Stainless 0.6 has been released



Stainless is a multi-process browser for OS X Leopard. Although Stainless started out as a technology demo to showcase our own multi-processing architecture in response to Google Chrome, we've been inspired by our growing fanbase to forge ahead and craft Stainless into a full-fledged browser. In fact, Stainless now has features you won't find in Chrome or in any other browser.

A prime example is parallel sessions, which allow you to log into a site using different credentials in separate tabs at the same time. This new technology is woven throughout Stainless, from the private cookie storage system, to session-aware bookmarks that remember the session in which they were saved. We're excited to showcase what we believe is a true browser innovation.

Please note that Stainless is in early development. The current version is still lacking some features you'd expect in a production-ready browser, but that will change as we move towards a 1.0 release.

New in this version:
added: global history manager with day/search filtering, copy and delete
added: bookmark title, url, tags (for future use) and icon can be changed via the Configure contextual menu item
added: user preference for shutting down unresponsive tabs
added: new client process launcher
fixed: Stainless can get into a state where tabs will no longer open, even on relaunch/reinstall
fixed: after long sessions, it is possible for saved bookmarks to completely disappear
fixed: bookmarklets execute only if Safari 4 beta is installed
fixed: single window mode does not focus on new tabs
fixed: user agent doesn't match some sites that check for Safari (e.g. surveymonkey.com)
fixed: cookie domain security is overly strict (e.g MySpace captcha)
fixed: session-aware bookmarks maintain a live reference to cookies in the session, which can be overridden by continued use of the session
