+<dt><a href="http://ci.netsurf-browser.org/">Development builds now using Duktape</a> <span>12 Aug 2015</span></dt>
+<dd>We have replaced the old version of SpiderMonkey that we used to use as our JavaScript engine with <a href="http://duktape.org/">Duktape</a>, a lightweight engine which is more in keeping with NetSurf's goals. While we're testing our new JavaScript implementation we are forcing it on all the time in development builds. We'll return the &quot;JavaScript Enabled&quot; option to being choices-controlled when we're happy we're back to feature/stability parity.</dd>

<dd>NetSurf's core developers met up at <a href="http://www.codethink.co.uk/">Codethink</a>'s office in Manchester to make some progress on a couple of the big areas we've been planning for some time. We made a start at changing to use <a href="http://duktape.org/">Duktape</a> as the JavaScript engine, and started outlining the shape of our <a href="http://source.netsurf-browser.org/libnslayout.git/">new layout engine</a>. For more details, see Vince's <a href="http://vincentsanders.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/netsurf-developers-and-order-of-phoenix.html">write-up</a>.</dd>
