AmigaOS 4: AbiWord 2.5.1 for Cygnix
Edgar Schwan has published a first version of AbiWord 2.5.1 for his x11-enviroment Cygnix. AbiWord is a professional word processing program with many functions:
- Easy to learn interface
- Very wide range of supported file formats like MS Word,
WordPerfect, OpenOffice, OpenDocument and many more
- Unlimited Undo and Redo
- Solid (X)HTML export with CSS support
- Import of graphics
- Automatic spell aid. Support of ispell,
aspell and myspell
- Design patterns
- Configurable index
- and much more
Additionally the archive contains the KHTML based browser osb-browser for displaying the online-help which has the following features:
- (X)HTML Rendering Engine with CSS support
- Javascript support
- SSL support
According to Schwan the browser has still some problems. Therefore it is not available for its own. For displaying the online help the program is a good solution. Many Internet sites work proper, too.

SAFIR: IRC session with Hans-Jörg Frieden (English)
On the Swedish SAFIR web page, the transcript of an IRC session with Hans-Jörg Frieden was published. Among other things, it is disclosed herein that work will continue on the completion of the "classic" version of AmigaOS 4 as soon as the AmigaOne version is rolled out - which will be the case really soon.
Currently, the final ISO file for AmigaOne computers is being prepared, which should be distributed as a physical product in form of a CD together with appropriate packaging. On the other hand, the version for Amiga's with PowerPC acceleration cards still exhibits a couple of rough edges to straighten out, which, however, should no longer require too much time according to the developer's estimation. Additionally, a new SDK is being worked on. (snx) (Translation: cad)

MUI-clone: AfA Zune 1.0, final beta 3
Bernd Roesch has published an update of his AmigaOS 3-port of the MUI-clone Zune. Changes in this version:
- supports MUI 4-images (xxx.mim-files). If capitalization is used (xxx.MIM) a frame and a button background are created which can look nicer (look at the arrows in this screenshot)
- The AFA picturedatatype_exe must be used and installed for MUI 4-Bilder. The contained version fixes some compatibility problems under CGX-systems.
- The installer works if Zune directories were newly created, too
- Shows class-number of the MUI-class if it could not be converted
- Contains updated classes in order to use the newer YAM 2.5 "Nightly-Builds" (tested on 2. April 2007)
- Example Skin-files were adapted to the new texteditor-keymappings of the contained version 15.21. Older texteditor-classes should not be used. Version 15.21 works reliable under Zune and MUI.
- Toolbar-preference "no border" now works
- Gadtools and intuition can use the skins created by Zune with the help of the contained intuition.library. Because of this programs based on StormWizard can set colours in buttons and cycle- or popup-gadgets. Examples are Arteffect (screenshot), AmiBlitz, akDatatype-preferences as well as the AfA-preferences.

File system: SFS 1.269
Jörg Strohmayer provides a new version of the alternative file system SFS:
- 1.269: Forgot to disable some debug output in 1.268, fixed.
- 1.268: Requesters don't use TimedDosRequester() anymore since the new
SYS:Prefs/Presets/Requester feature of requester.class could cause
deadlocks.
- 1.268: Changed some memory allocations to MEMF_PUBLIC/MEMF_SHARED.
- 1.267: Now checks the free stack size and uses the old file system API if it's low.
- 1.266: ACTION_EXAMINE_ALL now returns ERROR_NO_FREE_STORE if there isn't even enough space for a single entry in the buffer.
- 1.266: ACTION_EXAMINE_ALL now returns ERROR_OBJECT_WRONG_TYPE if someone tries to use it again after directory scanning was complete already (implicitely or by using ACTION_EXAMINE_ALL_END).
- 1.266: Fixed wrong error return code for ACTION_READ_LINKS.
- 1.266: Now uses IExec->CopyMem() instead of a custom memcpy().
