CODEBASE TIMELINE

Amaya is a direct descendant of the Grif WYSIWYG SGML editor created by Vincent Quint and Irène Vatton at INRIA in the early 80's, and of the HTML editor Symposia, itself based on Grif, both developed and sold by French software company Grif SA.

Originally designed as a structured text editor (predating SGML ) and later as an HTML and CSS editor, it was then expanded to include XML capabilities such as XHTML , MathML and SVG .

Amaya displays Free and Open Image Format s such as PNG and SVG , as well as a subset of SVG animation.


A ''TEST BED'' APPLICATION

It is used today as a test-bed for new web technologies that are not yet supported in major browsers. However, being developed by the W3C primarily as a testbed, rather than as reference software, this combination of a browser and editor has poor of the Wikipedia Main page.

The browser is available to Unix , Linux , Windows , Mac OS X and other platforms.

The latest release is Amaya 9.55, which was released on July 10 2007 .


KNOWN BUGS


Amaya 9.54 may not run on many Windows XP systems for unknown reasons. As of 9.55, Amaya can not be installed on Windows Vista.
Similarly, on some Linux systems, Amaya crashes at startup Debian bug report , because of some graphical libraries. It seems that the upgrade to wxWidgets 2.8.4 solves the problem.
