Release notes for IBrowse 1.1

Welcome to IBrowse1.1, a state of the art webbrowser for our favourite computer! With this version of IBrowse you are finally able to navigate on the increasing number of 'Netscape enhanced pages with frames'. For those of you who don't like frames at all, a preferences option is available to turn of frames.

The Floyd-Steinberg dithering is default turned off. If you want to use it, please enter preferences General/HTML Display. If you have less then 16 colors, it might be a good idea to select the 'Don't dither backgrounds' to avoid that the dithered background will distort the text.

Remaining bugs

Althought alot of work has been put into this release, some bugs were not yet fixed:

Scrollbars sometimes stops working.
td % widths not supported.
Some gifanims looks strange.
IBrowse1.1 is not fully localized.

These bugs will be fixed asap in a free upgrade.
