IBrowse 2.5.7a hotfix

[Oliver Roberts]

Due to a couple of bugs that were discovered when IBrowse 2.5.7 was
released, a hotfix is now available for download via updated release
archives (OS4 users may use AmiUpdate to apply the fix). Anybody who
downloaded IBrowse 2.5.7 before 2330 UTC on 5th November is strongly
advised to update their installation using the new update.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Still crashing on OS 3.2.1 on that url on my previous attachment.  It's still functional after, like ibrowse is not dead.

I reverted back to IBrowse 2.5.6 to test that URL and it does not crash.

[Oliver Roberts]

Is it http://www.apollo-core.com/gfx/gold215.jpg that is crashing? I
can't seem to get it to crash here on OS3 or OS4 :(

[Darren Eveland]

I think so, yes. I'll try on another machine to see if I can
replicate it (another os 3.x) machine.

ok it doesn't crash on my Amiga 2000 with Vampire and CoffinOS R58.
But that's an entirely different setup than my Amiga 4000 with
Cyberstorm MK3/060 and OS 3.2.1 roms. And probably different
datatypes, although IBrowse is likely defaulted to use internal
decoding, correct? I may have WarpDT installed on that machine. I'll
check, but it should be moot if IBrowse is using internal routines for
decoding jpegs.

I do notice a difference between the A2000/Vampire and my A4000. On
my A4000, where it crashes, it tries to progressively decode the jpeg
on the fly. On my A2000/Vampire, it loads the image and shows a small
"Loading", then "decoding" place holder image until it's finished
decoding, then it displays the image.

[Oliver Roberts]

Ok, so this means you are using the internal JPEG decoder on your
A4000 and the external/datatypes JPEG decoder on your A2000.

Which led me to the bug, which is related to the swap for the JPEG
decoder. The crash will go away if the memory limit is set to "No
limit". However, working on a fix for this asap.

Hello Oliver,

thank you for still develope IBrowse.

With IBrowse 2.5.6 and 2.5.7a I have problems downloading the update (Error 404 file not found).

When I go to the download page and place the mouse pointer over the download link, the status bar shows
"http://www.ibrowse-dev.net/resources/IBrowse2.5.7-020+.lha"
but the bubble help shows
"http://www.ibrowse-dev.net/resources/IBrowse2.5.7-020%2B.lha".

There are different links in the status bar and in the bubble help, see attached screenshot.

If I click on the link, the download link from the bubble help is used and fails. If I change "%2B" to "+" then the download works.

Regards
Frank

I can't download
http://www.ibrowse-dev.net/resources/IBrowse2.5.7-PPC.lha

I get error 404:
Not Found

The requested URL was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Sorry - I decided to pull the releases again, whilst I investigated the crash
bug that Darren reported. It took a little longer than planned, but this has
now been fixed and the download should now be available again via AmiUpdate
and the website.

[Oliver Roberts]

Have now fixed this bug too - fortunately, it was isolated to the
internal JPEG decoder, when it tried to use swap space (if enabled in
the settings).

[Javier Rivas]

ok no problemo. keep the good.work mate

Should now be available again (had to fix something else, so had
pulled the updates just in case!).

Yes, it is actually %2B in the URL in the HTML source, which is the
escape code for '+'. Thanks for mentioning this though, as it probably
should get unescaped before being shown in the bubble help (I see it
is unescaped in the info window too). Something for 2.5.8 :-)

Hmmm... it probably shouldn't have (I must have forgotten to purge the
"+" URL from the Cloudflare cache). Be sure to download and install
again if you managed to download the old version using the above
method earlier.

I just tried to load that image on my A1200 / 060 OS32.1, latest AmiSSL & IBrowse. I tried it with internal image loading and external image loading.

It worked both ways.

Yes thanks all. It looks like Oliver did indeed fix this - I used
2.5.7 (with the latest download) last night and it worked fine.
