- \ \ / 3 | Voyager 3.3beta120
- \ V / | Beta Release (1.1.2002)
- \_/ | http://v3.vapor.com/
-
- Welcome to V3.3beta120
-
- This is the seventh "beta" version of V3 with the new layout
- engine. It now has approached a somewhat usable state again.
- It's still not compiled with code-optimisation (68k), it
- hasn't been manually optimised yet and it still contains
- tons of debugging code (and, possibly, the associated bugs).
-
- This is a full release archive and contains everything
- needed to run Voyager (except MUI 3.8). Please, do NOT
- install this over an old V 3.2 installation, because
- some of the subsystems are no longer compatible.
-
- The archive contains the "Classic Amiga" 68020+
- build. The native MorphOS build is available in
- a different distribution.
-
- Improvements over the last public beta (3.3.117):
-
- - various bugfixes in JS, Image Decoders
- and the download manager
-
- Notable known deficiencies (not worth reporting):
-
- - list item blocks don't get proper indentation
- (same for BLOCKQUOTE)
- - no printing at all
- - Navigation within frames is, erm, suboptimal
- - JS: function calls across frames don't pass arguments
- - "fullscreen" mode and "single window" mode used together
- have some complicated quirks
- - no SSL support for MorphOS yet
- - VFlash plugin doesn't detect resizes
- - this list doesn't seem to be shrinking with new
- beta versions
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Changes since 3.3.116/117 [sixth public beta]
-
- 3.3.118
- -------
- - JS: when assigning the special value "undefined" to variables,
- an object reference with value "null" was created -- this esspecially
- happened when function calls where made with less parameters than
- the function expected. Now, the variables are properly undefined.
- This fixes comparisions against the string literal "undefined"
- (oh my, webmasters) [www.advance-bank.de] (Olli)
- - Download: now displays the full pathname instead of the file in the download
- listview (Zapek)
- - Imgdecode: added PNG alpha support, MorphOS only and with the latest CGFX
- (Zapek)
- - General: fixed possible crash when window.open() failed due to
- lack of resources (Olli)
- - General: fixed possible crash when a window with dependant subwindows
- was closed (Olli)
- - JS: fixed crash-o-nuke with onChange handlers for certain types
- of popups [www.orb.de, et.al.] (Olli)
- - General: hopefully fixed screwed up cookie dates for the MorphOS build
- (Zapek)
- - General: fixed processing of multiple placeholder into strings like %p, %u,
- etc.. (Zapek)
- - General: <form action="blah.html"> is not merged with the base URL anymore
- on parsing (to be more like Netscape and IE), instead they are now merged
- on submission [www.bootbox.net] (Neko)
- - General: fixed various problems with anchor fragment addressing (Olli)
-
- 3.3.119
- -------
- - Network: main network loop could crash by reusing a already
- freed URL node under certain circumstances... (Olli)
- - Network: fixed a potential problem with the network cache
- low memory handler not working under certain circumstances (Olli)
- - Image decoder: fixed a low memory issue in the image
- decoders, raised version to 19.1 (Olli)
- - General: global speed up of the PPC version (Zapek)
- - Image decoder: fixed a crash issue with images > 2048 pixels.
- Raised version to 19.2 [www.sport1.de] (Olli)
- - JS: fixed several problems with JS variable scoping
- (like differentiating between local and global variables,
- and "leaking" of variables across function contexts), and
- assignments to "undefined" [numerous sites] (Olli)
- - JS: now deals with illegal octal constants (08 etc.)
- like IE, by treating them as decimal (Olli)
- - JS: string.search(), string.replace() and string.match()
- now also accept a plain string as an argument; a temporary
- regexp object is automatically created then (Olli)
- - JS: location.pathname now has the leading "/"; fixes some
- document.location based string trickery on various
- sites [www.speednames.com] (Olli)
- - Layouter: images without SRC no longer throw up a "host not found:
- undefined" error [www.google.co.uk] (Olli)
- - JS: string.replace now functional (JS 1.2 only) (Olli)
- - JS: fixed various problems with instantiating literal regular
- expressions (Olli)
- - Download: now decodes urls containing %20 et al. for saving to disk,
- so File%20With%20Spaces.zip becomes "File With Spaces.zip" (Neko)
- - FTP: now displays filesizes in Kilo-, Mega- and Gigabytes where
- appropriate (Neko)
- - Layouter: fixed tab interpretation for pure text layout (Olli)
-
- 3.3.120
- -------
