For the full list of new features and improvements, please read the What's New page.

JExplorer 1.9, last before major release

IgorShvydkoy — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 13:44:00 GMT

JExplorer 1.0 was released back in early November 2004 and it has changed a lot over 3 years. And although we haven't reached the major version 2.0 so far, we are not after higher version numbers. Our goal is to give JExplorer users stability and good features instead. This release is a case in point.

Today we believe JExplorer is a complete software development tool providing a wide set of useful features to its users. This release introduces new ways to efficiently control and manage the Internet Explorer browser component. Flexible proxy configuration and browser cache management are among the recent changes.

New functions were added to the demo application and the documentation was updated appropriately.

With version 1.9 rolled out, it's clear that the next step will be an even version number. The release of JExplorer 2.0 is scheduled for the first quarter of the next year. So stay connected.

Just a reminder. All JExplorer users can upgrade to version 1.9 for free.
