Hi, I have a question: "Can K-Meleon use the newest Gecko of Firefox 7.0 ?"

I read [url=https://wiki.mozilla.org/Embedding/NewApi]this[/url] and [url=https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Embedding_Mozilla]this[/url], but still don't know what it mean ? I'm not a developer, so I really don't know about that : (

I think newer Gecko version will be better, faster, I will glad if K-Meleon can integrate it.[/quote]

I do only know from hearsay I am no developer.

1.)  Dorian build K-Meleon successfully with Gecko 1.9.2.x (Firefox 3.6.x). But AFAIK that is the newest Gecko engine that has been used for a K-Meleon build. Currently nobody seems to know whether it is possible to go to newer GRE than that. & More big code changes will be needed to port K-Meleon to Gecko 4 - 7. The changes will probably need much developing time.

2.) Your links contain old information how to adapt and develop applications like K-Meleon that use Mozilla.orgs's Gecko engine. The information is partly outdated. Mozilla.org does not support embedding any more.

3.) Newer GRE are better and faster but nobody currently seems to know whether it is possible to use them.[/quote]
