Mosaic v1.4beta
Well, it's finally here :) Mosaic v1.4beta(2.0?)!!
THE GOOD NEWS
- FORMS
Finally... mosaic has Forms suport. Now you can subscribe/order
things via the Web
- ICONIFY
This is reportedly fixed, it no longer crashes.
- BOING
The 'clock' pointer has been removed and replaced by a boing ball. Whenever you're receiving
data it bounces around. This has already been the cause of much discussion
in the mailing-list ;).
- BUTTONS
New Buttons :) are visible above the Web-window, two of which are new.
They also have eerr... 'pretty' gfx. Fortunately, you can configure their
appearance using the prefs file to display as text, gfx or both.
Amiga Home Page - Connects directly to the New Home Page
for the amiga
Amosaic Home Page - From our everloving, hard-working
mosaic Developers
Home - Connects to the HomePage - ie the FIRST page you
saw when you ran mosaic. This could be an index.html page you have sitting
on your HD :)
- HOTLIST
A new snazzy hierarchial hotlist - now you don't need AMHotlist ;).
Though there is a new version (2.0) on Aminet.
THE BAD NEWS
Well... there HAD to be some this is still a BETA program afterall, so
no griping at the back there. Be constructive, if you find a bug, email the
team.
FTP
This varies seemingly from person to person. In other words you may or
may not be able to FTP via mosaic.
The fix - Get the ASR225 version (using 1.3) and use the socket
lib thingy from telnet_VGOOD.
