    No, flash hasn't been improved. Swfdec compatibility will be more and more obsolete as time goes, since the project is dead.

    The only area where it could improve a bit would be speed (recompiling it with more recent cairo/pixman versions, and possibly hw accel someday).

    In the long term, as i think i already said a couple times, another candidate for Flash would be lightspark, or maybe even gnash if it gets significantly better than swfdec.

    On the 1.0 GHz G4 from your signature? With H264 on Youtube?

    Unfortunately you didn't answer if it was on Youtube or elsewhere. On Youtube it would be MP4/H264 (or the even more demanding WebM/VP8).

    I've got the felling that browsing is way faster than it was before!

    Fab is there any chance to fix the progress indicator on gmail when adding attachement?

    If you experience slow page loading (not OWB loading), check the size of conf/webpageIcons.db file. It grown up to 20 MB on my Pegasos. After I deleted it, pages load much faster.

    I just tried with OWB 1.11 and noticed that H264 videos at 720p still bring my 1.5 GHz G4 to its knees. Could you give a link to that History Channel video?

    With OWB 1.11 I have problems with typeface. For instance here on MorphZone, hyperlinks are not boldfaced any more. They were with OWB 1.10. Can anyone confirm?

    Time to re-open the renaming discussion! :-)

    I have a few suggestions for a starter:

    "Papillon" - Meaning butterfly in French, sounding exotic to all other languages. Also highlighting the browsers French heritage (through Fab). Butterflies travels freely, going wherever they want!

    "Papilio" - Meaning butterfly in Esperanto, sounding exotic to all other languages. Perhaps easier to pronounce correctly than the French word?

    "Rastafari" - a nudge towards its "Safari" webkit sister browser, but in a way reflecting the non-mainstream path of MorphOS. Rastafaris are going places as well, they travel light (and high)! :-P ;-)

    "Aminda" - I was looking in the Esperanto dictionary for "Amiga" just for fun, and a few lines down I found this nice-sounding word, easily pronounced by most nationalities, meaning "lovable".
    MorphOS is Amiga done right! :-)
    MorphOS NG will be AROS done right! :-)

    uh oo, seems to have a severe mem leak! I left it up all night, while working on google docs, and a few other pages, and came back to 5mb mem and a requestor regarding webkit not checking for min mem and will crash or something. It then meditated and I rebooted.

    I like Papillon, good first choice and I think others have mentioned it as well.

    Try to be more precise and isolate the exact page causing the leak.
    I tried on google docs with some random document, and it doesn't leak so far (even when active with cursor blinking). But in any case, it would be a generic webkit bug. :)

    I just came across this posting of yours:

    http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=32700&forum=28#588412

    There you say it's on Youtube. Thus I conclude it must be MP4/H264. It's really hard for me to believe you have only 40% CPU load on this with your 1.0 GHz G4. So may I once more ask you to provide a link to that specific video so that others can compare?

    This is the 3rd time you have asked me this. Dont really be a bot man. Look, i'm in San Fransico all week until Friday. When I get back to my studio I'll fire up the peg and report it...

    Look, It was late at night, I just installed owb 1.11 and was testing youtube.. I went to a doc on Ancient Aliens and could have sworn I chose 720p "hd" mode on youtube.. maybe it was 480p hd? dont know take it easy and i'll report back. Note I said 40% cpu but I really couldnt move the mouse at all or the vid would almost freeze... from what I remember..

    No, count again. It's only the 2nd time I asked you for the link to that video. And the reasons for asking a 2nd time have been that you ignored my question the 1st time and that I stumbled upon your amigaworld.net message containing some information you (despite me asking for it) omitted here (i.e. that it was on Youtube).

    > Dont really be a bot man.

    It's rather you who seem to have become a bot, programmed to call me a bot all along against all sanity and regardless of the specific situation :-P

    > When I get back to my studio I'll fire up the peg and report it

    I don't think you need your Pegasos to post the link to that History Channel video ;-)

    > maybe it was 480p hd?

    480p wouldn't be HD.

    > i'll report back.

    Looking forward to it.

    > vid would almost freeze

    Sounds really strange, and thus would be in perfect line with a 1.0 GHz G4 being able to play H264 at 720p in realtime ;-)

    It is faster - even the emo icons on the left to use in this post are there a lot quicker. Nice it takes away some frustration.

    It feels more like the os - fast.

    Noticed still a few issues. (like in google after long working time, I get where it should read like "images" I get only some blocks.

    But hey, it's moving ahead !
