ArcWeb 0.10 Release Notes
=========================
IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to use ArcWeb via any TCP/IP networking software at
all, you also need the fetchers appropriate to that networking software.
These are under development and may be released by me, or by others. This
version will let you browse HTML files on your hard disc.
If this message arrived by e-mail then:
This message has been sent to you because you expressed an interest
in seeing earlier versions of, and/or alpha/beta testing ArcWeb -
my RISC OS World Wide Web browser.
This is the last version which will be announced via e-mail. Future
versions will be announced by postings to demon.ip.support.archimedes
and comp.sys.acorn.
endif
This is a beta test version. ArcWeb is available (via HTTP) from:
http://louis.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~snb94r/arcweb.arc
It is also available for FTP from: ftp.demon.co.uk as
/pub/archimedes/www/arcweb_0.10.spark
I highly recommend that you look at the ArcWeb home page (go to my home page
[shown below] and follow the link to it) if you have already have http:
capability.
This release was made on 6 November 1994.
For conditions of use, please read Terms.
For help on how to use and configure ArcWeb, please read the Instruct file.
These files also contain IMPORTANT information about the configuration
required before !ArcWeb will run.
Bugs Fixed & Improvements
=========================
<PRE> is handled again. This ceased working in versions 0.08 and 0.09 for
no apparent reason. It is also now handled properly.
Rendering of hypertext in headings is fixed (rendering speed has also been
increased)
You can prevent ArcwebImg and ArcwebLcl from installing icon bar icons,
which reduces congestion on the icon bar, but then you can't get at their
configuration windows.
Delayed image loading partially implemented (to get the images on a page
which has had the image loading delayed, you need to unset the delay image
option (on the options menu) and then 'Reload').
The URL of a document is shown in the title of the document window.
The URL of the currently being fetched document is stored in the information
window for the document which launched the fetch.
Known Bugs
==========
Known bugs can be found at http://louis.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~snb94r/arcweb.html
There appears to be a problem with SparkFS archives, regarding the translation
to and from . and / characters. Still under investigation.
