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.

If we're talking MUI-OWB I think kas1e (who did the Os4 port) got pissed off and stopped development on it after the initial release.  Something to do with Hyperion iirc, but memory is sketchy, if I can find the thread I'll link to it.

There are two versions of OWB for OS4, Reaction based OWB (now discontinued) and the port of Odyssey (just before the rename), which it seems has also stopped development at the moment, if someone picks it up again it could resume, or if kas1e changes his mind.

Just use "Timberwolf", the Firefox/Holy Grail of OS4!

:p


Far too slow to be usable in its present state.
