Current Release Voyager V3 3.5.3 GitHub About Voyager V3 3.5 Voyager is one of the classic Amiga web browsers of the late 1990s, alongside IBrowse and AWeb. Oliver Wagner’s VaporWare started it in 1995 with David “Zapek” Gerber co-developing with him. It is a MUI application with an HTML 3.2 layout engine (with work in progress HTML 4 features), a JavaScript 1.3 / ECMA-Script bytecode compiler and interpreter, a plugin API, and HTTPS through a VSSL plugin: voyager_ssl_amissl.vlib is used when AmiSSL is installed, but if AmiSSL is not available, the plugin voyager_ssl.vlib will instead use AmiTLS.library, a new TLS implementation built around BearSSL, also from amigazen project. The original code also targeted the ‘Metabox CaOS’ set top box device, and MorphOS. This version 3.5 restoration targets the classic 68k SAS/C line for Amiga only, but the source code retains support for those build configurations. The last widely shipped commercial release was Voyager 3.2 (16 April 2000). An alpha release 3.3 followed in August 2000. The source in this tree is derived from the later “3.4” GPL drop (copyright through 2003, with CVS timestamps into 2004–2005) released by David Gerber in 2024. This project’s aim is to take that GPL tree and produce a Voyager that: • Builds with SAS/C against the ToolKit standard for Amiga SDK configuration • Runs again on classic 68k Amiga as a Workbench application • Talks to current TCP/IP stacks via bsdsocket.library • Loads HTTPS using a VSSL plugin backed by modern SSL libraries rather than the historical OpenSSL 0.9 tree Fixes required to compile, link, start, layout, draw, network, and exit cleanly are in scope. New in Voyager V3 3.5 • HTTPS via AmiSSL (if installed) or AmiTLS (included in the release package). • Printing completed: Print dialog, menu, toolbar, and ARexx Print ASK; text to PRT:; graphical printer.device bands; TurboPrint when Turboprint: is assigned. • UTF-8 HTML (MIME charset or META) mapped onto the OS3 Latin-1 charmap, including named and numeric entities that fit Latin-1. • Default User-Agent is Firefox 4.0.1 on Windows 7. Some CDNs answer 403 when a Firefox-shaped agent also contains an Amiga token. The Spoof menu can still identify as Voyager. • No vapor_toolkit.library and no keyfile required. All functionality is now unlocked. • PNG alpha masks no longer crash the blit. • Wide tables finish layout instead of hanging or corrupting the page. • The GPL 3.4 source from David Gerber has been refactored to replace missing files, fix build errors and compile with the latest NDK 3.2 for classic Amiga. See CHANGELOG.md for the full 3.5.3 change log and the historical VaporWare Voyager 3.x changes. HTML Standards Support Zapek documented Voyager as HTML 3.2, with later tags marked +.

Remaining gaps for an HTML 4 generation browser are the No rows above: no CSS, no DOM tree, no try/catch, no XMLHttpRequest. Voyager can append JavaScript errors to JSERROR.LOG in the program drawer when that preference is enabled. Roadmap The last public VaporWare boxed product release was Voyager 3.2 in 2000. A limited 3.3 line followed in CVS (public betas, then 3.3.126 / MorphOS), then 3.4.x. Source was later published under the GNU GPL by David Gerber. Version 3.5.3 is the current public amigazen project release. It is derived from that GPL tree. The goals are: • Ensure Voyager can be built with supported SDKs (SAS/C, NDK, MUI, CyberGraphX, ToolKit) • Make the application run from start to finish correctly including loading and rendering web pages, and allowing application preferences to be changed • Replace runtime dependencies that cannot be satisfied in 2026 (keyfile / vapor_toolkit.library checks, Miami and MiamiSSL) • Package a Workbench drawer with binaries, MUI classes, plugins, certificates, and documentation • Keep behaviour aligned with Voyager 3 as users knew it Frequently Asked Questions What is the aim of this Voyager project? The GPL release of that code was a generous act. However, the tree as originally published did not build or run out of the box with standard Amiga tools. The job of this Voyager 3.5 release is to restore Voyager V3 so it can be compiled, installed, and used again, with some maintenance also possible. Does this Voyager work on Workbench 3.1, 3.5 or 3.9? The 3.5.3 68k build is aimed at classic Amiga with MUI 3.8 (or compatible MUI implementations). It needs bsdsocket.library for network access. cybergraphics.library is also supported when present. Tear-off control panels from Voyager 3 are disabled in this version 3.5 because TearOffPanel.mcc is not clean of Enforcer hits and the source code is not available for maintenance. Will Voyager support modern websites? No more than Voyager 3 ever did. HTML5, CSS3, WebAssembly, WebGL, and the Chromium/WebKit/Gecko engines are a different class of software. Classic Amiga Voyager remains a 1990s / early-2000s browser. Sites that still speak that dialect — including many Amiga sites and archive/proxy services — are the intended target. What happened to VaporWare Voyager after 3.2? Voyager 3.2 was the last full public product release (16.4.2000). Development continued in CVS; the GPL sources in this repository are that later tree. Historical notes remain on zapek.com. VaporWare automatic software updates and keyfile infrastructure dependencies have been removed in order to make this 3.5 release standalone and available to all. Does Voyager work with MUI alternatives like Zune? Voyager relies on certain undocumented functions and internal data structures of MUI that mean it will fail on alternative MUI implementations such as AROS Zune. The only MUI implementation Voyager works with apart from the original MUI 3.8, is mushin also by amigazen project. This fork of Zune, intended for use on classic Amiga, has been specially modified to use the same internal data structures and undocumented APIs that Voyager depends upon. Will this version be available for OS4, AROS or MorphOS? The GPL tree already contains MorphOS conditionals. The first priority is a stable classic 68k SAS/C build. Native ports can be revisited once that line is solid. A 68k binary may run on OS4 in emulation the same way other 68k MUI software does. Can I contribute to the new Voyager? Yes please! Whether code, testing or translations and documentation, all contributions are welcome and will remain free and open source in the spirit and letter of the LICENSE.md. See also CONTRIBUTING.md.
