MRE-1.Mai-Edition: ClassAction 4.40 and StartMenu 1.20
You had to wait a long time, but I hope you are content with the things I
have done meanwhile:
ClassAction 4.40 and StartMenu 1.20 are ready, with many of your proposals
implemented. Some changes: ClassAction has an improved way of copying,
classes for volumes and assigns, "Open with" and "Copy to" submenus, an own
file attribute window, and many little improvements like file comment
display and vertical arranged listers.
StartMenu has now lost the nerving bugs; it can control commodities, opens
on other screens and has an improved window button display.
All MRE modules only contain the English language. I will prepare the
translations, they will follow in the next weeks.

New benchmarks from "Project Petunia"
The author of "Project Petunia", the 68k JIT emulator for AmigaOS4, has released new benchmarks for this emulator (title link).
Ben Hermans of Hyperion commented those benchmarks within the comments of ANN as follows:
"At a 600 mhz G3 with on-die L2 cache and a 133 mhz FSB you might expect a much higher speed than with a 150-200 mhz 060. I would guess a 300 mhz as an absolute minimum. On current PPC cards the relevant benchmarks of petunia are slowed down by several facts:
- The 68k processor is stealing still some cycles simply because it's still "awake". Once it will be made completly slept this will result in a reasonable gain of performance.
- Dual processor architecture with context switches and cache flushes
- WarpOS is used and not Exec SG
All in all I guess that the emulator will reach the performance of a 060/50 as a minimum even on the slowest (160 mhz) BlizzardPPC cards.

Amiga Arena: Interview with Martin "Mason" Merz
Enthusiasts of the "Glowicons" and with that nearly every Amiga user, might use a toolbar with Martin "Mason" Merz's GlowIcon style for his programs.
Martin Merz has not only given a big contribution for an optical "face lifting" for many programs but that the overall impression also seems to be unified.
As martin Merz said within the Amiga Arena interview, enthusiasts of the "Mason" icons might look forward to some more highlights. The interview is available in German.
