Welcome to Voyager V3 3.5, a new release of VaporWare's Voyager V3
for classic 68k Amiga.
This release 3.5.3 Beta is built from the GPL source code release of
Voyager 3.4 made by original Voyager developer David "Zapek" Gerber,
with refactoring to fix bugs, fix the build, replace missing files
and make Voyager functional again in 2026 by amigazen project.
New in Voyager V3 3.5:
- HTTPS connections load using either AmiSSL (if installed) or
AmiTLS (included in this release package).
- Printing functionality has been completed: Print dialog, menu,
toolbar, and ARexx Print ASK; text to PRT:; graphical
printer.device bands; TurboPrint when Turboprint: is assigned.
- UTF-8 HTML, from the MIME charset or a META tag, is mapped onto
the OS3 Latin-1 charmap, including named and numeric entities
that fit Latin-1.
- The default User-Agent is Firefox 4.0.1 on Windows 7. Some CDNs
answer 403 when a Firefox-shaped agent also contains an Amiga
token. The Spoof menu can still identify as Voyager.
- No vapor_toolkit.library and no keyfile required. All
functionality is now unlocked.
- PNG alpha masks no longer crash the blit.
- Wide tables finish layout instead of hanging or corrupting
the page.
The per-version history for the limited 3.4/3.3 line and for
Voyager 3.2 and older (3.0.0 through 3.2) is in CHANGELOG.md
in the source tree (including the CVS build-log appendix):

longer apply. Historical notes can be found at Zapek's website:

A brief history of Voyager
==========================
Oliver Wagner started Voyager in 1995. David Gerber co-developed
it with him. The last boxed commercial product was Voyager 3.2
(16.4.2000). A limited 3.3 alpha / public-beta line followed
(from August 2000): new layout engine and window framework,
vertical nav panel, optional TearOff, CManager aliases in the
URL gadget, ftp. auto-prefix, HTML on HTTP 4xx/5xx, AS225
removed. Public betas 3.3.65 and 3.3.75; 3.3.126 (27.12.2002)
for 68k and MorphOS, followed with alpha releases. A short 3.4 CVS
series followed. Source to a 3.4 release was later published under
the GNU GPL by David Gerber, but did not build as-is. This 3.5 release
is derived from that code refactored into a buildable, runnable, tested release.
Requirements: MUI 3.8 (or a compatible implementation such as
mushin). A TCP/IP stack (bsdsocket.library). HTTPS uses AmiSSL when
amisslmaster.library can open AmiSSL 5.27, or the included
amitls.library otherwise. cybergraphics.library is used when
present. Tear-off panels are disabled in 3.5 due to Enforcer hits.
This release does not need vapor_toolkit.library or a keyfile, all
functionality is now unlocked.
