considering that the webkit engine is very old, I found compatible services still

Here is some teaser screenshot of some experimenting I'm doing right now. I'll give more details when things are more stable.

Good job deadwood!

thank you Deadwood

This is great news Tried the update and Odyssey work better now. Thanks Deadwood.

@nikos

Good to see you back.

a small annotation odyssey consumes more memory now i have had problems in my netbook with 1 Gb ram at the moment i am waiting for the upgrade to 2 Gb ram to arrive, anyway good job and thanks

The memory and CPU requirements will only grow with newer versions.

ok with 2 Gb of ram I should be fine even with the next versions the cpu still holds but I also have the desktop computer which gives me no problems, thanks again for your dedication

Fabulous news, thank you! Now, where is the dancing banana emogi? :-)

===========================

Please read this before downloading:

WebKit engine update caused regression in several browser features. Keep that in mind when using these build. These problems are planned to be solved. Please make a copy of your existing OWB directory and place the binary in the copy. Don't place the binary in your main OWB directory and due to regressions I mentioned, it may damage your OWB configuration files.

===========================

Now, for more details on this first alpha build of OWB 2.0!

The engine has been updated from August 2015 to February 2019 (more then 50 000 changes included!!!). The browser requirements also increased. It needs a minimum of 1GB RAM and possibly a CPU with SSE2 instructions (it might not work on Atom processors, EDIT: tested and confirmed to work on Atom processors)

Enjoy and please report any problems as well as sites which cause browser to crash!

These components need to be updated:

Tested sites:
- multiple Amiga sites, wikipedia, YT main/search page

Known issues:
- media player is disabled - no videos on YT for now
- certificates path is hardcoded to system default path (ENV:SYS/Certificates/ca-bundle.crt)
- disabling SSL check does not work
- window must be kept active to process events

Known sites crashing browser:

Thanks deadwood for this great work, from the translation I didn't quite understand where to copy the Binary !
Maybe you mean not to use the root folder and test OWB on a new folder without configurations ?

Can this version be included in the Distribution or do we have to wait for the stable version !

@AMIGASYSTEM

What I'm suggesting is to make a copy of your existing OWB directory and place the new binary in the copy.

As for inclusion in distribuitions, this is not a release version, just first of many development builds, so I'd wait with that.

Ok thanks I will wait for the final version, on the new AROS One I will leave the old pre-existing version au AROS One 2.5.

@deadwood
Why did you pointed to a webkit version of 2019 an not an actually one?

It's because the February 2019 version is the last one tha can be compiled with GCC version that we currently have. Further webkit updates will require update of the compiler and if noone steps up to do it, I will probably do it next year.

Deadwood I have no words to express my gratitude

I have noticed two anomalies that crash the programme one is when I click the right mouse button and the other when I type in the search bar

Ok, both confirmed and added to TODO list.
