OWB 3.27

Posted on: 2010/5/7 21:53 #1

Home away from home

A new version is availible

Quote:

History:
3.27 (7.5.2010)
- Updated to SVN revision 1446.
- Updated libcurl (7.20.1), libcairo (1.8.10), libpixman (0.18.0),
libxslt (1.1.26) and libxml2 (2.7.7).
- Disabled SVG support in OWB and rarely used charsets in ICU, that way
OWB needs about 8 MB less RAM which should help a little on systems
with very few RAM like classic Amigas.
- Fixed some of the memory leaks in the new OWB revision.
- Fixed bugs.os4depot.net issues #87, #167, #168, #171, #293, #306,
#323, #324, #361, #399, #420, #430, #443, #445, #447, #454, #455,
#459, #460, #463, #464 and #467.
- Added undo and redo edit menu items.

3.26 (28.4.2010)
- Fixed another libpthread.a problem on AmigaOS 4.0.

Anything that uses Cairo functions which have been hardware accelerated will automatically get hardware acceleration.

Well, I'm very disappointed with the dropped support for SVG:
I use it in my everyday routine.

Please, release both versions, with and without!

Agree 100%, we need SVG

Personally I prefer to have again also:

* Loading bar on bottom
* Copy&Paste with the mouse into the searchbar

Wrong, only software using the AmigaOS bitmap surfaces can get hardware acceleration. And of course only software which uses the AmigaOS 4.1 libcairo.so at all, OWB doesn't.

As written in the changelog to save RAM, it's a feature next to nobody needs.

An option to disable SVG would be completely pointless since the SVG code would still be in the much larger OWB executable.

Keep an old version of OWB for the very rare cases for which you need it, or wait until TimberWolf is released and use that instead for pages which need SVG.

Thanks for this new release !

Regarding SVG, I don't even know what it is

Regarding the loading bar, I prefer the way it is now (the old way had a bug causing the window to change its size without any reason).

Regarding Cairo, er, does OWB use it or no then ?

It's using Cairo, but a statically linked version I built myself, not the AmigaOS 4.1 shared object libcairo.so version with hardware acceleration.

Shared objects only work since AmigaOS 4.1 Update 1. Since OWB should work even on AmigaOS 4.0 I can't use them in OWB.

I think that the charsets you disabled have broken greek text support, try www.in.gr for example, it's all unreadable now. I copied the older one from 3.25 and I'm working ok now, but maybe you should check it out again, maybe you removed something that you didn't intend to.

Thanks very much for the continued update and support of this much needed and excellent program for Amiga.

Well how about compling two different release, one without SVG for slower machines and the other one with SVG enabled ?

AFAIK this was the Fab's approach when he release two different version with or without SVG, one for Efika and the other one for all the other MorphOS solution

Is it possible to add SVG support in separate file and only if enabled to load it?
This way both camps (SVG and non-SVG) will be happy. And the SVG enabling people will know the real cost of enabling SVG (less free RAM).
