Odyssey 1.23 progress: r5 RC2

Coolness!

Excellent work Kas1e :)

@kas1e

Great news:)

@kas1e

Excellent news Kas1e, cant wait to try the new version.

Great news, thanx Kas1e for your work!

In the meantime run OWB through hieronymus

@Elwood
After author of hieronymus will add support for peg2 :)

But that non-need it anyway, webkit guys quite a lot stress it with all kind of stuff (and valgrind included i assume) as well as all those 3d party libs. "amiga" there only mui-gui + some bits

@kas1e
Is the release now possible? New version of Mui4 is out now

@tommysammy
Did you get it via Amiupdate ?

@pseudaxos

I got it via AmiUpdate but it complain for not findint workbench and copied to ram so i installed it from the drawer from install icon.

@pseudaxos

Yes, by Amiupdate.

@Kicko

I just uploaded new archives with a fixed AutoInstall script. I hope it works correctly now. I cannot test this myself right now.

Please report how it is to use the new OWB 1.23. I can´t test the Browser now because my SAM is for repair in Italy. The repair is done, now Enrico test if it´s O.K.

WOW, thank you, I can't wait to get out of work!

@kas1e

It working really well, this really excellent work Fab and Ka1e, your the best.

All in all Odyssey 1.23 is great, only problems I can find are minor ones.

1) SHIFT+HOME doesn't select all text in the address bar so I have to keep using the mouse.

2) View/Status and other options above, the state of these checkmarks are never auto-saved/remembered. Its frustrating to see it keep re-appearing (them ghastly colours) + should be hidden by default.

3) The new Web Inspector button in the top toolbar can clearly seen to be 2 pixels small in height + should be using 'info' in AISS/TBImages.

4) When only one tab is open I wish Odyssey/MUI did not extend the width of it across the whole window it looks very unsightly.

5) When iconified a regular MUI 'window' appears as an icon. I believe this is called an 'AppIcon'? Clearly this needs to be replaced with the Odyssey logo. Which raises the question - 'What is the official logo for Odyssey?' The blue one or the compass?

7) Digging deeper.. if you type 'about:' in address bar and press enter the program information is out of date.

8) From a web developer POV... selecting to view the source code of a page... it takes a long time for the actual source code to appear. I can assume that the syntax highlighting needs optimizing further.

9) Topsites:// wow really like this.. reminds me of Opera in some ways. However, in Grid mode, the contents of the 'page' need to be centred horizontally. In Coverflow mode the contents of the 'page' are centred (great), but is there any chance that the middle image (the one selected) can be made any larger? This could be fixed by introduced a new resolution to pick from in the drop-down menu.

10) Finally, now that videos work. Do you know whether Odyssey respects the ScreenBlanker engine? i.e. if watching a long video the screenblanker should not appear.

So yeah very minor things so far.. apart from no.1.

So congratulations to all involved :)

I realise that not all of the above apply exclusively to the AmigaOS port - now I am off to read kas1e's reply.
