After quite a long hiatus, a new version of the Atari webbrowser Highwire has been released in version 0.5.0.
The release notes from their website:
This is the first HighWire in a very long time, and it carries roughly a year of work. The headline is SSL/TLS support through Mbed TLS (TLS 1.2 and 1.3), so you can finally reach the secure HTTPS web from your Atari. Alongside it: tabbed browsing, a single modern toolbar in place of the old GEM navigation, settings, fonts and cache moved out of dialog boxes into real pages you can read and edit, a proper DOM tree underpinning layout, CSS Grid and Flexbox, downloadable web fonts, and SVG and WebP images.
System requirements for Highwire 0.5.0 (snipped from Highwire website as well):
- 68030 or faster CPU; a 68060 is strongly suggested.
- A Speedo-capable GDOS โ SpeedoGDOS, NVDIย 3+, or fVDI.
- A MiNT-net or STiK/STinG stack (modules included).
- Plenty of free ST and TT RAM โ modern pages are large.

Highwire 0.5.0 in Falcon standard 640*480 VGA resolution, Atariscne want more pixels!

Looking forward to a new duel of FaSTEr racing next time we ...
