AmigaOS 4: Bounty for development of PPC-JIT-compiler for UAE
At amigabounty.net a project was established which is supposed to help developing a JIT-68k-compiler for the PPC-version of UAE - similar to existing versions of x86-CPUs. In contrary to the 68k-emulator which has been used in PPC-versions by UAE the speed of emulated appliactions would increase.

Web-Browser: First alpha version of Netsurf for AmigaOS 3
On a discussion on amiga.org Artur Jarosik told that he has ported the browser Netsurf to AmigaOS 3. NetSurf is a fast browser which was originally developed for RiscOS and which works from 17 MB memory on and supports HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0 and CSS 2.1.
The AmigaOS 3-version is an early alpha version. There are till some bugs (colours, text input). Netsurf requires Truetype-Fonts, which therefore requires a Truetype-Handler (the author recommends AfA). The required fonts are included in the package and must be copied to ONTS:TrueType/. Additionally a screen mode of 32 Bit colour depth should be used for Netsurf.

Filesharing: AmiGift 2.0
Amigift is a P2P-filesharing system which is based on a giFT-daemon (Gnutella, FastTrack, OpenFT) and includes a MUI-based graphical user-interface called "GiftMUI" (screenshot). After a few beta versions finally version 2.0 of the program is available. The changes are listed in the Changelog. The most important changes in AmiGift 2.0:
- The daemon no longer uses ixemul, we have now a totally native application!
- Each of the libs and plug-ins are now compiled and loaded individually, rather than linked with the daemon executable
- GiFTMui (The MUI front-end) now uses MUI Custom Classes for everything
- LOTS of code have been either rewritten from scratch or optimized
- There's now a dopus-like file manager embedded into GiFTMui
Before installing it interested users are asked to have a look at the sections Requirements and Getting started of the AmiGift website. The complete manual is online as well.
