NEW OWB version for 68k available !!

[0amigan0]

Jorg Strohmayer has released version 1.2 of OWB browser for 68k!
Grab it here:

In this version he fixed the keyboard input problem.

This just keeps getting better and better.

Given the slow pace of development of AWeb and IBrowse, OWB looks like the only viable web browser for M68K Amigas.

Can't wait for the next update!

 Nice!! I hope that Unicode support will be introduced in the 68k version as well.

it works very well, i have posted in italian forum from owb
but it seems slower than first version...

It's based on SDL right? I think SDL on 68k Amigas is very slooooow...

This is great news for UAE/future Natami users. I hope they keep it up. They will probably have triple the users of the OS4 version when its really usable.

[wawrzon]

are there (m)any natami users yet?

I guess that's down to about two persons, Gunnar and Thomas ;-).

It's rather acceptable under WinUAE running on a 2.4 GHz PC (single core).

@spihunter:well, thanks, thats my point. otherwise im really fond a(both) natami and owb 68k (and other developments). even if i have to revide my previous opinion of ppc/os4 as useless, given my late experience with some software on aos i would wissssh to run .. a little faster. but i suppose i willm manage another several months without an upgrade. sigh..

It still doesn't work for me. Anybody know what the Openlibrary "" is about? It actually returns an address. Maybe a bug in Snoopy?

Is this still being developed? I say because now there is a better SDL

http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=69103

BTW it doesn't work for me either. I've tried AmiKit or AKReal and it only wastes fast ram without starting.

no, in fact it has never been developed for amiga (68k), the compiles here were only meant as a blatant demonstration that it would not work or work so poorly that it doesnt pay to bother.

in the meantime the development has been given up also on os4 where the port originates from and the sources are locked away, so that none can do anything about it.

as actually working alternatives for amiga there are two possibilities so far: netsurf port by artur, which is available from aminet and aros owb which is also based on sdl, while actually working and providing a simple but complete user interface. to run it you have to run aros68k though.
