IBrowse 2.5: Interview with Oliver Roberts
The release of IBrowse 2.5 - 13 years after the latest update of the only web browser specifically created for the Amiga that is still in development - started an argument in the german comments section of our related news-item with regard to its price/performance ratio. A good reason for our editor Daniel Reimann to talk about this to the main developer of IBrowse, Oliver Roberts.

In the preliminary talk to the actual interview found below, confronted with a certain disappointment of our readers regarding the features of version 2.5 and their critique of the price, the developer expressed his understanding in both cases, but pointed out that it had always been made clear what IBrowse 2.5 was going to be - and that it had been never promised to include CSS or HTML5; instead the plan had just been to deliver an AmigaOS 4 native version. And regarding the price, Oliver Roberts would like to advise users to only think about paying for what is available at the time of purchase and not the hope of something which may or may not be added in the future.

Web browser: NetSurf 3.10dev (SDL version), update 2
Artur Jarosik has released an update of his Amiga port of the web browser NetSurf. His port uses - in contrary to Chris Young's native, Reaction-based version - SDL. Only the preferences pane is MUI-based.

Changes:
  • Updated to newest sources
  • Integrated AmiSSL 4.3 for https support. Note: make sure you have current time and local region set on your WB
  • Enabled very basic JavaScript support (default is off)
This new version is available through auto update feature.

Update: (13.09.2019, 07:30, dr)

Upon request author Artur Jarosik has informed that currently only the RTG version has been updated. The AGA version will be soon available as well.

Update: (15.09.2019, 07:15, dr)

Today Artur Jarosik has uploaded the full archive - including the AGA version.

Direct download: NetSurf-m68k-3.10dev.lha (8,5 MB) (snx) (Translation: dr)

AmigaKit acquired AK-Datatypes
According to a press release (PDF file) of the British retailer, distributor and manufacturer of Amiga computer hardware and software, AmigaKit, it has acquired the graphics datatypes developed by Andreas Kleinert since he "had to stop due general lack of time and ability to further commit to the platform." For five years his image processing program SView has also been up for sale.

AmigaKit is going to distribute the AK-Datatypes as well as bundle them with other products. With regard to existing customers AmigaKit plans "to offer concessions against future upgrades." (snx) (Translation: dr)
