    Writing this from Wayfarer 8.0. Basic port is now done. It remains to be seen how much more I'll have to spend fixing and debugging - media player had so many changes for example, that it will take me a while to restore basic functionality there. All in all, it looks like 8.0 release is now 2 weeks away.

    Wayfarer 8.0 is now available for download.

    It's getting increasingly hard to update WebKit. This version either deprecated or broke a lot of the compile time options I've been using to customize the build. This means I had to put more work into this upgrade than with version 5, 6 or 7.

    Please consider donating if you appreciate my work.

    Tried to donate with Wayfarer 8.0 -> no PayPal login possible! Cannot write anything on login-page.
    Had to switch back to Wayfarer 7.x to log in....

    On videos on site https://orf.at/ sound does'nt work any more.

    Problem, I wrote in #1516 seems now solved - does what it should again.

    You can write on the login prompt, but it just doesn't get updated automatically. Resize the Wayfarer window to get it updated to the current input.

    You must be getting a different login page in Europe than I'm getting in Canada, cause it's working just fine here.

    It doesn't work with Wayfarer 7.x either, so something must have changed on their end.

    Had a look at their HLS stream and they are now using a separate playlist(s) for their audio data. As in: it's no longer being encoded in the same chunks as video. I'll think about this, but it's going to be a major refactor to support, so no promises.

    @jpv: Thank you! That does the trick.....

    @jacad: Interessting, i'm sure it worked (Video) a week ago, but it's possible they have changed - they allways change things from time to time.. But over all: V8.0 works very well!

    Big thanks to all who donated!

    Version 8.2 is now out. I've rebased to the latest stable WebKitGTK 2.44.1 since it fixes some of the additional crashes people were seeing.

    This version also enables lazy image loading support which may improve performance on websites using the functionality.

    Sometimes Wayfarer cannot be quit. Requester occours, but does nothing when clicking on "Beenden".
    Cannot say what circumstances this behaviour causes - comes randomly.
    Have to reboot machine.
