OWB Browser 3.14 for AmigaOS 4.x

[Wayne]

Version 3.14 of OWB for AmigaOS 4.x has been released.

OWB for AmigaOS is a rapidly improving web browser based on Sand-Labs' Webkit implementation, that aims to provide modern web browsing experience for AmigaOS users. OWB is mainly targeted to AmigaOS4.1, but most of it works on AmigaOS 4.0 as well.

Changes : 3.14 (8.6.2009)        

• Fixed progress bar. Since the changes need new methods the text search is now disabled on AmigaOS 4.0.
• Fixed several cookie bugs, for example GMail and the URL from bugs.os4depot.net issue #131 are working now.
• Added more checks for broken font installations.
• Implemented HTTP authentication, partially based on the AROS OWB diffs with minor bug fixes, and added support for http://username:password@example.com/ urls (bugs.os4depot.net issues #121 and #149).
  
• Added support for scrolling with space and backspace (bugs.os4depot.net issue #169) and (#186).
• Added ToolType DOWNLOADDIR (bugs.os4depot.net issue #154).
• Added ToolType DISABLEGIFANIMS.
• Fixed bugs.os4depot.net issues #170, #175, #180, #183 and #185.
• Added Accept-Language: header based on locale preferences.
• URL and web search gadgets did not always work if they weren't activated with the mouse, fixed.
• Updated to SVN revision 994 (OWB milestone Galeking).
• Changed menu shortcut from "Copy" (UTF-8) to "Copy as {8 bit locale charset}" (bugs.os4depot.net issue #176).
• Added support for closing the current window/tab with (bugs.os4depot.net issue #187).
• Updated SplashLauncher to version 1.3 (bugs.os4depot.net issue #117).
• Added new toolbar images and updated scripts from Martin Merz.

perhaps the news item should be rephrased to "OWB Browser 3.14 for AmigaOS4.x" as it doesn't run on AmigaOS 3.x (the version that most of users have or expect when you talk about AmigaOS)

I have been using OWB 3.15 for almost 2 hours.  Working great so far.  Visited all my usual haunts and posted at all three amiga forum sites where I normally post.  Also downloaded an mp3 file.

Thanks to Joerg Strohmayer for his work.
