OmniWeb 4.1.1 beta 1 released

A public beta of OmniWeb 4.1.1, a native Cocoa web browser for Mac OS X has been released.



Version 4.1.1b1 adds the following:



  • Fixed a problem that prevented recent releases of the Flash plugin from working correctly in OmniWeb.

  • Support for the RealOne Plugin and Player

  • The RealOne Player is now in our list of safe applications that we'll launch to handle a file when it completes downloading. (You need to have the file associated with the correct application in Finder for this to work.)

  • Improvements to OmniWeb's HTTPS/SSL support to ensure that the browser will not connect to a domain with a security certificate that does not belong to the host. Additionally, OmniWeb will check the authenticity of all security certificates along the chain to ensure that they are all valid.

  • Fixed an incompatibility with Mac OS X 10.2 which affected hostname lookups (contacting websites)

  • OmniWeb 4.1.1 beta 1 includes a Swedish localization courtesy of Peter Baeckstr‡m, a Finnish localization courtesy of Teemu Masalin, and an updated Traditional Chinese localization courtesy of Julian Lee.



It also feels quite a bit faster than previous versions - and OmniWeb was already one of the fastest web browsers for Mac OS X.
