The JPEG and PNG decoders now fully utilise the decoding improvements and optimisations from the current Warp Datatypes, which also includes AltiVec acceleration in the JPEG decoder. All the internal image decoders have been improved, with various fixes, alpha channel handling, and speed optimisations.Browser spoofing strings can now be customised in a variety of different ways with up to 128 user defined strings available in the preferences.MUI 3.8 is still supported (although we recommend 3.9 as a minimum). Integrated with new MUI 4.0 and 5.0 features, including new context sensitive mouse pointers, support for various built-in MUI menus and other new GUI additions.Support for AmiSSLv4 has been added to IBrowse 2.5, allowing the use of the most up to date SSL implementation available for AmigaOS, including TLSv1.3, based on the most recent versions of OpenSSL.

Other features include faster image rendering using hardware compositing, anti-aliased text rendering and proper daylight saving time handling. Uses the new graphics.library RTG system, dropping CyberGraphX support completely. This is not a simple port, but we have taken great care to ensure it fully utilises of all the relevant new features avaiable in OS4 and as such requires a minimum of OS4.1 Final Edition. Below is a very brief summary of the key changes since version 2.4: IBrowse 2.5 fixes many bugs, making it the most stable and fastest version yet, but more importantly brings modern SSL/TLS support and a fully native AmigaOS 4.x build.

However, we are extremely happy to finally make this new version available to all the valued users who have been waiting so patiently. After many years in the making, development has been on a roller coaster since IBrowse 2.4, with challenging personal, technical and commercial issues complicating the release schedule. Oliver Roberts and the IBrowse Team are pleased to announce the immediate release of IBrowse 2.5 for AmigaOS 3.x and 4.x. Your support is needed and is appreciated as is primarily dependent upon the support of its users.
