AmigaOS 4: Free Pascal updated
In 2004 Karoly 'Chain-Q' Balogh ported the compiler Free Pascal to MorphOS and two years later for the first time adapted it to AmigaOS 4. Based on Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow's version of Free Pascal for AROS, MorphOS and AmigaOS 3.x he has adapted the latest version for AmigaOS 4. Completed by Marcus Sackrow the compiler now is available for all platforms.

Karoly Balogh himself does not use the version for AmigaOS 4, therefore he asks all users to try it and give feedback. (snx) (Translation: dr)

ReWarp: Reimplementation of WarpOS for AmigaOS 4 in progress
Under the title link Dennis van der Boon (well-known by his SonnetAmiga project) is working on a reimplementation of WarpOS for AmigaOS 4. The goal of "ReWarp" (screenshot) is to make it possible runing WarpOS-programms under PowerPC computers which are supported by the WarpOSEmu.

A supporter of the project mentioned the PowerPC cores e500, e5500 and 4x0 - that means the processors of the AmigaOne X5000 as well as of the Sam460 and of the Tabor-board. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Datatype: WarpTIFF 45.9
Again after five years, Oliver Roberts has released another update of his WarpTIFF-datatypes for AmigaOS 3.x, WarpUp, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS which are sold as Shareware.

Changes in version 45.9:
  • Can now load image files conforming to the BigTIFF specification
  • Added JPEG AltiVec speed optimizations for the AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS versions making decoding speed of baseline images 1.5x faster on a G4 and 1.9x faster on a PA6T, with fancy upsampling off, on average. These optimizations can be toggled off/on using the new USE_ALTIVEC setting
  • JPEG Huffman decoder in PowerPC versions is now 5-10% faster
  • Applications may now configure the datatype settings via a local variable, overriding any global user settings present in ENV:
  • Replaced usage of old Exec and Dos AmigaOS 4 functions with the new ones
  • Updated with libtiff 4.0.6, zlib 1.2.8 and jpeglib 9b
  • AmigaOS 4 version and MorphOS AltiVec code recompiled with GCC 5.2.0
  • MorphOS and WarpOS versions recompiled with VBCC 0.9d

Web-Browser: NetSurf 3.5 68k (SDL-MUI-Version)
Artur Jarosik has released an update of his SDL and MUI based AmigaOS/68k port of the web browser NetSurf. This port of Netsurg is different to the one based on ReAction provided by Chris Young (review) which additional to the version for AmigaOS-4 is available as beta version 3.5 for AmigaOS 3.5.

The update of the SDL-version (video of NetSurf 3.4 under AmiKit X) provides a MUI-based preferences. Besides, it is now possible to use TrueType and non-TrueType fonts. The libraries and source codes correspond to the latest version. This time NetSurf was compiled with GCC 3.4 instead of 4.5 which provides a better 68k output.
