I can't say I'm impressed by the iBrowse FAQ.
It's not meant to impress, it's meant to answer frequently asked questions. There is not one item on the FAQ that has not been covered on the IBrowse mailing list, but I tried to ensure the answers gave as much information as possible, where I knew there would be areas of discussion.
It doesn't really make a positive impression.
Depends on your point of view, I mean it answers all the questions people have been asking, they know what will, and what won't be in the release. Everyone always complains there isn't enough information, or people promise things and don't deliver in the Amiga community, so I tried to be as clear about things as I could.
Feature wise it may be dissappointing in that there is no CSS etc, but it was never said it would have CSS, and anytime anyone has asked, the answer has always been no.
I mean CSS I can understand but Flash
It was asked if the API was complete enough to at least do a Flash plugin, but alas it's not at this time.
PPC I thought would've beena priority
PPC was never planned, Stefan said he'd have to change compilers (I'm not a programmer so don't know the technical details, perhaps Oliver can explain that a bit more if required). The problem here was the announcement made about IBrowse PPC in OS4. Stefan was on holiday at the time, the first he heard of it was when he returned!
I'm sorry so many people feel that the FAQ has put a negative spin on the 2.3 release. That was not our (or mine - I compiled it) intention in any way, it was simply to clear up some common questions and missconceptions, and to provide some information for new visitors to the site (and the 100+ new subscribers to the mailing list since the site was "announced").
Best Regards,

PS. This is my first post here, so don't be too hard on me ;-)
