[ib-announce] IBrowse 2.5.8 released

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

Happy Christmas to all our loyal IBrowse users and thank you for the
continued support. In 2023, we hope to share some exciting plans for
the future of IBrowse. In the meantime, we are pleased to announce
the immediate availability of IBrowse 2.5.8. This is the eighth free
update for registered owners of IBrowse 2.5. IBrowse 2.1-2.4 and 1.x
owners may upgrade to IBrowse 2.5.8 via our store at discounted
rates.

Please note: IBrowse 2.5.8 requires AmiSSL 5.5 as a minimum, with
AmiSSL 5.6 being the latest version at the time of writing, so you
are advised to download it before updating IBrowse, otherwise you
will be left without HTTPS access.

Both IBrowse 2.5.8 and AmiSSL 5.6 may be downloaded via our website
at http://www.ibrowse-dev.net or with AmiUpdate. AmiSSL 5.6 is also
available from Aminet.

Due to the bugs that unfortunately crept into the initial 2.5.7
release (although these were quickly resolved with hotfixes) we
decided to make a full new stable release. This release contains
the previous hotfixes, plus a few more fixes and improvements:

- Unescape the URL before showing it in the popup bubble when the
  mouse is over links
- Fixed crash that occurs if the info window failed to allocate
  memory when updating the URL
- Fixed crash that can happen when specifying a non-existent
  filename on the command line when starting from the shell
- OS4: Reversed the protocol and codec modules file lock change in
  25.108, unless at least elf.library 53.35 is detected, due to a
  relocation issue in older versions
- Fixed Gemini support which stopped working in 25.108
- Include updated Greek catalogs from Aminet

See http://www.ibrowse-dev.net/2.5/history.php for the full unedited
list of changes.
