Mastodon client: Video presentation to Amidon development status
Dimitris 'MiDWaN' Panokostas, author of the Amiga emulator Amiberry, is developing a Mastodon client for AmigaOS 3 (amiga-news.de reported). During the last meeting of the Commodore Users Europe he has presented the latest development status of Amidon. Currently the requirements are:
  • AmigaOS 3.x
  • 68020+ CPU
  • MUI 3.9 minimum. Looks better with MUI 4.0 and 5.0 but HTMLview currently does not work under these versions.
  • 8MB of RAM minimum

AROS: Devlogs to AmiFox
About a week ago we reported that Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow is also working on an AROS version of his browser AmiFox in addition to AmigaOS 3. In two new blog entries he now reports about the further development: thanks to a new version of the AmiSSL library AmiFox runs on AROS ABIv0 with encrypted https connections to the server.

And he reported how he sets up an AREXX port under the MUI equivalent Zune so that AmiFox can work with one of his other programmes such as AmiTube or MUIMapparium (YouTube video). (dr)

MorphOS: Real-time strategy games Vanilla Conquer RA and TD V1.1
A week ago Mark 'bigfoot' Olsen released his port of the second part of the real-time strategy series Command & Conquer, Red Alert (RA), for MorphOS based on the open source project Vanilla Conquer. Now he has not only made version 1.1 available, which contains a bug fix for users playing on 4:3 or 5:4 monitors, but has also released version 1.1 of his port of the first part of the Vanilla Conquer project, Tiberian Dawn (TD). This now also offers TinyGL support and thus the same improvements as his RA port. (dr)

MorphOS: Web browser Wayfarer 5.0
Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek has released version 5.0 of his Wayfarer web browser for MorphOS, a major update that introduces the WebKit engine WebKitGTK 2.38.5, which was only released in the middle of last month. Wayfarer 5 also introduces the User Scripts Manager known from Odyssey. Furthermore, it is now also possible to relocate the cookies database to RAM while running, to reduce the amount of writes to SSD drives and improve performance.

AmigaOS 4: X11 environment AmiCygnix 1.7r2
Edgar Schwan's AmiCygnix is a Unix environment for AmigaOS 4. It is not an emulation, but all programs are compiled natively for AmigaOS 4 (screenshot). AmiCygnix provides a directory and data structure similar to that of a Unix installation.

Version 1.7r2 fixes some bugs of version 1.7 which was released at the beginning of 2023 (amiga-news.de reported):
  • The English gui file for the prefs editor "XServer-Access" was broken. Is fixed now.
  • The "echo" command of coreutils was buggy. Is fixed now.
  • Slightly bugfixed AmiCygnix Unix shell (acxsh, a special version of the abc-shell).
  • The integrated root certificates for GnuTLS and OpenSSL have been updated.
  • Updated Italian translations. Thanks to Samir Hawamdeh!
  • Fixed a minor bug in the Install script.

Amiga emulator: vAmigaWeb - support for real mouse on iPad
vAmigaWeb is an Amiga emulator for the web browser or a Progressive Web App (PWA) based on the Amiga emulator vAmiga for MacOS.

Just a week ago, the developer 'mithrendal' had updated his emulator - we reported yesterday - to now add another feature: support for real mice on the iPad.

As he explains to us, "it is now possible to connect any mouse to an iPad (the MagicKeyboard even has a trackpad built in), but the movement data of web applications is not (yet) retrieved via the so-called PointerLock API". This makes it difficult to control Amiga games or the Workbench with a real hardware mouse. Since he now has an iPad himself, he was able to implement a fallback solution that does not require the PointerLock API standard, but "works amazingly well". (dr)
