Firefox port: Source code of Timberwolf released
In July 2012, the bonus of 6700 Euro for a port of Firefox for AmigaOS 4 was paid out to the Frieden brothers, although "Release Candidate 1" of their port of Firefox 4.0 named "Timberwolf" did not run smoothly. Two other updates have been provided, then the project seemed to have been put on hold.
According to a comment of Thomas Frieden on amigans.net, both software programmers decided to releases the complete source code of the project on Github. Although the files sporadicly include copyright notices, which expressly prohibit the transfer of the source code, according to Frieden the complete source code is under the Mozilla Public License. If you change it, you are asked to add it to the original Github archive. Please contact Thomas Frieden.

New A1200 cases: Funding completed
Via Kickstarter.com, Philippe Lang has established a project for producing an improved replacement case for the Amiga 1200 (amiga-news.de reported). This case also can take in other boards like the Amiga Reloaded, MiST or Raspberry Pi and has pre-cut sections for extensions.
Four days before the deadline, sufficient money has been sought to finance the production of the cases. By currently 127.955 Euro also the next target could be achieved: If 130.000 Euro would be paid, the 3D-model-files will be made available to the public.
