AmigaOS 3/4: Web browser IBrowse 2.5.7
The team of Oliver Roberts has released version 2.5.7 of the web browser IBrowse. Most important changes (detailed changelog) of this update:
  • Reworked Brotli huffman decoder to avoid triggering a bug on the 68060 processor, which prevented pages from loading
  • Tweaks to the loading of external modules
  • JavaScript improvements
  • Switched to GCC 11, with all warnings enabled, which identified numerous previously unknown bugs which have now been fixed
  • Hundreds of minor internal changes
The update is available in the download section of the official website, AmigaOS 4 users can alternatively install via AmiUpdate.

Update: (06.11.2022, 14:45, cg)

Due to a couple of bugs that were discovered after IBrowse 2.5.7 was released, a hotfix update is now available for download (OS4 users may use AmiUpdate instead). Anybody who downloaded IBrowse 2.5.7 before 10:00 CET on 6th November is strongly advised to update their installation using the new update. (cg)

Developer tool: GNU Make will drop support for AmigaOS (Update)
GNU Make is the implementation of the in the Unix world often used program make for the operating system GNU. It automatically builds executable programs and libraries from source code by reading files called Makefiles which specify how to derive the target program. (Wikipedia).
As OSNews now reports, support for OS/2 (EMX), Xenix, Cray and also AmigaOS will be removed in GNU Make starting with the upcoming version.

Update: (03.11.2022, 19:30, dr)

Obviously triggered by our article, discussions have developed especially in various Discord servers which have led to some "protest mails". The maintainer of GNU Make, Paul Smith, responded to one of the mails and asked to stop writing mails:

"While it's good that AmigaOS as an operating system is still under active development, what I care about is whether anyone is maintaining *GNU make* on AmigaOS. I have not received a single patch for an AmigaOS problem with GNU make since 1996. I haven't received a single response from anyone on AmigaOS to any request for anyone to test a release candidate, or a new release, in I don't know how many releases....But if AmigaOS is not updating to newer versions of GNU make, then I don't want to maintain the (not insignificant amount of) special-case code currently existing to (not really) support it, in future releases. Fundamentally, for non-traditional operating systems it's not enough to just ask for it to be maintained. Someone has to volunteer to actively participate in the maintenance effort." (dr)
