I really like these ones… really smart.

If the user clicks anchor links (#xyz) which scroll the document to a certain location within the same document, iCab will now hilite the link target with a transparent bar so that it can be found more easily. This feature can be switched of in the iCab Preferences (panel "Web Content > Page Display").

- There's a new menu item in the Tools menu: "Cache Browser". The Cache Browser allows to inspect the current content of the Web Cache (this was also possible in older versions of iCab, but less comfortable). There're several ways to display the cache content:

List View:
The content is listed with information about URL, file type, dates, file length. Some checkboxes allow to exclude or include certain file types in the list, so the list will include only the data you're looking for. A special "download" link allows to easily "download" (save) a file from the cache into the download folder.

Image View:
All the images that are in the web cache are displayed as thumbnails. From here it is easy to save the images to disk via Drag&Drop or the contextual menu.

Audio, Video, Flash View:
All the Audio, Video or Flash files in the cache are listed. A "download" link allows to easily download (save) the file. A "preview" link allows to preview the file (if possible without the HTML code where the file was embedded originally)

Well, with this latest update though I'm getting serious lag issues just switching tabs. For a while we were flying through betas almost weekly, now it's like this one drops out of the sky...but there's still bugs.

iCab is kicking butt in the features, but it needs some optimization...or something. Loading pages sometimes still lock it up.

Don't get me wrong, I've registered it since 2.4.7 or thereabouts, and use it daily...but it's just not "there" yet.
Please keep in mind the ambiguously selective general understandings we've all agreed upon...
