From the website: NetSurf 3.10 released 24 May 2020 NetSurf 3.10 features many fixes, better performance and improved functionality. In particular, handling of authentication, certificates and fetch errors have been updated and unified. The GTK front end has had a major overhaul too. We recommend all users upgrade to NetSurf 3.10.
I've made some changes to netsurf-buildsystem and its libraries to try to sort out the ROOT/PREFIX mess. To finish the job, please make the following changes along with this version bump: * Change all uses of $ED to $D in the install functions. The build system already combines DESTDIR/PREFIX, and we set PREFIX to contain an "E" in gentoo-helpers.sh, so DESTDIR doesn't need another one. * Replace $EROOT/usr with $EPREFIX/usr. I'm not 100% sure that this will do the right thing, but I am sure that $EROOT/usr is wrong, because ROOT doesn't make sense in src_* functions: https://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/variables/index.html#root
I have a new version prepared (trying to work with upstream on some of these bugs, and they only care about v3.10). If you want me to mind my own business, please speak up in the next week or so. Otherwise I'll go ahead and commit the new version.

This new version (bug 727882) combined with the removal of the old versions fixes some outstanding issues: * Fixes the mixup between ED/D (and EROOT, variously) throughout the build system (bug 489542). * Adds a dependency on dev-lang/duktape, but as a result, has to drop keywords for arm, ppc, and ppc64 (bugs 698650, 728592). * Adds a patch to fix the location of utf8proc.h (bug 721318) * Adds a patch to disable failing tests (bug 687378). * Drops the broken USE=pdf-writer flag (bug 625770). * Apparently fixes the test failure with USE="-gtk2", since the test suite now passes (bug 672812). * Eliminates another test failure in v3.8 (bug 701322).
