Fabien Coeurjoly has just released version 1.6 of his port of OWB. He has also released the first public version of a compatible Flash plug-in (swfdec).
Translators: Please update your translations, the developer will supply the locale archive separately.
Note: There's a known regression since r1106 (or so): maps.google.* is slightly broken (some options / buttons don't have any effect). It is a generic issue in WebKit when JIT is disabled, and it was reported to their bugtracker. Fabien will provide a new version when this is fixed.
Download Links: OWB v1.6 Full Version - Lite Edition Without SVG Support - Flash Plug In
- Updated to OWB SVN r1158.
- Added a GUI for content blocking (windows->content blocking). Regular expressions are accepted, and entries can either be white or blacklisted.
- Added "Block images from <linked domain>" context menu item for pictures.
- Save and restore the list of downloaded/finished/failed files (optional).
- Sessions now also restore scroll offset in pages.
- Added support for external transfer animations:
+ PROGDIR:resource/transferanim.png and PROGDIR:resource/transferanim_tab.png will be used if they exist.
+ The expect format is a 32bits PNG with square frames (horizontal layout). The rate is set to 30ms per frame.
- Enabled user stylesheet. PROGDIR:resource/userStyleSheet.css will be used if it exists. This user stylesheet allows changing default form controls look, for instance (amongst many other things).
- Reworked history popup list to show favicons (optionally), title and url on 2 lines.

- "Copy Image" context menu item now copies the actual image content to clipboard, instead of its URL.
