Hello, I am MIRN, the manager of RheoEcho and the lead developer of this project. Regardless of how you discovered the Boundless Leafsheep browser, I have some unfortunate news to share. As a student in China, I will be taking the National University Entrance Examination (Gaokao) in a year to gain admission to my dream university. To prevent project disorganization and to ensure I can focus fully on my exams, I have decided to suspend updates and my personal commits from July 29, 2026, to July 31, 2027. Rest assured, however, that all online services for Leafsheep will remain operational during this period.
During this hiatus, if you have good ideas, feel free to submit code. I will review and merge pull requests into the rolling branch during my free time. Additionally, I have recently been under significant pressure regarding compatibility maintenance. Despite our efforts, numerous websites have not only blocked access from Leafsheep but many APIs have also become incompatible with Leafsheep.
Therefore, I would like to announce in advance that upon my return on July 31, 2027, I will release a preview regarding the next generation of the Boundless browser. The next-generation browser will be a semi-independent browser—meaning we will only utilize an open-source engine, while developing the GUI and all other components ourselves. Furthermore, we will migrate away from Basilisk and its UXP platform (Goanna engine) to a different engine (Blink is currently not under consideration). (For example, Firefox uses the Gecko engine. If we decide to adopt Gecko, we will build all remaining components and UI around Gecko.)
Everyone is welcome to submit naming suggestions for the next-generation Boundless browser, as well as your thoughts and ideas for it. I will also spend my leisure time brainstorming and trying to build the architecture and implementation methods for the next generation. Thank you for your understanding!

你好，我是 MIRN，也是 RheoEcho 的管理者，以及该项目的主力开发者。不管你是从什么渠道知道 Boundless Leafsheep 浏览器的，但我有一个消息要告诉大家：因为我在中国上学，我将在一年后参加中国的高考（National University Entrance Examination），去考取我心仪的大学。在此期间，为了防止项目混乱以及避免影响我个人的考试，我决定从 2026 年 7 月 29 日至 2027 年 7 月 31 日 期间暂停项目的更新和我个人的提交。但请您放心，我们在此期间会继续维持 Leafsheep 一切联网服务的正常运营。
在此期间，如果您有好的想法，也非常欢迎提交代码，我在空闲时间审核后会合并入 rolling 分支内。同时，在最近的兼容性适配上，我感受到了很大的压力。尽管如此，依然有很多网站不仅停止了 Leafsheep 的访问，还有大量 API 与 Leafsheep 不兼容。
因此我提前预告，我会在 2027 年 7 月 31 日 回归后发布关于 Boundless 下一代浏览器的相关预告。下一代浏览器将成为半独立浏览器——即我们只使用其他开源项目的内核，GUI 和其他部分由我们自己实现完成。同时，我们将从基于 Basilisk 及其 UXP 平台（Goanna 内核）切换为其他内核（目前不考虑 Blink）。 (例如 Firefox 使用的是 Gecko 内核，假如我们采用 Gecko 内核，那么我们会围绕 Gecko 完成其他的所有内容)
欢迎各位提交下一代 Boundless 浏览器的名字以及对下一代 Boundless 的一些想法。我也会在空闲时间思考并尝试构建下一代浏览器的架构与实现方法。感谢您的理解！
