AWeb is now 3.5.08 =)
CHANGES FROM 3.5.07 to 3.5.08
AMISSL AWeb now supports the new amissl.library version 3. Support for older versions has been dropped. Amissl version 3 is more secure, faster, easier to install. Amissl comes as part of OS4 from update 4 and is available for m68k systems from http://www.heightanxiety.com/AmiSSL/ .
ALPHA BLENDING FOR awebpng.awebplugin. The png plugin now supports alpha blending / alpha channel support on screen depths greater than 8bits, for AmigaOS 4.0 and Morphos versions. The Amiga OS 4 version uses the libablit written by Jürgen Schober.
ETAG
AWeb now supports the etag tecnique for cache validation.
OS4 MEMORY SYSTEM
The main executable has been adapted to abide by the new OS4 memory rules, the awebplugins and aweblibs still misbehave.
GENERAL BUGFIXES
Many bug fixes dramatically increasing stabilty (touch wood).
Has anything been done to support more HTML and Javascript stuff? It seems everything new in every version is about program features and bug fixes rather than improving the web experience.. Or am I wrong?

You are wrong
There have been http extentions (which are as important as html), there have been html related "tweaks", but really AWeb html support is near fully compliant html 4.01 with most "standard non standard" extensions. At least one common xhtml habit using /> to create a self closing tag has implemented (more important than you might think, that one).
I and some of the AWeb beta testers are currently running AWeb with a near complient javascript 1.5 / ecma 262-3, but this is not stable enough to infict on the general public yet.

Btw have you done anything about the usability while browsing? URL completion, TAB's, "normal browser" browser icon layout etc..
AWebs navigation bar layout has been configuarable sinec a couple of versions ago. The default remains the one you dislike as this works best if space is limited. Goto gui settings and play arround.
