"MUI-OWB" for OS4 is now released

[takemehomegrandma]

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.

This progress is really good news!

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.

Cool! "The same" SW on *the same* HW!

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

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.

Wait for the OS4 port to mature!
