WolnyCD_CX 0.3
A new version of WolnyCD_CX has been released by Dariusz Gawerski for AmigaOS 3.x and MorphOS. This tool gives you the possibility to set the speed of any CD drive. It should work with most of the ATAPI drives and part of the SCSI drives. It makes the drive to be more silent and in most cases it improves and speeds up CD read.
In version 0.3 there is a new Command option. Using it you can automatically run any other tool. By definition it should help you to handle CD/DVD discs more easier (it works with any drive). Furthermore, option Prefs was fixed as well as execution of the program itself. The archive does also include the source code. (snx)

Firefox port: Timberwolf Alpha 1 for AmigaOS 4
Hans-Jörg and Thomas Frieden have published a first alpha version of the Firefox port. The authors point out that that this alpha version "crashes very often" and is very slow.
The first launch of the application takes a lot of time. Besides the window is much bigger than screen - in order to make it smaller you can use the keyboard shortcut CTRAL-ALT and the mouse.
Known bugs: Mostly menus are shown properly but the entries cannot be chosen with the mouse. With "Alt" and the a character you can open a certain menu. With the cursors and Return you can choose a menu. "Boxes" on websites are not shown properly and may destroy the graphical user-interface of the browser.
