Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek has released version 5.0 of his Wayfarer web browser for MorphOS, a major update that introduces the WebKit engine WebKitGTK 2.38.5, which was only released in the middle of last month. Wayfarer 5 also introduces the User Scripts Manager known from Odyssey. Furthermore, it is now also possible to relocate the cookies database to RAM while running, to reduce the amount of writes to SSD drives and improve performance.

AmigaOS 4: X11 environment AmiCygnix 1.7r2

MorphOS: MIDI-Tools 1.4 for BarsnPipes 1.3
Alfred Faust writes: Antoine 'tcheko' Dubourg has thankfully improved and developed the camdusbmidi.class for MorphOS in a very short time to such an extent that it now also manages MIDI data transmission with the so-called multiport USB MIDI interfaces without any restrictions.
For this I have adapted the MIDI-In and MIDI-Out tools in BarsnPipes. Now it is possible to manage up to 256 (16x16) separate MIDI channels (instruments) in BarsnPipes with a multiport USB MIDI interface. However, these multiport USB MIDI interfaces must be built according to the USB MIDI standard. They are available in good music stores and also online (e.g. Thomann).

PiStorm32-lite: Assembly instructions of CM4 adapter published
Claude Schwarz' PiStorm connects a Raspberry Pi to the CPU socket of an Amiga via an adapter and uses the British single-board computer to emulate a fast m68k processor. The lite version is supposed to take into account the current difficult situation in the procurement of components and in principle be cheaper (amiga-news.de reported). Basically, the adapter is intended for use with a PI3A, PI3B, PI4B or PiZero2. But for some time now, Emu68 developer Michal Schulz had been working on the development of an additional adapter that would allow the operation of a Compute Module 4 instead of a Raspberry Pi (amiga-news.de reported).

AROS: Web browser AmiFox in development
AmiFox is a kind of web browser which outsources the actual rendering via WRP (Web Rendering Proxy), so that the finished rendering is sent back to the Amiga just as an image (amiga-news.de reported). Now there have been single enquiries as to whether a conversion for AROS is also possible, whereupon developer Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow created a first internal beta version and reported on it both in his blog entry published yesterday and in a YouTube video.

Text adventure: Memory Lane
The developer 'ComSha' has released a classic text adventure called "Memory Lane" in which you can explore a city and discover mysterious places. You have to collect various objects and interact with other citizens. The catch: they don't seem to be able to remember you.
Depending on the player's actions, six different endings to the game are possible. The developer created his text adventure during an internship, which he updated again on a larger scale a year later.

DIY: Parallel port to SPI adapter, SD card driver 2.2
The goal of this project initiated by Niklas Ekström is to develop a cheap and easy to build SPI adapter that can be connected to the parallel port of an Amiga. In addition, the performance of the adapter should be as fast as possible (amiga-news.de reported).
Today version 2.2 of the SD card driver has been released which now also supports large SD cards (> 2GB).

RTG driver: P96 V3.3.3 released
Jens Schönfeld (individual Computers) has released version 3.3.3 of his RTG driver P96, which can be bought or downloaded from the order history at iComp. As developer Thomas Richter writes, the major feature of this release is that it offers the emulation of planar bitplanes, even if the graphics card does not support them or if a program requests more than the maximum 4 bitplanes VGA offers. That should help to promote even more legacy applications to the graphics card. To do this, "ENV:Picasso96/EmulatePlanar" must be set to "Yes" and restarted. A detailed description of the changes can be found in the English section of the iComp support forum.

Andrea 'afxgroup' Palmate has created a fork of the official clib2 library, included in adtools. This library is exclusively for AmigaOS 4 to make it easy to maintain and to be able to add all the missing clib2 functions that are hard to add on 68k Amigas. The goal is to make it POSIX compliant and also fix any C++ problems that exist with newer compilers (amiga-news.de reported).
