MorphOS: E-Mail client Iris, beta version 45
Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczeks "Iris" is supposed to become the standard mail program for MorphOS. It supports IMAP and can read and create HTML mails. The program requires MorphOS 3.10. You can give feedback to the author using the corresponding discussion on MorphZone.
The latest beta version fixes a bug "where Iris would send an email without contents if editing in html mode and some other html view was opened while editing." Besides, the toolbar was tweaked "to avoid inflating the size of the folders column."

Emulator: UAE4ALL2 for Nintendos Switch
For some time for Nintendo's video game console Switch a port of the Amiga emulator UAE4All2 is available. If you are going to install the emulator you first have to change the software setup of your console: But this is only possible for consoles sold before summer of 2018 - and there it can cause problems with the online function.
