There have been literally no changes that would have an impact on performance between the two.

I noticed some deterioration of the general speed from 4.7 to 4.8
I have an IMAC g5 2.1 Isight
OWB is always significantly faster in all the things I do on the various sites both in downloading files and in terms of site viewing time and page scrolling

@Amigaharry2

Don't use Auto quality on YT and you'll be fine. I might be able to fix this, but no promises. Google does not follow MSE specs at all and does quality switching by randomly feeding you chunks from different video streams.

Since I removed Datacache to max. 2MB this problem does'nt occour any more.

But there are serious problems in YT to play videos: Some Videos (not all!) won't start after commercial (eg. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4VoYpCsMoEo&t=613s) but works in OWB flawless.

Others (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4VoYpCsMoEo&t=613s) will break after a few seconds (especially when useing forward or backward jumps)

Prefs in Wayfarer are'nt changed.

I have the same problem (already since 4.5 or 4.6); it just stalls on quit. Will check the WkWebView processes next time.

I can confirm that. It happened here after playing an mp4 file inside Wayfarer.

Ok, I will check it. "Unfortunately" now everything works well (also during a compilation) and the problem is not reproducible.

@MDW

Next time this happens, try to see what WkWebView processes are still around.

I had strange problem with Wayfarer 4.7 and 4.8. SOMETIMES I can't close Wayfarer. The application works correctly, I am able to open tabs with websites, navigate, close all tabs except the last one. But if I use "Quit" option in menu, RCmd+Q or click close button on main window of Wayfarer - there is no effect. I can't close the application.
Debug logs are clean.

I noticed the problem three times. I am not sure but probably always in background GCC 11 was building huge project (CPU usage 100%). If I stopped the compilation, close FlowStudio, CPU usage was 0%, I still wasn't able to close the Wayfarer. After reboot Wayfarer works correctly.

Cloudflare does not currently support Wayfarer. Any site protected with Cloudfare will not work.

Any one open https://chat.openai.com/ with wayfarer ? My powerbook always say "Human verification" ang high CPU usage.

@ Cool_amigaN

Your disk I/O must be very slow if you're seeing a HUGE difference.

@jacadcaps

Well, let me repeat your words and emphasise on this: [...] should make pages loading resources from multiple servers A LOT less CPU intensive, as I confirm that there is a HUGE difference when loading multiple tabs! Thanks a million for this new version :)

Geez, it's incredible the amount of work that jaca and team put into this. It's really appreciated!

@ jacadcaps - You (and your team?) seem be constantly working on Wayfarer, and looking for aspects to improve it, which is really amazing.

4.8 is now out to fix the socks proxy regression. Coincidentally, 4.7 and 4.8 appear to benefit from a recent cURL optimization enabling SSL certificate caching. This should make pages loading resources from multiple servers a lot less CPU intensive.

I found the problem: I had only extracted the 2 visible files to the new folder, not the entire contents. Thank you!

Quote:

No.

Please note that we've identified a regression with socks proxies support. If you need this, please stay on 4.5 for now.

Please delete. Message posted by the smartphone.

@Mach

Does the same happen if you download and extract the new wayfarer.lha and run directly from the extracted folder? It sounds as if all of Wayfarer’s data files were missing.

@ Mach - Did you install the cgxvideo.library into the usually forbidden MOSSYS:Libs from about version 2.7 of Wayfarer as that may be causing the issue you are experiencing.

I am running MOS 3.17 on a G5 mac. I've been running Wayfarer 2.10. but have been updating some apps and installed Wayfarer 4.6 and now 4.7. I received the openssl3.library warning yesterday and installed it. However, now neither 4.6 or 4.7 series is working for me. It first opens into a minute window (not the usual splash screen). When the app window opens it shows the web address in the top bar but doesn't render anything in the page below. How can I help you troubleshoot this?

Many thanks.

Please Jacadcaps...you can rest the last day of the year! :)
Thanks for the update!

Minor update now out

- Removed the requirement of latest openssl3.libary in order to run Wayfarer
- Update check will also optionally check if openssl3.library is latest
- Localization strings cosmetics
