The Omni Group

Okay okay. I admit it. If you've been following along with our sneaky peeks during 5.6 development there isn't a whole lot new here. But I must take this opportunity to thank all of you testers out there because none of this would be possible without you.

But! If you haven't been running the sneaky peeks, this little bit of news that OmniWeb 5.6 is now totally complete and ready for your downloading slash browsing slash enjoying pleasure may be just the bit of news you need to top your day! New updated rendering engine (about a year and a half of development has gone into this thanks to the WebKit crew). Inline PDF support, Web Inspector, support for the Drosera JavaScript debugger, improved JavaScript and plug-in support are all there. Bug fixes to syncing the UI and bookmarks, crashes and other stability issues have been corrected. We've even made sure that upgrading to leopard will go smoothly for you. So if you've experienced some performance problems, have had trouble displaying pages or, you know, plan to upgrade your OS this Friday…

Go give it a try! Download and release notes can be found here.

Hi OmniWeb, we let you sit in the corner for a little too long, sorry about that. The fine folks at WebKit.org have been doing some amazing work and we thought you might like to play with it. Come out of the corner, stretch your legs and lets see how things go!

After your time away, I hope you'll get along better with JavaScript and plug-ins like Speed Download. Not to mention all those random sites that you just didn't see eye to eye with. We promise to help you along the way but in the meantime why don't you head on over to the Sneaky Peek page we made up for you.

This is a small update that contains a number of fixes to the download window. It also brings the security and performance fixes that were part of 5.5.4 beta 1 to a stable release.

We hope you enjoy it!

OmniWeb 5.5.4 beta 1 is now available! While this isn't a huge update it does address a couple issues that we think everyone will appreciate.

First, we've addressed a security issue (as reported here), this fix prevents code inside HTML comments to be executed that could occur in some circumstances.

Next, we fixed an issue with the history index that allows old content to get removed from the database. This means that your index should no longer grow to painfully large sizes and slow page loading performance down. Please note however, on first launch of 5.5.4 your history index file will be reset. This will not affect your History list but you will be required to revisit pages to include them in full text search of your history.

These in addition to some JavaScript and Localization fixes make up 5.5.4, you can get the full release notes here.

OmniWeb 5.5.2 has gone final! While there have been many changes since 5.5.1 (which you can find more out about here), this update also addresses a security issue identified by the “Month of Apple Bugs” project earlier this morning. We highly recommend this release for all users.

This is just a small update to correct an encoding problem discovered in the French localization as well as an issue where Target=“_blank” links would still open in a new window.

Release notes and download available here.

Lots of bug fixes and small enhancements. Many will be happy to see that OmniWeb now respects the system feed reader and forces all links in a new tab if you desire to do so!
