Web browser: IBrowse 2.5.4
Another update for the web browser IBrowse has been released which is free for existing customers:
- Fixed crash when modifying strings in the spoof settings, which occurred with older MUI versions
- Tweaked default fastlink URLs, whilst adding EAB.abime.net
- 68k: Fixed drawer icon inheritance setting
- Removed call to deprecated MUI_Error() function
- Completely abandoned bidirectional SSL shutdowns due to some servers being broken and not replying properly, which caused HTTPS connections to hang and never complete
- Updated Polish and Italian language catalogs
- OS4: Fixed AmiUpdate not updating the Norwegian catalog
- Updated PNG decoder using libpng 1.6.37
- Fixed possible reference to freed memory for secure pages when updating the status bar
- Detect incomplete gzip encoded downloads, flagging them as an error and allowing the auto resume feature to handle them too
- Added handling of marginwidth, marginheight, border and scrolling attributes for <iframe> elements
- Fixed broken JavaScript in iframes, due to wrong (parent) context being used
- Skip alternative content for iframes when iframes enabled
- Fixed crash when freeing pages with nested iframes
- Image links and maps now default to showing no border
- Border now rendered for non-linked image elements when specified
- 68k: Downgraded locale.library requirement from V39 to V38, for Workbench 3.0 compatibility
- Fixed crash that would happen should locale.library fail to open
- Fixed case where HTTPS connections did not finish loading due to some servers not responding to an SSL shutdown, when the disk cache was disabled
The developers also explained: "Some development work has also been done on HTML <iframe> support (which Stefan started during IBrowse 2.4 development), but this remains disabled in public releases until it is deemed stable."

AmigaOS 4: New audio driver for Intel HD Audio
A new AHI driver for AmigaOS 4 supports PCIe cards with sound chips meeting the HD Audio specifications. The archive also includes a simple "mixer" for controlling the volume.
Which cards do work (verified):
- Creative Labs Soundblaster Audigy FX (24bit/192kHz 5.1)
- Startech PEXSOUND7CH (24bit/192kHz 7.1) -> Available under many different brands
- Fransande 411944 (24bit/192kHz 7.1) -> Available under many different brands
Cards that should work:
- Terratec AUREON 7.1 PCIe (will arive shortly for verfication)
- Basically every combination of HDaudio controllers and HD audio multichannel codecs (eg. CA0113, CM8828, CM8888, CM9882A ALC898 etc)
Older cards that might work (no guarantees):
- Asus Xonar Phoebus solo (CM8888 in combination with high quality discrete DACs)
- Powercolor Devil HDX (CM8888 in combination with discrete DACs)
Cards that do not work (yet):
- Core3d (CA0132) based Sound Blasters (Eg Z, AE-5, AE-7, AE-9 etc). These cards have a DSP (ca0132) instead of an audio codec. Support is planned but don't hold your breath because extensive and undocumented configuration is required.
Cards that will never work:
- PCIe Asus soundcards that are on sale now. These cards are either AV100 ( rebadged CMI8788), CM8786 or C-media 6632AX (USB chip) based. Neither of these chips comply with the Intel HDaudio standard
- Sound blaster Audigy RX and all other EMU based or X-FI based sound blasters. (do not comply with the Intel HD audio standard)
- Non-PCIe soundcards in general like external USB cards
