Hallo Leute,

Zu laden kann man Diese unter http://kas1e.mikendezign.com/aos4/odyssey_betas/:

Odyssey 1.23 r5_beta02 - AmigaOS4

-- Added bunch of new and up2date user agents to "spoof as".
-- Enabled WebP support
-- WebKit revision number is now presented in AboutBox too
-- Recompiled with more up2date 3d party libraries: libFreeType2 2.10.1, libXML2 2.9.10, libXSLT 1.1.34 and libWebP 1.0.3

[IconDesigner]

So seit heute kann die dritte Betaversion geladen werden: http://kas1e.mikendezign.com/aos4/odyssey_betas/

Folgende Änderungen gibt es:

Odyssey 1.23 r5_beta03 - AmigaOS4

-- fixed bug in Odyssey with WebP rendering being in blue color (Cairo expect ARGB, no needs for byteswap) (c) Petrol. Also, rebuild with newer libWebP v1.1.0
-- major PNG decoding changes:
1). Odyssey compiled with 1.6.37 instead of old 1.2.50 libpng + necessary changes in Odyssey's code
2). added APNG (animated png) support. Code taken from today's WebKit source code and adapted to our version + added .apng mime-type as well.
Changes applied:
https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/181553/webkit
https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/194503/webkit
For test visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APNG and see if animation works
-- Ouch! The current version of Cairo we use till now didn't use Semaphores as expected, but pthreads instead! Removed pthreads usage in favor of os4 semaphores.
That theoretically can bring some speed and may have some impact on MediaPlayer. Also recompiled Cairo with libpng16 now.
-- actual build dates for $VER: everywhere (version, aboutbox, and about.html)
-- fix "download-font" script by adding --no-check-certificates to wget (c) khayoz

@Berny
Everything should be installed to the fresh directory all the time for all the betas. I.e. unpack things to RAM: and so on. Also you should have all the latest components (like last OS4, latest mui , etc). _No_ binary overwrite from new betas to old installatin.

Ich bin vom neuen OWB wirklich begeistert. Viele Seiten werden jetzt wieder korrekt dargestellt und sind wenigsten wieder nutzbar. Tolle Arbeit, weiter so.

Könntet ihr mal eine Webseite testen?

Wer auf Music-Streaming steht, sollte such die Audials Live Web Seite anschauen:
http://live.audials.com/de/portal?_ga=2 ... 1584539390

Und folgende Seite bitte testen:

Gerade ausprobiert und die Seiten gehen bei mir, zumindest der Radio Teil. Cool.

Und die Beta 4 ist draußen.

Odyssey 1.23 r5_beta04 - AmigaOS4

-- Major change in Video/Audio:

Thanks to Frank from AmiBoing/EntwicklerX Odyssey now uses Frank's real amiga shared libs for all FFmpeg parts handling video/audio in the browser. That in comparison with my older static FFmpeg compile mean:

1. We have now FFmpeg 2.2.16 instead of an older 2.2.1 (why not 3.x and 4.x ? Because since 2.2.16 some decoders start to be slower).
2. Binary of Odyssey is smaller on 5mb now, as no FFmpeg code built-in, that code in the shared libs instead.
3. Frank's version recognize Altivec unit and if available, uses the Altivec code automatically (so theoretically those ones who has Altivec machines can have better speed in video playback). Quite interesting to see comprassion results on x1000 when play the same mediafile via beta03 and beta04.
4. ffmpeg libs can be updated separately, without odyssey updates.

All the shared libs also placed in the LIBS folder of Odyssey and will be used from there now, so users will have no issues. But of course, you can move them all to system LIBS: directory if you wish: AmigaOS4 will
firstly search libs in the LIBS: directory of Odyssey, and if nothing found then the system's one.

-- In the prefs/media enabled by default WebM, Flv and Ogg (before they were disabled), so everything works out of the box. If users wish to not have video/audio be played in the browser but to have downloads instead, then
those options can be disabled.

-- incorporated some changes which Deadwood did for 1.25 version back in past and which wasn't in our version till now, such as: Improved audio/video sync code in MediaPlayer and Free locale resources regardless of application creation.

-- one more user-agent for spoofing by request: Nintendo Wii
