Skyfire Updated to 1.1 for Performance Improvements 8/24
 

At least we can continue to look for updates from Skyfire (RIP Iris Browser).
Get latest version here.
I've also uploaded the cab below.

New in 1.1:

• Improved page load times. For sites that take a long time to load, we updated our algorithm to bring you the content much quicker.
• Improved scrolling and zooming on Symbian. This is a much faster and smoother experience now.
• Improved reconnect. Skyfire will show clearly when you can start interacting with the web page in case it previously timed out and disconnected (to save battery life).
• WML support. If you are browsing to mobile sites that use the old mobile WML markup, you can now view the content.
• Improved mobile website support. Mobile.* websites are now rendered automatically as mobile with the exception of mobile.yahoo.com since it is a PC site.
• Page up/down navigation via short-key: You can use now ‘2’ and ‘8’ to easily navigate one page up or down. Great for reading articles. Now the short-key for invoking the Superbar is ‘*’. Please note that on some devices with a non-standard keyboard layout, short-keys may behave differently since this is phone specific.
• Updated Plug-ins: For Flash, Silverlight and QuickTime we have the newest versions to give you more compatibility with more sites.

op, skyfire has a auto update feature also, probably why no replys to thread.

Their auto-update fails to inform people right away and i know there are others that feel the same way. In fact, I had to download it through get.skyfire because it did not prompt me. I always end up finding out elsewhere before i'm ever prompted through the browser. I'm sure i'm not the only one who wants to know about it before finally getting prompted.

Also, not all of us use skyfire enough to learn through the browser or even have it installed in the first place - hence the 16 downloads so far. Thanks tho.

I for one appreciate the post. I did not have skyfire installed because the load time were slow in my slow evdo area (victoria, bc,canada) but this version loads much faster. Thanks! =D>

No replies? Give the OP a break. He only posted this yesterday.

I dont think Darren was gettin on the guy. I believe his point was that in the past, a thread like this would have been alot bigger (possibly huge), but with an autoupdate feature, there may be less posts or views.

Auto updater doesn't work for me. Add and follow Skyfire on your Twitter and you'll get the update link whenever there are new updates. This works for me :mrgreen: .
