AWeb 1.5 shareware ================== Finally here is the new 1.5 version of AWeb for my shareware users. I hope you will find it worth waiting for! INSTALLATION ============ To install AWeb, just double-click the Install icon. Important note: settings ------------------------ The location of the settings file has changed. If you install AWeb 1.5 on top of version 1.4, the script will find your old "AWeb.prefs" file and convert it automatically. If you install AWeb 1.5 somewhere else, you have to convert your old settings yourself. Use the "AWebPC" ("Preference Conversion") program for that. Read the "AWebPC.ReadMe" file. If the installation script found settings on the new location, i.e. if you have tried AWeb 1.5 before installation and saved settings, the installation script will not overwrite them. You have to convert your old settings yourself too in this case. Important note: hotlist ----------------------- If you install AWeb 1.5 somewhere else (not on top of 1.4) you'll have to copy your old "AWeb.hotlist" and "AWeb.auth" files to the new location. Otherwise AWeb will not recognize them. Do NOT copy these files while AWeb is running, or else they might get wiped out. Important note: ClassAct ------------------------ This version of AWeb needs a recent set of ClassAct files. The ClassAct archive is NOT included in this release, because many of you might already have the latest classes and including it would be a waste of space and download time. If AWeb complains that xxx.image or xxx.gadget is missing, you need to upgrade your ClassAct installation. Get the latest archive from: ftp://ftp.warped.com/classact/ Less important notes ;) ----------------------- o AWeb 1.5 needs your "AWeb.key" file, like 1.4 did. o If you use a localized version, you will probably notice a strange mixture of English and your language. That's because the catalogs haven't been translated yet. NOTE: During installation of AWeb, the installer tool might give an error message like: "unable to compile script". This is most likely caused by some misbehaving application installation, that has copied an obsolete version of the Commodore Installer utility to your hard drive. Make sure the Installer version in the SYS:C drawer is "installer_2 2.17 (1993-02-13)" or better. This version can be found on the Amiga Workbench 3.x Install floppy disk. Also, delete any copies of the Installer program from your SYS:Utilities drawer. NEW IN THIS RELEASE =================== o Fully supports the HTML 3.2 standard, including tables, floating images, client-side image maps, font colours and sizes. o Supports the tag for background sound (using datatypes). o Has a persistent, disk based cache. o The settings are moved to a separate program to save space and make opening a settings window faster. o Added a handy popup menu for images and links. o Added a text search function. o Added a graphical print function. o The GUI buttons and the animation are now configurable. and more. MADE A BUTTON SET OR ANIMATION? =============================== If you created a new button set or animation, don't keep it for yourself. Upload it to Aminet, or send it to me so it can be included in the next releases. Sending something to me implies your permission to include it in the commercial AWeb-II release.
