Hyperion resumes selling digital version of AmigaOS 3.1.4
On 19. October the sale of Hyperion's AmigaOS 3.1.4 was interrupted for a short time: Amiga Inc. had sent Hyperion's service provider for digital sales a cease and desist letter. The Belgian company evades the problem by changing the service provider but 10 days later also this service was stopped. First it was communicated as stop initiated by Hyperion itself because the physical sets with ROMs and disks now were available in shops.

Using a facebook poll last weekend Hyperion wanted to know if there is still interest in the digital edition. Today it was announced that the company were happy to fulfill the customer wish and to offer AmigaOS 3.1.4 again as payable download.

Obviously it was not necessary to change the service provider again: the "Buy Now!" links refer to shareit.com aka MyCommerce. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Web browser: NetSurf 3.8 updated again (SDL version) (Update)
A few days ago Artur Jarosik has released a new update of his Amiga port of the web browser NetSurf. His port uses SDL, only the preferences pane is based on MUI, and is not to be confused with the Chris Young's native, Reaction-based version.

Our editor Daniel Reimann has tested the update on his Amiga 1200 equipped with Blizzard-1230 accelerator board and Amiga OS 3.9. Additional to bug fixes (details under the title link) now Netsurf again can access https websites. The required "ca-bundle" file in the "resources" folder was missing in the archives before.

Starting Netsurf on the Amiga1200 proved to be rather difficult. Often Netsurf loaded and stopped doing it with a black screen. It also could happen that the first blank screen was loaded and then the icons of the menu appeared very slowly: Loading an icon took several seconds. But if Netsurf properly started then the browser runs stable. Compared with the native version, this SDL port provided by Artur Jarosik presents the website in a more comfortable way: The characters are clear and the sites are viewed in a compact design (screenshots: amiga-news.de, netsurf-browser.org).

Surprisingly Netsurf takes "only" 37 seconds to load amiga-news.de which is a https connection (pictures enabled, pictures disables it takes about 32 seconds) but loading aminet.net it takes 60 seconds (53 seconds without pictures). Working with the SDL version of Netsurf is quite confortable because the websites are scaled in this way that you do not have to scroll across. I guess that this operation is more complex at the amiga-news.de website.

In order to exclude the reasons of instability during the start process are due to the special configuration environment of the Amiga1200, our editor would be grateful for feedback in the comment section, e.g. by users working with emulators.

Update: (17:28, 18.11.18, snx)
screenshots added (snx) (Translation: dr)
