[ Atariscne.org - News ] HighWire 0.5.0 Beta 4

A quick release, with 68000 and ColdFire builds
This is a quick release with various bug fixes. It is the first release with 68000 and ColdFire support, and those builds have not been fully tested yet. The 68000 build uses software floating point; the 68020–60 and ColdFire builds use the hardware FPU. NanoSVG, which draws SVG images, works in floating point, so SVG is slowest on the 68000. A 68000 build without SSL is also included, for local pages and for HTTP proxies such as WebOne.

New in this release: Copy and Paste for text, animated GIFs, an optional screen buffer, much more complete flexbox and grid, line-height, position: fixed, viewport units, styled buttons and text fields, live :focus styles, resumable downloads and run-time switches for SVG, WebP, HTTPS, GIF animation and the screen buffer.

The next full release will be HighWire 1.0, to avoid problems with another project.
