-What's New:
Version 5.0:

-User Interface

-Can't scroll past selected item in Network Activity
-Some page content can occasionally draw over the toolbar

Other

-Some websites have issues with their browser detection code and you may experience problems with all or parts of the various sites when using OmniWeb. To work around this, using Site Preferences (command-option-comma while on the affected site), set OmniWeb to identify as Safari using the Identity settings in the 'Other' site preference tab. The site should then work correctly once you reload the current page. The following sites are known to require this:

-Apple .Mac HomePage slideshows will not display correctly. This is a bug with .Mac and we are working with Apple to have the issue corrected.
-Hotmail.com
-Yahoo! Maps
-Links to the iTunes Music store will currently fail in OmniWeb because of some JavaScript code Apple uses to work around a bug in Safari.

-Following a recent Apple Security Update, you will no longer be able to add new applications to -OmniWeb's Safe List found in Downloads preferences until you have manually launched them at least once.
-OmniWeb is not yet comaptible with Google Gmail. We have an update planned for release after -OmniWeb 5.0 final that will bring compatibility with this site.
-Opening a PDF or Word file into a background tab when you have the PDF Browser plug-in or the Word browser plug-in installed may lead to a crash. Updating to the latest versions of these plug-ins will correct the issue. [Schubert|it]
-Postscript files are handled by OmniWeb/Mac OS X even when the PDF Browser plug-in is installed.
-OmniWeb 5.0 includes our customized versions of WebCore v85 and JavaScriptCore v85. We will be merging with the latest version of these frameworks from Apple in a future version of OmniWeb to be released after 5.0 final.
-Find does not always start at the top of the view, but rather the document
-Whitespace is not collapsed when copying text to pasteboard

Requirements:
Mac OS X 10.2 or later.
