AmigaOS 4: Web-Browser OWB 2.13
Jörg Strohmayer has published a new version of his port of the Origyn Web Browser. Please note that currently AmigaOS 4.1 is required. The changes since the last release:
- Disabled the normal and wait mouse pointers. They are still included as Resources/disabled-pointerCursor.info and disabled-waitCursor.info, if you want to use them in OWB instead of the system ones rename them to pointerCursor.info and waitCursor.info (bugs.os4depot.net issue #34)
- Added a frame around the status bar (bugs.os4depot.net issue #33)
- Updated to SVN revision 600
- Added PUBSCREEN tooltype for changing the name of the public screen
- For font families without bold/italic fonts OWB now constructs them from the regular font of the family instead of using fonts from the fallback font families
- Added displaying the source
- Added support for external bookmark tools, tooltype BOOKMARKCOMMAND, the first %s is replaced by OWB's ARexx port name (bugs.os4depot.net issue #13)
- Included Paul E. Bloedel's AddressBook
- Included Fredrik Wikstrom's OWBLauncher tool with the splash image from Martin 'Mason' Merz (bugs.os4depot.net issue #32)

KICKTOS: Kickstart disk for the Amiga 1000 with Atari TOS
Andre Pfeiffer wrote: In contrast to all other available Atari-ST-emulators KICKTOS boots a TOS (V1.02) to the original memory address where.
Because it hast only a size of 192 KB it was possible to set all Amiga specific special routines in the memory behind the TOS. The Amiga-1000-WOM has 256 KB;. Therefore for the Amiga specific routines 64 KB remains.
With the Amiga hardware the TOS is safe from destroying by overwriting and the whole normal memory remains for the applications.
The current version is only a technology demo because some adaptions of the memory management and keyboard requests must be improved.
A special thank to Toni Wilen who helped me with the peculiarities of the 68000. I only had to write KICKTOS 20 years ago... (snx) (Translation: dr)

IRC-Client: WookieChat 2.11 Beta 1
James 'jahc' Carroll has published an update of his MUI-based IRC-client WookieChat. Changes in this version:
- Part messages werent working on Undernet at times because the channel
had an extra character at the start.. i.e. instead of #newzealanders it
was :#newzealanders. therefore Wookie couldnt find the right tab to put
the part message in
- DCC has had a few bugfixes. There was a problem with not "long word
aligning" files when working with DCC. The problem only existed under
OS3 though, PPC was unaffected
- Norwegian language catalog updated
