Updates, Upgrades and Patches

AWeb-II 3.0b Patch File (70k)

Use this patch to update your AWeb-II 3.0 program to AWeb-II 3.0b.

You must have installed AWeb-II version 3.0 previously before you can install this patch.

To install the patch, double-click the installation icon.

The installation procedure will need the original disks from the AWeb-II 3.0 distribution. After installation, you will have to enter the registration number (found in the distribution) and your name again the first time you run AWeb-II.

New in this version

Fixed many bugs:
- AWeb could hang or crash (01000008, semaphore in illegal state) frequently.
- Large paragraphs of text could be messed up.
- Small images on a line by themselves could take up too much vertical space.
- Scrolling horizontally, then going back would not display the document correctly.
- Opening a new window could load the document again.
- Reload of a redirected page when the redirection changed (like random Yahoo) didn't display the new page.
- With image loading set to "maps only", other images already in memory weren't displayed.
- Submitting a form from an unloaded image "button" didn't always work.
- ... and more.
Added support for image scaling for nontransparent images when using the internal (datatype based) decoder.
Added support for all Windows characters in the range 128-159.
Added support for RAmiga-C in text form fields (copy contents to clipboard).

CyberGraphics users

Earlier versions of cybergraphics.library didn't correctly handle scaling of images. If images look distorted, visit http://www.vgr.com and upgrade your cybergraphics.library.

The new 3.0 upgrade package is available.

The 2.0 to 2.1 upgrade archive is no longer available from this site. If you require this upgrade, please send your registration information to sales@amitrix.com.

A patch for the locale.library 39 problem in the registered shareware AWeb 1.3 is available.

Plugins

By registering for a low shareware fee you will get the full version sent to you by e-mail. Updates of the plugin will be free and sent to you automatically. See the documentation for full details.

Requirements for AWeb-II

The following hardware and software are required in order to install and use AWeb-II:

Workbench / Kickstart 3.0, 3.1, or above.
Approximately 3 MB of free hard disk space for installation of the software, and 5-10 MB of free space for disk caching unless you have a lot of spare RAM.
At least 2 Megs of RAM. Less than 1 Meg of chip RAM may make image loading difficult or impossible.
A working TCP/IP stack, either AmiTCP, AS-255, I-Net 225, or other suitable software.
The installation of appropriate GIF, JPEG, JFIF, 24bit, and other datatypes as required. These may be obtained from Aminet in the util/dtype directory. The current recommended datatypes are:
- ZGIF version 39.18
- akJFIF version 43.75
- akPNG version 43.11
- For CyberGraphics systems, use the latest V43 picture datatype.
- AMS archive, including support for .au sound files and improved picture datatype for non-Cybergraphics systems.

Upgrading from Older Versions of AWeb

Current users of the demo, shareware, and registered shareware versions of AWeb can easily upgrade to the commercial version. After installing the commercial version of AWeb-II, copy your old AWeb hotlist to the new AWeb-II: directory. Your current hotlist will be kept, but your preference settings will be reset.

For users who registered the shareware version of AWeb, it's author Yvon Rozijn (yrozijn@noord.bart.nl) has arranged for registered users of the shareware versions to upgrade to the commercial version 3.0 of AWeb-II for the same fee as existing v2.x commercial customers. Shareware versions are numbered 1.x, starting with 1.3.

Upgrading from Other Browsers

Upgrading to AWeb-II is easy for users of other Amiga browser programs. AWeb-II will automatically recognize the TCP/IP stack you are using. If you are upgrading from IBrowse, AWeb-II is able to read your old hotlist directly. If you are upgrading from another browser which stores its hotlist as an HTML document, AWeb-II will be able to read it.
