MorphOS: Web browser Wayfarer 2.7
Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek has updated his web browser Wayfarer to version 2.7: Changes:
  • Worked around random crashes that may have been observed in 2.6
  • Significantly improved performance of various threading checks across WebKit
  • Worked around an issue in objc runtime that caused Wayfarer to stall during download notifications. Do note that notifications must be reconfigured in Magic Beacon as some keywords have changed.
  • Improved handling of websites that constatly request http auth credentials instead of caching the state

Hollywood: APK Compiler 4.0 released
Press release: Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to announce the immediate availability of Hollywood APK Compiler 4.0. The Hollywood APK Compiler is an add-on for Hollywood that allows you to compile your Hollywood scripts into stand-alone apps for Android, ready to be distributed via the Play Store!

Hollywood APK Compiler 4.0 is a major update which now supports compiling Android App Bundles (AAB) as well. Starting from August 2021, new apps uploaded to the Play Store must use the AAB format which is why the Hollywood APK Compiler supports this format now too. Of course, it's still possible to compile APKs because those are really useful for sideloading or distribution outside the Play Store. Another new feature in Hollywood APK Compiler 4.0 is support for the final version of RapaGUI 2.0. Everything in the final version of RapaGUI 2.0 is now supported by the Hollywood APK Compiler as well!

The update to Hollywood APK Compiler 4.0 is available free of charge for all existing customers and can be downloaded from the restricted download area. (dr)

CDTV Land (Twitter)


CDTV: New ROM version 2.35 announced (update)
The website CDTV Land is about Commodore's home multimedia entertainment and video game console CDTV which was launched in April 1991. It has now announced the new OS-Version 2.35.

The update will be available for free and "fixes a couple of long standing bugs which have plagued CDTV owners for many years and it throws a couple of small improvements into the mix for good measure". Changes compared to the last known original Commodore ROM release (2.30) from 1992:
  • Support for systems with 68030 CPUs
  • Support for systems with 32-bit Fast RAM
  • Memory card support restored for CDTV players
  • CD+G functionality restored for CDTV players
  • Buffer overflow bug fixed in bookmark.device
  • CD-ROMs will now boot even without CDTV.tm file
  • Ability to access the CDTV title screen when a harddisk is installed
  • Option to force exit CDTV title screen
  • OS build target device ID on CDTV title screen
  • No error screen when no disk drive connected to CDTV player
Regarding the availabilty the website wrote: "CDTV OS 2.35 is about to move from alpha to beta testing (by late September 2021). This means the feature set is locked and I will only be fixing bugs that arise during the beta testing phase. Depending on how the beta testing goes, I foresee a release version for the classic CDTV player (CD-1000) before the end of this year. ROM releases for the A570 and A690 CD-ROM drive addons for the A500/A500+ will follow shortly after that."

Update: (16:50, 19.09.21, dr)

In a separate article the developer of the new ROM has written about technical and legal issues. (dr)
