Lunascape Version 6.1.6. Release: Improved Features and Bug Fixes

Here we are, Lunascape version 6.1.6 is released today! This is most likely to be the last minor updates on v.6.1.x.

As you know, we've been mainly focusing on bug fixes before going into ver.6.2.x. So, this ver.6.1.6. is yet another bug fixed version of Lunascape with some feature improvements.

One of the bugs that I am personally happy to see fixed is ...
"The strings, which were typed in the Address Bar and the Search Bar at the time of the previous shutdown, briefly reappear right after launching Lunascape."
I've been noticing my Lunascape showing the last URL I've typed in the Address Bar whenever I relaunch Lunascape. And now, it is fixed.

There are 18 bug fixes in this version. So, please update your Lunascape.

For more details, please refer to the Release Note.

Lunascape Version 6.1.5. Release : Improved Installation/Upgrade Speeds

Today, we've released another minor upgrade of Lunascape, version 6.1.5.

What's new with this version?

It is very simple this time. Lunascape ver. 6.1.5. has faster installation and update. Period. As I've said during the last version release, "Our focus now is to resolve as many open bugs as possible and to optimize speed and process before we move forward to ver. 6.2.x."

So, here we go. Optimizing speed and process of installation/upgrade of Lunascape itself. I hope we're making a good progress towards your experience of using the Lunascape browser.

Lunascape Version 6.1.4. Release: Urgent Bug Fixes

I feel like we've been releasing minor version updates of v.6.1.x pretty often nowadays and hope this is not driving you too crazy... In case if you're wondering, we will likely to have two more minor updates before going into v.6.2. And today, we're releasing ver.6.1.4 that includes some urgent bug fixes.

The major bug fix is resolving an Gecko engine specific issue, which pressing the backspace key during text inserts in a form acts as "back" to go back to a previous page in the browser. Some of you might have encountered this issue and got annoyed by it every time your typed-in form gets disappeared using Gecko engine. But it is now over, thank you for your patients waiting for the fix!

Another bug fix is resolving an issue of discoloration of words in the smart engine selection button at particular environments. Believe it or not, I've had this issue with my environments and not noticed it is a bug until I've upgraded one of my testing environments. So, I bet some of you may not know this is a bug either. To find out what's been wrong, please see the following images. Who has a word in purple?

Correct:






Our focus now is to resolve as many open bugs as possible and to optimize speed and process before we move forward to ver. 6.2.x. We hope these upgrades will improve your daily experience of using the Lunascape browser!

Lunascape Version 6.1.3. Release: Optimized Startup Speed

Yet another minor release of Lunascape is available for download today.

Lunascape ver.6.1.3 is all about optimization. We've made some changes to the source code to fine-tune the browser startup processes and increased its speed. This change should be more apparent for some of the users who are using slightly lower spec PC.

Based on our internal test, the startup speed is increased by approximately 13% compared to the last version of Lunascape v.6.1.2. This test has been conducted in the following environment.
  • OS: Windows XP SP3
  • CPU: Intel Core2Duo E6750 2.66GHz
  • Memory: 3GB
  • Graphic: ATI RADEON HD2400XT 128MB

If you've been using latest PC with high spec graphic card, you may not notice the differences. However, if you are on the low side, you should be able to feel the optimized speed at the time of the startup.

Hope you'll enjoy it.

Its release note is available from the Lunapedia.
