The "WebContent" service provides a very restricted instance of LibWeb
running as an unprivileged user account. This will be used to implement
process separation in Browser, among other things.
This first cut of the service only spawns a single WebContent process
when someone connects to /tmp/portal/webcontent. We will soon switch
this over to spawning a new process for each connection.
Since this feature is very immature, we'll be bringing it up inside of
Demos/WebView as a separate demo program. Eventually this will become
a reusable widget that anyone can embed and easily get out-of-process
web content in their GUI.
This is pretty, pretty cool! :^)
We were getting a little overly memey in some places, so let's scale
things back to business-casual.
Informal language is fine in comments, commits and debug logs,
but let's keep the runtime nice and presentable. :^)
I booted the system on a much better screen than the one I normally use
and the variance in contrast between different icons bothered me.
Here's an attempt to fix that, while also redoing some icons that I've
wanted to redo for a while. :^)
Absolutely positioned blocks now register themselves with their
containing block (and note that the containing block of an absolutely
positioned box is the nearest non-statically positioned block ancestor
or the ICB as fallback.)
Containing blocks then drive the layout of their tracked absolutely
positioned descendants as a separate layout pass.
This is very far from perfect but the general direction seems good.
This patch introduces a bunch of things:
- Subframes (Web::Frame::create_subframe())
- HTMLIFrameElement (loads and owns the hosted Web::Frame)
- LayoutFrame (layout and rendering of the hosted frame)
There's still a huge number of things missing, like scrolling, overflow
handling, event handling, scripting, etc. But we can make a little
iframe in a document and it actually renders another document there.
I think that's pretty cool! :^)
This patch adds ImageResource as a subclass of Resource. This new class
also keeps a Gfx::ImageDecoder so that we can share decoded bitmaps
between all clients of an image resource inside LibWeb.
With this, we now share both encoded and decoded data for images. :^)
I had to change how the purgeable-volatile flag is updated to keep the
volatile-images-outside-the-visible-viewport optimization working.
HTMLImageElement now inherits from ImageResourceClient (a subclass of
ResourceClient with additional image-specific stuff) and informs its
ImageResource about whether it's inside the viewport or outside.
This is pretty awesome! :^)
This patch adds a context menu to variables in the debugger variable
tree view that has an option to set the value of a variable. An input
box will pop up asking for the new value of the variable, which
is then parsed and used to set the actual variable.
Now that we have SystemServer that can (re)spawn the Shell, we don't need a
separate server just for that.
The two shells (on tty0 and tty1) are configured to only be started when booting
in text mode. This means you can now simply say boot_mode=text on the kernel
command line, and SystemServer will set up the system and spawn a comfy root
shell for you :^)
