MorphOS: Web browser Wayfarer 2.0
Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek's web browser Wayfarer is now available in version 2.0. Reason for the version leap is change of the browser's core: Now Wayfarer is based on the latest stable implementation of WebKitGTK (2.32.1), which is about one year newer than the one Wayfarer 1.x used, proving this project's sustainability.
Most visible feature introduced by this is support of the so-called "dark mode" offered by some websites (example video). Furthermore some bugs have been fixed - in the past, checkmarks were not rendered at some websites for example. Please note that the ICU files included in the archive must be moved to MOSSYS: in order to run latest Wayfarer.

Sample source code: Hardware-oriented programming with Free Pascal
Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow has published on GitHub some examples for hardware-near programming - i.e. writing directly to chip registers - with Freepascal. The goal was to create the shortest possible compilations that recreate typical demoscene effects: the 700-byte tool 'copper' creates a copper list, while the 3-kilobyte 'sinus' uses the copper to manipulate bitplanes to create a sine effect.

Icon-Library 46.4.545
Recently we introduced Peter Keunecke's icon.library which provides all functions for processing pictograms. Due to the release of AmigaOS 3.2, but obviously also inspired by our contribution and especially the numerous comments, he has now released version 46.4.545.
For the first time he has not only added a documentation in the form of an 'IconLib.guide' as requested by many, but has also made it available in English as well as in German.
Furthermore, the TrueColor (TC) version now displays OS4 and PNG icons 30-70% faster in conjunction with workbench.library v44+ or Wanderer on native screens, but not with WB 3.1 and DOpus5. As Peter Keunecke writes further, AmigaOS 3.2 now requires at least an icon.library v47. In order to be able to use his icon.library under this OS anyway, he has apparently upgraded the 'icon.library_TC020' to version 51.4.545. The other two standard versions 'icon.library_68000' and 'icon.library_68020' do not work under AmigaOS 3.2 anymore.
According to him, the new icon.library provided by AmigaOS 3.2 should be "more efficient and faster, avoiding many useless refreshes". But since he does not own the new OS, he cannot test this. At least 'FastWB' seems to have no advantage anymore. And further he writes: "The new OS 3.2 file type detection of DefIcons is only supported by my v51 libraries like TC020. I have no intention to set the 680x0 versions higher."

Multimedia MIDI sequencer: BarsnPipes 1.0 for Amiga OS4.1 FE
At the end of October in 2009, Alfred Faust decided to stop developing his multimedia MIDI sequencer BarsnPipes due to increasing health problems (we reported). In July 2013 he released the source code of his programm. Mainly due to Corona, Alfred Faust has a lot of spare time which among others he invested in updating his AmigaOS 4 computer and its operating system to OS 4.1 FE and eventually reworking and compiling BarsnPipes for Amiga OS 4.1 FE.
