On August 11, 2004, the Omni Group released version 5.0 of OmniWeb which included a number of new features. In February 2003, the Omni Group adopted Apple's KHTML-based WebCore rendering engine, which was created by Apple for its Safari browser. However, the engine was not fully compatible with all of the most recent web standards, such as Cascading Style Sheets. OmniWeb originally employed its own proprietary HTML layout engine. It uses Quartz to produce images and smooth text, it will use multiple processors if available, and features an interface that makes use of Aqua UI features such as drawers, sheets and customizable toolbars.
Omniweb 5.6 mac os x#
OmniWeb is developed using the Cocoa API which allows it to take full advantage of Mac OS X features. From version 4.0 onwards, OmniWeb has been developed solely for the Mac OS X platform. After Lighthouse Design was bought by Sun Microsystems, the Omni Group released the product themselves, from version 2.5 onwards. OmniWeb also briefly ran on Microsoft Windows through the Yellow Box or the OpenStep frameworks. As NextStep evolved into OpenStep and then Mac OS X, OmniWeb was updated to run on these platforms. OmniWeb was originally developed by Omni Group, and was released by Lighthouse Design for the NextStep platform on 17 March 1995 after only one month's development time.
