Always new version here: http://juen.in
Early development release. Expect bugs.
Compatibility first, speed later. Work in progress.
Requirements:
- bsdsocket.library v4+ (works with IMPBOX bsdsocket.library!)
- AmiSSL v5 for HTTPS support (without that still http:// sites works fine)
Included builds:
- Amelinium - 68000 (works on all Amigas, slowest)
- Amelinium_020 - 68020+
- Amelinium_040 - 68040+
- Amelinium_060 - 68060+ (fastest, recommended for RTG)
- Amelinium_low - AmigaOS 1.3 (Kickstart 34+), no images
- Amelinium_020_JS - 68020+ with built-in JavaScript (experimental)
- Amelinium_040_JS - 68040+ with built-in JavaScript (experimental)
- Amelinium_060_JS - 68060+ with built-in JavaScript (experimental)
Known issues:
- Some CSS2.1 features not yet implemented
- Many CSS3 features not yet implemented
- JavaScript: experimental (in the _JS builds) - DOM scripting and
some of jQuery work; heavy frameworks (e.g. Google's Closure) still not
- Many pages may render incorrectly
- Slow on 68000, usable on 68030+ (faster from cache)
Keyboard shortcuts:
- Up/Down - scroll
- Shift+Up/Down - page scroll
- Space - page down
- Backspace - page up
- Esc - close
- F5 - reload

ttengine.library by Grzegorz Kraszewski (krashan@teleinfo.pb.bialystok.pl) -
high-quality TrueType rendering for AmigaOS / MorphOS / OS4.
http://amiga.pl/ttengine - used with author's permission.
Liberation Fonts (Red Hat, SIL OFL 1.1) - metric-compatible Arial /
Times / Courier replacements.
DejaVu Sans (DejaVu Fonts project, Bitstream Vera license) - used
when CSS names Verdana or Tahoma; matches their wider metrics
where Liberation Sans (Arial-metric) would be too narrow.
AmiSSL by Oliver Roberts - TLS for HTTPS.
stb_image (public domain) - PNG/GIF decoding.
TJpgDec by ChaN (BSD-style, 2021) - tiny JPEG decoder with
scale-on-decode (1/2, 1/4, 1/8). http://elm-chan.org/fsw/tjpgd/
Replaces stb_image for JPEG - same input, half the RAM and
much faster on oversized photo thumbnails.
Amiga Core Fonts for the Web (Amiga Information Center, 2000) -
bitmap fallback when TT is unavailable.
History:
0.8.0 - Optional built-in JavaScript (NodeAmiga engine), experimental.
DOM scripting, events, timers, jQuery; cookies and localStorage
from script. See jsdemo.html for a live tour.
0.7.6 - Big CSS layout-conformance pass.
Client-side image maps - clickable regions.
Smoother image downscaling on truecolor RTG.
Non-AGA fix: an own screen below 8 bitplanes.
0.7.5 - Big RTG overhaul, every depth now renders correctly:
exact text colour and images/backgrounds on 8-bit and
16-bit RTG (including alpha icons and tiled/strip
backgrounds), and crisp TTF text on 16-bit (rendered via
TTEngine coverage maps composited over the real
background - no more glitched word backgrounds). On-the-fly
screen-mode switch redraws the whole page at the new depth;
light toolbar forced on 8-bit. Forms: POST with an empty
action="" keeps the page's query string.
Disk image cache fixes: no more recoverable-guru memory
crash on chipset/AGA (interleaved-bitmap planes were
saved/loaded past their buffer); cached images now carry
the screen depth in their key, so reopening a page at a
different colour depth re-fetches instead of showing
garbled pictures.
0.7.4 - TJpgDec replaces stb_image for JPEG
with scale-on-decode (1/2, 1/4, 1/8). Parsed CSS
disk cache (cp_) - warm visits skip the full
cascade pass. Lazy off-screen image decode - only
images that land in the viewport are decoded; the
rest stay encoded until you scroll them in. Raw
image bytes cached on disk (r_) so F5 / next
visit skips the network for off-screen images.
Stage-2 fast path: keep parsed DOM + computed
styles from stage 1, re-run only layout when image
dims become known. RTG gradient one-shot
WritePixelArray, eviction skipped on RTG.
Fixes around ASL/ReqTools save dialogs.
Much faster style resolution on big pages.
0.7.3 - Alpha-mask cache (per-image, native size).
Warm-visit skips stage-1 paint
when manifest hits. Menu text uses DETAILPEN
explicitly (was washed-out gray).
Bugfixes! Find now works again...
Menu reorganization: Search, Amiga, Debug, Test.
0.7.2 - Light GUI option, triple-slot keep-alive image
cache, TTF metrics consistency fix across
TTF toggle and page nav and more
0.7.1 - Fix: TTF rendering on Workbench screen at startup
0.7.0 - TTF, GUI, many CSS3 features, and many CSS2.1
bugfixes and also new features, and also
new bugs :)
0.6.0 - Real flexbox (all directions, wrap, grow/shrink,
justify/align/order), real CSS Grid (tracks, gap,
template-areas), :before/:after content +
counter() / counter-reset, linear-gradient
backgrounds (truecolor RTG, banded chipset),
var() + CSS custom properties, :first-letter,
@media px/em/rem, border-collapse Sec.17.6.2.1
conflict resolution, , table-layout:
fixed, HTML5 auto-tbody injection, //
, cookie Max-Age/Expires, vh/vw, font:
numeric weight + lighter, ::lang(), extended
list-style-type, fixes for shrink-to-fit autotables,
inside-marker spacing, font-size quantization
0.5.3 - Local pages from disk (Work:..., PROGDIR:...,
file://...), binary file check (executables /
archives go to Save-As instead of showing),
bookmarks sidebar, prefs file with per-mode
window position/size memory, AmigaOS 4 mouse
wheel
0.5.2 - Save-As goes where you pick, position:fixed CB,
@media em units, auto-refresh etc...
0.5.1 - Download fix, pointer, faster draw
0.5.0 - HTML forms, basic table/flex/grid
layout, and many more...
