@Alpyre
Which sources going to be released is clearly stated in the Bounty Project description.
And for the discussion...i don't think the Bros. do it for the money
Neat icon, btw, could you do one a little bigger? 32 pixels, maybe?

@Rogue
Hi Hans-Joerg
Here is some sample code which shows the speed difference between clipped and unclipped Cairo operations. It's a little contrived and does half a millionn operations to exaggerate the problem.
The source and a ready-created executable is in the archive.
Here is the output I get:
took 26 secs (with clipping & with rectangles)
took 19 secs (without clipping & with rectangles)
took 7 secs (with clipping & without rectangles)
took 0 secs (without clipping & without rectangles)
As you can see, it is taking seven seconds to set the clipping for these operations, no matter whether anything is being drawn or not. In real-life situations this is clearly visible (even with what I suppose is much less than 500 000 operations). As I said, I can compile NetSurf here with full Cairo support, and I have been able to prove it is the clipping which makes it unuseable in that configuration. I can provide binaries of this if you wish to test for yourself.
Regards
Chris

Will you try to let the plugins work or some or isn't this a high pri?)
If you mean by plugins the add-ons for Firefox, they should work unless they require OS-specific version (for example, PicLens will require a specific OS).
Plugins like a flash player will be a high priority to get working after the original browser runs.

@nexus
It should be possible to port Thunderbird and Sunbird and the Seamonky suite after Firefox, the base facilities are there. It will be work, but not as much as the initial port.
@Alpyre
Nice icon :) Thanks!
I'm afraid that a release of the source code is very unlikely at this stage, even more so considering the reactions on AW.net.
@Chris
I ran the test on my machine and get 6, 4, 3 and 0 seconds... so I would say yes, there is an improvement :)
