MorphOS: Origyn Web Browser 1.5
The changes - e.g. password and cookie manager - are listed in the Readme-file.
There are two different versions of the program. Additional to the full version with all functions there is an OWB-nosvg which does not include any support for the SVG-format and therefore requires less memory.

As part of the settlement agreement, the Amiga Parties acknowledge that Hyperion is the sole owner of AmigaOS 4 without prejudice to any third party rights.
Within the framework of the settlement agreement Hyperion is granted an exclusive, perpetual, worldwide right to AmigaOS 3.1 in order to use, develop, modify, commercialize, distribute and market AmigaOS 4.x (and subsequent versions of AmigaOS including without limitation AmigaOS 5) in any form, on any medium and for any current or future hardware platform under the exclusive trademark "AmigaOS" (Amiga operating system) and using other associated trademarks (such as the "BoingBall" logo).
Hyperion will continue development and distribution of AmigaOS 4.x (and beyond) as it has done since November of 2001.
We wish to thank our loyal customers who have supported us throughout the judicial procedures and especially the AmigaOS 4.x development team for their continued efforts and at the request of whom this official announcement was made.
As Hyperion Entertainment's most ambitious project to date is drawing to a close in collaboration with our partners, we invite our current and prospective customers to watch this space for further updates on Hyperion's continued efforts to revive the Amiga platform.

MorphOS: Keymap Switcher Keymap.sbar 20.5
Keymap.sbar is a plugin for the screen titlebar and allows comfortable switching between multiple keymaps without having to open MorphOS' System Preferences each time. It requires at least MorphOS 2.1 and 200 KB free hard disk space.
Features:
- Support for MorphOS and legacy (AmigaOS 3.1) keymaps
- A configurable keymap selection
- Beautiful hand-pixeled images in two sizes (automatically chosen depending on screen titlebar height) for each known MorphOS and legacy keymap
- Hotkeys for opening the quick selection menu and for cycling between activated keymaps
- Quick launching of Keystroke for character overview and selection
- Fully localized.
Changes:
Following a brief list of all changes since the first public beta release (version 20.3).
- Fixed two NULL reads which could occour if Keyboard.conf didn't existed (thanks to Nicolas Sallin for spotting)
- Defer keymap scanning; do it on demand rather than init (avoids
triggering a random bug/ race issue in certain versions of IPrefs
when Keymap.sbar is enabled at boot time already)
- Do not load config two times on init.
- Added a configurable hotkey to trigger opening of menu
- Added a configurable hotkey to cycle between active keymaps
- Localization
- Added help bubbles to preference page options
- German translation
- Installer now checks if Keymap.sbar is active already and verifies
version and revision of (a possible already installed) Keymap.sbar
- Updated documentation
