Origyn Web Browser 1.2 and 1.20
The AmigaOS and AmigaOS 4-ports of the Origyn Web Browser (OWB) are available in version 1.2 and 1.20. In version 1.20 the scrolling was improved and in version 1.2 (68k-version) fixes some bugs of the SDL library concerning the keyboard input.
Furthermore the speed was increased and you can now open links with the target "_blank" (in the same frame). GIF-animations cannot be played any longer because it slows down the browser too much. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Review: PCI-Board Mediator TX with graphic board Radeon 9200
For the new PCI-board Mediator TX developed by Elbox a first review was published under the title link.
The author is very satisfied concerning delivery components, support as well as functionality. There were only problems with the Radeon graphic board because the model which was chosen by the tester was still not supported by the first driver version. But Elbox published an update of the driver and then it worked. Finally the author had to modificate the Infinitiv tower in order to use the graphic board.

Script: Final version of Convert2CDXL
The script Convert2CDXL, in its final version which is available from now on, handles the conversion to PPM images totally automatically with the integration of ffmpeg. In addition, the PPM images can be scaled to half, quarter or eighth of their size.
Further improvements are the manual in AmigaGuide format and an enhancement of the XL start script. An optimization was carried out for processors from 68020 up to 68060. (snx) (Translation: cad)

AmigaOS 4: Cinnamon Writer 0.52 (beta)
Press release Cinnamon Writer (CW) is a WYSIWYG writer application under development. The main objective of CW is to be a small efficient word processor with the most often used features seen in other professional word processors (screenshot).
Version 0.5 is much faster than the previous version. It offers most of the basic and most often used functionality expected from a word processor (selectable fonts, font size, text alignment, line space, text color, highlight color, bullets, underline, super/subscript etc).
The documents are saved in RTF format that ensures maximum compatibility with other word processors. At a later stage of development, other save formats will be available.
The icons set used in CW is the work of Martin 'Mason' Merz. (Thank you Martin!)
I am also announcing the coming opening of Cinnamon Projects.
The purpose of Cinnamon Projects is to speed up the development of CW by utilizing some the very gifted coders on the amiga scene.
Since I have come to the realization that writing an application like this single handedly, is near impossible, I have decided to use a larger part of the donations I have received and hopefully will continue to receive, to fund coders who are interested in contributing to the application.
A new section will open on desler.be in the near future where different projects are announced together with the amount of money a coder will receive upon completion of the project.
An example of a project could be a printer class that will handle all the Amiga specific calls required to add printing capability to CW. The prize given upon completion will range from 50-150 euro depending on the scale of the project and of course, the amount of donations I have received.
I haven’t been able to test this software on a classic AOS4 setup, so please let me know if a specific setup is not working. The stability of this version has not been throughout tested and the undo/redo feature is currently not available. Therefore save often and save different versions of your document when using CW!
I really hope that you will find this application useful. Please don’t hesitate to report bugs/crashes/ideas and perhaps give donations/beer on desler.be. Finally... Donate. Scientific case studies have shown that people who donated experienced 33.4% fewer crashes. ;-) (snx)
