MorphOS: e-mail client Iris 0.94
Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek's "Iris" is going to be the standard e-mail client of MorphOS. It supports IMAP and is able to display as well as create HTML e-mails.

Beta version 94 adds minor crash fixes in autoconfiguration and updated libs. The plan now is to migrate to the Wayfarer core as soon as Wayfarer has the same feature coverage (read: printing). For feedback to the developer the corresponding thread at MorphZone can be used. (snx)

According to the website the game runs fine on an Amiga 600 as well as on an Amiga 1200. (snx) (Translation: dr)

ATnoX: ATX power supplies for Amiga (update)
The Amiga 1000 (and, depending on additional hardware usage, also the Amiga 2000 and 3000) require a so-called tick signal not provided by ATX power supplies. It is a 50 or 60-Hz reference signal for the video chipset. ATnoX is an open source board for using ATX power supplies on the Amiga which adds this signal.

Update: (06:52, 15.10.20, snx)
Additional information regarding the Amiga 2000 and 3000. Both mainboards can be configured to generate the tick signal from the clock rate instead (like those Amiga models with integrated keyboard do). This jumper setting reduces accuracy, though. Thus for certain applications, e.g. genlock usage, also these big box Amigas do require a power supply providing the tick signal. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Jean-François Fabre's source codes of WHDLoad slaves on Github
Jean-François 'jotd' Fabre has released all assembler source codes of WHDLoad installers which he wrote or maintained on Github. These are little programs which for example remove copy protection and hardware or Kickstart dependences from a commercial game delivered on disk and convert it in a WHDLoad "slave". This is a program which can be executed by WHDLoad. (cg) (Translation: dr)

MorphOS: First public release of new web browser Wayfarer
Press release: Wayfarer, a new web browser based on a modern mid-2020 branch of WebKit is now available for download from wayfarer.icu. This new app makes it possible to browse most of the web that have become off-limits for Odyssey with its ageing engine. Google apps like Docs, Drive and Maps with Street view are supported just as the Whatsapp or Telegram web interfaces.

Wayfarer will work on any machine running the brand new MorphOS 3.14 with at least 1GB of RAM. A 1.5GHz or faster CPU is recommended.

This port has been made possible by the concerted effort of the MorphOS developers, the MorphOS beta testers, translators and all of the users who donated to the project. (snx)

Operating system: MorphOS 3.14
Press release: The MorphOS development team is proud to announce the immediate availability of MorphOS 3.14. While mostly a maintenance and stability release, this update also brings multiple technological improvements in the kernel. Out of these, the most notable are TLS support in exec.library, updates to the Netstack and ixemul.library.

We would also like to thank all of our translators and beta testers for stepping up their efforts in the weeks leading up to this release. This update ships with over 230 new and more than a 100 improved translation files.

We strongly urge new users to carefully read our installation and troubleshooting guides before they attempt to install MorphOS for the first time. Existing users can upgrade via the familiar procedure but are encouraged to read the guides as well. MorphOS 3.14 is available for download in our files section. (snx)
