The Lunascape Blog

Hi guys,

Whew, what a day! We just released Lunascape 6.0 as official /stable version.

Many of you have helped us improving the product by trying out test versions and giving us feedback. Without your help, we could not make it. Thank you, thank you, and thank you.

We hope you enjoy the new Triple Engine + Triple Add-on Lunascape.  Please upgrade soon, as support for ver 5 will end shortly.

As you know, we won’t stop here. Keep coming with good suggestions!

Hi guys,

We hope you are enjoying test-drive of our new Lunascape 6.0!

Thanks to your input, we have fixed 57 bugs so far and released it as Beta 2. If you’d like to get the latest, please make sure to download it at our website.

Users of international versions other than English, please wait for a little bit more to get beta version. We are working on the catch-up translation right now.

And please keep giving us feedback so that we can incorporate that into the official release!

Thanks for your help.

Hi guys,

Thanks for all the wait. Today we released our new product Lunascape 6 ORION as test versions. For English it’s a beta and for other languages, alpha version is available for download.

With this version, Lunascape goes beyond the Triple Engine and adds Triple Add-on support, achieving the greatest degree of extensibility and flexibility among Web browsers.

Many of you have asked for compatibility with Firefox add-ons and now you have it! You can now utilize the vast array of add-ons for Firefox in addition to IE add-ons and Lunascape plug-ins, in a single platform.

Transferring your existing Firefox add-ons is easy and adding new ones to Lunascape is intuitive. And we have added a smart add-on organizer as a “gecko toolbar” so that you can manage add-ons easily with no clutter.

Other new features include:

• New interface design (Orion) - sleek, simple, and easy to use
• Split tab display - you can view a website in 3 engines side-by-side (hooray for web designers and developers!)
• Sidebar 2.0 - The floating sidebar can handle multiple sidebar add-ons (e.g. minimap) at a time (only from beta) and can be separately displayed anywhere including another monitor.

And, we are happy to tell you that we did a major catch-up with WebKit functionalities (for beta)! The included Gecko revisions are 1.9.1.4 for beta, 1.9.1.3 for alpha. And WebKit revisions are r50048 for beta and r47762 for alpha.

Oh, what’ up with the name ORION? We picked this codename after the constellation (you know the one with 3 ‘belt’ stars surrounded by bright 4 stars) as a symbol of unifying four major browsers into a single platform through triple engines and triple add-ons.

Please check here for more details and if you’d like to dig in nuts and bolts, check out the Release Notes.
Try it out and let us know what you think. (Don’t worry - you can use Lunascape 5 and 6 on the same machine)

Reminder: This is a test version release to get your feedback to further develop the product. It may contain significant bugs, so please use it with caution and help us by reporting issues at Support Forum.
