Release date: May 21 1997.
Amaya is intended to be a comprehensive client environment for testing and evaluating new proposals for Web standards and formats.
This release should be considered as a snapshot of a work in progress. A large part of the intended features of Amaya are implemented, but some of them are not complete yet and the software is not supposed to be very robust. The user interface may change and can be improved.
