Lunascape ver. 6.5.0 Release: Major Webkit Update

with one comment

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!

leave a comment »

The latest Japanese version of Lunascape was released in Japan on January 27th, boasting breakneck speeds, lower CPU usage, and higher overall stability. In general, over 30 new features and bug fixes were added.

Do you care about speed? If so, this release is for you. And, yes, you’ll need to be able to read some Japanese, too. But never fear. The global version, meaning the version in English, is right around the corner. You can test the alpha version here. (http://www.lunascape.tv)
For now, consider this a taste of what’s possible.
For Javascript, when using the Gecko engine in Lunascape5.0 rc, compared with either Firefox3.1Beta2 or Google Chrome2.0.157.2, Lunascape comes out ahead as shown in the following SunSpider Javascript Benchmark test. The benchmark was conducted on January 23, 2009, Windows Vista Enterprise SP1, HDD 60GB, Intel Celeron M processory 420 (1.60 GHz) with 1GB of memory.
