Web browser: Short review on SDL/MUI-version of NetSurf
At the beginning of this year, editor Daniel Reimann of amiga-news.de has written a detailed review on Chris Young's Reaction-based port of Netsurf, but the SDL-port provided by Artur 'Arti' Jarosik he is testing as well:
On his blog, Jarosik has released new versions of his browsers during the last weeks. On my Amiga1200 these versions did not run very stable and a special FPU-version I could not start at all. Meanwhile there is only one version for AGA and RTG, a seperate FPU version was dropped.
The last AGA-version of Netsurf, which was released on Aminet on December 23, runs quite stable and fast on my Amiga1200.
It is a little bit unusual how you have to enter a web address into the address bar of the browser: Nothing happens by clicking with the left mouse button in the bar. After clicking with the right mouse button, Netsurf does vanish and a little window appears on the Workbench. There you can enter your web address.
Foreground and background picture loading disabled, Netsurf does take about 30 seconds for loading the main website of amiga-news.de on my Amiga1200 with Blizzard 1230 and for loading the Aminet site about 52 seconds. (cg)

Amiga-Emulation on ARM: HAPPIGA 1.4.1
Happiga is a Debian-based Linux distribution for ARM-based computers like the Raspberry Pi which directly boot into the Amiga emulator UAE4ARM. An AGA-Amiga with 68040-processor and sufficient RAM is emulated, Picasso96 is installed as well. A Samba-Share is preconfigured for exchanging data with other systems.
You cannot update Happiga to version 1.4, you have to completely reinstall the application. Changes in version 1.4.1:
- A last minute bugfix which greatly slowed the raspberry
- New image based on Rapsbian Pixel
- Update the firmware of the raspberry
- Updated uae4arm
- Button to turn happiga off from the menu
- Integration of KODI with launch from the menu
- Removal of the gamepad menu, because most people use the program with pixel raspbian
- Even more stable

AROS: October 2016 Highlights
Based on his weekly news on the progresses of the operating system AROS, Krzysztof 'deadwood' Śmiechowicz also summarizes the results for a month under the title link.
"In October the AROS repository breached 53000 commits mark thank to contributions from multiple developers. Neil Cafferkey continued his work on improving MUI as well as fixed the IntelGMA video driver. Miloslav Martinka contributed further Czech localization as well as localized WiMP tool. Yannick Erb and Marcus Sackrow contributed fixes to AROS programs and we saw introduction of new AROS GUI theme. Lastly ARM Linux hosted version of AROS has been fixed to compile again as part of ABIv0 refresh by Krzysztof Smiechowicz.
After September's explosion of distributions, October was quiet on that front. 3rd party developers however continued their work. Yannick Erb released updated version of ZuneView tool and Joerg Renkert released new version of his ModExplorer application for playing online and offline music modules. AROS archives also saw upload of two interesting Zelda-type games, Time to Triumph und Navi's Quest."
