What to expect? Please note that HighWire is not yet a complete browser! It does however offer limited form support and can be used online with either MiNTnet, STiK and IConnect. The current release offers caching for documents as well as images. Supported image formats are gif (not animated yet), jpg and png.

HighWire has already reached a state where it is quite useable for basic browsing needs, but still lacks important things as cookies, javascript and more.
