Hello, This is sort of related to Voyager in that it represents the situation with one of the main competitors! Anyway, I found this on the HiSoft Web Site:- ***START OF TEXT INSERT*** Taller than the tallest building, faster than the fastest plane, it's not just a rumour, it's... (may the power of two be with you) Since Easter we have been SWAMPED, not merely swamped but bigtime SWAMPED, with enquiries about iBrowse 2. Yup, OK, it's our own fault, some Bright Spark (who shall remain nameless but answers to the word "boss") insisted on emailing our ever so slightly massive iBrowse announcements list just before Easter with the news that iBrowse 2 was imminent. Ahem. Not to put too fine a point on it, but this wasn't entirely true. Notwithstanding the fact that Stefan (the author) put the entire project on hold while he stood in line for a week to see the first midnight showing of Star Wars Episode 1, iBrowse 2 is currently still in beta test (build version 20.22 if anyone is interested). And there is a lot to test (take a big breath): full JavaScript 1.2 implementation, HTML 4 support, improved GUI, improved preferences, the cache system has been rewritten (it's now even faster and even easier to use), the table parser has been rewritten (it's now lots faster), spoofing has been implemented, there's external news client support, an improved URL completer, multiple browsers can be opened in one window (controlled by a nifty tab system) plus, of course, plug-in support. And those are just the highlights! Testing is going well and iBrowse 2 is very, very close to being released. We know you are going to love it and as soon as we've ironed out the few remaining glitches we'll be mailing everyone on the iBrowse announcements list with a special pre-release upgrade deal - if you're not already on the list, you can sign-up to it on the FAQ page. In the meantime, here's a screenshot of one of the new preferences panels. This new panel implements something that thousands of you asked for, the ability to set how iBrowse displays individual websites. For example, you can enable GIF animations for some sites and disable them for others. taller than the tallest building, faster than the fastest plane, it's not just a rumour, it's... (may the power of two be with you) ***END OF TEXT INSERT*** Basically, I am a registered user of both Voyager 2.95 and IBrowse 1.22 and will upgrade to whichever JavaScript 1.2 capable browser comes out first. Cancel that holiday and get to it Olli ;-) (only joking.... I'm sure you and your wife deserve a break) -- Ciao 8-) name: Simon J.
