AROS64: Status update
In his blog, Michal Schulz delivers insight into the current development status of his AROS adaptation to the x86-64 architecture (Bounty 21). So reportedly, the operating system is already bootable from CD and offers partial MMU support. The kernel is partly protected.
Now it is necessary to eliminate all the errors which first become evident on a 64 bit system: first in Zune and Wanderer, afterwards in the remaining standard components of AROS. Furthermore, as many architecture dependencies as possible should be relocated to kernel.resource.

AROS: new HD-Installer
The new HD installer is now included on the nightly ISO and is ready for testing. However, there's currently a bug in either Wanderer or FFS that needs to be worked around. After startng the installer, you need to quit Wanderer before continuing (unless you're not going to format any partitions).
Be even more careful than usual with this version of the installer, ie. don't expose a machine with unbacked-up valuable data to it. It should preserve all existing partitions if requested, but no one has tested this so far besides me.

Flayer 1.0 Beta 2
On September 18 already, Robert Williams has made available a second beta version of his ARexx script Flayer, in which YouTube support was restored and support for Google Video, which had also become useless, was removed. In addition, a warning is now displayed when no supported FLV player is found.
Flayer makes Flash videos usable for AmigaOS users, too. For this purpose, the script scans the displayed web page for the URL of the video and saves this to the hard disk, from which it can then be displayed using MPlayer.
