IBrowse 2.3 released, IOSPIRIT new distributor

[IOSPIRIT]

IOSPIRIT is pleased to unveil that a distribution agreement with Stefan Burström and the IBrowse Team has been signed and we are now the worldwide distributor for IBrowse (support for IBrowse is still done by the IBrowse development team, though).

Furthermore, we are pleased to announce the immediate release of the eagerly awaited update to IBrowse 2.2.

IBrowse 2.3 brings web browsing on AmigaOS to a new level - below is a brief summary of the changes since version 2.2:

- Heavily enhanced JavaScript support, based on JavaScript 1.5 and revision 3 of the ECMAScript specification, allowing access to sites which was not possible before

- Secure connection support is now available via AmiSSL v2, which can be configured extensively in the IBrowse preferences. Importing and exporting of certificates is now also supported.

- Greatly improved general stability and memory leaks plugged

- Improved GUI, including enhanced browser tab functionality (such as drag´n´drop, keyboard support)

- Issues with the ARexx interface have been fixed and new commands added

- Hundreds of other minor and major bug fixes + improvements, and more workarounds added to improve compatibility with broken sites

All these improvements greatly improve the browsing experience, and allow IBrowse to offer compatibility with many more websites than before.

If it works well in AOS4 then I'll definitely register it again.

Wooohooo oh happy days, I got GoldED through the post this morning an IB2.3 is ready for me to download, damn I feel happy :-D

[Nick]

Hehe So you`ve got GoldED at long last. Did Cyka persuade you?

I`m a happy chappy too. i`ll be happier when I actually have IBrowse2.3. Where the heck is the download? I`ll cary on looking.

[Nick]

Gotz yuz!

[Ryu]

Nah he didnt, the free version of 5 convinced me, then I saw GoldED6 being sold very cheaply so I went for it, 11.50 euro's including shipping straight from the man himself :-) cant go wrong.

Nice to see this browser finally updated, especially considering most considered it dead years ago. I've got my Voyager keyfile collecting dust, I wonder if I should give this a shot...

[Nick]

Well I took the plunge when 2.1 came out and haven`t regreted it since. Get shooting!

What is the status on full CSS1 (and partial CSS2) support?  IBrowse is just another toy browser without this mandatory (per W3C standards) seven year old technology.

Hello,

I've tested IBrowse 2.3 under MorphOS on a Pegasos G3 600MHz. It runs well, Javascript support seems to be quite good and the rendering is quite good also.

Sadly it seems that there is no CSS 1 or 2 support on this version (AFAIK this is planned for IBrowse 3.0 only) and no DOM support too.

I've also noticed that the Amiga key + V open a new browser, but then how do I paste something from the clipboard? There is no "paste" entry in the edit menu apparently (As i've said later, it seems to be a problem with the french catalog (maybe also with other actual catalogs, I didn't test)

Regards

Toy browser? I assume that you can write a better one then? That note probably encourages the developers a lot!

If you read the FAQ, you see it coming later.

I dont know what youve been smoking dude, here on a real Amiga right amiga V pastes as it has always done, and right amiga N opens a new window as its always done....

[Ryu]

hello Mr Genesi type person, I do hope your not trying to mock amiga software, as I see it your going to need all the help you can get from amiga develpers if your morphos platform is going to survive.

[Frodon]

Hello,

Right I found the problem It's because of the French catalogs which seems to not be ok with this version. If I remove it everything is OK

@Ryu: FYI I'm a registered user of IBrowse, I've bought the 2.0 version. If I want to use the 2.3 it's my choice and my right.
Thank you to respect that.

Regards

[Ryu]

@Frodon
hey I respect your choice, dont get me wrong, I think you've got a bit of a communications breakdown
