Hi all!

I was wondering if it was about time that you updated the IGB again. The last time it was looked at was in 2009 and I seem to remember the whole point of moving over to WebKit/Chrome was so you could push out more regular updates to Moondoggie.

There have been a lot of changes to HTML5 and CSS3 in the last 5 years and I think that a lot of player sites would love to take advantage of these developments.

Also while you are at it can you include a text search on evemails. I have always thought this was a bit of a tiny oversight.

Thanks!

While I applaud asking for sources, I have to say that this has been quite well known for some time. I would take a gander at dev blogs and fanfest vids every once in awhile if I were you.

I've just come back to Eve after about a year dealing with stuff dirtside. I haven't had chance to fully catch up with all the blogs.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Thanks for the sources. Still, you never know... also that text search in evemails might still be a good idea...

The more you bolt things onto the browser, the more holes you introduce. I'm fairly sure that there is a simple way of exploding the IGB already with certain content causing the browser or even the client to crash. Giving more avenues of attack is not a good idea. This topic is the epitome of "if it works, do NOT screw with it!".
