Google PDF Renderer Open Sourced now: https://code.google.com/p/pdfium/

 

Rather than from Adobe it was actually from Foxit.

Also Chrome is removing GTK theme code in favour of Aura on Linux. If you face it broken, you can guess it is gone now.

M38 development started.

Chromium 32-bit development shifted to now Git, now unlike previously there is no proper changelog in text format in snapshot folders and snapshots also appear randomly. I shifted my default Chromium 64-bit which does not yet suffered similar fate.

Maybe I just missed it but why did they disable smooth scrolling?

Are you talking about the smooth scrolling flag in about:flags? If so, that's been disabled for a while now, and they disabled it because it doesn't work with threaded compositing.

That's what I was referring to yes. So I guess I did miss something.

I'm wondering if Google gave the devs a vacation, hence the lack of new Chromium builds for the last week.

 

Yeah, 64-bit builds are no longer happening, I asked them on chromium-discuss google group but no response so far.

For 32-bit builds, they shifted to Git which does not provide simple xml format changelogs.

 

To get latest 32-bit build:

- Move to end (use END button from Keyboard)

- Read LAST_CHANGE file in new tab and copy paste string

- Go back to 32-bit snapshots tab and press F3 or Ctrl+F and find string matching folder

 

It will be latest... I found latest through this... I uninstalled 64-bit (I went to them after they switched to Git but they are no longer maintaining them on that branch IMO).

Can anyone get Chrome x64 to work with Hyper-V enabled?  I haven't tested without Hyper-V yet but everytime I start Chrome x64 it crashes straight away and I suspect Hyper-V is the reason.

Does this reveal any hyper-v relevant .dll? or any crash id?

Looks like smooth scrolling is finally coming back, they've got a new impl-side implementation:

 

The following revision refers to this bug:

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/749cbc62498edd705dba6138f924a82c75274c88

commit 749cbc62498edd705dba6138f924a82c75274c88
Author: [email protected] <[email protected]@0039d316-1c4b-4281-b951-d872f2087c98>

Impl thread smooth scrolling.

This is a first pass at smooth scrolling on the compositor thread. It adds LayerTreeHostImpl::ScrollAnimated, which kicks off a scroll offset animation through the layer animation controller.

When the --enable-smooth-scrolling flag is present, InputHandlerProxy will call ScrollAnimated for composited wheel scrolls.

Once this is in the next steps are:

(1) Update the animation curve to aim at a new target when a wheel event comes in while a scroll animation is in progress. (For now we just drop the event.)

(2) Unify the behavior with WebCore::ScrollAnimatorNone. We should be able to share a lot of logic since cc::ScrollOffsetAnimationCurve is already exposed to Blink through compositor bindings (for http://crbug.com/243871).

BUG=575

I really hate new Chromium Git shift and no update to 64-bit continuous builds... Since I can't read changelogs now...

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • CANT FIND SECURE BOOT ON BIOS

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
