All known IFF YAFA features are supported including the undocumented hi- and true colour extensions introduced in Wildfire 7. Here are some highlights:
- Support for planar, chunky, 15 bit and 24 bit YAFA anims
- Support for byte, word, and longword delta compression
- HAM6 and HAM8 modes fully supported
- Anims that use a dynamic palette are supported
- Support for timestamped anims
- Native decompressor for XPK FAST, NUKE, and RAKE packed anims; xpkmaster.library is not necessary
- Native decompressor for StoneCracker 4.04 packed anims (used only by early Wildfire versions)
This plugin is available for free download from the official Hollywood portal. Thanks to Hollywood 5's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS 3.x (with and without FPU), AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS (Intel), Linux (PowerPC), Linux (Intel), Mac OS X (PowerPC), Mac OS X (Intel), Windows and Google Android are provided.
You can download lots of YAFA anims from Aminet. (snx)

SSL vulnerabilities in Amiga software
Harry 'Piru' Sintonen reveals security issues on Amiga SSL implementations.
Critical vulnerabilities are found in IBrowse, SimpleMail and other programs.
Summary of the text file found at the title link:
- IBrowse 2.4 is vulnerable to Man in the Middle attacks (sslsniff)
- SimpleMail 0.40 is vulnerable to Man in the Middle attacks (sslsniff)
- AWeb and IBrowse 2.4 support insecure SSL 2.0 and weak ciphers, enabling trivial attacks against the encrypted traffic
- SimpleMail allows weak ciphers, enabling trivial attacks against the encrypted traffic.
- AmiSSL is based on old version of OpenSSL, and several security vulnerabilities have been found since
- YAM 2.9 has secure SSL implementation (barring the deficiencies in AmiSSL itself)

- ARIX (still in development, Hybrid OS: AROS based on the Linux-kernel, maintaining its binary and application programming interfaces)
- Aminux (Olaf Schönweiß' AROS/68k-distribution AROS Vision under the Amiga emulator FS-UAE, which is launched based on the Linux distribution Knoppix)
- AEROS in versions r3 and r4 (Pascal Papara's Linux-hosted AROS-distribution)

Workbench enhancement: BetterWB 3.3
Similar to AIAB, AmiKit or AmigaSYS, BetterWB is a collection of Workbench enhancements for AmigaOS 3.1, which are useful but rather simple and therefore require low hardware configuration. It is meant for e.g. purists and users of low end Amigas or Minimig users.
BetterWB runs on any Amiga and is provided as disk images. It requires the original disks of Workbench 3.1 (may also work under 3.0, but was not tested) and 8 MB harddrive memory.
Changes:
- Updated icon.library to version 46.4.332
- Added showboards command so that we can detect some ACA accelerators (WhichAmiga fails with some of them)
- Added PowerSnap commodity for enhanced clipboard functionality
- Redit 1.8 replaces the aging Ed and gives you much more functionality
- Added a new "IconSet" preferences app that lets you switch between different built-in icon types
- Plus many more fixes and minor enhancements
