Errr, no.

Use the time limited version or the demo for now, continue to be patient and continue trying to contact the developers.

Otherwise, chances are, there will be no Ibrowse v3.

Why kill off development of the best Amiga Browser, and the only native one still in development?

Powerbook 5.8 (15", 1.67GHz, 128MB VRam, 1GB Ram): MorphOS 3.8.

Windows-free since 2011-2014 (Damn you Netflix!)

@Nearly-right

I've still got a warm fuzzy feeling about having the upgradae from 2.3 > 2.4 :-D

Ibrowse3 will be a bonus, but based on the time gap between 2.3 > 2.4, I'm not holding my breath.

@futuara

Perhaps a bounty would increase your motivation?

Ontop of the ongoing gratitude of the entire Amiga community and the kudos of being one of the authors of the best Amiga browser too, of course!

Whatever happens, I'm happy to have paid out for the software - money well spent.

Regards

@ Thread

I understand the frustration, but do you think a load of attitude is going to
a) encourage the Ibrowse team
or
b) Make the Ibrowse team see the Amiga community as full of ungrateful W@*kers.

These people are doing this for nothing, in their own precious free time (yes, we all have a life away from the Amiga), on top of having full time jobs.

Get a grip, check the attitude, and think about what approach is likely to yield results: ungrateful yapping about "what they owe their customers" (all of whom have already received the product they paid for - upgrades are offered as a free bonus) or friendly encouragement.

@TJlazer - frankly mate, your facts are incorrect. If you own a keyfile for v2.1, then the same keyfile will work for 2.4 without any modification. If you have had to download a bootleg keyfile then you obviously have not paid for a 2.x keyfile in the first place.
The v2.4 distribution is available on the Ibrowse website, so basically, your words say that you are just stealing their software.

I bought iBrowse from ebay and the seller could not find the 2.1 keyfile, all I have is the older disks and a paper saying I can upgrade to 2.1, but the site is down.  I am not trying to BS anyone, I am entitled to version 2.4 and I now have it. I sleep well at night thank you.


Then I humbly apologise.
When you said that you bought IB2.1 I had assumed you meant from IOspirit, hence my misunderstanding.
I sometimes jump to the wrong conclusion, as in this case.

If there is a piece of Amiga software I want and I cant buy it, I'll use a crack, copy etc.

Is that the official word from AO moderation on this subject?
