Release notes for IBrowse 1.12
------------------------------
Welcome to IBrowse1.12demo, a state of the art webbrowser for our favourite
computer! With this version of IBrowse you are finally able to navigate
on the increasing number of 'Netscape enhanced pages with frames'. For
those of you who don't like frames at all, a preferences option is
available to turn of frames.
The Floyd-Steinberg dithering is default turned off. If you want to use it,
please enter preferences General/HTML Display. If you have less then 16
colors, it might be a good idea to select the 'Don't dither backgrounds'
to avoid that the dithered background will distort the text.
Remaining bugs
--------------
Due to some internal problems, % widths in tables were not fixed. This will be fixed when
the table parser is rewritten for IBrowse 2.0
