- Release notes for IBrowse 1.2
- -----------------------------
-
- Welcome to IBrowse1.2, 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
-
