Pascal Papara wants to offer a computer for AROS - similar to the iMica. His project is called "Ares" and needs a professional logo which will be honored with 200.

Projekt Timberwolf - Firefox port for AmigaOS 4.1 in progress
Press release: Finally, the port of one of the most wanted programs for AmigaOS 4.1 has been tackled! The well known AmigaOS developers
Hans-Joerg Frieden and Thomas Frieden are already working on a fully AmigaOS native port of Mozillas' Firefox webbrowser for quite some time!
Because of the unrealistic terms and conditions of the AmiZilla
bounty, it was decided to start a new bounty only for AmigaOS 4.1
and beyond. Thus this bounty is in no way related to AmiZilla.
Timberwolf is the project name of the AmigaOS port of the Firefox web
browser (for legal reasons it cannot be called Firefox). Firefox is an
award-winning open source web browser and is the de-facto-standard
browser across a wide variety of operating system, taking second place
in popularity after Microsoft' s Internet Explorer.
Its features include tabbed browsing, support for HTML 5, ECMAScript 3.1, and CSS 3, extensibility through addons, and a lot more. In short, Firefox is the most complete open source browser to date. (cg)

MUI: Test version 15.31 of TextEditor.mcc
On sourceforge.net there are updated test versions of the MUI-class TextEditor.mcc 15.31. The last two versions 15.29 and 15.30 had become very unstable and caused many crashes.
All bugs which the authors knew were now fixed. In order to avoid a similar unstable release just as it happened with the last version 15.30 all users should test this prerelease with programs like YAM and SimpleMail.
If you find a bug then please post it under the above mentioned site.
The Texteditor.mcc-team thanks all who helped to fix the bugs.

Cloanto: Update for Amiga Forever 2009
Press release A free update to Amiga Forever 2009.0.7.0 was released today. This version is able to detect and correct a condition where insufficient access privileges are set for the directory containing the cache files.
This could have been caused by a bug in a previous Amiga Forever installer, resulting in the Games, Demoscene and Applications tabs not reflecting newly-added content on Windows Vista and Windows 7 systems. (snx)

Status update: DigiBooster Pro
Press release: DigiBooster 3 development has been resumed after holidays break. While it has been demonstrated that program skeleton is working on both MorphOS and AmigaOS 4, and player engine, the heart of any music tracker, was mature enough to release it inside DigiRoller, there are still substantial features missing.
The first one of them just implemented is instrument loading.
DigiBooster 3 supports common AIFF and WAVE PCM formats, as well as legacy 8SVX/16SV ones. What is important - no more sample size limit. Samples are only limited by memory available. Another important thing is reading sampling rate from the file. No more handtuning of samples taken at 44,1 kHz (or any other frequency, DigiBooster 3 supports audio up to 192 kHz). Just sample C-3 note from your instrument then play it as C-3 in DigiBooster. It is worth noting that sample loading window is not a plain filerequester.
It displays basic sample information on single click and features automatic playback, so browsing large samples collections becomes more comfortable. It also displays comments contained in audio files. Stereo files may be loaded as well (all supported formats), user's choices of stereo handling are loading single channel (left or right) or mix down both channels to mono.
More information about Digibooster Pro is also available as commented videos from the PowerDev 6 meeting where DBPro was demonstrated on AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS.
