Web browser: IBrowse 3.0
Press release: IBrowse 3 has arrived. It's finally time to move on from IBrowse 2, which has been developed for over 20 years! IBrowse 3 makes available the previously unreleased features that were originally being worked on alongside IBrowse 2.4 (on a completely separate development branch), whilst retaining everything from IBrowse 2.5.9 and all the new developments since its release. The IBrowse 2 and 3 development branches are now fully merged, which was a complex and time-consuming task, due to considerable divergence. The process was completed methodically and carefully, in order to not compromise stability or lose any functionality. Development can now move forward without being restricted to the limitations of the IBrowse 2 framework, allowing for more substantial changes.
See the new What's new? and "History Log for full details of all the changes, but a brief summary follows:
- IBrowse 2 and IBrowse 3 Unification
- New Reimagined HTML Parser
- Improved HTML Engine
- The HTML engine has been improved with numerous layout and rendering enhancements, including tables, lists and superscript + subscript text.
- Hotlist Multi-aliasing
- Early Data / Zero Round Trip Time Resumption (0-RTT)
- Better GIF Animation Playback
- AmigaOS 3.2 Context Sensitive Mouse Pointers
- NList GUI Consistency
- Improved Preferences Window
- Decompression and Image Decoding Libraries Upgraded
- Space Saving Improve Efficiency
We hope you enjoy the new version and we look forward to adding new features and improving the HTML engine much further over the coming months.
IBrowse 3 is a free upgrade for those who registered IBrowse 2.5 (or upgraded) at the full 68K/PPC rate - existing key can be used with IBrowse 3. Users of the 68K only version of IBrowse 2.5 and older IBrowse versions will need to upgrade to unlock full functionality.
To celebrate the release of IBrowse 3, we are offering registration at reduced rates for new users (25-30% off) and upgrades (30-35% off) compared to the previous IBrowse 2.5 pricing. (dr)
