• New integrated Search Bar, allowing you to easily perform searches of your favourite sites. Search engines can be added manually or automatically via the Mycroft project site



• The Status Bar has been overhauled to optionally provide the status of IBrowse graphically. Due to requiring less space than text, this has allowed us to show additional statuses such as when Javascript is being processed



• Plugin API system for embedded objects based on the v4 NPAPI (Netscape Plugin API) to allow for easier porting of NS compatible plugins, this is used to allow IBrowse to display embedded objects (such as flash animations) within the browser when a suitable plugin is available.



• Support for AmiSSLv3 has been added to IBrowse 2.4, allowing the use of the most up to date SSL implementation available for AmigaOS.



• Context sensitive mouse pointers have been added, providing different mouse pointers in different areas of IBrowse.



• Background tab loading has finally been added to the Browser Tabs. Links can be opened in new browsers which remain inactive, allowing you to continue browsing the original page uninterrupted.



• The spoofing engine has been totally re-written for 2.4, and provides a range of pre-defined spoofing options.



• The JavaScript engine has been improved yet further providing support for more event handlers, and improved DOM support, along with some significant speed increases in certain areas. It now supports the complete JavaScript 1.6 extension, as found in Firefox 2.0, along with the majority of JavaScript 1.5 and the revision 3 of the ECMAScript (ECMA-262) specification.



• HTTP compressed content support has been added, which includes both gzip and deflate algorithms.



• On websites which ask for a username and password in a HTML based form, IBrowse can now (optionally) save these details for future visits.



• Web Advert Control Language (WACL) is a feature of IBrowse based on a proposal by Stefan Stuntz for a user configurable, flexible scripting language to control the display of adverts on webpages.



• Improved general stability and memory leaks plugged.



• Hundreds of other minor and major bug fixes + improvements, and increased tolerance of broken sites for better compatibility.

That did it! Thanks!!!

Happiness!!!

The display issues in Kingdom of Loathing are gone too!!!

Ya!

I can definitely notice the improvements. These forums work better with IB2.4 and the javascript @ theweathernetwork.com no longer brings up a continue/abort requester. I eargerly await the flash plugin which I've been told will be available sometime tonight or tomorrow.

More to test what it can and not.

Excellent. Works really well on my Classic and A1's. Congratulations to the IBrowse team. As a registered user I was able to obtain a free download of the 2.4 update. However, since I'm using it on several machines, and have not had to pay for any updates since 2000 I believe I should make some sort of payment.

Do the IBrowse team accept donations or better still will an official disk version be available to buy?

Merry Xmas

Question, which OS are you running 3.9? I am not able to get the javascript.lib to run

I was wondering the same thing. I have not make the download yet. Perhaps there is a Donate button on their site.

I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

Congrats on releasing it!

@Trevor

You can always buy another 'full version' or upgrade version, presumably they get some $ from that?

How do I use truetype font in this version of IBrowse supporting special charset?

IB 2.4 is working great here!!

Thanks to everyone who made this update possible!!

IBrowse was always my favourite Amiga browser, and i'm truly amazed by the new 2.4 version. And it works very fine on MorphOS too, with native javascript.library. Many thanks for this. I'm even thinking about replacing my pirate keyfile used in the past 7 years with a legal one...

(BTW, 22nd of december is my birthday, so it was a really great birthday gift for me )

I normally use AWeb since it's free, but I must admit I was very impressed by IB2.4 - it's rendering seems much improved over 2.3, and it's JavaScript support is now miles ahead of AWeb. Keep up the good work and you might yet convince me to pick up a copy (even though paying for a browser in 2006 would feel very strange).

@IBrowseTeam

Merry Christmas and Thank You for the BEST Present we ever could get!
Hope Your sells go up but I have this 2,3 keyfile so for free? I will pay for the next release as for 1&2, hope we will see again soon!

My truly Best Regards for You little codekeeping a**holes ( :

"paying for a browser in 2006 would feel very strange"

Nowbody is stopping.

True, but I would like to ensure that most of the funds went to the IBrowse team. I would still like to buy an official IBrowse CD, if one was to be released. I will try to contact IBrowse and check on the situation.

Ome very minor negative comment, the icons are a bit bleh! The first thing I did was to re-select my original icons (Ken's I believe?)

Merry Xmas,

TrevorDick

@IBrowse developers

Thanks so much for this long awaited update of IBrowse, it's working really well and is a great improvement over version 2.3. Even the 'forward-page' and 'back-page' mouse buttons function now, excellent!

MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all

You need to blacklist (no jit) it if you have a keyfile.... IT WORKS OK WITH JIT in lastest OS4 beta.
