IBrowse 2.4 is it dead

[Locutus]

If they are producing beta builds, why don't they just throw them online?

its not like its the 90s any more were distributing binaries was a hassle....

I agree, but I think it's because they're deciding whether or not to charge a fee for downloading it...

I'm absolutely fine with paying for the IBrowse 2.5 - I'm sure a lot of people are fine with paying for it as well.

Some info regarding IBrowse 2.5 from their website:


IBrowse 2.5 is breaking cover... Some of you may be lucky enough to see it being demo'd at the upcoming AmiWest and Amiga32 shows. Obviously we realise not everyone can get to these shows, so we have added a summary of the news here. Screenshots and more details will follow at a later date.

To get the bad news out of the way first, IBrowse 2.5 isn't available yet, and is unlikely to be in 2017. However, we are working hard on finalising things for release, including making keys available for purchase again, to coincide with the 2.5 release. Originally, IBrowse 2.5 was supposed to mainly be the OS4 port of IBrowse 2.4, but obviously many years have since passed and many other changes have been made.

Summary of the new features:
OS4 Native Version Added (OS4.1 Final Edition Required)
AmiSSL v4 Support
MUI 4.0 and 5.0 Support
Alpha Channel Support (OS4)
4Gb+ File/Downloads (OS4)
OpenSearch Support
Summary of the re-written features:
TextEditField Text Editor
Disk Cache Clean Up
Summary of the improved features:
JavaScript Engine
HTML Engine
HTTP Engine
Password Manager
Cookie Support
Various GUI Elements
Internal Image Decoders
Memory Management
Bug Fixes

I like this part:

Is IBrowse 2.5 only available for OS4 ? :: New!
No - the existing 68k OS3 version will continue to be supported also.

IBrowse 2.5 website has been updated and there's even a new subsection - STORE. I look forward to buying IB2.5
