The latest public weekly build of coming Kestrel has a function to set vertical scroll-bar left side of window. You can test it using reload from cache with your favourite web page.
Usually adding dir="rtl" at the top of HTML, something curious happens, as far as I test with my Japanese site, i.e. the Japanese periods are positioned left, while the other letters align right, as;

BTW, some use weekly builds as a main browser, but I still use 9.26 as main and 9.50 just to launch for testing purposes.

SVG Open 2007 at Keio

Kestrel, svg, Japan

This week, I went to Keio University, in Tokyo, to attend the SVG Open 2007, to help W3C/Keio, as Opera employee. Erik Dahlström, Chaals of OperaASA, and many other SVG guys came to Tokyo. Opera ASA participated it as one of the main sponsors. In the middle of week, we had Kestrel's first public alpha release, so we had to spare sleeping time to test it, after coming back from Keio

Good sufferings.

Photo are up, grouped as "SVG Open 2007" in my PHOTO page.

At Opera booth, I could say thanks to Ruud Steltenpool, the author of "Playing SVG Darts", face to face

That was also very good.

At the end of 4 days sessions, Doug Schepers of W3C announced the beta release of the SVG 1.2 Tiny Test Suite, and now you can see the SVG Tiny 1.2 Conformance Suite Implementation Status, though Beta 0.1, Kestrel's on the list there. And I think many of you have already seen the another list, by Jeff Schiller, at his CODE DREAD, which we displayed on the screen of LCD at our booth during SVG Open. Yes, Kestrel is better than Batik!
