1476 All Out Software is pleased to announce the release of Hana 1.0.3, a specialized tabbed browser for support of web-apps, such as webmail, calendars and organization systems. Based on the built-in WebKit, Hana is a Universal Mac OS X application designed to work with any web site that supports Apple's internet browser, Safari (versions 1-3).

Hana brings order and focus to working with web-apps by stripping away all of the superfluous features of ordinary browsers, leaving the user with just the right tools to get their work done. An applications tab strip replaces the address bar and toolbar. Once a user sets up a web-app in Hana, it appears in a tab and will remain there until the user deletes or deactivates it.

What are web-apps?
A web-app is a service or web site in which a person will do something other than simply read the content. Web-apps provide a unique way for the user to communicate with others or to create, or edit content in some way. Notable uses are webmail, web calendars, photo sharing, photo editing, project management, word processing and more.

Where does one find Web-apps?
In addition to Hana's release, All Out Software has published the Web-app Directory. This directory will be community driven and collaborative, to include user submitted web-apps that Hana supports. All Out Software will also be evaluating web-apps to add to this directory as well. The Hana Web-app Directory is available online on the Hana page at the All Out Software website.

What's new?
A number of bug fixes and minor enhancements have been added to Hana. Among these are changing the tab navigation shortcuts and the back and forward shortcuts to be the same as in Safari. Also, Back and Forward commands were added to the Web-Apps menu for usage when web-apps leave the user on a page with no navigation links. The PDF printing bug was fixed and general printing was enhanced. With version 1.0.3, Hana now includes User Agents for more versions of the main browsers, including Safari 3.

Hana 1.0.3 can be purchased from the All Out Software web site and from within the application for US$19.91. The full version of Hana, including a 14 day unrestricted demo-mode is available via download from the All Out Software web site.

Hana 1.0.3 is available for Mac OS X 10.4.4 and higher, Universal Binary, and works with Safari 1-3.
