AROS: DOS-Scripts for saving and restoring system configurations
Paolo Besser wrote: Time for a little vacation. Before leaving for two weeks, however, I thouhgt to make a little gift to the whole AROS community. These little scripts will be handy to backup and restore your AROS system environment. Not necessarily Icaros only, it will work also on other distributions and even on nightly builds. The only requirement is having the AROS zip command somewhere (preferably in extras:C, but it should not be important).

AROS: Patch 01 for Icaros Desktop 1.4.5
With the first patch for version 1.4.5 of the AROS-distribution Icaros Desktop, this now includes the NTFS-support for reading such partitions.
Additionally it is now possible to use the Hifi-modes of several soundcards (based on ESS1375/SB128 and CMI8738) and to "handle screens of different resolutions on selected chipsets."

AmigaOS 4: Timberwolf 4.0.1.0213 - RC2 (Update)
Today "Release Candidate 2" of the Firefox-port Timberwolf has been published for AmigaOS 4.
For the further development the aim is to achieve the current status of the Firefox. This has not been possible to realize as part of the finished bounty project because it would be a fast-moving goal. After the release of AmigaOS 4.2 as an absolute necessity for it, OpenGL and WebGL support will be added and thus Timberwolf will be completely hardware accelerated.
The update fixes the following bugs:
- The UI font size now adapts correctly to the system's default font
- Downloaded files can now be directly opened with user-selectable programs, for example, you can use UnArc to open a newly downloaded archive
- Should now work without RANDOM mounted, it will fall back to using pseudo-random numbers (i.e. rand in newlib). RANDOM is an entropy collector, and thus generates much more reliable random numbers. If you can, use RANDOM:
- Should be slightly faster now (html5 benchmark said between 0 and 20 % faster) due to new Cairo build (latest version). Don't expect miracles, though
- The bookmark database is now using a new scheme that should make concurrent access possible. This was necessary to make sure that the user interface is correctly enabled when the browser is launched with a web page (home page/command line). The upside is that it might now work on JXFS (please try). The downside is that this has to be tested and might make it necessary to have an rc3
Download: timberwolf.lha (25 MB)
According to first tests of users, version RC2 seems to cause more considerable problems compared to the previous version. At the moment therefore we cannot recommend to install this version.
Update: (06:50, 28.07.12, snx)
It is possible to use version RC2 in a stable way if you use the files libcairo.so and libsqlite3.so from RC1 instead of the new ones. Additionally delete the directory CurrentUserProfile before you start Timberwolf. (snx) (Translation: dr)
