Attempting to Resin 3.0.17 at work and coming accross a new changelog addition which is causing merry havoc with exisiting stuff. Caucho, in thier wisdom have decided to really start attaching null values to a Document’s DocumentType which is causing our XSLT processors to have a fit. Still having an issue getting it working but Im sure we are going to have to implement a decent entity resolver so the DocumentType is truely set and thus no null value appears.
I don’t mind changes, after all, pushing software forward requires additions but having zero tolerance for acceptable practises in previous releases is a mistake and makes introducing new systems a pain up the arse.
For the benefit of anyone googling here are some keys for this:
Document has null at beginning

Well, i’ve been playing with this for a good week now and it’s pretty good. It’s a slightly more refined UI than Firefox but lacks the extensible nature of Mozilla. The Zoom feature and view all pages in one window is very neat and I like that.
Tab logic is better than firefox, most people who are new to firefox dont know about the tabs as they are only created when you specify create new tab or install the enhanced tab preferences extension. The fact that IE has put the tabs by default is good.
Wasnt able to mess with the Newzcrawler stuff since it has timed out but I imagine it would be pretty good. Nice to see RSS XML becoming a player in the browser.
There are a few HTML rendering issues, specifically background colours (download.com is an excellent example of this happening). I also managed to crash it by attempting to refresh a page whilst in the view all pages mode but it seems as though that was a one off.
Back and forward buttons sucked ass big time (I dont use anything other than classic appearence on this machine).
Anyway, it’s good and in some ways better than Firefox but the extensions, themes and security of Firefox leave it ahead as far as i am concerned. Time, releases and good community reviews and I may go back to using IE but not anytime soon.
