IBrowse developer addressing the web browser's future
On the IBrowse mailing list, Oliver Roberts from the IBrowse development team replies to inquiries about the browser's future: The initial plan was to develop a new custom HTML engine for IBrowse 3.0 - but given the dramatically shrinking size of the community, that doesn't look like a viable option these days according to Roberts.
One more time Roberts points out that Stefan Burstroem, the owner of the IBrowse rights, is the main problem hampering IBrowse's evolution. The development team has made several suggestions regarding the distribution of the program - which is currently not available for purchase - but Burstroem didn't make any decisions so far. According to Roberts, a lot of work went into IBrowse 2.5 which is pretty much finished and would be a free update for existing customers but can't be released without Burstroems "cooperation" either.
Roberts does want to release IBrowse 2.5, because "it would be a shame if all the work would go to waste". As far as version 3.0 is concerned, Roberts says he wouldn't expect it in the "foreseeable future". (cg) (Translation: cg)

BarsnPipes New: Further development canceled
Alfred Faust wrote: With these words I announce to the Amiga/MorphOS/OS4-users-commuity that because for health reasons I had to make up my mind to cancel the further development of the probably best multimedia-MIDI-sequencer called BarsnPipes New.
This decision has been very diffucult because I have been developing this program for almost 10 years with great pleasure. I am not the person who started this program but who developed it further. Therefore I want to say thank you to Todor Fay and his brilliant co-programmers - for one of the best programs which has been ever written for the AMIGA.
Nevertheless, as long as I am able I will read and answer the eMails of the Newsgroups.

MorphOS: Usenet-Reader Newscoaster 1.63 RC1 (Beta)
Tomasz "Kaczus" Kaczanowski is working on a port of the MUI-based Newsreader Newscoaster for MorphOS. The latest version which was already published three weeks ago does not use the MUI-classes NList and NListtree any longer. Additionally the memory management was reworked and some bugs fixed.
According to the author this version should run more stable than previous MorphOS-port or the original 68k-version. Because of the changes in the MUI-section some functions do not work as usual.

Indivision ECS and Apollo 630 in Amiga 600
On his "extreme A500 upgrading page" Christian Krenner has documented how he managed to upgrade his Amiga 600 as much as possible. The computer has now an Indivision-Scandoubler, a 68030-CPU with 40 MHz, 34 MByte RAM, 20 GByte harddrive, PCMCIA-Network card as well as USB- and VGA-ports.
The author particularly points out that the combination Apollo 630 and Indivision ECS developed by Individual Computers is not supported! If you build the same combination you do it at your own risk.
