OmniWeb 5.5 beta 4 is now available

Today we released OmniWeb 5.5 beta 4:

	<http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omniweb/download/beta/>

We're hoping to release the final version of 5.5 next week, so we're  
expecting this to be our final public beta release.  We know that  
there are still a few features missing that we used to have in  
OmniWeb 5.1, but overall 5.5 is such a big improvement over 5.1 that  
we think it's time to encourage all our customers to start using it.   
(After this final beta, that is!)

Release notes for beta 4 follow.  Enjoy!

     value is 180 seconds (3 minutes).
        * Be aware that the granularity of this preference isn't
          as fine as we would like. Setting it to '1' will not
          cause pages to immediately time out, for example.

     any tasks that are unwanted.
