Voyager 3 update soon???
« on: November 11, 2002, 01:54:47 PM »
According to Zapek in his .plan on the  Voyager 3 homepage a new release is being worked on.

Quote:
"I know it's been some time V beta 'timed out' (although it's still useable, there's some requester on startup). The reason there's no new version yet is that I started to do some significant changes but didn't finish. Shouldn't take too long though."

Questions:
1)Will this new release even work, unlike previous releases?
2)Will the new release be MOS only?

Worst keyfile purchase ever! Don't waste your money.

@Red:
TBQH, stability of  V3,has been an issue with many for a while.
I do like V3, but when (not if) it crashes, it's a system killer and you soon just want to junk the bloody thing. If this release can fix stability issues, all the better.
As much as the Vapor team do like MOS, they'd be mad to not support 3.x, but it's their product and their choice. I would reckon that there will be releases for both versions of V.

You mean 2.95? How many years is that in the tooth? Besides even that version has it's issues and is beta a best even if it is called a release version. I registered to support development hoping for improvement.

I can't candy coat my disapointment. That's alot of scratch for pretty much non-functional product. Not to say the other browsers are that much better, but I found myself using Aweb almost exclusively.

 I couldn't get the bloody thing (V3) working at all on my previous system, no matter what I did. It would immediately take the whole system down.

Interesting, I've really never had too much trouble with V3.  I use it exclusively on my OS3.9 A4000 with good success.  It worked fine on my OS3.1 A1200 too.  I did once have a problem with V2 on an A3000 but V3 seems solid to me.  I even used the Flash player which worked well.

All versions of Voyager have worked pretty well on my Amigas.  One thing I would like to mention is that Vapor better be planning on putting out some good updates.  The 2.3 release of iBrowse is on the horizon, and by the looks of it, it will be excellent.  I think it will raise the browser competition bar.

I've never figured out why some people have some luck with V3, while others like myself could not get V3 anywhere near working. No hacks on my system, your basic run of the mill A3k/MK2-060/Prometheus-Voodoo3/OS3.9. After quite a few forum discussions, no one knew what the problem was, but some others experienced the same thing, while a few like yourself had no prob.

I use Voyager for most of my online activities, Ibrowse seems more
stable, but Voyager's functions seem to work better.  I rarely use
Aweb, but it does have its uses (its the only one I can use to sell
stuff on eBay, the others all hang on the final Submit Auction button)
Bring on the update.

Voyager has been really kind to me.  Last week it crashed, just V,
after being runing for 2 weeks!  Been back to the same site a few
tmes since with no crash too.  The download crashes if I choose to
overwrite a file though.  

I hope the next release improves so others can run this great program.

The last few Betas have always been crash heavy for me, older/release ones seem not to bad.
It has sure been along wait for a major update..lets hope the new release/updates come more frequent.
