The bitmap and image handling interfaces have changed within NetSurf
and the webp image handling has not been fixed up appropriately to
cope.
After discussion with the other developers it has been decided that
the webp support is not worth the necessary development effort to
rewrite and maintain.
The webp format is not in wide usage and Mozilla, Microsoft and Apple
have not adopted it. This means the removal will not adversely impact
NetSurf.
Resolves:2310
The content thumbnailers for each frontend were being provided the
contents url. This was only ever used to call the urldb thumbnail
setting API.
This changes it so the single callsite that passed a valid url adds
the bitmap to that url itself in desktop_history.c instead of forcing
every frontend to require the urldb API.
Additionally the old API could pass the url as NULL which was causing
asserts where this was not an expected parameter value. Because of
this this fixes bug #2286 which was also present in the monkey
frontend as both called nsurl_access() on the url without the NULL
check and caused an assertion.
This cleans up this header and moves the functionality into more
useful places while reducing the include complexity but only pulling
in whats required.
The die() API for abnormal termination does not belong within the core
of netsurf and instead errors are propogated back to the callers.
This is the final part of this change and the API is now only used within
some parts of the frontends
The netsurf.h header should *only* contain the registration, core
initialisation and finalisation methods. Version information is best
placed in its own header.
Also remove any unneeded inclusion of this header limiting it to
solely the places the relevant API is required.
The netsurf core is driven from numerous operation tables most of
which are now set through a common netsurf_register() interface. The
font and plotting interfaces are currently separate and unlike all the
other operation tables are modified for differing contexts.
This change moves the font operations alongside all the other
operations table and remove unnecessary interaction with the renderers
font internals. Further this also removes the need for css internals
to be visible in frontends.
The core no longer needs to run the event polling loop as fetches are now
scheduler driven. This is part of a series which will ultimately remove
netsurf_poll callback altogether.
This rationalises the path construction and basename file
operations. The default implementation is POSIX which works for all
frontends except windows, riscos and amiga which have differeing path
separators and rules.
These implementations are significantly more robust than the previous
nine implementations and also do not use unsafe strncpy or buffers
with arbitrary length limits.
These implementations also carry full documentation comments.
