Release date: July 10, 1998
Amaya is intended to be a comprehensive client environment for testing and evaluating new proposals for Web standards and formats.
This release should be considered as a snapshot of a work in progress. A large part of the intended features of Amaya are implemented, but some of them are not complete yet and the software is not supposed to be very robust. The user interface may change and can be improved.
The Amaya binary distribution is available for Linux, Sun/Solaris, AIX, OSF/1, Windows (NT and 95). Users having other architectures are expected to compile the Amaya source code.
Check out the list of new features.
The W3C Position Statement on Amaya describes the planned developments for Amaya.
Between each major release, we may generate patch releases which fix important bugs.
Each a time a new release is made available, an email will be sent to the www-amaya mailing list.

Amaya can now be compiled to include Kaffe, a Java interpreter. This version, still experimental, uses the Jigsaw HTTP/1.1 Java implementation, offers a user's cache and allow to program the Thot API from Java. Unfortunately, Kaffe is still a work-in-progress and this version of Amaya can only be compiled for a limited set of platforms.
