628 65FC 5E36 Please send encrypted e-mail if possible http://sergiodj.net/ _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
