New browser for MorphOS in development

Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek from the MorphOS team who recently developed the IMAP capable e-mail client Iris now is working on a new browser for MorphOS which is not a further development of Odyssey but a completely new approach based on the latest version of the HTML rendering engine Webkit.



Piszczek explained that the browser will probably require 1 Gigabyte RAM and will not support video playback or the "webinspector" mode of Webkit due to the limited processor and graphics card performances of the computers currently supportd by MorphOS. Already now the project has high demands on MorphOS and the SDK, among others errors happened in the compiler and the TCP stack as well as Exec and others components had to be adjusted. Therefore public beta versions will not be released before the availability of MorphOS 3.14.



In a discussion on morph.zone the developer publishes short status messages. Today for the first tima a screenshot has been published. (cg) (Translation: dr)
