I had to change the cache format so the cached files will be lost. If you
configure IBrowse to use your old cache dir, flush the cache
(Cache->Disk cache->Clean)
Note about proxy servers:
Enter your proxy host as http://host:port in the preferences. If you proxy supports
ftp and gopher you can enter http://host:port in the http and gopher strings too.
(Note: http://)
Delete all old IBrowse related files. (You may save your hotlist)
Dearchive it where you want it. (A dir will be created)
Start it and start prefs to configure where you want to have the cache dir.
(If you are afraid of hd crashes, you can have the cache in ram: until you
believe that IBrowse is stable!)
It can only open 2 network connections.
You may only have 1 window open.
Mailto interface is disabled.
telnet interface is disabled.
ftp and gopher are disabled.
gifanims only loop 5 times
+ a couple of more that you'll like when you see the final release...
The last demo release created lots of problems to some people and most of them
was their own faults. You should _not_ copy any libs out of the IBrowse dir.
And you _must_ remove all old files, libraries etc from the last demo. Failure
to do so will most likely result in the 'Cannot open url message'
The progressive image decoders should now be stable on OCS/ECS/AGA/CYBERGFX systems.
It should work on any screen depth in CyberGfx.
Many people have contributed to this release with many useful bugreports.
Thank you very much!
I have put together a sample prefs file with the most common mime types
configured. I have used multiview as the main viewer, but you can change it to
whatever you like. Please note that the 'External w. Pipe' mode isn't
implemented yet.
If you don't like the spinning anim or if you thinks it takes too much time,
you can use the other one supplied in '/Images' rename the old and copy
def_TransferAnimationNM#? to def_TransferAnimation. It is a static picture.
If you thinks it uses too much colors, you can replace it with a custom
picture. (Check the files and you'll understand. Do also check the .info files
because they contain size info)
IBrowse should now be stable when you abort loading in all cases. If you still
have problems, please let me know asap.
Please not that you do not have to copy any libraries from the IBrowse dir. If
you do so, you'll most likely see problems in the future (like you did with
the v0.67 release)
Pressing a link while holding shift down now downloads the file to disk.
Aminet dirs should now be shown correctly even if you press 'back'
Made 2 image dirs. 1 with the old ones and one with the new ones. Choose the
one you like most.
The most important changes from R4a
Added AS225 support. (See ReadMe_as225 for details)
Removed stupid crash bug when aborting pageloading / download binary.
Implemented a progressive JPEG decoder.
Added the TextArea form element.
Added IsIndex.
Reworked the images for the nav. buttons. If you have your own buttons, please
look at the Images/def_Navigation for an example of how to create new ones.
Reworked the gui abit. You can now drag all button bars and place them where
you like them in the window. You can also turn of various GUI parts.
Splitted prefs in 2: General Prefs and Network Prefs
Put the imagedecoder in a shared library. If you use datatypes only, you don't
have to have 80k of unused code loaded.
The hotlist is saved in html format now.
The most important changes from R5
Form contents is saved when you move around.
You can search for text in a document (it is abit limited thought)
Document remembers what you were reading if you switch page.
Pressing RMB over a link or image will bring up a menu with some selections
(eg. Save to disk, view in external viewer. Note that you need to have a viewer
configured for this to work.)
Implemented most sorts of tables. Table Frames, Frame Sizes etc. are used now.
Added better proxt support. Now you can use proxys for ftp and gopher.
(Just write 'http://some.host:port' in HTTP/Gopher proxy strings.
Added NoProxy. Just enter the host you don't want to use proxy on.
Added possibility to save preferenses with a unique name.
Added lots of missing HTML3/NHTML tags. (Like etc.)
Changed the font handling to use less memory. (Fonts are only opened if they
are needed
Fixed the imagedecoder to work on all cybergfx screens.
Cross checked the form parser. FutureNet now works ok.
Added transparent support for AmiTcp/IN225. (MLink users, see ReadMe_MLink)
Fixed stupid eating chipmem bug. (Again:(
IBrowse can now read IBrowseR4 hotlists correctly. Sorry about this problem.
Added 28 days of evaluation. You can now use the IBrowse demo in 56 days.
Sorry that I couldn't upload a new demo before the old one expired.
The most important change from R6a
No more crashes when you try to authenticate yourself at web pages
Handles multiple submit buttons better
Handles tables better
Implemented shortcuts. You can define a shortcut for every hotlist entry
which you can type instead of a real url.
Handles Client Side Image Maps better now.
The most important change from R7
Added telnet support. (disabled in the demo)
www.host.com urls now works again without trailing /
Textarea's works again.
The most important change from R7a are
Added a simple cache browser.
Added a simple info window.
Added support for animated gifs (They eat memory though)
Fixed lots of parser bugs. Esp. tables looks nicer now
The most important change from R8 are
Fixed refresh problems in textareas
Fixed problems with html pages with badly formated image links
Note:
Some people have reported problems with IBrowse and the new 24bit datatypes.
I have found that the problem is in many cases a bug in the KS3.1 rom.
If IBrowse fails with a guru 8000000B this is most likely caused by this. In
that case, please try to show the picture with multiview. If that fails too,
it is not IBrowse fault. Afaik this only occurs on 040 based machines running
KS3.1 To correct this, there is a patch on Aminet: 'util/boot/MathPatch.lha'
(Which fixes crashes from other programs aswell that uses math functions)
Happy browsing!

ps. Every time you find a page that is not visible, try 'Show source'
In most cases it is a badly formated comment that eats the rest of the page.
If you find any pages with this, please email me the url.
Simple refresh window will result in strange refreshing of some GUI elements
(sliders, string gadgets etc.) This is a bug in MUI and it is fixed in future
releases.
If you select the TextArea element and try to use Sliders, the window won't
react. This is a bug in MUI and we are working on a solution.
Transparent gifs are still messed up on PicassoII gfx boards not running
CyberGfx *
Proxy authentication is abit broken *
Possible problems with disk cache and 060's *
Some gifanims looks abit strange *
Bugs marked with * will be fixed asap and put into a R8b release
Old changes:
-s- partially works now. The image size is used, but the image
is not scaled if that is needed. Anyway, this reduces lots of flicker on some pages.
-s- Fixed Transparent gifs problems on native AGA/ECS screens
-s- Fixed problems with
