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

IBrowse 2.5.5 is now available for download (OS4 users may use AmiUpdate
instead). This is a maintenance release with an important fix for a crash
bug introduced in 2.5.4, along with performance improvements, the addition
of third-party cookie blocking and a few other fixes. The full list of
changes follows:

- Updated Danish, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Spanish and Swedish catalog
  translations, by Niels Bache, Samir Hawamdeh, Kolbjørn Barmen,
  Mariusz Danilewicz, Javier de las Rivas and Pär Boberg respectively
- Tweaked the installer to work around the broken Version command in
  A-EON's Enhancer Software
- OS4: Fixed truncated multipart form submission, when any file upload
  elements were left blank (e.g. Gmail)
- Fixed problems with the accept/reject from this server buttons not
  always working correctly in cookie action requesters
- Added third-party and first-party cookie types to the information shown
  in cookie action requesters
- Added AmigaOS 3.2 detection
- Third-party cookies now detected and can be blocked using the security
  and/or URL prefs settings
- Resumed downloads in the download manager didn't show the size, but now
  show the total expected complete size
- Fixed corruption of auto resumed incomplete HTTP gzip encoded
  downloaded files
- Fixed <embed> objects causing crashes, due to the previous changes in
  the <iframe> code
- Improved parsing speed of huge inline JavaScript sections
- Don't bother to copy inline JavaScript into a buffer, if JavaScript is
  disabled, improving performance
- Tweaked puddle size of one of the main memory pools, to improve
  performance

This is the fifth free update for registered users of IBrowse 2.5.
