It cannot, the CI service only keeps the last 25 builds

However:
build #417 was at commit 38a9c374a4685c6b06625e63c3e305101e531d81
build #461 was at commit 61a2b8ddc452b915925793f4f538dbb2ca9b5ba5

and

git log 
38a9c374a4685c6b06625e63c3e305101e531d81..61a2b8ddc452b915925793f4f538dbb2ca9b5ba5

shows all changes between them

I have added teh list to the bug

Many thanks for the response, and for the log. Unfortunately, I'm none
the wiser since none of the log descriptions suggests - to me, a user -
that it might be responsible for the problem.

I wonder if anyone else, who uses Yahoo Mail, can replicate this:

   On the log-in screen, enter ID and Password, click 'Sign In'

   This leads to a screen which says

  If you are seeing this page, your browser settings prevent you from
  automatically redirecting to a new URL.

  Please click here to continue.

   Notwithstanding the warning, older versions of NetSurf _do_ redirect,
   and display the webmail page, as expected. The current version (#1083
   json, or jsoff) displays a 'Warning from NetSurf' saying 'BadType',
   and no redirection.

For me this is a nuisance, rather than a show-stopper, since I normally
use pop/smtp, but I need to remember to load #417, to access the Spam
folder, etc.

Failed rendering of background image

2013-04-23 Thread Martin Bazley 
The changes to NetSurf making it no longer abort the redraw if one of
the images within the rectangle fails to render have brought a
significant improvement in usability, but they don't seem to cover all
cases.

In particular, the old symptoms of white trails left by windows dragged
across the page in a certain direction are very visible on this page:

http://raphazlab.wordpress.com/

The offending image is the banner, which for some reason is inserted
into the CSS like so:

background: url('http://raphazlab.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/banner2012.jpg') 
no-repeat;

This appears to cause NetSurf to fail to implement its workaround, and
fall back on the old behaviour of aborting redraw.

Not really sure if that counts as a bug or not.  It may well be
intentional.  What would a suitable alternative behaviour for background
images be?
