Herwig has not been able to contribute for personal reasons for a long time. Silvan Scherrer runs 2 other companies next to bww bitwise works and does the OS/2 work as a labour of love. The first is because only three people work at bww bitwise works. Updates to the OS/2 community have not been sent out for a number of reasons. Let me first of all say that it has taken too long to send the OS/2 community an update informing you what the status is of the new Qt WebKit based Otter browser. Why Otter Browser status updates were not published over the last couple of months This is currently *expected* to take 1 month to 6 weeks of development.Īfter the Dooble browser works stable enough the plan is to return to Otter Browse port as this browser support more features. The Dooble browser will be used for this. The plan is to resolve the most frequent crashes and issue's with the Webkit browser engine. We also there for want to receive donations from you: So the development of the new browser port will resume. Writing this update on the 5th of August, Dmitriy will get settled in an appartement in the European Union in the coming days. BTW a big thanks is extended to Elbert Pol, Stevene Levine and Gregg Young for helping Dmitriy getting the Dooble browse out in an RPM package. We also found it to be more stable then the Otter Browser port. The Dooble browser was also picked because it was faster at loading pages then the Otter Browser port. It was unknown how long Dmitriy would be busy moving to the European Union. We however put this on hold because we wanted to release something sooner (with the limited human resources we had). It was orginally promised that the Otter Browser port would be used. In April OS/2 VOICE and BWW released the Dooble browser preview as an RPM file you can install via ANPM (Arca Noae Package Manager). This made it mostly impossible to work on the Otter or Dooble Browser. And now moved to a country inside the EU. Over the last couple of months Dmitriy moved to another country outside the E.U. Like other Russians Dmitriy has decided to leave Russia as soon as possible after the war started.

Dmitriy opposes the illegal invasion and the war by Russia in Ukraine. The development of the Otter browser port has been delayed by months for the time being because the developer Dmitriy Kuminov from Bitwise Works GmbH lived in Russia. The illegal Russian invasion of Ukraine on the 24th of February and war that followed has sadly delayed the development of the new browser by months. The last written OS/2 VOICE update about the new web browser for OS/2 and ArcaOS on was published on the 13th of February 2022.
