sweet.

@HammerD

Mutch more stable, sadly I can't get FaceBook 100% working, for example I can't reply at private mail :-/

Nice release

Great! but we need AmigaOS 4.1.1 to fully utilize OWB3.20

Hope it will not last too long

thx joerg!

@mr2

These things can give an indication that it's just around the corner. Usually sw requiring new os components get released around the time updates are ready. This gives hope that christmas is coming early this year

Thanks Joerg.

Thanks for fixing my bugs. Now i can upload stuff on sprend again and pictures on facebook. Only thing i dont like with OWB is that after some time of usage it gets stuck on facebook. Like its loading something but doesnt finish. So i have to quit and rerun. Its like it waits for something and because of that all other pages is blocked waiting for facebook to finish loading.

I hope its less crashy then previous version. Time will tell.

Thanks again.

@Kicko
I believe that the crashes depend a lot on the website you are visiting.
I've been using 3.19 from 3 days and no crahes at all (rock solid) while I see that those who complain, being the same people, probably can't live without websites that OWB finds somewhat problematic (yes, I hate FaceBook ).

To make an example here is a non-comprehensive list of sites I visited again and again these days (aside from Amigans and AW of course):

Gmail
AnandTech
Arstechnica
IGN (slow but works fine)
Google maps (slow but works fine)
Playasia
NCSX
The-magicbox
Amazon

I'm actually amazed at how correctly it renders the pages (IGN was particularly amazing, I thought it was not browsable at all, but it works fine and speed is bearable).

Thanks again Joerg

@joerg

Here I cant see the curosr...
And also the highlight of the selected items...

Anyone got the same problem???

Posting with OWB 3.20 right now. No further issues with Google search. I can go back to the search list just fine with no crashes.

Nice extra features in the menu.

Thanks Joerg.

@Kicko

I have exactly the same problem

it's strange to have a program which works with an os that does not exist!
amiga is ahead of time again

@DAX

I never get crashes on facebook but on some others yes. Time will tell how 3.20 will behave :)

@Tuxedo

Sometimes I have this problem too, just tried OS4Depot bug tracker and it seems that cursor are disappear on form elements

@joerg

Thanks joerg

@Kicko
I'm sure there must be problems somewhere, but I must be lucky
Sometimes people which had a positive experience is also needed, before starting browsing with OWB (3.19 being my first version) I heard all kind of problems, and I thought browsing on this thing would be hell, instead to my greatest amazement it works like a charm (even the crashes with Google search/back button, I get none here after 4 days I'm still wondering what should be wrong with this browser, it just Rocks! ). Must be the websites I visit.

As a matter of fact I don't feel compelled to upgrade and I'm still using 3.19 (if I get into trouble eventually, I will download the update then).

@DAX

When upgrading OWB, I always delete the entire previous installation, including the cookie database. My experience with OWB is similar to yours. I did have crashes with Google search but this is now fixed as of 3.20. Thanks Joerg, another small donation from me will follow soonish

@DAX
I always keep a copy of the previous OWB installation(s), in case I later discover problems. OWB updates usually add some "essential" new features, but can sometimes also break stuff.

Anyway, glad to hear it's working well for you!

BTW, with additional of menu option for opening local files, it now seems that OWB finally opens local files reliable when using OpenURL.

With this new version, the search page for tagged.com work fine.

previously, the search start (horizontal bar black'n'white moving - but nothing else) and now search result work fine and some members page also.

http://www.tagged.com/browse.html

- If you test this page, the country choose is strange. Maybe a problem with lots of countries menu entries.

Also a OWB problem: If I open another tabs for checking tagged, and came back to this page for completing my answer, cursor not work (mean impossible to continue to post). Removing the tabs and work fine again.
