OmniWeb 5.5 beta goes public

Finally, after dealing with a wait no individual should ever have to endure, The Omni Group has blessed us with the official public beta release of OmniWeb 5.5 (unlike the semi-private "public" release in April). According to the OmniWebsite, the app includes the following enhancements:
  • OmniWeb is now a Universal Binary!
  • OmniWeb now supports saving in the WebArchive format via the "Save As..." panel.
  • There is now a global and site preference for user defined style sheets in the Appearance pane.
  • Toolbars in OmniWeb now use the Unified Toolbar.
  • A warning will now appear when you try reloading a page using POST.
  • When loading a workspace containing POST pages, the page will display an error but can be reloaded to rerequest the page.
It also includes a slew of other fixes and tweaks. And since it's still a fledging beta, it of course has some kinks to work out -- though I've been using it all day and have yet to experience anything funny. Regardless, OmniWeb is still my favorite browser -- and now that it's Universal I can finally use it comfortably.

Tip of the Day

To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
