Re: Bolt web browser updated

Here are the features according to the forums http://boltbrowser.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48

We are pleased to announce the BOLT Beta3 release utilizing upgraded and faster WebKit4 based server. New features include significantly enhanced performance and stability; and a host of new features including support for Cyrillic language, copy-paste option, rich text formatting, and inline text editing. The significant changes in this release include the following:
  • Enhanced Favorites management – rearrange your Favorite entries using the 'Grab' feature
  • Ability to disable images in Web pages for even faster page load speeds and reduced data cost
  • Cyrillic language and font support, including extensible server-based language pack support
  • Inline text entry. This means you can type text directly into Web forms and Web pages.
  • Support for copy-paste
  • Rich text rendering with support for Bold and Italic text formatting
  • Support for Socket transfer protocol
  • Automatic detection of device security capabilities; HTTPS is disabled and BOLTs lightweight encryption is used if the device does not support HTTPS security mechanism
  • Page information dialog to view detailed information on the Web page you are viewing
  • Built-in bug reporting dialog in BOLT help
  • Non JSR-75 Build for BB platforms
  • A new RSS list dialog that categorizes feeds for easy viewing
  • Enhanced inline frame scrolling
  • BlackBerry-specific settings confirmation improvement for Preferences page
  • Improved split-screen rendering that utilizes faster and more optimized scaling algorithms
  • Improved support for file upload feature
  • Improved one click BOLT dialog scrolling
  • Improved page Stop feature
  • Improved page load speeds
In this Beta3 release, we have an additional lightweight version also available, BOLT lite that has been optimized to install and run on entry-level mobile devices with limited memory and system resources. This lightweight version retains most of BOLT's feature set. Although some of BOLT's functionality is not included in the lite version, BOLT's blazing fast download speed and PC-style layout are retained – offering fast, full-featured desktop style browsing to an even wider range of devices.
