"MUI-OWB" for OS4 is now released
« on: September 01, 2011, 05:26:44 PM »
The porting of Fab's webkit based browser (today known as Odyssey) to OS4 is now completed, and released as a public beta.

This port, known by the OS4 crowd as "MUI-OWB", brings version 1.9 of the browser to OS4, and the port was made by Kas1e. There might still be bugs present, and not all features are yet implemented, but Kas1e decided it was better to release it now "as-is", instead of waiting. Work will continue to iron out the bugs and finish the missing features, and then sync it with Fab's latest release of Odyssey, which currently is at version 1.14.

A 68k port would be more interesting.

For a hint of what improvements to expect as the port syncs with the latest Odyssey, you can always have a look at the history in the readme:

It will be interesting to see the differences (speed, overall behaviour) between the MorphOS original and the OS4.1 port on my Pegasos II. :D

(Maybe you should wait for a more mature version from kas1e though? :) )

Give us a review of the improvements you notice, compared to the previous OWB for OS4 releases.

Nice to see some cooperation between OS4 and MorphOS2.x camps.

You are a great resource and asset Fab, and apparently a great human being too!

OS X trumps Windows on every level.

MorphOS, OS4 and Classic Amiga systems are the only ones who are real \'Amigas\', not that joke AROS or Amiga Forever.

+1 regarding the Fab comment.

I can give you my little review while you wait. First of all it feals faster in pretty much everything. The other thing is that the GUI is way nicer with bookmarks in the menu, sidebar, a good download manager which reminds of the one found in IBrowse, and GUI for everything regarding settings, handling cookies and whatever you would expect from a modern browser.

RAOWB on the other hand feals a lot more clunky, the few config options available are set by tooltypes, the tool for bookmarks opens a window with a list of URLs, and the menu options are for copy/paste text, zooming, open files localy and not much else. It feals like it got a long way to go before it's completed while with MUI-OWB it feals completed.

More speed + nice GUI = very nice browser. I've always loved IBrowse so how can I not like this? I enjoy using it more than for example Firefox on my PC (or any other browser for that matter) so I'm really happy right now.
