I didn't find instructions what to put into .netrc file and couldn't make it to work. Is that word "machine" required like in the example line ? Are those empty spaces tabs or spaces between "login" and "password" words ?
I don't know if I have some other problems with my computer right now but now it takes really long time to close tabs and OWB itself sometimes.

About the scroll thing, it's about sites using background-attachment: fixed attribute/value.
This kind of site is normally very slow, because everything has to be rendered again, even if you just scroll 1 pixel. This option from WebKit just ignores this attribute, and was originally introduced for slow/mobile computers.
As for the wait+100%cpu at tab closing, i assume it happens while there's still network activity ? If so, it would indicate that this new threaded resolver implementation kind of busy loops when signaled to abort, which is really not something one wants.
I wish the curl source was released. When I tried compiling it with a threaded resolver, it caused all sorts of problems crashing when it tried using pthreads.
Edit: Looking at the news story thread, modfr is having the same issue, and kas1e and Chris backs it up. So yeah. Problem isn't solved.
Can someone who has the 3.31 archive, upload it and post the link? I never downloaded it and stayed with 3.30, but I might as well get 3.31
Related to curl: when we will manage to fix curl normally (adding threading resolver which will not based on phtreads and fixing file.c to make URI works with amiga pathes), then i will upload it to os4depot for sure.
Sources of that version which use Joerg for now will not help for other developers much (until if he will fix that bugs and get rid off from pthread usage ,if not already). But if it will fixed and bug-free, sure will be cool to have one (to avoid working on the same).

Actually I didn't try it (and I daren't now), but the crashlog modfr posted looks identical to the ones I was getting with your threaded DNS libcurl.
Its a bit odd that some people are fine and others are getting problems. IIRC the threaded DNS didn't crash consistently, so the people who are OK may just not have hit the problem yet.
The info that Roadshow has been updated is very interesting, and I look forward to retesting the threaded resolver once that is finally released. I daresay kas1e has a point about pthreads too, although I'm doubtful that would cause bsdsocket.library to crash.
@djrikki You shouldn't need to close OWB, just close & re-open the Bookmark window... (The Bookmark window is bound to the tab you were looking at when you opened it, and so when you destroy that tab it can't do anything. Wish it behaved more sensibly though.)
had to punt on this release as well. the two biggest issues for me were the odd window redrawing behavior -- if i resize the window, the window itself resizes, but the browser contents remain in the previous position like some odd frame setup -- and quitting the tool takes nearly 30 seconds.
is joerg accepting bug reports any more? if he's still planning on making the odd bug-fix, i'd like to make certain i provide useful feedback.
