New Bolt Browser Release - Beta 3

Today Bitstream released a new version of their free, server assisted browser, Bolt.  The new release is billed as Beta 3 and  carries version number 1.04. Details of the new features are in this press release .  Highlights include:

• Copy and paste text
• Enter and edit text directly within online text boxes
• Upload files such as videos to YouTube or pictures to Photobucket
• Order favorites and arrange them into custom folders
• Toggle between viewing websites with or without images displayed
• Rendering bold, italics, superscript and other rich text styles
• Enhanced rendering of complex web pages
• Faster page rendering
• Servers upgraded to WebKit 4
• Support for Cyrillic alphabets for languages such as Russian and Ukrainian
• A new 140 KB Bolt Lite version for low memory devices

Bitstream today also launched a dedicated support forum for Bolt at boltbrowser.com/forums/

Bolt has automatic updating, so existing Bolt users should be prompted to upgrade as soon as they open a page. New users can visit boltbrowser.com/download.html to register for the free beta and receive a download link.

I'm in the process of downloading the new Beta to my N95 and BlackBerry and will post a full review tomorrow.
