AmigaOS 4: Origyn Web Browser 2.1
Jörg Strohmayer has published a new version of his port of the Origyn Web Browser which is now based on the latest version of OWB called "DoDuo".
DoDuo uses the latest version of the rendering-engine Webkit which has a highly improved XHTML-compatibility. Additionally several bugs were fixed.
The AmigaOS-4-port of DoDuo has been not still adapted to AmigaOS in this way like OWB 1.24 because all Amiga specific changes muste be still implemented.
Changes in OWB 2.1:
- AmigaOS4 SharedTimer implementation
- AmigaOS4 intuition Events implementation
- AmigaOS4 WebViewPrivate implementation
- AmigaOS4 OWBLauncher with ReAction tool bar
- Small changes for AmigaOS4 in various parts

AmigaOne: Linux-Kernel 2.6.18
Under the title link Gerhard Pircher has published the Linux-Kernel 2.6.18 for AmigaOne-computers. It contains a workaround for network lockups (for the built in ethernet only), where the machine locks up after the first dozen of MBs have been transfered.
Unfortunately the network data corruption couldn't be fixed: The update only improves ethernet operation.
Suggestions are very welcome. Installed Mac-on-Linux-moduls of version 2.6.18 should work.
