...is now available. The news seems to have slipped under the radar here, somehow.

Functional, modern, native browser, hooray!

It's fast. Not IBrowse-fast, but it feels much faster than OWB. Definitely 100% usable.

I was having random lockups on my MOS PowerUp installation that I *thought* I had tracked down to SANA-II activity (symptoms would appear with Miami and Envoy).

Turns out it was something to do with SFS. The current 68K version is incompatible with MorphOS and if it's installed in your RDB its higher version number will cause it to be used instead of the working version in the MorphOS "ROM" image.

I ended up dropping back to SFS 1.84 in my RDB. It might also be possible to continue to use the 68K 1.279 but with a false version identifier to make it appear to be older than the 1.210 that MorphOS uses.

Piru can probably explain the technical reasoning better.
