AmigaOS 4: Web-Browser OWB 2.12 (update)
Jörg Strohmayer has published a new version of his port of the Origyn Web Browser. Please note that AmigaOS 4.1 is required because Cairo is used. The changes since the last release:
- Split status/tooltip and progress bars, moved them to the bottom and
using the Prefs/GUI Gadgets/Small font (RAfallback/8 if not set) for
them (bugs.os4depot.net issue #12).
Because of these changes in the gui the WIDTH and HEIGH tooltypes for
setting the size of the webview aren't supported any more.
- Added tooltip support and enabled showing URLs in tooltips
- Toolbar images weren't disposed, fixed
- Added CONFIRMQUIT tooltype, if enabled a requester is displayed asking
if you really want to quit OWB when closing the last window with the
close gadget (issue #15)
- Creates single colour pointers from the true colour ones, they are
only used when not running on a Radeon gfx card and SOFTSPRITE isn't
enabled on other gfx cards
- Updated to SVN revision 580 (gif anims, setting the mouse pointer and
drawing the inner frame scroll bars currently don't work)
Update: (13.10.2008, 7:30 p.m., cg)
Meanwhile version 2.12 was published which fixes a bug of the mouse pointer. (cg) (Translation: dr)
