I have lha version 2.12 and it gives me an error when I try to decompress the file "*** Error on file 'AutoInstall' : Unknown compression (need newer LHA version)".   I see a version 2.15, but the changelog didn't say anything about adding a new compression type. What version of LHA is needed to decompress the archive?


OS3.5/9 unarchiver should do the job. No need to use lha command.

Javascript buttons still don't work. Something to do with event code bindings, don't have a clue what is missing here because most of the event code stuff seems to be in place!

Note that the lack of a dynamic layout engine means the message probably wouldn't disappear even if the buttons worked. The layout engine is the main reason for missing Javascript functionality.


Ok, thans for your answer. Hopefully there is some fix possible...

Apologies for this.  I would have re-compressed the archive but had completely forgotten it didn't work with the (Amiga) command-line LhA tool.

Hey Chris! Nice job on this. I have been running it for a couple days now on the X5000 with little complaints. The one thing that drives me nuts is the fonts. Is there a way to make them a bit more friends on the eyes? The default looks kinda bad.

You can configure them in the Fonts tab in settings.  What's wrong with the defaults?
You might need to correct the DPI value too, which is under Rendering.

Typing in the message window at amiga.org and characters disappear as I type towards the right.  After I hit enter key, the line looks ok.
If  I set anti-aliasing off in the fonts preferences, the charaters appear normal as I type.

Not very helpfull. Run netsurf from shell netsurf -v *>ram:ns_log.txt etc and send log to Chris and tell what kind of amiga you have? Remember add some stack to it before you run it.

Do you have guigfx and render libraries installed?

It actually requests v43.

Is NetSurf saying it can't open it, or is that message coming from elsewhere?

Oh, just noticed you have OS3.1.  You'll need OS3.5 minimum.  You can try upgrading individual components but that's unsupported and untested.
