Long:

Voyager NG 2.70 is a full featured WWW Browser.

Note that this is the so-called "USA" version of the V-NG archive.  Due to
US patent laws, it comes without internal SSL support and internal GIF
decoding.  Non-US citizens can get the international version from
http://www.vapor.com/.  US-citizens can use the MiamiSSL library provided
with Miami 2.1 to get SSL support. Miami is available from
http://www.nordicglobal.com/.

Major changes to Voyager since Version 1.0:

· Supports Frames as introduced by Netscape 2.x.

· Supports Secure Socket Layer SSL encrypted
  http transfers ("https:" scheme). Uses full
  strength 128 bit encryption. Can use the MiamiSSL
  library provided with Miami 2.1 to support SSL
  even for US citizens.

· Uses internal image decoding routines for JPEG, GIF (non-USA
  version only) and PNG. Visually incremental on-the-fly image decoding, 
  leaving the program operational during decode. No more hassle with
  datatypes related bugs. Optimized memory usage. The routines are
  optimized for speed and are very fast. Full support of
  CyberGFX and Picasso 96 HiColor/TrueColor screens.

· Supports HTML tables. Many more HTML commands 
  and Netscapism's are understood (including FONT SIZE and
  HR WIDTH). Improved general compatibility with broken
  and nonstandard HTML code.

· Supports versatile plugin interface for vanilla
  extensions

· Shipped with a web search engine plugin

· Supports T/TCP "TCP for Transactions" requests,
  allowing for much faster establishment of HTTP links
  to servers. This is currently supported by
  Miami 2.x only. Specified in RFC 1644. As far as 
  we know, Voyager is the first browser on any 
  platform supporting this!

· Totally reworked preference setting. The transfer anim is 
  now configurable, too.

· Supports Shift & Click downloading of files even from
  servers with broken configuration which state
  that binary data is of type "text/plain" (which
  happens frequently with .lha and .lzx files,
  because these suffixes are missing in many
  http server example mime.types files)

· Popup menus for links offering link specific options.

· Added internal SMTP send capability. Also
  supports mailto: forms now. Improved news
  handling.

· Many minor enhancements, and of course
  All The Popular Bugs were fixed, too.
