Nachdem bereits davon die Rede war, das die letzte Version (8.11) wohl wirklich die letzte Version bleiben wird, da zukünftigeWebHit-Kernel die PPC-Platform nicht mehr unterstützen, ist heute ganz überraschend die Version 9.0 veröffentlicht worden - quasi ein kleines Weihnachtswunder!
Wayfarer V 9.0:
Rebased to WebKitGTK 2.46.5
Updated cURL, tasn, xml2, nghttp2 libraries

Wayfarer is back from the dead, with version 9 based on WebKitGTK 2.46.5.
Once again we're up to date with a WebKit base that's just a couple of days old. That said, this has been the worst rebase so far. I've lost hope a couple of times after trying several attempts at getting the errors fixed, including getting the code to build with older GCCs. 2.46.5 is the first release that no longer builds with GCC10, which has the unfortunate side-effect of build times increasing by the factor of 2. Not exactly helping when you're trying to fix this... In the end the main culprit was a bit of little-endian only code in the html parser that WebKit backported from Chrome.
I'm sure not all problems have been fixed, but v9 is now stable enough that I'm willing to release it to a wider audience. Report problems you see here and send any crash reports you get, please! Do keep v8 at hand in case something doesn't work or just to compare the behavior before reporting problems.
And enjoy the holidays with MorphOS
