NetSurf 3.11 has been released!

Hi,

Just noticed on amiga-news.de that a new version (3.11) of NetSurf has been released .

https://www.netsurf-browser.org/downloads/amiga/

The changelog is here.

Had a lot of use for NetSurf on the Sam Flex. Was quite fast, but also compatible with many websites. Looking forward to try the new version!

Posting this post using NetSurf 3.11 ...

Seems to work fine on the websites I regularly visit,
Amiga.org, Amigaworld.net, Amigans.net, amiga-news.de,
and CBC Lite News website.

Thanks to all involved with this release.

I tried to run it but it ask me for the newlib.library... I looked for it on os4depot.net but I didn't find it...

Update ...

Unfortunately, I can't logout of the Amigans website.

I can't see the user menu.

I think this was the same on NetSurf 3.10

Zzzzz

@nubechecorre

newlib comes with OS4. Maybe make sure your OS is fully up-to-date?

@redfox

That's because dynamic layout updates don't work yet, so the drop-down menus don't show up. Why would you want to log out anyway? 😉

@nubechecorre

You should have newlib.library.kmod in your Kickstart, it is part of the basic OS4 system.

If it's not there, something very wrong has happened to your installation.

Edit: Maybe you are missing the latest version of newlib, which was released after Update2? Don't know if NetSurf requires that for some reason. If so, AmiUpdate is your friend.

Best regards,

Niels

@nubechecorre

Latest OS4.1 update comes with newlib.library 53.62, but probably NetSurf now require latest 53.80 ... as other says just search it from AmiUpdate

Testing Netsurf 3.11 I'll get "Couldn't resolve host name" only. What could be wrong ? (I used Odyssey to download it on the same machine just fine.)

@TSK

Then you do not seem to be online...
In previous test build versions, https websites could not be accessed. But this works now.

@all

thanks maybe is something related to AmiUpdate as for some strange reason it broke to me a very long time ago.. for some unknown reason after an AmiUpdate the catalog was broken and with it also the program stop working as it should... so no idea how to fix it..

I had a similar problem with AmiUpdate a long time ago. The catalog file was broken for whatever reason and it led to an incorrect translation, the buttons in the translation were swapped.

I solved the problem by reinstalling the catalog file, you can find it on www.os4depot.net. Install the catalog file manually or use the AutoInstall script via the shell. That helped me.

Otherwise check whether newlib.library.kmod in SYS:Kickstart is in version 53.80.

@TSK

I get same problem:
Error occurred fetching page
An error occurred when connecting to amigans.net
Couldn't resolve host name

Reverting to 5442 no problem, but using NetSurf-gcc-6506.lha or newer gave me same (above) problem.

NOTE: in download netseruf test builds (https://ci.netsurf-browser.org/builds/amiga/), archive 5442 and then 6506 those inbetween versions they arent' listed.

@TSK

I have the same problem here on my X1000.

I also have the same issue on my X5000 system. The latest working build for me is NetSurf-gcc-5442.lha

@all

I'm not sure what they're using, but it's not the official release 3.11 of Netsurf which you can get from here:

https://ci.netsurf-browser.org/builds/amiga/release/

It works well with Amigans and I was also able to log in with my account.

@walkero

I can confirm the same inability to establish any connections with NetSurf on my X5000 and A1222, despite being able to use Odyssey and other Internet tools just fine.

@Maijestro

I tried installing NetSurf from your link on my XE, but I get the same problem as on my X1000.

Strange....I had always installed test builds before the official release 3.11 and later installed the original release on top of it and it works for me.

Maybe it has something to do with that.

Edit: Maybe Netsurf needs the latest current version of AmiSSL? I completely deleted NetSurf from my system and reinstalled it using the link I posted above and it still works.

@all

I have no issues connecting to Amigans.net with NetSurf 3.11.

My system is a MicroA1 with AmigaOS 4.1 FE Update 2 Hotfix.

My last version of NetSurf was NetSurf 3.10. I have not installed any of the test builds between 3.10 and 3.11.

I created a new drawer for NetSurf 3.11 and installed NetSurf 3.11 into that new drawer and then copied over my Choices file and Hotlist file from my old NetSurf 3.10 drawer to my NetSurf 3.11 drawer. I also renamed my old NetSurf 3.10 drawer so it would not interfere with the new version.

Ok, tried it after booting from my regular, non-beta partition and it works fine except for a warning about needing the guigfx.library to do certain things. So it looks like there may be problems with the next release of OS4.1
