OmniWeb 2.0 beta 1 is now available

[Ken Case]

It's currently at  
ftp://ftp.cs.orst.edu/pub/next/submissions/OmniWeb-2.0-beta-1.app.tar.gz,  
but I expect it will move to  
ftp://ftp.cs.orst.edu/pub/next/binaries/wide-area-info/OmniWeb-2.0-beta-1.app.tar.gz  
sometime soon.

Enjoy!

This beta release is to find all the niggly bugs we expect in a product as  
complex as a web browser.  Do not use this beta browser to do real work.

OmniWeb 2.0 is a complete rewrite of OmniWeb.  We rewrote it to be more  
flexible, object-oriented, and truly multi-threaded; so we could add new  
features easily rather than hacking them on to the old C library we were  
using.  OmniWeb 2.0 has a whole raft of new features, detailed on  
http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniWeb/features2.html.  Highlights  
include support for tables and frames, but there are many, many others.

Because this is essentially a new product, some things that worked in  
OmniWeb 1.0 don't work any more.  We've tried to get everything, but please  
don't judge us harshly if we've broken something you liked; just send us a  
bug report.

You probably should back up your bookmarks file before using OmniWeb 2.0 --  
although we have taken reasonable precautions to make sure we won't corrupt  
them, you'll be awfully sorry if you lose them and this is beta software.

For the beta, you can send bugs directly to omni: omniweb2 at omnigroup.com.   
This beta will only last a couple of weeks, but the 10-user license we  
provide doesn't expire until February, so you'll have plenty of time to grab  
the final release before this expires.  There will be at least one more  
beta.
