Web browser: IBrowse 2.5.4
Another update for the web browser IBrowse has been released which is free for existing customers:
- Fixed crash when modifying strings in the spoof settings, which occurred with older MUI versions
- Tweaked default fastlink URLs, whilst adding EAB.abime.net
- 68k: Fixed drawer icon inheritance setting
- Removed call to deprecated MUI_Error() function
- Completely abandoned bidirectional SSL shutdowns due to some servers being broken and not replying properly, which caused HTTPS connections to hang and never complete
- Updated Polish and Italian language catalogs
- OS4: Fixed AmiUpdate not updating the Norwegian catalog
- Updated PNG decoder using libpng 1.6.37
- Fixed possible reference to freed memory for secure pages when updating the status bar
- Detect incomplete gzip encoded downloads, flagging them as an error and allowing the auto resume feature to handle them too
- Added handling of marginwidth, marginheight, border and scrolling attributes for <iframe> elements
- Fixed broken JavaScript in iframes, due to wrong (parent) context being used
- Skip alternative content for iframes when iframes enabled
- Fixed crash when freeing pages with nested iframes
- Image links and maps now default to showing no border
- Border now rendered for non-linked image elements when specified
- 68k: Downgraded locale.library requirement from V39 to V38, for Workbench 3.0 compatibility
- Fixed crash that would happen should locale.library fail to open
- Fixed case where HTTPS connections did not finish loading due to some servers not responding to an SSL shutdown, when the disk cache was disabled
The developers also explained: "Some development work has also been done on HTML <iframe> support (which Stefan started during IBrowse 2.4 development), but this remains disabled in public releases until it is deemed stable."

End user help wanted: VirusZ and xvs.library to become open source
Georg Wittmann (formerly Hörmann) plans to release the source codes of his projects VirusZ and xvs.library after 15 years of inactivity. Before that he wants to make sure that his anti-virus software runs on AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and AROS (m68k): Since he himself does not have most of the systems mentioned, he has written a short program that collects and outputs information about the current computer. He asks that as many users as possible with one of the mentioned operating systems run the program and send him the output by e-mail. (cg) (Translation: bb)

OnyxSoft: ZapperNG 1.2
ZapperNG by Stefan Blixth is an extended re-implementation of the MorphOS commodity Zapper by his former team fellow Adam Waldenberg. Unlike the original program, ZapperNG is also available for AmigaOS 3.x, AmigaOS 4 and AROS (the latter being a port by Eugene Sobolev). Now version 1.2 has been released.
The commodity modifies the ZipWindow() function of intuition.library, i.e. the behaviour of the "zoom" symbol in the upper right corner of a window. Instead of switching between two sizes of a window, it becomes extended to the full screen. Depending of the chosen parameter, the screen's title bar is either omitted or not. Further options enable a balanced scaling to all directions, avoiding the active window to put into front, defining a hotkey as alternative to clicking the zoom symbol, and cycling between windows by pressing Alt-Tab.
