IEs 4 Linux 2.0 beta9
11.07.2006
IEs4Linux 2.0 beta 9 is out with some important changes and new features:
- Default now only install IE6 (IE55 and IE5 are optional)
- Full support for command-line arguments – for more info, run ies4linux –help (thanks to andrewc)
- Removed seq dependence – improves compatibility with Mac OSX and FreeBSD (thanks to Brodie)
- Official Adobe Flash Player 9 support
- New translation: Swedish
- Very alpha support for Hebrew translation (due to its right-to-left nature) – see this
Our new command-line options is very useful for automatic installations, without human interactions. It was far from being complete before beta8, but Andrew submited a very big patch to implement this (thanks a lot!). At this moment, it will be an English only feature focused on advanced users.
Maybe some new bugs were introduced on this new version, that is because it is not 2.0 final yet. Let’s try this version, fiz some bugs and release final version soon. (I would like to have full FreeBSD compatibility before 2.0 final) And you can always get an old version like beta8…
