Re: Is Dillo development still active?

I am happy to have my GitHub repository be utilized for development moving forward.  I believe I migrated everything from Dillo's Mercurial repository successfully.  My modifications are on a branch, so it is easy to figure out where Mercurial stops and new code starts.

For a little background on what I have been working on, please see https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=4499.  There is also a video link showcasing some changes.

I'm hoping that Jorge will see this maillist thread and give us his input.  I emailed him Nov 19th, but haven't gotten a response yet.

GitHub was used because I'm working on consolidating some other repositories.  Yes, if need be, it would be easy to migrate to GitLab, etc.
