MorphOS Mailing List: Problems with GMX accounts
For several days, the E-Mail provider GMX is blocking all Mails that originate from the morphos-team.net domain or that should be sent to this domain. Apparently, GMX servers wrongly consider the IP address belonging to the said domain to belong to a dial-up account, the communication with such IP's are are always blocked by GMX.
GMX users have no influence on this behavior of GMX servers. The people in charge of morphos-team.net have already contacted GMX, however, no quick solution seems to be in sight at present. MorphOS users with a GMX account are therefore recommended to use another E-Mail account for the communication with, for instance, the official MorphOS mailing list. (cg) (Translation: cad)

BarsnPipes New 1.25b with integrated UI
As the skin funcionality (e.g. interface look designed by the user) was almost not used at all did Alfred Faust decide to create a version of BarsnPipes New 1.25 where all 460 images of its 64 colour interface are integrated into the program's code and therefore do not have to be loaded additionally anymore.
This decreases the loading time of BarsnPipes New significiantly especially on slower computers. This version might be the better solution for the user who doesn't need the skin functionality.

AROS: Lunapaint 0.2
Hogne 'Monsoon' Titlestad has released an update of his graphics software "Lunapaint" for AROS/x86 (Screenshot 1, 2). In version 0.2 projects now can be saved and opened as well as animations created and pictures exported.
But a completely stable operation at the hosted system isn't the case yet, therefore the use of the native AROS version is recommended.
