MorphOS: LUA-MUI updated
Stefan 'Kronos' Kleinheinrich's LUA-MUI makes it possible under MorphOS to use the LUA scripting language to make operating system-specific calls, i.e. concerning the graphical user interface, libraries and functions.
The update released today includes changes to the LibCall() function - it now returns integer values or the value NIL if the called function fails. Also, muistructs.lua now registers all structs at startup, which requires more time and memory.

Whatever became of... - Bill McEwen?
As one can read on the company website at the title link, the former president of Amiga Inc. Bill McEwen is now working for Stavatti Aerospace.
The plans of its founder are ambitious - he wants to produce military jets e.g. for NATO, although he has no corresponding background. As the press reports, Christopher Besker has acquired his knowledge through self-study, but has already succeeded in acquiring tax payers' money to finance his visions. However, the company, which has existed in various forms since 1994, has not actually produced a single aircraft to date.

Web-based image editor: DPaint.js
"DPaint.js" by 'Steffest' is a web-based image editor focusing on Amiga file formats, strongly inspired by the classic DPaint. It is run directly in the browser (works also with the MorphOS browser Wayfarer) and can read and write all kinds of Amiga icons and IFF images. As the developer writes, he developed it mainly because he wanted to have a modern tool for creating Amiga icons with a focus on colour reduction and dithering, to quickly convert modern images into old-school icons, and to edit files on ADF disks directly without having to start an emulator.
