MorphOS: E-Mail client Iris, beta version 62
Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek's "Iris" is supposed to become the standard mail program for MorphOS. It supports IMAP and can read and create HTML mails.
The program requires MorphOS 3.10. You can give feedback to the author using the corresponding discussion on MorphZone.
New Features include:
- Implemented forwarding messages as attachments
- Nice folder icons, icons for failed/draft messages in the Outgoing folder
- Folder settings (accessible from menu)
- It is now possible to create and delete IMAP folders
- Closed state of a folder tree is now serialized
Also fixed:
- INBOX folder wouldn't always be detected correctly (happened on Yahoo)
- Fixed sending of emails from accounts that had no Drafts/Sent folder
- Fixed the 'view in external browser' feature (for attachments)
- Fixed a UTF-7 decoder bug (caused Greek GMail to fail, for example)
- Fixed a crash when parsing a server-side modified folder structure
- Fixed a scroll-to-top issue when progressively adding list entries while scrolling
- Fixed a crash in session shutdown/resource tracking

MorphOS: WebRadio.sbar 1.5
WebRadio.sbar is another screenbar for MorphOS written by Thomas Igracki. The program is based on Grzegorz Kraszewski's CgmRadio 2.0 and can play Internet radio station streams. But it is required that the station uses the ShoutCast protocol of the MPEG audio format (usually MP3, MPEG-1 Layer III) - streams of other formats like Ogg Vorbis, WMA or AAC+ cannot be decoded.

After more than 20 years, amiga-news.de's PHP developer and server administrator will be leaving the team in late summer (amiga-news.de reported). For the system administration we have received some applications but we are still looking for a PHP developer.
This PHP developer should know PHP 7.3+ without ORM and Framework, SQL for MariaDB, Composer, Phing, PHPUnit and Behat. PHP development needs to be taken over in late summer. Like all other positions in the amiga-news.de team, the job is unpaid voluntary work.
