Important! Since Build #822, the activation process has been changed to better support non-admin cases. Therefore, when you install Build #822 (or above) over Build #820 (or below) you need to retrieve a new Activation Code from your User Area. It is important to clarify that this action does NOT reduce the remaining Activation Codes of your existing license.

Hello everyone!

We wanted to inform you that we have released the latest version of AllWebMenus - version 5.3 build 826!

Check out what's new in this version:

- Added some GUI enhancements regarding sliding groups.

- The application now remembers the height of the "Style Preview" window when it closes and opens again.

- Fixed an IE8 issue where the menu positioned itself one pixel more to the left.

- Fixed an issue with sliding groups and scrollbar: a sliding group was higher than it should be when it had a scrollbar.

- Fixed an issue with groups that had at least one "Has Submenu Image" on their items. The width of the items that did not have the "Has Submenu Image" was not calculated properly and in some cases the overall width of the group was shorter than it should be.

- Fixed an IE8 issue with "Unfolding 1 and 2" effects causing an error if no doctype was declared on the page.

- Fixed an Opera issue where a sliding menu was not shown properly if its "Appears" or "Disappears" property had a special effect ("Unfolding 1 and 2").

- Fixed an Opera issue where the width of a vertical menu was wider than expected when a "Has Submenu Image" was used on its items.

- Fixed an issue where the GUI didn't permit the use of a hyphen "-" in a menu name.

Important! The activation process has been changed to better support non-admin cases. Therefore, when you install Build #822 (or above) over Build #820 (or below) you need to retrieve a new Activation Code from your User Area. It is important to clarify that this action does NOT reduce the remaining Activation Codes for your license.

On March 19, Microsoft has officially released the Final version of its new Internet Explorer 8 browser.

On March 20, we released a minor update (Build 768.3) of the AllWebMenus Web Menu Maker which fixes some issues caused by differences between the IE8 Final version and its Release Candidate.

Today (March 23), we released another minor update (Build 768.4) that fixes some newly reported issues occurring on rare configurations.

Note that IE8 Final version is not bug-free and Microsoft will continue to release patches in the near future. We will keep a close eye on their patch releases and will act immediately if a minor update in AllWebMenus javascripts is required.

You may download the latest version of AllWebMenus from www.likno.com/download.html (or from your Likno User Area account).

Install it, recompile your menus and upload to your server the updated menu file AND the –also updated- awmdata folder that contains the new javascript libraries that fully support IE8 Final.

-----
Note: AllWebMenus supports IE8 since its BETA phases. In particular, the Release Candidate version (RC1) is supported since Build 764 (Feb. 16).

Microsoft has recently released the RC1 version of its new Internet Explorer 8 browser.

The new version 5.1.764 of the AllWebMenus Web Menu Maker has included several fixes that deal with issues related to the changes made in this new IE8 browser.

If you do not want to wait for the final release of IE8 (recommended), you may download the latest version of AllWebMenus from www.likno.com/download.html (or from your Likno User Area account), install it, recompile your menus and upload to your server the updated menu file AND the –also updated- awmdata folder that contains the libraries – and also the fixes.

We are continuously testing the AllWebMenus application with all updates of the IE8 BETA; however some issues are still present under specific conditions and the Microsoft team is working on resolving them (see a list of IE8 BETA bugs here: http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/MSIE8Bugs/ )

When the IE8 browser is officially released, these BETA-related issues will not be affecting your menus, unless Microsoft does not fix its own bugs!

Read below how Microsoft treats IE8 and the problems we all may face if action is not taken by Microsoft:
