New Realtek-Network driver for AROS, new Bounty for Realtek ALC888
Franck Charlet has published a new Network driver which supports different Network-controller made by Realtek:
- RTL8168b / RTL8168c / RTL8168cp
- RTL8169 / RTL8169s / RTL8169sb / RTL8169sc
- RTL8110 / RTL8110s / RTL8110sb / RTL8110sc
- RTL8111b / RTL8111c / RTL8111cp
- RTL8100e
- RTL8101e
The driver also complies with conditions of the Realtek RTL8111b bounty which was started by Pascal Papara to get drivers for the Network-controller of the planned AROS complete system AresOne.
Bevause Frank Charlet does not want to make a draft on the donations, the money will be used for a new bounty: A driver for the Soundchip Realtek ALC888 - which is the last component that still is not supported by AROS for the AresOne.

OnyxSoft: AmiVNC4, BackUp, MPlayer-GUI, MultiRen, JoinSplitter, MultiRen, UTF-8
The developer group OnyxSoft has updated six of its programs: AmiVNC4, BackUp, MPlayer-GUI, MultiRen, JoinSplitter, MultiRen and UTF-8.
AmiVNC4 2.2.0 (OS4) Backup program that mirrors a directory structure
Added Zlib support which should speed up transfers a lot on slow networks. Now startable from WB with tooltypes. Should use less CPU and be more responsive when detecting a screen change.
BackUp 1.70 (68k)
Added an option so that you can select that files over a given size should not be copied. Added two options to prevent the setting of Amiga protection bits and Amiga file comments. Fixed a few minor bugs.
MPlayer-GUI 1.46 (OS4) GUI for MPlayer
It is now possible to start MPlayer-GUI with arguments from CLI or WB and files will be added to the GUI that is already opened. Added a Stop button. Added #?.flv to the default file pattern.
MultiRen 1.69 (68k) Powerful multi-file renaming tool using MUI. Has plugin-support for MP3-renaming and more
Fixed drag'n'drop of directories in Ambient. Added some stack to prevent crashes when opening the MUI settings on PPC systems. Minor fixes.
JoinSplitter 1.4 (68k) Split and join files with a GUI
It is possible to have joined files automatically deleted after being joined. Better handling of large files over 2GB, and joining of files that will result in more than 4GB.
UTF-8 1.2 (68k) This program lets you type UTF-8 text everywhere (like in web browser forms for example)
UTF-8 is now a commodity if started from Workbench. From Workbench it reads a few tooltypes.

IBrowse developer addressing the web browser's future
On the IBrowse mailing list, Oliver Roberts from the IBrowse development team replies to inquiries about the browser's future: The initial plan was to develop a new custom HTML engine for IBrowse 3.0 - but given the dramatically shrinking size of the community, that doesn't look like a viable option these days according to Roberts.
One more time Roberts points out that Stefan Burstroem, the owner of the IBrowse rights, is the main problem hampering IBrowse's evolution. The development team has made several suggestions regarding the distribution of the program - which is currently not available for purchase - but Burstroem didn't make any decisions so far. According to Roberts, a lot of work went into IBrowse 2.5 which is pretty much finished and would be a free update for existing customers but can't be released without Burstroems "cooperation" either.
Roberts does want to release IBrowse 2.5, because "it would be a shame if all the work would go to waste". As far as version 3.0 is concerned, Roberts says he wouldn't expect it in the "foreseeable future". (cg) (Translation: cg)
