Charset conversion: codesets.library 6.0
The codesets.library allows applications to use codeset/charset tables via a unique interface and to convert between different charsets, e.g. within an email client from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1.
Applications already using the codesets.library are among others the Instant Messenger 'Epistula' and the current "developer" versions of the known mailer software YAM.
The library (recently released under the LGPL) is available as version 6.0 for AmigaOS 3, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOSt. Next to the porting to AmigaOS 4 were numerous changes made in this version making it in some points incompatible with earlier versions.

MorphOS: MorphUp beta version 0.955
MorphUp is a packet manager for MorphOS written by Rupert Hausberger and it is now available
in version 0.955. This update contains a new toolbar with exchangeable graphics sd well as
some optimations and bug fixes.
MorphUp is a packet management system as you can find in the Linux world, too.
You do not have to take care of the newest software versions by looking at every
corresponding website - so for missing libraries or MUI-classes. Instead of that
MorphUp organizes the installation, updates of single components and applications.
