Sunrise XP shares the download cache and cookie store with Internet Explorer. You can manage the cache and cookies through "Internet Options" in Control Panel. To access login-based sites, log in to the site through Internet Explorer, making sure the cookies are saved, then switch to Sunrise XP and check "Send cookies..." on the Advanced tab of the Document Properties. (This is disabled by default.) You don't have to use IE as your main browser, only for obtaining login cookies. The advantage of the IE integration is that cookies are updated automatically, just as if you visited the site through the browser. (The cookies.txt support in Sunrise was read-only, leading to expired logins if you hadn't visited a site through the browser for some time.)

Support for non-Western language encodings (Central-European, Cyrillic, Chinese, Japanese) has not been tested. Actually I cannot test it since I can't read any language in these encodings. Windows-1252 encoding (the default Palm character set) does work. Shift_JIS and Big5 might also work since the Tidy HTML parser is supposed to support these as well. Other encodings like KOI8-R and Windows-1250 might not work. The document output encoding is based on the language you select for the document.

Plucker document support is equal to Sunrise. I did rewrite the entire Plucker creation engine in C++, but chose not to support newer Plucker features, like tables, because I didn't feel it would be worth the effort.
