What's New in 2.0
Corel Web Mosaic 2.0 is built on an open, standards-based architecture.
This makes Corel Web Mosaic adaptable to the various requirements of
network publishing and commerce. Key aspects of the new architecture
and a rundown of new features are listed below.

Mosaic's open security framework allows for plug-in security
modules. Basic Authentication, Digest Authentication, and First Virtual modules
come pre-installed.

Software Development Interface (SDI)
This two-way
application programming interface allows other applications to
seamlessly interoperate with Mosaic.

multiple windows during download. Text is immediately displayed,
allowing you to follow links before the downloads are complete.

In addition to GIF images, inline JPEG images are now supported.
- Built-in GIF and JPEG Viewers

easier with an easy-to-use dialog.
