Why no updates for OWB on AmigaOS 4.1

It's not just OWB. There are a lot of OS4 programs - both backported from MorphOS and ported from other platforms - that had some initial work done but have been stagnant ever since. I wish more OS4 developers understood that maintaining software is just as important as the initial release.

Since 5 Sep 2011 the browser's name is "Odyssey", before that it simply was "OWB". Never has the official name of the browser been "MUI-OWB" AFAIK, that's just some OS4 community make-up name to separate Fab's browser from completely unrelated ones with similar names, but again - since 5 Sep 2011 there hasn't been any *need* for make-up names, since no web browser for AmigaOS has a similar name as Odyssey, so there is no reason not to use its *proper* name!

Come on, there's no need to be pedantic about it. "MUI-OWB" came about to differentiate it from the original OS4 port. Everyone knows what it means and it helps to prevent confusion between the multiple forks.

And yes, even though the official name is now Odyssey, it doesn't seem to have caught on much. I for one still call it OWB on my MorphOS box. It takes a long time to break old naming habits.
