Wayfarer 6.1 just dropped!

- Downloads and network cache writes now use asyncio.library
- Adjusted SSL ciphers to try to default to ones that are faster on PowerPC
- Checks whether lo0 interface is enabled and warns if not
- Improved error handling in auto-updater

I think it would be the best to make Wayfarer to use Unit 0 instead of using Music Unit. I don't think that many people are using Wayfarer as a hifi-player that would need an exclusive access to the audio hardware. In the most cases users would like to be able to output audio from the browser simultaneously with other programs in a non-blocking way... it's a bit wrong way to force users to change their audio settings for this.

ok
also it s the recommandation to do that music unit set 0
i ll do it for powerbook g4 and not imac g5
obligement can help to configure correctly morphos

Also got that AHI error on a fresh install, but fixed with Music unit set to 0 indeed :) Sometimes i have seen the WkWebView not being able to open screen 1920 x 1080 when clicking a video for fullscreen, but i will get full error if i see it again :)

You need to set Music Unit to Unit 0 in Audio settings.

ok
thanks for help

It seems I managed to resolve this one.

Delete the whole Wayfarer directory and unpack the archive. Re-set the defaults for youtube.com and it should work.

It seems the auto-update function messed something up when updating from 5.5. to 6.0 and the clean install resolved it.

i use the maestrix and have audio but the error of ahi is still there
i have not this error on my powerbook g4 but on my imac G5

@jacadcaps I can confirm the error as well. Steps to reporduce:
1. Open youtube.com
2. Click on a video to watch
3. While the page loads, a WkWebView dialog requester opens up saying: AHI audio.device failed.
4. Page continues loading but no audio

Sometimes, clearing cache and restarting Wayfarer helps. I also noticed that the error appears on most videos but some don't get this error.

I haven't experienced this behaviour with WF 5.x, this is new to WF 6.0.

My config:
PMAC 11,2 G5 Quad 2,5
2 GB RAM
X1950
TP-Link RTL8168-based network card
MOS 3.18

ok jacadcaps yes but this problem with ahi was not on wayfarer 5
i ll check my config with ahi to see

That's so vague that I have no idea what to do with this information. If AHI is failing then I suggest you check your AHI configuration.

problem with wayfarer 6 to pay with paypal
error ahi with youtube

Thanks, works perfectly again when quitting :)

Delete update.lha from Wayfarer's directory. I'll see if I can improve upon the update process.

Hey, I face a minor issue. I opened Wayfarer 5.5, auto-found new version and hit "Update". After finishing downloading lha update, I got an error "couldn't extract pack" (or something similar). Closed the browser, reboot, opened it again, went to https://wayfarer.icu/, download version 6.0, closed the browser, extracted manually and overwritten the contents of previous version. Now, Wayfarer (ver 6.0) loads up just fine but when I close the browser I get the same error and have to click "Cancel". I can see on browser's background splash screen that it tries to update itself but if I click "Check for Updates", I get the message that I am using the most recent one.

Thanks for the update! I have installed 5.5 on my Peg2 recently and will update to 6.0 today :)
Any chance we get some JIT optimization? Scrolling is pretty sluggish too compared to OWB

Keep up the good work!

I am really happy that you don’t stop development of the Wayfarer. Results of your work is really awesome.

Fun fact. Several days ago I noticed that I was programming game for MorphOS in Xcode14 on modern MacBookPro and looking for something regarding C++ in Wayfarer on my PowerBookG4. :) :) I think it shows that Wayfarer is really useful and in my tasks is really adult browser. :)

Thank you!

Great news and of course a top news! :)
Thank you very much!

Yeah! Excellent news! Thanks Jacadcaps!

Jacek, thank you for your work! This is one of the most important programs in our system.

Wayfarer 6.0 is now available!

The WebKit core has again been rebased to the latest stable WebKitGTK tree. But that's not all, 6.0 also brings many UI improvements like Bookmark filtering, improved password management, Youtube playback fixes, additional Altivec acceleration and more.

To update from 5.5 simply use the Check for Updates menu function. Wayfarer will then download the new build and auto-update on quit. To update from an older version, manually extract all files from wayfarer.lha into your existing installation.

Wayfarer 5.5 is now available!

- Wayfarer will now auto-update on quit when using the Check for updates functionality
- Fixed a bug in Downloads window which wouldn't always allow resuming a failed download
- Enabled mjpeg support in ffmpeg (enables audio playback in JellyFin)
- Updated cURL

I *strongly* recommend updating to 5.5 if you're on 5.2-5.4 due to cURL bugs getting fixed.

Great news, there is less to catch up with Firefox.

Excellent news! Thanks Jacadcaps!
