MorphOS: IRC client AmIRC 3.8 / MorphOS IRC support moves to Libera Chat
Nicolas 'Henes' Sallin and Harry 'Piru' Sintonen, who continue AmIRC development, have published an update of the IRC client for MorphOS. Since version 3.6.2, e.g. SSL support has been added and the default server list been updated.
Furthermore, the official IRC support channel of the MorphOS developer team has changed. Due to an internal dispute at the previously used Freenode network following its change of ownership in 2017, the MorphOS support channel has been moved to Libera Chat. Besides this new channel, #morphos at irc.libera.chat, also the old one at Freenode will stay online for now but could be closed down at any time.

Lawsuit: Cloanto applies for admittance of Evert Carton as witness
Regarding the lawsuit with Hyperion, Cloanto and the Amiga parties applied to vacate and reset the pre-trial calendar (PDF file). Given the differing motions for a summary judgement by Hyperion and themselves, respectively, and that they do not know which causes of action will go to trial or even whether trial will occur, they would be unable to efficiently prepare for trial within the short time remaining. Also for Hyperion the date set by the court for trial, June 14, would be too early, according to Cloanto and the Amiga parties.

A-EON Technology: Commands copy and version for Enhancer Software updated
Within the framework of creating own components of the operating system, called Enhancer Software, A-EON Technology have updated their versions of the Shell commands "copy" (version 46.6 and 54.6, respectively) and "version" (46.10/54.10) for AmigaOS 3.x as well as AmigaOS 4. These can be installed using the Updater software.
Recently, also the official "copy" command for AmigaOS 3.x has been updated just a couple of days ago by the release of AmigaOS 3.2. The respective changes differ, though - for the latter, the option "force" had been added, for overwriting target files.
