This release fixes one big security hole, which was present in all previous releases. It also solves some smaller problems, which were observed by users of version 1.65.

First testers have reported, that Arachne version 1.66 for DOS is relatively stable and usable release, so it is probably going to be official Arachne release for some time - maybe for next few months.

Meanwhile, work on implementing new features (like JavaScript or SSL) and on porting Arachne to more platforms will continue. We areo going to publish XML-based translation toolkit, which is going to simplify translation of Arachne package version 1.66 to other languaes.

Alternative binaries (CORE.EXE file) of version 1.66 for low-end DOS machines (without HiColor capable video cards and/or without any XMS memory available) are now available as APM packages, and can be obtained from Arachne for DOS download page. These alternative binaries require less conventional DOS memory than the main release.

Version 1.66 for both DOS and Linux fixes serious security bug, which is not going to be published anytime soon, so all users of older versions have enough time to upgrade their installations of Arachne. This is especially urgent for users of all alpha pre-releases of Arachne for Linux, older than 1.66 beta !

Some smaller problems which were solved in release 1.66 for DOS: deleting of cache using F8 key or desktop icons, troubles with incorrect TEMP directory definition, some layout bugs.
