The Lunascape Blog

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!

Lunascape 6.5.0 official version download

Thanks to all your reviews and feedback on v.6.1.0 RC. Now, an official version of Lunascape 6.1.1 is available to you!

It has an updated version of Webkit 533.3, a new smart engine selection button, better shortcut keys enforcement, 100 bug fixes and over 30 feature improvements and enhanced usability.

Here is an overview of What’s New in Lunascape v.6.1.1.

A Smart Engine Selection Button

You can now switch rendering engines more easily by using the smart engine selection button.

The button is placed right the end of the address bar for easier views, and a simple one click will rotate engines among Trident, Gecko and Webkit. You can also right-click on the button to select your preferred engine.

Change In Shortcut Key Enforcement

You can use shortcut keys for application better than ever with Luanscape v.6.1.1. It now prioritizes Application’s shortcut key enforcement first before Lunascape’s when you’re using Gecko or Webkit engines. This will allow you to use shortcut keys easier and the way you’ve wanted to with an application.

More Stability and Improvements

100 bug fixes and 33 feature improvements are made toward the release of Lunascape v.6.1.1. Some of the improvements are, auto-focus on the address bar when opening new tabs, display Gecko and Webkit version on ‘about Lunascape’ window, more edit options on tab groups, a wheel click to open a link in a new tab (Trident), a change in default settings for Ctrl+E and Ctrl+D shortcut keys, etc. For more details, please see the Release Note.

We hope you’ll like v6.1.1 better and enjoy some of the new features. Any questions and comments are welcomed. You can also visit out Support Forum to place feature requests, ask how-tos, or report any troubleshoot.
