[ib-announce] IBrowse 2.5.2 + AmiSSL 4.4 Released

• Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ]

IBrowse 2.5.2 and AmiSSL 4.4 are now available for
download from http://www.ibrowse-dev.net/ (OS4 users
can also upgrade using AmiUpdate). This update is
primarily to accompany, and to allow IBrowse users to
benefit from, today's release of AmiSSL 4.4. Normally,
existing versions of IBrowse 2.5 will automatically
use new releases of AmiSSL v4, without IBrowse needed
to be modified, but on this occasion a rebuild was
necessary.

This is a free update for registered users of IBrowse 2.5.
IBrowse 2.4 and 1.x users can upgrade to IBrowse 2.5.2
via our store at discounted rates.

We hope to have addressed most of the issues reported
since the release of IBrowse 2.5.1:

- AmiSSL 4.4 now required for HTTPS connections, which
  brings the latest OpenSSL 1.1.1d with improved TLSv1.3
  support, improved performance on 68k (particularly
  68060) and no longer crashes on 68020/030 without FPU

- OS4: AmiUpdate will update installed catalog files

- Attempts to clean the disk cache now correctly ignored
  when the disk cache is completely off, fixing possible
  enforcer hits

- Fixed disk cache from only ever caching small files

- 68k: Fixed enforcer hits in PNG decoder when CyberGraphX
  is not in use

Thanks again have to go to Anthony Hoffman, who personally
repaired Oliver's faulty A1200 motherboard, which
ultimately allowed us to uncover the AmiSSL v4 68060
performance issues. It in turn brought the 68060
optimisations and allowed extensive performance testing of
AmiSSL 4.4 to take place on real 68k hardware (something
which is impossible using emulators).
