• The smiley (error report) will now smile if the page is OK.
• Now, there's a "favorites toolbar" available in the browser window (can be switched off). The content of a certain folder in the hotlist is used for the favorites toolbar. To configure which folder has to be used please do the following. Open the hotlist window, move the mouse over the desired folder, open the contextual menu (Control-click) and choose "Use for favorite toolbar". All modifications in this folder will also affect the favorites toolbar. To add new entries to the toolbar you can also drag files/URLs onto the toolbar.
• When saving a file (menu "Save as") iCab sets the URL of the file in the comment field (Finder: "Get Information").
• There's a separate toolbar for standard links (<LINK> tags) available (can be switched off).
• Triple-click in one of the text/url input fields selects the whole content.
• iCab does now run even without QuickTime beeing installed.
• The most important entries of the contextual menu of the browser window can now be accessed also in the root level of the contextual menu.
• iCab shortens file/folder names in URLs (that use the "file:" scheme) which are longer than 31 characters if needed. This way the docs of the Java classes can be accessed without problems.
Some important Bugfixes:
• many workarounds for false/incorrect HTML code implemented.
• Some bugfixes in Java support (MRJ).
• Many workarounds for incorrect programmed web servers and CGI scripts implemented.
• Bug in forms with "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" fixed (e.g. http://til.info.apple.com)
• If transparent GIF animations were located outside the visible area of the document when loading the page the background of these images was always white.
• Some bugs of IE and Netscape are "simulated" now, in order to display some web sites "correctly".
• HTML forms with multiple submit buttons were not handled properly.
• iCab releases all displayed files imediately, so parallel running applications are able to modify these files (important for "automatic update").
• Alias files should be correctly resolved now.
• many other small bugfixes.

Some important Bugfixes:
• Sending HTML forms didn't work in some cases (usually this was because of false HTML code, sometimes because of incorrect behaviour of web servers).
• Sometimes, importing web archives of Internet Explorer produced incomplete files.
• Importing NC bookmarks or IE favorites failed if iCab found only an alias file.
• If a folder (as the very last entry) in the hotlist was opened, the whole content was hidden.
• Mac based FTP servers (e.g. ftp.pandasoft.de) should work now.
• Workarounds for HTTP server which are not conforming to the HTTP specifications.
• Some bugs in then HTML parser fixed.
• Workarounds for false HTML code in web pages implemented, so that the output looks more like IE or NC in theses cases.
• When reading the proxy information from InternetConfig iCab only searched for the port after a colon that follows the server name. Now iCab also searches for the port after a space character.
• Authorisation didn't work.
• iCab didn't pass menu selections for Java applets to the right applet.
