Web-Browser: Release of IBrowse 2.5 might come closer
For more than ten years the website of the internet browser IBrowse as well as its programmer Oliver Roberts has been pointing out to a forthcoming version 2.5 of the programm, if any kind of problems or necessary updates were addressed. Many users gave up hope that IBrowse -which also cannot be purchased for almost ten years  - that an update will be released.

Now the website of the browser has been updated: " As we move closer towards a new IBrowse release, we've updated the FAQ a little and uploaded an unedited history log of all the changes made since IBrowse 2.4 was released (these will both be updated at various times in the future as development continues)." A precise date of a forthcoming version 2.5 is not mentioned in the FAQ, but it is said that "various stumbling blocks have been removed".

Mainly IBrowse 2.5 will provide minor improvements and adaptions to current MUI versions. Additionally, AmiSSL 4 is supported. If the update will be available for free "has yet to be decided". (cg) (Translation: dr)
