I am happy that OWB finally works. Hopefully there will once be OS4.1 for Classic - it is inacceptable to have the CPU at 90% load while writing this post.

Just two days ago I turned it on again, did install some Updates and saw that there was OWB 2.8 out now (even 2.9 by now, but this version needs Cairo). OWB 2.8 claims that it would not any longer make use of the core fonts but uses the amigaOS'es internal font engine.

But still the problem remains: OWB comes up, loads its default home page amigans.net, but it does not display any text at all.

What could that be?

would you at least consider making a last cairo-less version of OWB with working downloads and , maybe , bookmarks?

So, will you still update OWB for us classic OS4 users who may never see Cairo implemeted?

Here it doesn't work and same problem with the previous one.. if i run it from shell i got a font problem, it tell me " Verdana Font " not found.. maybe is this ?

it doesn' load anything and i cannot close the window.. it load a little bit and then hang up..

I have an issue where by no text is visable in owb. I've just reinstalled OS4.1 (boot from CD full install not upgrade) and the problem is present with OWB in sys:utilities and the 2.9 archive. Could this be a font problem ?

So (methinks) it would be clearer to state that the whole OWB needs os4.1, not cairo only.

Will it test for 4.1 presence and fallback to sdl under 4.0 or should I wait for my copy to arrive? (Itailan post is slow )

Jorg, what's the advantage of using cairo in OWB now?

Maybe speed

Could you add a version number in the OWB window(s) and an About menu with the version string. I have sometime 2 or 3 version running here and it is not simple to know what is what after a while.

Also, do you plan to add authentification one day?

Ah, I see. Will that also at some point be used for displaying the link under the mouse (like most browsers do at the bottom)?

I work for the Danish newspaper Fyens Stiftstidende and we recently redesigned our website... OWB have some trouble with displaying it.

Anyone smarter than me that can tell me why?

Joerg please fix the graphical missing feedback of the copy process into clipboard: when you press Ar+C on a marked text if all it was copied marked text should becomes unmarked.

There isn't an undo function (Ar+Z),

When you iconify OWB, when you deiconify it, its window dimentions are the same of when OWB has started...it should remeber latest windows dimentions....

Ok, I just downloaded the Full 52.6 and July 07 updates from Hyperion?s site again. I then installed them on my A1 on a new hard drive. Once I completed that process I started in on the OWB install. This time I took it real slow and triple checked my work only to be met with the same ELF library error.

@joerg

Did you intend the alt= HTML tag ?

Question: The change log says: "Implemented statusbar text." What exactly does this mean? Which one is the status bar, and which text is supposed to be visible in it, and when? I don't see anything here that looks like a statusbar text, but maybe I haven't understood correctly what to look for.

OWB renders very close to the Nokia N70 browser. Using the same engine?

Absolutely agree, and I was going to suggest the same thing. Unfortunately I don't think I can read 32-bit pointer imagery (SDK too old as usual - that's really bugging me now),

I would therefore suggest two versions of each, however one should be 32-bit and the other should be old-style four-colour (probably in pointer prefs format), which I trust old gfx cards can cope with even if they down-convert to monochrome themselves.

For completeness the full list is:

Blank, Point, Caret, Menu, Up, Down, Left, Right, RightUp, LeftDown, LeftUp, RightDown, Cross, Move, Help, NoDrop, NotAllowed, Progress, Wait (never used - selects OS default busy pointer), Default (never used - selects OS default pointer).
