Torch Mobile releases Iris Browser v1.1.7

[Torx]

goto options and press check for update, works wonderfully.
gonna see how this version stacks up, should be better, as if it isnt already better.

wow, i just noticed the data usage details page
and the tabs switching page, even though the 3d rendering of tab pages is a little rough, its pretty tight that its implemented into a browser.

skyfire will definately clean up their vga issue, but until then its on the backburner for me

+1 ... Agree totally, I don't ever use Skyfire anymore ... waiting for them to get their act together. By the way, the update is indeed under options, just look into preferences ... updated flawlessly. Thanks.

On a VZ6800/mogul, could open a webpage and then the second page it shuts down bc of memory issues. Looked ok, the tap and zoom was a little buggy for me. Oh well, guess Ill try it out if i get a diff phone, otherwise...skyfire is the only one that fully runs without problems.

Mogul has the lowest memory RAM of minimum specs for Iris, which may explain the memory issues. Iris will work better on devices with higher specs.

1.1.2 still doesnt play youtube videos, just the embedded flash on the main page.
havent tested it any further on other websites

Update from their blog:

Touch Pro (Fuze), Diamond Users Rejoice! (1.1.3)
Posted dateFebruary 23, 2009 Comment5 Comments

Touch Pro and Diamond users should be happy to know that we released Iris Browser 1.1.3 for Windows Mobile just moments ago. All reports indicate that our new workaround for crashes on these two devices seems to have worked! You can download it at the usual place, or use the auto-update mechanism found at the bottom of the Preferences dialog.

This release is not just for Touch Pro and Diamond users, however. It also includes many other fixes:

* Plugin (like FlashLite) interaction fixes
* Animated GIF fixes
* Re-activation of an optimization for some JavaScript intensive sites
* Many editing bugs are fixed (yes, you can blog with it again!)
* All known and reported crashes are fixed
* Improved memory management for large images
* Minor canvas improvements
* Performance improvements, including 12% faster JavaScript

We hope to keep up the pace of updates over the next month or two as we sort out the remainder of our 1.1.0 bugs.

You may have noticed that last bullet point in particular. Yes, 12% faster JavaScript. We have a blog post about this coming up in part 2 of our Under The Hood blog series.
