Lunascape 6.5.4 released with updated WebKit and more
It’s almost the end of the summer here in the US… Time flies, huh? We hope you had a great one in any case.
We just released newer version of Lunascape today. There are 2 new things with it. One is that WebKit engine is updated to revision 91436. The other is that “Go to URL” function is added to Highlighted Search, which you will see when you highlight some text.
These 2 new goodies don’t come straightforward, however, and we apologize for that. When you use WebKit, you may still see a message something like “your browser is out of date” in some applications. The problem is that our user agent for WebKit engine is sometime not recognized properly, and we’d have to overhaul the grammar of it. We’ll work on that in subsequent releases so that such a message won’t scare you away.
As for the change to Highlighted Search, it doesn’t appear automatically for those of you who update Lunascape from earlier versions and we’d need to ask you to do the following steps.
1. Select View - Sidebar - Settings
2. Right-click “Highlighted Search” in the Settings sidebar and select “Reset”
3. If you have changed settings such as the default search engine for this function, these settings will also be reset. Please perform your settings once again, after resetting the Highlight Search function as above.
In addition to these, we have fixed several bugs. Please check out the Release Note for details - the bug that has been annoying you might have been fixed!
The next update should come in about 3 weeks, so please stay tuned.
Pushing out another minor update - 6.5.3
Hi guys,
Just less than a week from the last update, we are delivering another minor update regarding Gecko engine. This one fixes SQLite Version Error.
When you have certain versions of sqlite3.dll in the system, Lunascape failed to start, and an “SQLite Version Error” appeared. This issue was primarily seen with Windows XP SP3 users.
We are hoping that recent updates complete fixing the quirks in Gecko engine, but if you are still having any issue, please do let us know.
You can wait for update notification, or download the latest now.
Lunascape ver 6.5.2 is out with more Gecko bug fix
Since we released version 6.5.1, we have identified more patterns that cause critical Gecko engine dll file issue. So this 6.5.2 is an additional fix for the specific problem.
This issue sometimes makes Gecko engine unusable or causes Lunascape to crash. If any of you are still experiencing such annoyance, please upgrade it to the new version so that you can enjoy Gecko engine once again.
We sincerely apologize for the trouble and will keep working at it.
Update notification will be coming to you sometime next week, but if you’d like to upgrade now, please visit the link below.
Lunascape ver. 6.5.1 Release: Gecko Updates and Bug Fix
Today, we have released version 6.5.1 of Lunascape with the Gecko engine updates to revision 1.9.2.18 (corresponding to the Firefox 3.6.18) and one occasional, but critical Gecko-specific bug fix. In some situations, the Gecko dll files failed to load when switching to the Gecko engine. This sometimes resulted in inability to browse the Web with Gecko engine, or caused Lunascape to crash. We hope those who has ecperienc3ed the issue become able to enjoy the Gecko engine by upgrading to this new version.
Lunascape ver. 6.5.0 Release: Major Webkit Update
Finally, here comes the Lunascape version 6.5.0 official release!
It has been a while since we first released the 6.5.0 beta last winter, but here we are. We have finally made it.
Unfortunately, a quick dial, one of the main features we have planned to add in this version, has been postponed to version 6.6.0., but we have made a major update on the Webkit engine (revision 80840) and fixed quite many engine-related bugs with this 6.5.0 official release. In fact, our performance with the engine has improved by 20% in speed according to the Sunspider JavaScript Benchmark. Also, we have updated the Gecko engine to revision 1.9.2.17, which is equivalent to the Firefox version 3.6.17. I am sure you will have better browsing experience with the Lunascape Webkit engine. Please give it a try to let us hear what you think!
