This is a special update of AWeb APL Lite 3.5 (version 3.5.11) for
MorphOS. It fixes the security issues reported by "piru" in
Feb 2014. Also includes a few tweek and minor bug fixes.
And AWebJS has support for sending ARexx commands to a host, so you can use it as a
standalone ARexx replacement. See the tests in the src directory for example code.
AWeb is a fast standards complient (by that I mean it complies to the standards
it supports, not that it supports all standards...) HTML4.01 browser for AmigaOS.
It has a powerful AREXX based scripting engine, and in local mode can execute
commands from with html pages. This makes it very suitable for a documentation
viewer, or GUI for a scripts etc.

INSTALLATION
AWeb 3.5 may be installed by using the Installer script

release. For a complete list in "fine detail" see the Changelog
included at the end of this document, or read the Release History
section of the on-line documentation.
CHANGES FROM 3.5.09 too 3.5.10
SUPPORT FOR SCREENS WITH COMPOSITING ENABLED
The double buffering tecnique used by AWeb broke when AmigaOS 4.1 came
out as certain assumptions about bitmaps etc were no longer valid.
In fact they were never valid and only worked by "luck".
SUPPORT FOR WINDOWS MOVED PARTLY OF SCREEN
Under AmigaOS 4.x windows can be pushed partly of screen, this broke the
layer setup code in AWeb as it inadvertantly assumed a layer would always
fit in the screen dimensions. Fixed
REMOVAL OF ASYNCIO
Asynchio is nasty. Asynchio is inefficient (unless your are using a floppy disk)
it's gone....
REMAINING ISSUES
Occasionally when scrolling a plain ext document, AWeb locks up. Still haven't got to the
bottom of that one.
