MorphOS: openssl3.library update for MorphOS 3.19
Press release: A new version of MorphOS OpenSSL3 library has been released. This version includes fixes for two minor security vulnerabilities: CVE-2024-9143 and CVE-2024-13176. More importantly, it adds functionality enabling support for QUIC protocol, allowing applications to implement the latest version of the hypertext transfer protocol (i.e. HTTP/3).
While neither the vulnerabilities fixed, nor the new features added are absolutely necessary, you can install this version of openssl3.library to benefit from the improvements already with MorphOS 3.19: Download
To install it, copy the file to MOSSYS:Libs and reboot.

Legal dispute: Hyperion can be held liable for copyright infringements
In April 2023, Hyperion won the first lawsuit with Mike Battilana and his
partners: The judge had essentially ruled that the plaintiffs Amino, Itec and Amiga Inc. could not sue for breach of contract or copyright infringement and that the only party entitled to sue - Amiga Corporation - should not be added as a plaintiff to the current proceedings due to a technicality and that it would have to sue separately. The so-called
"Amiga parties" appealed against all three decisions.

Open Hardware: Amiga Serial Midi Adaptor 1.3
The "Amiga Serial Midi Adapter" upgrades the MIDI interfaces on an Amiga. According to the developer, it converts the RX and TX signals of the serial port into the MIDI TTL standard and should therefore be compatible with (quote) "most Amiga MIDI software". Power is supplied directly via the serial port. All the necessary documentation for building the adaptor is available on Github.

MorphOS: Discord channel freely accessible / Exchange with IRC server
Since mid-May, the instant messaging provider Discord (Wikipedia) does also have a MorphOS server. After initially requiring an invitation to participate, access is now possible directly.
As Frank 'cyfm' Mariak explains at the title link, it is also possible to communicate in languages other than English in the "MorphOS Babylon" area. In addition, some channels are also mirrored to the IRC server on libera.chat so that you can also participate in them via IRC. Accordingly, the official MorphOS IRC channel is linked to its Discord counterpart as well.
