Javascript: TAWS - The Amiga Workbench Simulation 0.10
TAWS - The Amiga Workbench Simulation is a JavaScript simulation of Amiga Workbench 3.x for Internet Explorer and Firefox.
Changes in the new version 0.10:
- copying icons when dragging across drives (completely recursive and with checking for existing files, please note the different behaviour in 3.1 and 3.5)
- when moving a disk into a drawer, it's converted to a drawer
- Amiga-like message-requesters (for simple messages like «About...» or to enter the name of a new drawer, etc.
- most menu commands are now supported and these are new:
- Workbench / Redraw all (animated)
- Workbench / Update all (animated)
- Workbench / About...
- Window / New drawer (now properly with requester and all. Please note the different behaviour in 3.1 and 3.5)
- Window / Update (animated)
- Window / Clear selection (3.5 only)
- Window / Clean up (3.1., try this out in the «Test Suite»)
- Window / Clean up by / Column (3.5, try this out in the «Test Suite»)
- Window / Clean up by / Name (3.5 only, try this out in the «Test Suite»)
- Window / Clean up by / Type (3.5 only, try this out in the «Test Suite»)
- Window / Resize to fit (3.5 only)
- Window / Snapshot / Window (although not saved in the cookie yet)
- Window / Snapshot / All (although not saved in the cookie yet)
- Icons / Copy (completely recursive)
- Icons / Rename
- Icons / Snapshot (although not saved in the cookie yet)
- Icons / UnSnapshot
- Icons / Put away
- Icons / Delete
- Tools / ResetWB (it's just an animation actually, but I really like how it turned out)
- Tools / Reset TAWS prefs (to delete the cookie and reset all to my default values)
- new settings in the prefs program:
- CycleToMenu-patch
- choice of icon border: none, small, mid, large
- choice of AmigaOS 3.1 or 3.5: this has influence on the menu and the general workbench behaviour. And it also replaces the OS3.5 icon-dragging patch.
- true amiga-like animated lasso
- truer animation when opening a drawer an listing its contents
- support for the Ctrl- and Alt-Keys in OS 3.5 for selecting or deselecting icons
- no more 'drop-not-allow' mouse pointer in Internet Explorer
- I changed some default values, so TAWS now looks much nicer when visiting for the first time
- «Test Suite» to try out things like sorting, moving or copying
- some bugfixes and minor code improvements
Feedback of any kind is always welcome. (snx)

Projekt Timberwolf - Firefox port for AmigaOS 4.1 in progress
Press release: Finally, the port of one of the most wanted programs for AmigaOS 4.1 has been tackled! The well known AmigaOS developers
Hans-Joerg Frieden and Thomas Frieden are already working on a fully AmigaOS native port of Mozillas' Firefox webbrowser for quite some time!
Because of the unrealistic terms and conditions of the AmiZilla
bounty, it was decided to start a new bounty only for AmigaOS 4.1
and beyond. Thus this bounty is in no way related to AmiZilla.
Timberwolf is the project name of the AmigaOS port of the Firefox web
browser (for legal reasons it cannot be called Firefox). Firefox is an
award-winning open source web browser and is the de-facto-standard
browser across a wide variety of operating system, taking second place
in popularity after Microsoft' s Internet Explorer.
Its features include tabbed browsing, support for HTML 5, ECMAScript 3.1, and CSS 3, extensibility through addons, and a lot more. In short, Firefox is the most complete open source browser to date. (cg)

MUI: Test version 15.31 of TextEditor.mcc
On sourceforge.net there are updated test versions of the MUI-class TextEditor.mcc 15.31. The last two versions 15.29 and 15.30 had become very unstable and caused many crashes.
All bugs which the authors knew were now fixed. In order to avoid a similar unstable release just as it happened with the last version 15.30 all users should test this prerelease with programs like YAM and SimpleMail.
If you find a bug then please post it under the above mentioned site.
The Texteditor.mcc-team thanks all who helped to fix the bugs.
