An update on Brandsonic Web for Windows and Webkit

-
I have made progress with implementing Webkit on the Windows version of Brandsonic Web. I have a functional build of Brandsonic Web for Windows that uses Webkit based on OpenWebKitSharp. However, there are still problems that prevent me from releasing it. Printing is non-functional and there is no way to implement a progress bar. I don't want to have to remove features that were in previous versions. Until a Webkit WebBrowser control is developed for Visual Basic.NET that has all the features of the stock WebBrowser control, Brandsonic Web for Windows won't use Webkit. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience.

Small update for Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS and Brandsonic Web for Mac

I am releasing small updates for both Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS and Brandsonic Web for Mac. I have updated the URL for the default homepage to it's new location . This is in preparation for the Webs shutdown that will be happening very soon. There are no new features in this release. I will also be releasing a version of Brandsonic Web for Mac that already has the Big Sur icon. The icon is the only difference, the application is unchanged. I hope to have fixed the install issues that affected certain jailbreaks with Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS with this release as well. Brandsonic Web mobile for iOS 0.10.1 has been submitted to Packix and should be available soon. Brandsonic Web for iOS 0.10.1 will be available soon on the Google Sites site.

Brandsonic Web mobile, Packix and Havoc

-
I found out on Tuesday that Packix, the repo I've been hosting Brandsonic Web mobile on since ModMyi/ModMy shut down in 2017, is shutting down too. A new repo called Havoc is its successor. I intended to move Brandsonic Web mobile there. I transferred it from Packix to Havoc. I followed all of their guidelines and submitted Brandsonic Web mobile for review and approval. This morning I woke up to an email saying that it was rejected because they are "not interested" in hosting it. I am extremely disappointed and I honestly was not expecting them to reject it. I was ready to announce that Brandsonic Web mobile had been moved to Havoc. This leaves me in an awkward position. As of now, I have nowhere to host Brandsonic Web mobile. Brandsonic Web mobile will still be downloadable from Packix indefinitely but I have nowhere to submit future versions. I will host it on my own if that's what I have to do but I chose repos like Packix so I wouldn't have to go through the h
