I was trying to do something with tasks, and discovered i couldn't in ver 4.0.4 that i could in ver 4.0.b2. Then i discovered other problems. Take a look at the screen shot (i recommend FireFox) of running my modified http.e and my old news3.ex, vs the new http.e in ver 4.0.4 and the new news.e in ver 4.0.4 on:

I chose to search for "Libya" because it was an almost guaranteed hit right now. Imagine my surprise when news.e reported so many sites had no news about it. So the most egregious error is the amount of zeros shown in the new news.ex on the right, vs my news3.ex on the left. The worst showing for the task system itself, which isn't shown in a picture, is the new news.ex seems to serially put the lines on the screen, and then serially fills in the results, while mine is quite a bit more obvious that things are not happening serially or synchronously. And news3.ex opens in a dosbox that can hold the entire display, you must drag the box outline to enlarge it with news.ex.. Oh, and towards the end of the show in news.e, there's flashes of red onscreen, which is bad coding and an error.
So anyhow, there's an error in http protocol in http.e, errors of omission in http.e, and a few errors in news.ex. And i updated the urls in the hardcoding, because the redirects for the old urls weren't being followed (of course, there is no code for that). And my new3.ex window titlebar displays Euphoria and the Eu icon, the news.ex in 4.0.4 shows the dos path to cmd.exe, and i wrote no Eu code to change the titlebar.
