The W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) has released version 8.0 of its Amaya browser and testing tool.

In the words of the W3C, Amaya is intended to be 'a comprehensive client environment for testing and evaluating new proposals for Web standards and formats' - basically a reference platform for those wishing to officially conform to Web ways.

According to the W3C, version 8.0 features menu access keys for the Windows version and improved support for CSS (cascading style sheets), SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) and MathML. There are also a number of bug fixers, covering a number of CSS handling errors.

The full list of new features and bug fixes can be found here.

You can download Amaya binaries for Windows, Solaris and Linux from www.w3.org/Amaya/User/BinDist. The source code that makes up Amaya is available from here.
