End user help wanted: VirusZ and xvs.library to become open source
Georg Wittmann (formerly Hörmann) plans to release the source codes of his projects VirusZ and xvs.library after 15 years of inactivity. Before that he wants to make sure that his anti-virus software runs on AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and AROS (m68k): Since he himself does not have most of the systems mentioned, he has written a short program that collects and outputs information about the current computer. He asks that as many users as possible with one of the mentioned operating systems run the program and send him the output by e-mail.

Curiosity: DintWM - a "Tiling Window Manager" for Workbench
The principle of the Tiling Window Manager is mainly known in the Unix environment: In contrast to conventional interfaces, the individual windows do not overlap, instead they are arranged tile-like next to each other. With 'DintWM' such a window manager has now been implemented for AmigaOS for the first time.
Some animated screenshots on the Github website of the project illustrates DintWM, which is implemented as a commodity. Besides a status bar, which displays information about the various open windows, it also offers the "virtual workspaces" known from the Unix area.
