AmigaOS 4: Filesystem SFS 1.274
The newest version of the alternative filesystem, SFS, now supports files larger than 4 GB as well. The changes in detail:
- Replaced semaphores by mutexes if running on the July 2007 update of AmigaOS4 or newer
- Removed support for AmigaOS4 versions older than OS4 final
- Added a new format with large file support, to use it select DOSType 'SFS\2' (0x53465302) for the partitions. WARNING: It's not compatible to the older SFS2 versions, nor to standard SFS partitions (DOSType 'SFS\0', 0x53465300) and therefore tools like SFSCheck, PartitionWizard, etc. don't work on such partitions and you can't use such a partition for booting from U-Boot/SLB!

MorphOS: Decoder for OnlineTVRecorder
Schlonz wrote: For OnlineTVRecorder which is a legal, free and mainly German Internet video recorder there is now an official decoder for MorphOS.
With OnlineTVRecorder you can record almost all German television programs. Up to 30 television broadcasts you can record simultaneously. You can record in the formats DivX, h.264-HQ-videos and iPod-video (and much more).
The service is used jut like a video recorder: Choose your broadcast, program, record and then download it. The file has the ending .otrkey. It can be not used until it is decoced.
This decoder now also exists for MorphOS as Shell-command which requires an installed ixemul-packet.
Thanks to Cyberwolf from OnlineTVRecorder for the port!

Ars Technica: A history of the Amiga, part 2
Under the title link Jeremy Reimer continues talking about the Amiga history with the crisis of the video games as well as the conception of the screens and the HAM-modus. The article is illustrated with the Amiga-joyboard.
In his article serie the author wants to explain "what the Amiga was, what it meant to his developers and users and why it - despite of the early decline and its [from the current point of view] rather slight brand awareness - had so much influence on the computer industry".

USB Stack: Poseidon 3.8
The USB stack Poseidon is now available for AmigaOS 3.x in version 3.8. In addition to bugfixes in ethernet classes as well as the mass storage support, the latter was improved further, too. Moreover, a largely enhanced Egalaxtouch class is provided in the update, which allows using touchscreens, including right mouse button emulation.
Please note that the author cannot issue registrations or give support due to "company holiday" from August 15 till 26.
As Chris Hodges informs, this probably concerns the last update to version 3.x for "classic" Amigas (and Amithlon). Users who want to purchase a license are asked to do this within the next months.
The update can be downloaded via the title link or the online update function in Trident. (snx) (Translation: cad)

MorphOS: lzmaLoader
After limited disk space had led to packers like PowerPacker, Imploder or StoneCracker in the past, which compressed executable files and unpacked and launched them automatically again, such a software was now made available for the first time for MorphOS programs, too, by Harry 'Piru' Sintonen, with the lzmaLoader.
Though disk space today is no longer as limited as in the floppy disk era, the author, by all means, still sees a possible use, for compressing 64k intros, for instance. As the name already suggests, his program uses the LZMA algorithm, known through 7-Zip.
