AmigaOS 4: X11-Server with GTK, WxWidgets and Amaya (preview)
In a thread on amigaworld.net Edgar Schwan has announced that he is going to port the
X11-server to AmigaOS 4. The old server makes some trouble and so the author
uses an existing, ixemul-based 68k-version. The libraries and clients have been ported yet.
Ports of GTK/GKD 1.2.20, WxWidgets and the CSS-Web-Browser Amaya
(currently without netzwork support) Schwan has finished. A first preversion
will come soon.
Screenshots: 1, 2, 3.

AROS: Lunapaint 0.2
Hogne 'Monsoon' Titlestad has released an update of his graphics software "Lunapaint" for AROS/x86 (Screenshot 1, 2). In version 0.2 projects now can be saved and opened as well as animations created and pictures exported.
But a completely stable operation at the hosted system isn't the case yet, therefore the use of the native AROS version is recommended.
