Yes, 2.1 BETA 2 was the last issue which was publically available.
In 1999 Lineo renamed DR-WebSpyder to Embrowser and they
have made the SDK available for download. I have no idea,
if this is still being further developed...

Personally I like the "skin" of DR-WebSpyder 2.1 BETA 1/2
and I still use it quite often, but apart from this, Arachne appears
to be more mature now.
