After many years in the making, development has been on a roller coaster since IBrowse 2.4, with challenging personal, technical and commercial issues complicating the release schedule. However, we are extremely happy to finally make this new version available to all the valued users who have been waiting so patiently. IBrowse 2.5 fixes many bugs, making it the most stable and fastest version yet, but more importantly brings modern SSL/TLS support and a fully native AmigaOS 4.x build. Below is a very brief summary of the key changes since version 2.4: Brand new OS4 PPC native version. This is not a simple port, but we have taken great care to ensure it fully utilises of all the relevant new features avaiable in OS4 and as such requires a minimum of OS4.1 Final Edition. Uses the new graphics.library RTG system, dropping CyberGraphX support completely. Other features include faster image rendering using hardware compositing, anti-aliased text rendering and proper daylight saving time handling. Support for AmiSSLv4 has been added to IBrowse 2.5, allowing the use of the most up to date SSL implementation available for AmigaOS, including TLSv1.3, based on the most recent versions of OpenSSL. Integrated with new MUI 4.0 and 5.0 features, including new context sensitive mouse pointers, support for various built-in MUI menus and other new GUI additions. MUI 3.8 is still supported (although we recommend 3.9 as a minimum). Browser spoofing strings can now be customised in a variety of different ways with up to 128 user defined strings available in the preferences. All the internal image decoders have been improved, with various fixes, alpha channel handling, and speed optimisations. The JPEG and PNG decoders now fully utilise the decoding improvements and optimisations from the current Warp Datatypes, which also includes AltiVec acceleration in the JPEG decoder. Full alpha channel support on >= 15-bit displays (OS4 only). 4Gb+ file handling and downloads, with files bigger than 2Gb now being handled properly in the GUI (OS4 only). The OpenSearch standard is now supported for allowing search engines to automatically be added to the search bar, in addition to the existing older Sherlock/Mycroft support from IBrowse 2.4. TextEditField object has had an overhaul, fixing various issues and adding new features. Rendering is done in a more MUI4/5 compatible manner allowing these objects to inherit your MUI settings. Your mousewheel can now be used for scrolling and various MUI defined keyboard shortcuts are now honoured. Improved general stability and memory leaks plugged. Hundreds of other minor and major bug fixes + improvements, and increased tolerance of broken sites for better compatibility. Editorial note: Also for existing customers, the update is not available for free: if you watn to use the demo version without any limitations you have to purchase a keyfile. The full version costs 54 Euro and you will get the 68k as well as the PPC version for it. Upgrades of previous versions cost 45 Euro (upgrades of IBrowse 1.x) or 30 Euro (IBrowse 2.x). If you are going to upgrade only your AmigaOS 3 version, you only have to pay 15 or 30 Euro depending on version of the existing keyfile. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 31.
