AROS: LLVM-Bounty (Phase 1) completed
After the release of the first release candidate of the cross-compiler LLVM, this bounty project was now successfully completed.

Pascal Papara who is initiator and main sponsor is looking for suggestions for the description of the second phase. The point of the bounty is to simplify the transition to 64 bit. (snx) (Translation: dr)

AROS: Distribution AspireOS 1.2
Nikolaos Tomatsidis has published an update of his AROS-distribution AspireOS (screenshot). This is customized to the Acer-netbook Aspire but should run on every other hardware.

The update requires an existing 1.x-installation. Amiga games now are started via AROS/68k instead of using AmigaOS Kickstart files. Additionally the music programm MilkyTracer, the BoingIconBar, Snapshoter, some games and many updated system files were added.

Users of Samsung or Dell netbooks have to replace the hdaudio.config and the HDAudio-driver by the ones with the ending "dell". Please do the same with the file Sys:system/network/AROSTCP/S/Package-Startup if you are using a USB network stick. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Database: MUIbase 2.10
Steffen Gutmann has published an update of his database MUIbase. Changes in version 2.10:
  • New function SETBGPEN for setting the background color of attributes
  • Several new pre-defined constants PEN_* useful for SETBGPEN
  • New function 'mainWindowTitle' for computing the title of the main window
  • Drag and drop of a record from a virtual list onto a reference attribute for setting the reference to the dropped record
  • Allow dropping of icons onto text fields that support filenames. This sets the contents to the pathname of the dropped icon (Amiga).
  • Warn user when changing a read-only project
  • Use native MorphOS-classes instead of NList and TextEditor. MUIbase stills uses BetterString instead of Textinput.
  • The Windows setup executable now containes all necessary GTK+ libraries
  • Better support of copy & paste on Mac OS X
  • Several bug fixes

Die MUIbase-distribution includes ports for AmigaOS 3, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS. An port for AROS will follow. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: Web-Browser NetSurf 2.8
NetSurf is a fast browser which was originally written for RiscOS. It can be used with 17 MB memory and supports among others HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0 and CSS 2.1. The changes in version 2.8 are listed in the Changelog.

Release notes for this AmigaOS 4 build:
  • DataTypes content handler now used for JPEG and PNG images on the 4.0 (static) build
  • Low-memory version of parserutils.library included in the archive, for people wishing to reduce memory requirements
  • MNG and WebP internal decoders no longer compiled in. Please install appropriate datatypes for WebP and (limited) MNG support
  • The file Resource/mimetypes can be used to specify applications to run plug-in content (to use, right-click plug-in area and select "launch in external application"). It also links DataTypes, MIME types and DefIcons, so if something isn't working as expected it might be related to this file
  • Please note the new DPI setting in prefs. Some people reported particulary small text on certain websites with the previous release. Setting DPI correctly fixes this. If you use a widescreen monitor you may need to set "option_widescreen:1" in Resources/Options
