ArcWeb has gained its own GIF decoder so it no longer has to rely on ChangeFSI/gif2spr
to provide image translation.
New in less recent versions (the further down the list, the older the feature/fix):
PrintWeb takes into account the current printer paper size settings (
or defaults to A4 if isn't loaded
Frames via lists of links
Cookie support added
META and LINK tags are stored and can be viewed by clicking Adjust on
on the toolbar or by clicking
on the More Information button in the About dialogue box.
Preformatted text layout is much better
Authentication database much enhanced. Now features:
Storing of FTP passwords
Correct handling of multiple realms per HTTP server
All password information is encrypted in the Auth_DB file
JPEG plotting code more consistent (can handle JPEGs with non-default
DPI settings
Client-side imagemaps (same document only)
FTP upload provides status updates
Interactive web page design
FTP upload
local: URLs can be made case-sensitive
Background image plotting should be much better now
Drag'n'Drop protocol now supported - so you can drag the URLs from the URL icon out to
other places.
I've fixed a major fault in the global history handling which was causing random exits
whenever the global history filled up.
Cache is more configurable (see its configuration window)
More resilient networking code - no obvious outward signs of this except a decrease in
the number of failed connections to proxies, hopefully.
Image menu added so that you can export (most of) the images from web pages
DrawFiles are exported `cleanly' now, so Draw doesn't complain about some of the objects.
Width & Height attributes to the img tag are supported
Email sending no longer causes a weird silent exit, and the result of trying to e-mail is
displayed in a dialogue box too.
New DNS Resolver code included to provide secondary cacheing, and to search out system
variables contaning resolver configuration information when the resconf configuration file
is not found.
ArcWeb now uses Dynamic Areas on a Risc PC (the amount of memory to claim is configurable in
the Memory choices window)
ArcWeb can take advantage of Virtualise ® in order to make those dynamic areas virtual.
Control of virtual memory is via the Virtualise frontend, or a simple on/off switch in the
Memory choices window in ArcWeb.
ADJUST click on the Reload button just resizes the display
Image size detection fixed again
Shouldn't prompt you to confirm a quit if there are no windows open and no activity
Renderer should finally manage to multitask multiple renders, although this will use
quite a bit of CPU time, I would have thought
Major memory leak fixed (1.5Kb per page viewed!)
Image sizes should be calculated better in non-square modes, so imagemaps will work better
