Does anyone know what the release time frame for a
useable Falkon on OS/2 will be? I will have no problem
donating substantially to the cause, as this is
essential to OS/2's continued existence.

They were hoping that it would already be released but it turned out
that our GCC 4.92 was too old to compile the webkit part of QT5 so they
got side tracked with porting GCC 9.2. This is close to done and once
done shouldn't take to long for the first builds.

Seems to be a couple to 6 mo off per VOICE. Donations accepted to get it paid for.

I just encountered a discouraging development. I was previously suspicious of relying on Falkon, as it even though it is good, it appears to be a one man show with limited resources and minimal updates. Relying on it would be risky at best.
Today, I went to renew a registration, and none of the browsers on my OS/2 (ArcaOS) would work. I then went to the Win10 netbook, and used Falkon to process the renewal. I then wanted to mail the completed PDF form using Gmail. But, Gmail would not
I really think any remaining development interests should seriously reevaluate the browser path and situation in OS/2. An OS without a functional browser has no viable future.
Google was/is blocking Falkon with the claim that it is insecure.
Considering Gmail works with FF45ESR, which likely has its share of vulnerabilities, it seems like a BS solution.
Unluckily, we have a shortage of developers, so have to take what we
can. What is really going to be a killer is as we move to a 64bit world,
all browsers are getting impossible to port as they just need too much address space to link.

Hi Dave,
are you talking about building the browser or running the browser ?
