Congratulation and many thanks angain to yourself and retrofaza for this milestone, really looking forward to trying it out at some point next year :-)
Finally, after four months of work Odyssey 64-bit arrived! Check out this cool promo video:
First, I would like to thank @retrofaza for his tireless, everyday testing of new builds on multiple configurations which made this release possible.
This release builds on top of updated WebKit engine and Media Player in Odyssey 2.0 with addition of JavaScript acceleration via JIT compiler for greater performance as well as ability to utilize multiple CPU cores when running under AxRuntime.
If you like to try out Odyssey, please follow the tutorials below.
@Amiwell79 - but owb will work on abiv11 not abiv1
Odyssey 2.0 will work on any variant of AROS, be it ABIv1 or m68k as long as there is person interested in doing the work of compiling and possible bug hunting. I'm happy to help such person. Currently I'm helping a person from AmigaOS 4 community to compile Odyssey for that system.
Yes, but only when 32Bit emulation is available, or when the most important 32Bit software is recompiled to 64Bit, otherwise you cannot have a Distribution, only a Build.
This Build does not work on WMware, i have not tested on VirtualBox, not even all software that has been developed for ABIV11 works on ABIV1, for ABIV1 at the moment there is no software except some software.
Thanks a lot! In this version, you can already log in to your Google account and even gmail works. For now only the mobile view, to use it you have to enter through the address:
Fixes:
- fixed Subresource Integrity support (solves arosnews.github.io issues)
- fixed saving cookies from Java Script
- fixed Cookie Manager window
- fixed crash when using search text box
- fixed duplication of cookies (solves archives.aros-exec.org, amigaworld.net)
Known issues:
- downloads are not working
- context menus are disabled
- 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
- dragging an image causes crash
- exiting settings causes bottom bar to missrender
- WebSockets are not working
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!!!).
Enjoy and please report any problems as well as sites which cause browser to crash!
If you are using Odyssey under Linux hosted, please apply these updates:
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
- right-click (context menu) crashes browser
- typing in search bar crashes browser
- cookies do not work
1) No visual feedback when moving/resizing is a known issue related to WSL. It work on Linux. It will be fixed in one of the next runtime releases.
2) I guess keyboard is stuck at english. It is not synchronized with what the host is using.
3) I took a note of crash report with drop down box
Posted from within OWB inside WSL2 in Windows!
The right menu works, file requester works, got to see ram disk et all, although when I closed the first time it closed the envirnoment!
It states "AxRuntime does not support AllocAbs(nommu_AllocAbs)"
The keyboard does not correspond to the one being used, neither on windows nor in linux
I had to click on the address bar a few times so it didn't lose focus
When moving and resizing the windows, I have to do it blindly.
Overall though, it's quite pleasant experience/surprise!
Update:
I've noticed it to be a recurring issue that causes a loss of focus when entering text again in the address field. Initially, I thought the problem occurred because it was the first time the program was running. However, I've realized that the issue arises whenever the dropdown suggestion box appears. Afterwards, when I was typing "amigaworld.net," the autocomplete dropdown appeared, and I had to click to continue typing. Worst still, it led it to a crash.
It behaves differently regarding the update/scale of ui. I loaded Firefox on WSL and it worked as expected, moving the full window, scaling...
For the first time, BETA version of 64-bit Odyssey browser is available for people willing to try it out on either AROS-hosted or directly on Windows 11 or Linux. We prepared detailed turorials on how to install it on each of the supported platforms.
We are looking for feedback on this development version, so please report back any stability issues or bugs you find. Please also keep in mind that this version still uses an old engine (201507) so there will be issues with rendering websites.
Right now what can be tested in 64-bit OWB on 64-bit AROS hosted. In coming days we will also share turorial how to use OWB on Windows and Linux. Stay tuned!
This build of OWB uses the same code base as recently released update for 32-bit. If you notice any stability issues, please share them in this thread.
the idea would be to start from the base of linux by taking the basic packages to boot the DE and then axruntime, i will wait patiently for future updates, the idea of using aros on each computer is interesting but i don't want to install a whole distribution and then boot aros like you do on windows with winuae
