Odyssey 1.23 progress: r5 RC2

Bravo again on the work. I just downloaded v6 and will test. They are coming so fast that I didn't even get to testdrive v5. :)

Happy to test that new version :) atm seems ok!

Just I'm here I've a question...recently my bank have updated his website and now it complains to me that my browser havent TLS protection secuiry we have any chanche to get that on OWB soon?

@BSzili

I have WebKit contacted. But in my opinion it make no sense that user contact other developers. What I can ask? I can put only simple question. For me is very strange that no Amiga developer have asked WebKit about support for 3 years.
I think you have right, we should ask someone from Linux PPC community, but isn't it better when questions come from Amiga developer?
We have problem that nobody cares about Odyssey... We don't have one team to lead this project, so no one knows who should ask question or try to get support from others platforms. We should have leader to manage such big application. Or I'm wrong?

@radzik
That's something, but since the WebKit team no longer supports big endian platform, the chances of that achieving anything was slim.
This is a problem that affects the users the most. It's in their best interest to band together, organize, and try to find someone who is willing to do the job. Just waiting and expecting someone to do it for them will lead nowhere.

@BSzili

+1... and no excuses please: nobody borns with a C compiler or coding skills. Everybody can learn.

@all
v7: https://www.sendspace.com/file/02uo1w

Backported that: https://github.com/deadwood-pl/Odyssey ... 5acdafe4b5815db3a3e6ba288

Which mean, that probabaly login to blogger.com, youtube.com, etc works again.

@Capehill
While that's true to some degree, that's not what I meant. They have to find programmers and ask them whether they are interested in fixing JavaScriptCore to work on big endian platforms again. This only requires no programming skill, just free time. I'll stop offing this thread, I've ranted long enough :)

@BSzili

If you say there's no need in programming skills, what exactly had to be done?

I think we should have a lot of users who want to help and have free time.

Thanks for all the updates. I haven't been responding here, but I've used 3,4,6, and 7 with good results. The only glitch I've had was one time with 6 getting the "child process" window when exiting, with an "Acknowledge" button to click it away. This response is being done with revision 7.

May I ask, what's the best option for spoofing in Odyssey?

@JTKiri

Well... I suppose you can ask...

@JTKirk

Sorry, couldn't resist

There is no best option for spoofing, because of M$ tryingto dominate the browser wars of the last 20 years or so by introducing stuff that only really worked properly in ie and crApple doing the same with safari etc. then add mobiles, tablets and chrome into the mix and you will find most sites go for the custom code for each type instead of spending a bit more time and creating something that will work with everything ie, sticking to the standards which the big browser developers try to keep as far away from as possible.

All you can do is try them all then when you find which works best enter it in the url preferences window and don't forget to set the menu option back to default or the url prefs will be ignored.

@Severin

Ok, thanks.

PS: Next time I'll not be so polite...

Spoofing is less and less useful. Just the price tag from unreached audiences should guarantee it.

bravo, kas1e .

i hope this fixes the memory hole problem that i have had on 1.23 (2013) .

will try now and let you know.

big thanks for working on it again.

PS:donation will come soon.

Was ages ago i could login to youtube with my x1000. Thanks Kas1e and deadwood. Small amount sent to deadwood and later on some for you Kas1e. First get a desktop pc end of the month (dont kill me)

@kas1e

Can you upload images on this site: http://postimage.org/

?

In the past it always worked on OWB 1,23, but since some time it doesn't...
Actually i'm using the r7 but it's the same even on the old versions of OWB ...
