I announced this is in another topic, but figures it deserves its own.

K-Meleon 1.1.3 Gecko 1.8.1.12pre Update

This gets applied over KM 1.1.3. I fixed a problem with page loading (cant update chrome.*).

Also, something to help with compatibility, set this as your user-agent:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12pre) Gecko/20071211 K-Meleon/1.1.3 Firefox/2.0.0.11

Posting in this thread now (previously from the 1.1.2 GRE update thread).

Tried the update from pocket k-meleon 1.1.2 to 1.1.3 and all seems well.

Only question, the accesiblemarshall.dll is now 28kb (was 8kb).
What does this dll do? Would using the old one cause problems?

Also, is it necessary to also replace the \res folder in bruns' update.
Thanks,
soccerfan

I can enter it under edit|preferences|privacy but it does not seem to stick.
Is there another way to set this as the default useragent (by editing a file)?

I'm not sure about accesiblemarshal.dll... I replaced all matching DLLs unless there was a specific reason why not to. Next update, I'll remove res\ since its not strictly needed.

In about:config, show: general.useragent.override, you can add the string.

Perfect! Thank you.
My updated pocket k-meleon is working well so far.

Thanks for making these updates. Between you doing the new ones and Fred doing the old ones, I have more fine versions of K-Meleon than I can possibly use!!! It's tough, but I try to limit myself to 3 or 4: Official Release + updates; NX latest; and 1.5. Keep 'em coming. Thanks again.

enter it under tools/useragent/custom....a box will come up for you to enter it. Mine has no problem staying,

Can anyone please upload it other than rapidshare? thank you very much.

I uploaded it to my web:

playdayz,

FWIW, try out Early Blue. It was the original theme for Mozilla's pre-release. Very nice stuf. They changed to go with the boring and tried and true, but that was their loss and KM's gain imo!


Merry Christmas

Thanks desga2 :-D

Hola, Desga2, esta actualización, ¿es válida para el K-Meleon en español?

L.

Por supuesto. Aunque quizá prefieras esperar a que salga una versión definitiva del 1.8.1.12.

;-)

Eso estoy haciendo yo Es que esto de las pre... ;)

Thanks, Brielle.

@ Carson

I don't think your update was sucessful. My help:about reads
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12pre) Gecko/20071211 K-Meleon/1.1.3 after I installed the update.

The proper User-Agent you should see is:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12pre) Gecko/20071211 K-Meleon/1.1.3

If you didn't get that, make sure to kill all instances of K-Meleon.exe first, including the loader. It will not update properly otherwise.

The default Gecko string is set automatically according to the readings in necko.dll.

For altering anything else Yourself permanently:

Look into ./k-Meleon/defaults/pref/kmeleon.js

Section: Top couple of lines.

pref("general.useragent.vendor", "K-Meleon"); // can be K-Ninja or anything
pref("general.useragent.vendorSub", "1.1.3"); // best no higher Number than official

Look into ./k-Meleon/defaults/pref/I10n.js

Section: // Privacy

That is where You set the strings that can be spoofed by default.

You can further add a comment behind the whole browser string by adding this pref to an existing or additional js file:


pref("general.useragent.vendorComment", "GRE Updated");


Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.8.1.10) Gecko/20071116 K-Meleon/1.1.3 (GRE Updated)


I my case to the latest official


The string "GRE Updated" can be anything ...

Thank you guenter for this information, and for the two .js files that I can edit,
and also for the string to add optional comments.

Hi,
Just to say that this update worked perfectly with my 1.5a1 installation.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12pre) Gecko/20071211 K-Meleon/1.5

When I applied this to 1.5a Build 21, the string went from this:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.8) Gecko/20071013 K-Meleon/1.5

to this:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12pre) Gecko/20071211 K-Meleon/1.1.3 Firefox/2.0.0.11

Is the change from K-Meleon/1.5 to K-Meleon/1.1.3 a regression or is my package still version 1.5 ?

Thanks,

I agree, but my version is still this:-
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.10) Gecko/20071116 K-Meleon/1.1.3

and I made sure to close KM and the loader, before installing the update. Where has it gone ? No update shows !!

The installer is not very smart
It has problem with other than standart locations

Look for a folder called k-meleon that contains the update and copy it to k-meleon install folder by hand (each file must overwrite to the old file with the same name. Then delete ./components/compreg.dat & xpti.dat. That is all.

Version?

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12pre) Gecko/20071211 K-Meleon/1.1.3 Firefox/2.0.0.11 is a custom string. Set the Agent string to default to see the true K-Meleon version string which is located/set in ./defaults/pref/kmeleon.js responsible is pref("general.useragent.vendorSub", "1.1.3"); this can also be set/edited to 1.5 or whatever

The brun's updater contains AFAIK no code that changes this "general.useragent.vendorSub" number!



Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 12/27/2007 10:45PM by guenter.

I simply opened the installer with 7zip, then manually extracted and replaced each file in the correct folder (excetp copynew.sh and kmeleon-update.nsi).

If someone wants to make changes to the kmeleon-update.nsi and send it to me, so that it is smarter about locations, I'll be glad to accept it...


I'm not really a developer anymore, I'm just a user with a technical history who still knows how to hack in the classic sense. My experience with NSIS is limited.

Nsis installer code:

Remmember this is UNOFFICIAL ONLY Gecko engine update.(No K-Meleon update)

If you have problems with this update make a profile backup, uninstall K-Meleon, reinstall the official version and restore your backup profile.

Merry Christmas.

Brielle & desgas2 few PPL without experience will ever use other than default names So no hurry - I just mentioned it.

Probably best to use a variant of alain's installer - it has been refined to work for k-m for ages

For the record, the version 1.5 showed when this was done.

Thanks, guenter.

And thanks, bruns, for the file. It helps us all to learn more about KM.
