2.2 Features
Its range of features covers:
Supports the full HTML-2 standard as described in RFC-1866, Netscape
extesions and most HTML-3 features such as:
- HTML tables. Many more HTML commands and Netscapism's are understood
(including FONT SIZE and HR WIDTH). Improved general compatibility with broken
and nonstandard HTML code.
- Frames as introduced by Netscape 2.x
Supports Security Socket Layers (SSL).
Uses internal image decoding routines. Visually incremental
on-the-fly image decoding, leaving the program operational
during decode. No more hassle with datatypes related bugs.
Optimized memory usage. The routines are optimized for speed
and are very fast. Full support of CyberGFX HiColor/TrueColor
screens.
Support internal decoders for GIF, JPG and PNG images.
Supports versatile plugin interface for vanilla extensions
- SSL plugin included
- Web search engine plugin included
Supports T/TCP "TCP for Transactions" requests,
allowing for much faster establishment of HTTP links
to servers. This is currently supported by
Miami 1.9.x beta versions only. Specified
in RFC 1644. As far as we know, Voyager is the
first browser on any platform supporting this!
Totally reworked preference setting. The transfer anim is
now configurable, too.
Supports Shift & Click downloading of files even from
servers with broken configuration which state
that binary data is of type "text/plain" (which
happens frequently with .lha and .lzx files,
because these suffixes are missing in many
http server example mime.types files)
Popup menus for links offering link specific options.
Supports Client Side Image Maps.
Supports news: usenet news reading and posting.
Added internal SMTP send capability. Also
supports mailto: forms now. Improved news
handling.
Document cache with optional automatic last-modified-date-based verify.
Versatile hierarchical bookmark system, allowing export in HTML format,
menu selection and drag'n'drop sorting.
Asynchronous network handling. Multiple windows.
works with Miami, AmiTCP, as225r2, inet225 and mlink.
can be used without a network package as a local file viewer
(especially useful with client-side-image-maps)
The latest Voyager, v2.95, newest features include:
- Networking code supporting the HTTP/1.1 standard. This allows Voyager
to "park" connections to HTTP/1.1-capable websites in order to use them
again as needed. Parked HTTP/1.1 connections show up as grey LEDs. This
majorly improves speed when browsing around a web site by eliminating
any TCP layer overhead for connection establishment.
- Persistant FTP implementation. This allows Voyager to maintain
connections to FTP sites instead of reconnecting every time the user
does something. This allows for fast access to FTP sites and better
FTP browsing.
- Voyager is now capable of blitting images to and from Fast RAM on
ECS/AGA systems. This totally eliminates the 1/2 MB Chip mem barrier
and any problems related to that.
- Voyager will now complete a URL you type in as best it can. For
example, entering www.yah will have V complete it with "oo.com"
if you have recently visited Yahoo.
- The print feature has been greatly optimised with options to print
graphics, graphics with background, or text only. Voyager also
supports Turboprint for printing from 16/24 bit screens.
- Searching for text within documents is now possible.
- Cache handling has been improved and optimised, including a new
Cache browser.
- SSL certificate management is included in Voyager's settings area.
Note that this feature is only activated when using Voyager's own
SSL plugin, not MiamiSSL.
- Image decoder now supports the XBM format.
- Voyager can now view and save files using MimePrefs.
- SSL sessions may now be cached.
- Overall layout speed has been heavily improved.
- Voyager's context menus now include a WebTV interface.
- Voyager has a direct interface to Microdot II for news/mail.
