Amiga-Emulator: vAmigaWeb - reworked virtual keyboard
vAmigaWeb is an Amiga emulator for the web browser or a Progressive Web App (PWA) based on the Amiga emulator vAmiga for MacOS.

In this update, the virtual keyboard has been restyled and technically reworked. It is now css-grid-based, which enables automatic scaling to different screen sizes. In addition to a scaling factor, the user can now also add a border at the bottom of the screen. This is particularly useful to prevent the keyboard from conflicting with the home indicator (the thin bar at the bottom of the iPhone screen).

All analogue sticks on a external controller should be recognized and work properly now. Tested with wireless Xbox controller on iPad. (dr)

Web browser: NetSurf 3.12 (beta version)
About a week ago the official version 3.11 of the web browser NetSurf for AmigaOS 4 was released (amiga-news.de reported). In the article we also reported about a corresponding version for AmigaOS 3, which, however, did not provide working support for encrypted websites (https connections). Chris Young has now fixed that and released this version on Aminet. (dr)

Individual Computers: Buddha Plus One can be preordered
Press release: The new Buddha Plus One IDE controller adds new features to a 27-year old design that has been extremely successful over the decades. We're proud to say that even after 38 years of Amiga history, we've introduced novel design ideas how to make installation easier, less error-prone and much friendlier in terms of preservation of the original cases. Read all about the new features and ideas on the Buddha Plus One product page.

Shipments will start in late January 2024. If you order a Buddha Plus One and an X-Surf-100 networking card during the pre-order phase, we'll give you 15,- EUR off the total(*). Unfortunately, this shop system can't do that automatically or with a voucher code. If you pay with a wire transfer, just deduct 15,- EUR from the total quoted by the shop, and if you pay with PayPal, we'll make a 15,- EUR refund on the next business day. (dr)
