I’ve been working on the past few weeks on Eve, an web browser that uses WebKit-EFL.

This browser is a complete rewrite of the old Eve web browser, and is meant to be used on mobile devices. It is currently pretty complete, including tabs, bookmarks, and history. It also looks good to boot (thanks Marina!), as it is based on the Efenniht theme (click to open a larger version):

Screenshots won’t make it any justice though, as Eve is capable of some nice and smooth animations. I’m too lazy to make a screencast, so you’ll have to download and run it locally to see the interface at work

So Enlightenment users can benefit from this project, I’ve committed it to the Enlightenment SVN repository (on /trunk/eve). Also, there are some things that I didn’t have time to implement, so open sourcing this seems to be a nice idea: so, if you’d like to dive into the code, there are a few things that I’d like to have implemented on the browser… bug me on IRC (acidx @ freenode).

I’ve been recently nominated as a WebKit committer after landing more than 60 patches to upstream the EFL port. My account was set up yesterday, and I’ve already committed some build fixes that would otherwise get dusty on the bug tracker.

This will eventually speed up the maintenance of the EFL port, as build fixes do not require to be reviewed by someone else, and thus don’t require the use of the usually crowded commit queue.
