This version includes fixes for two minor security vulnerabilities: CVE-2024-9143 and CVE-2024-13176. More importantly, it adds functionality enabling support for QUIC protocol, allowing applications to implement the latest version of the hypertext transfer protocol (i.e. HTTP/3). While neither the vulnerabilities fixed, nor the new features added are absolutely necessary, you can install this version of openssl3.library to benefit from the improvements already with MorphOS 3.19: Download To install it, copy the file to MOSSYS:Libs and reboot.

`17.Jun.2025` Steffen Häuser (ANF)	RetroArch: WarpOS and MorphOS versions announced RetroArch is a modular retro emulator system, which was first featured on amiga-news.de on 28 May 2025. Following the previously announced versions for AmigaOS 3.x (68k) and AmigaOS 4 (PowerPC), developer Steffen Häuser has now also announced ports for WarpOS and MorphOS. According to Häuser, the WarpOS version is already running at full frame rate on a PCI PowerPC board with a 900 MHz G3, and the MorphOS version has been successfully tested with a Mirari board. Videos of the working beta versions for AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and WarpOS can be viewed on the Amigans and MorphOS Discord channels. An X5000 (AmigaOS 4) and Mirari-based systems (MorphOS/WarpOS) were used. Technically, the MorphOS version, like the OS4 version, is based on RetroArch 1.21, the current version on the PC. The WarpOS and 68k versions are based on RetroArch 1.19. Most of the important cores have already been compiled for MorphOS and WarpOS. However, some cores – such as MAME2009 – do not work on WarpOS because they are too large for the elf2exe2 tool used. MAME2003Plus, on the other hand, currently runs without any problems. As with the other versions, access to the beta versions for MorphOS and WarpOS is available in exchange for a donation. The final versions will be released later free of charge via Aminet, OS4Depot and MorphOS Storage. (nba) [News message: 17.

Additionally, Wayfarer can now all automatically redirect all YT video links into youtube-nocookie.com that gives you just the video player, with no comments, recommended and most notably no video ads."

`16.Jun.2025`	Background: cURL continues to support AmiSSL Daniel Stenberg, initiator and main developer of cURL, a command line tool for transferring data with URLs, reported in a recent blog post that the cURL project has a long tradition of supporting a number of different third-party libraries: by May 2025, thirteen different TLS libraries were supported. As a large number of these libraries are supported, it is now possible to raise the bar and gradually increase the requirements for them. The current TLS version 1.3 was already introduced in August 2018. This means that in future, cURL will only support TLS libraries that use the current TLS 1.3 standard (in its modern versions). BearSSL" and "Secure Transport" have thus been removed from the list of supported backends, but the AmiSSL encryption protocol maintained for Amiga computers (amiga-news.de reported) is still supported.

`16.Jun.2025` PyDPainter	Image editor: PyDPainter 2.2.0 for Windows and macOS The image editor PyDPainter is inspired by DPaint and according to its author Mark Riale an attempt to create a usable pixel art program in Python using PyGame that can handle low resolutions and limited colour palettes and which can be as easy to use as possible (amiga-news.de reported). Version 2.2.0 introduces Brush Trails for brush rotation and scaling (video) and offers an improved macOS support, clipboard paste in text tool and and tutorials. Changes: Brush Trails (formerly "Spacing"): The "Spacing" requestor has been renamed to Brush Trails. It is a rethinking of DPaint III Move requestor which allows you rotate and scale brushes along a path along with "ease-in/out" options. Brush Rotation and Scaling: You now rotate brushes with the 9 and 0 keys along with the - and = (or +) keys that scale while you are painting. Also, the mouse wheel now scales built-in brushes when used on the toolbar. Brush Type/Size Indicator: A new on-screen indicator helps you visualize your current brush type, rotation, and size. Native File Dialogs: A new Prefs option allows you to use the OS file dialogs. Signed Windows EXE: The Windows executable is now signed so that antivirus programs don't delete it. Improved Mac Support: Added a native Mac ARM binary .app for download. The Command key also works like CTRL for menu shortcuts and the menus have the Command symbol in them as well. Clipboard Paste Support: You can now paste text directly into the text tool. Click Menus: In addition to the click/release menu mode, they also work in a click/click mode to make it easier to use with laptops. Increased Undo Levels: Increased undo levels from 20 to 256 Comprehensive Documentation Updates: New Brush Trails documentation and tutorials. Added Screen Format details as well.

`13.Jun.2025`	Legal dispute: Hyperion can be held liable for copyright infringements In April 2023, Hyperion won the first lawsuit with Mike Battilana and his partners: The judge had essentially ruled that the plaintiffs Amino, Itec and Amiga Inc. could not sue for breach of contract or copyright infringement and that the only party entitled to sue - Amiga Corporation - should not be added as a plaintiff to the current proceedings due to a technicality and that it would have to sue separately. The so-called "Amiga parties" appealed against all three decisions. The subsequent legal dispute (courtlistener.com) is characterised above all by the lack of legal representation for Hyperion: In order to respond to the Amiga parties' initial statement of early August 2023, Hyperion first had to register new lawyers and ask for an extension of time. However, the new lawyers asked to be released from their mandate as early as April 2024. In October and September, Hyperion is given two four-week deadlines to provide new lawyers - coupled with the clear warning that the company's response to the Amiga parties' appeal would otherwise be removed from the file and the court would have to make its decision without taking Hyperion's position into account. Subsequently, the removal of Hyperion's "Answering Brief" is ordered on 7 November. It was not until seven months later that the Belgian company was able to present new legal counsel. In a motion dated 10 June, the new counsel asked for the removal of Hyperion's statement to be reversed: The "nebulous nature" of his predecessors as Hyperion's lawyers allegedly "dissuaded potential attorneys [..] to appear for Hyperion" and Hyperion had long been unsure whether its foreign lawyer Ben Hermans could take over the representation before the court in Washington. Only two days later, not only was this request by Hyperion's new lawyer rejected, but a unanimous judgement was also issued: the decisions of the previous instance to deny the Amiga parties the right to sue for breach of contract and not to admit the Amiga Corporation to the proceedings were upheld. However, the three judges of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overrule their colleague on one key point: The Amiga parties can take action against Hyperion for copyright infringement - copyright law is to be valued higher here than the "non-aggression" clause from the 2009 settlement agreement, according to the court of appeals. The "District Court" - i.e. the previous instance - must now once again deal with the allegation of copyright infringement by Hyperion. Mike Battilana's "Amiga Corporation" had already opened separate proceedings against Hyperion in 2019, but these are on hold until the case discussed here is resolved. We have asked both parties for statements and will submit them if necessary. Editor's note: Although an agreement had already been reached between Hyperion - including current manager Timothy de Groote - and the Amiga parties multiple times, these failed to end the legal dispute because Ben Hermans had withdrawn his agreement at the last moment. As far as we know, there have been no talks between the two parties after the restructuring of Hyperion - according to rumours, the newly appointed director de Groote had refused to engage in talks, stating that he wanted to wait for the outcome of the appeal hearing first.

`12.Jun.2025`	Open Hardware: Amiga Serial Midi Adaptor 1.3 The "Amiga Serial Midi Adapter" upgrades the MIDI interfaces on an Amiga. According to the developer, it converts the RX and TX signals of the serial port into the MIDI TTL standard and should therefore be compatible with (quote) "most Amiga MIDI software". Power is supplied directly via the serial port. All the necessary documentation for building the adaptor is available on Github. (cg) [News message: 12.

`12.Jun.2025`	SMB2 handler: smb2fs version 53.9 for AmigaOS 3/4 and AROS Fredrik Wikstrom's SMB2 handler allows remote access to files via the SMB2/3 protocols. New features in version 53.9: smb2-handler 53.9 (12.6.2025): Added a version compiled for the 68060 CPU Added support for the DOMAIN argument. smb2-handler 53.8 (15.5.2024): IMPORTANT: this revision only supports m86k-amigaos target implemented proper disposal of libsmb2 context on connection fault implemented automatic reconnection handling experimental recovery of handles during file operations interrupted by connection fault. Please note: the SMB server might still cause lock issue, reported by "..busy" "..in use" errors on workbench. This can't be solved within this handler, unless libsmb2 supports durable handles.
