Network File System-Implementation aNFS (formerly known as ch_nfs) now under GPL
Since a few days there is a new open-source project on SourceForge.net: It is the source of the NFS file system (ch_nfs) written by Carsten Heyl which formerly belonged to AmiTCP.

A few years ago he released the sources as GPL and handed it over to Jens Langner. With this new project he is looking for interested developers who help to speed up the development of a NFS-file system for the Amiga sector.

With the new open-source project now called aNFS the programmer team try to get the source files of the old NFS-file system work under the new operating systems like AmigaOS 4, MorphOS or AROS.

Because the project is quite new developers are very welcome. At the moment some parts of the source files do not exist and have to be written again.

Interested developers may contact Jens Langner and can get further information about the status of development. (snx) (Translation: dr)

YouTube: Video "Space Wars" by Tobias Richter (1992)
YouTube user Kenzoid27 has digitized the animation "Space Wars" from the year 1992 from a VHS cassette, slightly reworked it and made it open to the general public under the title link, in order to bring back memories and to highlight what was already possible on the Amiga at that time.

The video by Tobias J. Richter (Story, Modeling, Animation), Carsten Fuchs (Program) Bjørn A. Lynne (Music) and Frank Brehme (Editor) was generated on two Amiga 2000's and three Amiga 3000's using the programs Reflections 2.0, Videoscape 2.0, Deluxe Paint IV, Scala as well as Music X and was recorded directly.

AROS: WebKit preview (alpha version) for the daring
In order to allow AROS users that are keen on experimenting a test of the current development status of his WebKit port, Robert Norris has released a preview version under the title link (screenshot).

Please note that this early alpha version of the future web browser Traveller is still unusable for the most part and will definitely crash. (snx) (Translation: cad)

Burning program: Frying Pan 1.3.2
Tomasz Wiszkowski has released version 1.3.2 of his burning program. Frying Pan is available for AmigaOS, AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and AROS.

The update solves the problems of both previous versions and addresses itself to those users who had problems with strange texts on the cycle buttons, Enforcer hits when ending the program or still incorrectly finalized discs. (snx) (Translation: cad)

AmigaOS 4: Origyn Web Browser 1.15 (Update)
Under the title link Jörg Strohmayer has published an update of Origyn Web Browser. It includes a new memory allocation which is slower and requires more memory - at least 256 MB.

But thus more sites should be correctly displayed without crashing. Additionally scroll bars were implemented.

Update: (18:41, 01.03.08, snx)
Meanwhile, version 1.15 is available; it fixes an error of the previous one. (snx) (Translation: dr)
