MorphOS: Test version of a Javascript JIT compiler for Odyssey
Mark 'bigfoot' Olsen released the test version of a PowerPC JIT compiler for Javascript to be used for Odyssey web browser. There is not much of a speed gain, though, since only the first level of the JIT is active for now. Instead the release is intended to test if there are any cases that do not work with the JIT while working without it.

At the title link there is a description how they just re-used the cases of Amiga 1000 computers and monitors, utilising emulation instead.

Hardware: Gayle reset fix for Amiga 1200
RastPort's KA21 is a hardware Gayle reset fix for Amiga 1200. Features:
- Generates missing PCMCIA reset signal during reboot. It is needed by many PCMCIA cards to be detected by the system after reboot.
- Pins for connecting optional reset button.
- Pins for 2-way and 4-way clockport expanders. These devices need A15 (and A14 for 4-way units) signal, which is usually taken from Kickstart ROM by inserting additional socket. With KA21 these signals can be connected to two pins on the unit.
KA21 should be available from RastPort distributors at half of August.

Video: MorphOS 3.11 on emulated computer
Under the title link, Luigi Burdo has published a video on YouTube of MorphOS 3.11 which under QEMU 3.0 (amiga-news.de reported) runs on a PC with AMD-Threadripper-1950X-processor.
The video does not show applications demanding high processing power but only the operating system itself: Utilities, little games, the web browser Odyssey, preferences and diverse screen savers.

Graphics board: Advance order of ZZ9000 (successor of VA2000)
The ZZ9000 is the successor of the FPGA-based and open source Zorro II/III compatible graphics board MNT VA2000 developed two years ago by Lukas F. Hartmann and now can be preordered.
The ZZ9000 combines a RTG graphics board, AGA scandoubler and network card equipped with two 666-MHz-ARM coprocessors for applications demanding high processing power like accelerated graphic rendering or JPEG and MP3 decoding. Besides, some of the improvements will also benefit the VA2000. The delivery is scheduled for the end of October.
