MorphOS: E-Mail-Program Iris 0.118
Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek's "Iris" is to become the default MorphOS email client in the future. It supports IMAP and can both display and create HTML emails.
Among the new features of version 0.118 is an improved image scaling when reading mails. In addition, the author asks to ensure that in any case a written server name and not an IP address is to be used for the SMTP server, since some servers reject an IP address when establishing an SMTP connection. For feedback to the author, the corresponding MorphZone discussion on the topic can be used.

Detailed Review (Czech): Graphic cards for Sam440ep-flex
On the Czech Amiga portal, the user 'sailor' has published a detailed review about graphic cards for Sam440ep-flex, here as English-language translation. Of course the texts of the graphics cannot be translated, so these are important words to know:
- neni treba = not necessary
- ne = no
- ani = still
- ano = yea
Finally she has given some conclusions depending on for what you are using your Sam440ep-flex most: For current applications for example she recommends the Radeon HD 7750. In any case she advises to have 128 MB VRAM graphic memory.

Pre-order starts soon: Amiga inspired case in MiniITX format
Stephen Jones had an A3000-inspired case crowdfunded in 2018, reviving the "Checkmate" brand he used thirty years ago for an A500 desktop case. Announced in late summer, the "Checkmate Mini" variant which is significantly smaller and intended for motherboards in the mini-ITX form factor and can also accommodate the "UnAmiga" and "MIster" FPGA emulators using an adapter kit, was successfully crowdfunded by 303 backers to the tune of around 75,000 euros earlier this year.
