Iris Browser 1.1.8 for Windows Mobile

Iris Browser 1.1.8 for Windows Mobile is now available for download.  1.1.8 includes more fixes and improvements than any release since 1.1.0.  Among them:

  • Improved graphics performance
  • Faster networking and loading of local files
  • Improved memory usage
  • Improved asynchronous behavior while loading pages
  • Support for the W3C Geolocation API
  • Support for HTML5 SQL databases and client side storage
  • Rendering improvements, including for <canvas>
  • CSS transformations and effects
  • Improved Thai support
  • Right-to-left language fixes
  • Many general bug fixes

As usual, 1.1.x releases contain no UI fixes but we’re approaching the last of the major 1.1.x updates before we focus on 1.2.0 beta.

Update: We’ll post the new registry keys shortly for enabling some of the new features.  By default they’re turned off for privacy reasons.
