thanks for the new beta06! While downloading the beta release (with beta05) the download speed is relatively slow (200 kB/sec) while downloading similar sized files in OS4Depot is way quicker (1000 kB/sec) with my connection. Wondering, could you release these betas to e.g. OS4Depot for greater bandwith, even if these still are betas?

You mean that downloading from my site is slower than from os4depot ? Yes, but is it problem at all ?:) I mean, those betas are for betatesters who can live with such a small issues like how fast or slow they download betas. Actually the browser is important, not where it placed for betatesters (not for plain users), right ?:)

Plan is to make few more betas before os4depot upload. If you for real have issues with slow speed of downloading from my site, and those issues is important enough for you, then better wait os4depot upload which will happens once we migrate to all last 3d party libs and fix some more bugs. Not that soon probably, but at least you can download it not in 5 minutes , but in 10 seconds and then have updated version :)
@All
Anyone who have issues like "betas placed on site which is not as fast as i want" , or "betas placed on the place where i didn't want to go and don't want to remember new site" , or another really "important" issues, better to not use betas at all, but wait os4depot upload. That way only those ones will test beta releases who want to spend their time on and that including living with other issues in process on which there is really no needs to spend our time which can be spend on real issues.
Hi kas1e, Thanks for the latest beta and your work. And the latest spoffing added I don't really know the Odyssey story, having no hardware for amigaos4.1FE and before you started the new work on the new versions it was slow to be used with winUAE. Now he works very well.
I took a look at the Cygwin guide for how to compile the sources for amigaos-ppc, I used it a long time ago for other things.
Are the current sources in the public domain and freely editable? Thanks again for a possible reply.
And on the pedestal these words appear: "I am Ozimandias, King of Kings. Look at my works, O mighty ones, and despair."
Nothing else remains. Around the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and naked, The lonely and level sands stretch far away.
@white I think it's a combination of various licenses, it's definitely not public domain. The WebKit browser engine is a combination of LGPL and BSD...
Thank you for your hard work and all the amigans involved. I`ve been using beta06 for a week now and is really faster than the old 1.23 (just like the other betas, after recompiling & updating the includes). I could not extensively test the player due to CPU limitations (Sam440Flex here), but it reproduces every video nicely (any hints/optimization settings for low CPU power? There was a script time ago, that optimized youtube settings).
I`ve noticed also a 100%CPU usage, when the OWB-Timer subtask runs.
Now a MUI thing maybe : I have Odyssey running on its own MUI screen. When switched to full screen, it stays on its own screen and returning to normal window goes to the Workbench screen automatically. It will not switch back to Odyssey screen even if I choose to do so directly, instead I have to choose WB screen first (the window is already there) and then its own screen.

I run Odyssey on it's own MUI screen as well and don't have this problem. For me it stays on the custom screen. Mabye it an MUI setting? I have my screen setup to be like Workbench.
-- Fixed bug in Cairo library caused skippable DSI on some sites in cairo_clip_intersect_rectangle_box() by adding related patches from the latest version of Cairo. -- Replaced old, statically linked, Pixman library v0.32.4 by newer v0.36.0 from Salas00: https://github.com/salass00/pixman_lib Salas00's version is a real amiga native shared library and has AOS4 native TLS (thread-local storage) implementation, which means that rendering done now not from the same thread, but from different ones => things can be faster. New pixman-1.library coming with release archive in the LIBS directory, so no action needs, all continue to works out of the box. Thanks Salas00! -- Media player: when we in accelerated full-window playback, and mouse cursor over the video, then after 2 seconds of inactivity we hide mouse pointer. Moving mouse or clicking mouse buttons made cursor be visibly again. I.e. mimic usual video-players behavior. -- Media player: when we in accelerated full-window playback, then we disable screen blankers and enable them back once we exit from full-window playback. -- Fixed nasty bug with missing TAG_DONE in the Dtpic object creation. Before it working by pure luck: If the memory following the unterminated tag list contains 'lucky' or invalid tag values then nothing bad happens. But a single 'unlucky' (but valid and possibly dangerous if not used correctly) tag value may cause unpredictable havoc (c) Thore. -- Rewritten DoSuperNew() function to use DoSuperMethodA() directly instead of DoSuperMethod(), as the later internally do call the same DoSuperMethodA(). So we skip that step to make DoSuperNew() be more efficient with less stack space in use. Thanks to Thore for hint and Oliver for explaining. -- Added support for 4th and 5th mouse buttons for stepping backward (4th) and forward (5th) through the browser history. I.e same as in IBrowse. -- Major improvements in spoofing area by Javier: new Spoofing preferences. Together with inbuild (and not editable) default Odyssey's user-agent, you can now add/edit your own ones. You also can choose what user agents you want to show on the menu and which didn't. All the user-agents saves in the 'useragents.prefs' placed in Conf , just like 'userscripts.prefs' or 'searchengines.prefs'. The work which spends on was big, so there can be issues so plz check it carefully and report all bugs and suggestions. Everything localized as well, see bottom of OWB.cd. Thanks Javier!

-- Notification titles are now localized as well, see OWB.cd for MSG_NOTIFY_DL_COMPLETED, MSG_NOTIFY_DL_CANCELLED and MSG_NOTIFY_DL_FAILED (c) Javier. -- Updated Italian catalog by samo79 and new Danish catalog by NBache.
Also, as a usual new and fresh directory is a must ! Pure replacing of binary over old installation will not work, as a new version wants new pixman.library, new .conf file, and co. If you need your old settings work, then: install new beta to a fresh directory, and copy your config files from old-working version one by one. But there you on your own then :)

Very Nice! Is there a way we can donate to Javier for his hard work?
A couple of inputs:
1. When I first installed and ran beta 07, the spoofing was set to an old outdated browser by default. I think it was "Internet Explorer 8". Could this be changed to Odyssey Browser?
2. It would be nice if the selected default or selected spoofing in the preferences were reflected in the spoofing menu. For example, I set Odyssey Web Browser in the preferences but the spoofing menu still shows default settomg as selected instead of Odyssey Web Browser. If this were done then default settings entry could be eliminated from the spoofing menu or changed as I mention in item 3.
3. Is OWB_USER_AGENT environment variable effected by these changes or is it still available to use. If it's available, and item 2 is implemented, then maybe that selection could be changed to "Use Environment Variable". Not to important as with these changes it might not be necessary to use anymore.
@Kas1e, @All Thanks for the new beta 07, and your great work. Thanks also for the "spoffing" function, this helps a lot to try many user-agents Thanks again

I not sure which one he had, so hope he can clear it soon.

Oh damn, that was me setting it as default for tests, and then just added to release archive my changed conf file :( I update it so Odyssey is default as before, and reupload archive on the same place, plz redownload.

To say truth i never understand the current behaviour as well. It's the same unlogical in IBrowse (or i maybe miss the logic behind ?). That should be done as you say, surely, and that how i always expect it to be too , just weren't sure is it me or what :)
I mean, why there at all "deafult setting" entry in spoofing menu, if the same "deafult" are on top :) And now it even can be set in menu. Yes, that "default setting" should gone from menu, and selected default should just reflects in the spoofing menu.

That one do not know, test it plz if it still works. It need to be work anyway, because some ppls use it.

Redownload it plz, as there was some bad default for spoofing mistakenly set. I fixed it in archive, but you need to redownload it from the same place.
(You can test it by choosing e.g. from "Helsinki" to "Turku").
When I get to the screen where there is the "select seats" button and click it, there should be opened a car/seat map window in html format, but instead there appears just a note suggesting to install flashplayer (this happens also with Firefox if the security settings are too tight or there is an adblocker active - flash is really _not_ needed if the settings are correct!).
What settings should I use in Odyssey to get the seat selection to work? I have already turned of the internal adblock option and tested most of the spoofing options.
