Following our tradition, here is now our 3rd Christmas (oh well, slightly delayed, but still) release!

Firstly, we'd like to take a moment to thank a person who is responsible for a lot of the progress we've seen in HighWire: Ralph Lowinski (aka AltF4). Without his dedication and skills, HighWire would NOT be what it is today!

So what is new with in this release? First of all it should be pointed out that more than anything else, the aim with this release was to clean up the things that were new to 0.1.5 and increase overall stability. Even so, there have been some additions as well. Here is a list of some of the most significant changes:

The cache system has been reworked, cached files will now be used over subsequent sessions

The reload button performs a reload of online pages, not only a reparse from the cache

Implemented basic CSS support for BIG, SMALL, FONT, SUB, SUP, H1..6, P, DD, DT, DD and SPAN tags.

Parsing of <STYLE> areas

Pop-ups are now aligned always to the screen extents

Meta tag 'http-equiv=expires' implemented

OVL for the TCP/IP stack iConnect added

See the Change.Log for more details of updates and the example.cfg/highwire.cfg
for explanations of new configuration keywords!

HighWire

Now for another repeat, Baldrick's call for volunteers:

If you are interested in helping with the HighWire project, don't hesitate to get
in touch with any member of the development team and let them know. There are lots
of areas where more people would make the job easier. If you can't program, then
consider helping with the documentation or get involved with submitting bug
reports. If you are a programmer and are interested in working on the code of
HighWire, then definitely get in contact with the development team. Translations
into other languages would also be a nice addition to the project. While we have
many different languages spoken by members of the development team, we only have
language support for French and English.

Not only is a modern browser needed for our platform. It is our belief that our
best option is one that is native and open source. To reach that goal we will need
time and the help of community.

Thank you,

Â– HighWire Development Team
