Amiga Future: update of the article database
Press release: We have worked on the extension of the Amiga Future database for the past months. By now it contains about 3000 articles for online reading. This week we added some workshops and an up-to-date article about astronomy photography by Mirko Strauß.
To extend the database even further we are looking for English and German articles. There were lots of websites offering reviews and workshops - unfortunately, many of them diappeared together with their valuable content. We would like to offer this kind of information online again.
Have you made a website with such articles which isn't online anymore? Or did you write something yourself? Then please contact us at the editorial office. (cg) (Translation: cg)

MorphOS: Port of Origyn Web Browser
Fabien "Fab" Coeurjoly has ported the Origyn Web Browser to MorphOS (screenshot). The most important features of the MorphOS-version:
- Based on GaleKid 1.0 OWB Branch (December 2008)
- Javascript, CSS, DOM, SVG, Unicode, SSL, ...
- Antialiased fonts and kerning, font families and support for international charsets
- MUI Interface
- Cairo technology !!1
- Multiple tabs and windows
- Download manager
- Bookmarks (including import for IBrowse bookmarks)
- Fastlinks
- Context menus
- Copy/Cut/Paste
- Rexx port (openurl support)
Coeurjoly recommends MorphOS 2 but the browser works under MorphOS 1.4.x as well - this requires a new (2007) MUI-version. OWB requires at least 35 MB RAM. Efika-owners who would like to have version without SVG-support (which saves much memory) please contact the author.
Starting OWB for the first time it tries to set the index which can take some minutes.
You can get further information about the MorphOS-version of the Origyn Web Browser in the News on morphzone.org.

Installer 1.19, Meridian 3.10, MMKeyboard 4.10, IRComRemote 3.10
Guido "Geit" Mersmann has published updates of several tools:
MMKeyboard 4.10, Meridian 3.10, IRComRemote 3.10
The multimedia-keyboard-driver MMKeyboard (AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, UAE, Amithlon), the mouse-gestures-commodity Meridian (AmigaOS 3/4 und MorphOS) as well as the infrared driver package IRCom/IRComRemote (AmigaOS 3 and MorphOS) are now optimized and improved and support now the title line plugins of MorphOS 2.x (screenshot). So an optional popup is available on each screen. MorphOS 1.4.x is supported.
Installer 1.19
Installer is a replacement for the original installation utility provided by AmigaOS (screenshot). Please note that this is the first official release of the new installer. It was tested with hundreds of scripts under MorphOS but should work under AmigaOS 3 as well.
The author has supposed that the AmigaOS 4-version does not work correctly because of a MUI-problem. He cannot find the problem and because he has not got OS4-hardware he will stop searching it. Under AmigaOS 4 the AmigaOS 3-version can be installed - if should work this you can try the PPC-version.
If there should be any problems with the installer scripts then please contact Mersmann with a Mail with screenshot.

Alfred Faust wrote: With one year of delay I finally published a new version of BarsnPipes New which can be downloaded under the title link. The new version includes some bug fixes as well as some improvements which I wrote in the History in detail.
Please note: Because of insuperable problems with the camd.library in the Classic version for AmigaOS 2.x I had to cease the development of this version. Therefore there will be only the 8 and 32-colour versions of BarsnPipes New for AmigaOS 3.x.

AROS for Efika: First alpha version available
Under the bounty project Michal Schulz has published a first alpha version of his port of the open source operating system AROS to the PowerPC-board Efika.
The ISO-image can be burned on a disc and then be started with a CD or DVD-USB drive connected to the Efika board. For that please enter the commands "setenv boot-device cd" and "boot cd os_image" in the Open Firmware. If the question "Boot? >" appears then enter a "1".
Please note that this early version has several bugs which might cause crashes. Driver for IDE and network still are not available. Furthermore missing files as well as much debug information are reported.

MorphOS: Firewire-Stack Helios 0.1.162
Guillaume "Yomgui" Roguez has published a first version of his recently announced Firewire-Stack for MorphOS. Currently "Helios" has the following limitations:
- Isochrone mode not supported
- Asynchrone mode limitations: Ping request not supported, Lock request/response not supported
- No bus management yet (to support the isochrone mode)
- FWInspect shows only the first PCI OHCI1394 bridge found on the host
- Functions Helios_EnableBus() / Helios_DisableBus() work
but cause system crashes when helios.library is flushed, then reloaded
The archive also includes a SDK for developers. Roguez points out that the API of the helios.library will be changed in this early status.
