New Features In Miami 3.0

New Features In Miami 3.0

The following is from Nordic Global's web site and is about the new features that will appear in Miami 3.0.

The user interface (formerly MUI) is now located in a separate program module. This introduces the following possibilities:

Miami can be used with a MUI user interface (as in earlier versions), or without MUI, using a user interface based on GadTools and GTLayout. A GUI module for ClassAct is planned for a later time.
When "Iconify" is used to close the Miami window, Miami can optionally close all GUI libraries (e.g. MUI), and remove the GUI module from memory. In particular with MUI this can save a lot of memory.
It is possible to open and close the user interface at any time, and to switch between different GUI engines while Miami is running.

Miami now fully supports DHCP, incl. limited-time IP address leases, and should now be compatible to the most popular cable modem setups.

MS-CHAP is now fully supported, i.e. even Windows-NT servers which have been configured to require "Microsoft password encryption" can be accessed. (Only in the registered version, requires MiamiSSL).

SOCKS V4/V5 proxy servers are transparently supported for the majority of Amiga Internet applications.

The utility programs MiamiRegister, MiamiInit and MiamiInitSANA2 have been significantly improved.

Many small improvements have been made, e.g. better modem control, the modem connection speed is displayed, database entries can be individually disabled etc.
