  • OmniWeb now supports saving in the WebArchive format via the "Save As..." panel.
  • There is now a global and site preference for user defined style sheets in the Appearance pane.
  • Toolbars in OmniWeb now use the Unified Toolbar.
  • A warning will now appear when you try reloading a page using POST.
  • When loading a workspace containing POST pages, the page will display an error but can be reloaded to rerequest the page.

The release notes describing all of the changes, including bug fixes and new features, are available from this OmniGroup Web page.
