AROS: Port of 3D-driver system Gallium3D started
Gallium3D is a 3D-layer which includes drivers for 3D-graphic chips produced by Intel or Nvidia. Krzysztof "deadwood" Smiechowicz has now started the bounty for an AROS-port of Gallium3D.
The AROS-driver currently can initialize the graphic card and show a simple, colourful dice (demo video). Smiechowicz uses a GeForce 4200 Ti.

AmigaOS 4: Bounty for Apache, MySQL and PHP
Under the title link you can donate for the AmigaOS-4.1-port of the webserver Apache 2.2.x, for the database MySQL 5.1.x and for the script language PHP 5.2.x as well as for a graphical user-interface for switching on and off it.
Edgar Schwan would write the ports if the minimum charges (... Euro) will be achieved. Step one (500 Euro) is supposed to be realized based on the Unix-environment AmiCygnix. Step two (300 Euro) should realize a native port. For this a new bounty project will be started. Therefore all current donations are meant for the first step.

Javascript: TAWS - The Amiga Workbench Simulation 0.10
TAWS - The Amiga Workbench Simulation is a JavaScript simulation of Amiga Workbench 3.x for Internet Explorer and Firefox.
Changes in the new version 0.10:
- copying icons when dragging across drives (completely recursive and with checking for existing files, please note the different behaviour in 3.1 and 3.5)
- when moving a disk into a drawer, it's converted to a drawer
- Amiga-like message-requesters (for simple messages like «About...» or to enter the name of a new drawer, etc.
- most menu commands are now supported and these are new:
- Workbench / Redraw all (animated)
- Workbench / Update all (animated)
- Workbench / About...
- Window / New drawer (now properly with requester and all. Please note the different behaviour in 3.1 and 3.5)
- Window / Update (animated)
- Window / Clear selection (3.5 only)
- Window / Clean up (3.1., try this out in the «Test Suite»)
- Window / Clean up by / Column (3.5, try this out in the «Test Suite»)
- Window / Clean up by / Name (3.5 only, try this out in the «Test Suite»)
- Window / Clean up by / Type (3.5 only, try this out in the «Test Suite»)
- Window / Resize to fit (3.5 only)
- Window / Snapshot / Window (although not saved in the cookie yet)
- Window / Snapshot / All (although not saved in the cookie yet)
- Icons / Copy (completely recursive)
- Icons / Rename
- Icons / Snapshot (although not saved in the cookie yet)
- Icons / UnSnapshot
- Icons / Put away
- Icons / Delete
- Tools / ResetWB (it's just an animation actually, but I really like how it turned out)
- Tools / Reset TAWS prefs (to delete the cookie and reset all to my default values)
- new settings in the prefs program:
- CycleToMenu-patch
- choice of icon border: none, small, mid, large
- choice of AmigaOS 3.1 or 3.5: this has influence on the menu and the general workbench behaviour. And it also replaces the OS3.5 icon-dragging patch.
- true amiga-like animated lasso
- truer animation when opening a drawer an listing its contents
- support for the Ctrl- and Alt-Keys in OS 3.5 for selecting or deselecting icons
- no more 'drop-not-allow' mouse pointer in Internet Explorer
- I changed some default values, so TAWS now looks much nicer when visiting for the first time
- «Test Suite» to try out things like sorting, moving or copying
- some bugfixes and minor code improvements
Feedback of any kind is always welcome. (snx)

Projekt Timberwolf - Firefox port for AmigaOS 4.1 in progress
Press release: Finally, the port of one of the most wanted programs for AmigaOS 4.1 has been tackled! The well known AmigaOS developers
Hans-Joerg Frieden and Thomas Frieden are already working on a fully AmigaOS native port of Mozillas' Firefox webbrowser for quite some time!
Because of the unrealistic terms and conditions of the AmiZilla
bounty, it was decided to start a new bounty only for AmigaOS 4.1
and beyond. Thus this bounty is in no way related to AmiZilla.
Timberwolf is the project name of the AmigaOS port of the Firefox web
browser (for legal reasons it cannot be called Firefox). Firefox is an
award-winning open source web browser and is the de-facto-standard
browser across a wide variety of operating system, taking second place
in popularity after Microsoft' s Internet Explorer.
Its features include tabbed browsing, support for HTML 5, ECMAScript 3.1, and CSS 3, extensibility through addons, and a lot more. In short, Firefox is the most complete open source browser to date. (cg)

All bugs which the authors knew were now fixed. In order to avoid a similar unstable release just as it happened with the last version 15.30 all users should test this prerelease with programs like YAM and SimpleMail.
If you find a bug then please post it under the above mentioned site.
The Texteditor.mcc-team thanks all who helped to fix the bugs.

Status update: DigiBooster Pro
Press release: DigiBooster 3 development has been resumed after holidays break. While it has been demonstrated that program skeleton is working on both MorphOS and AmigaOS 4, and player engine, the heart of any music tracker, was mature enough to release it inside DigiRoller, there are still substantial features missing.
The first one of them just implemented is instrument loading.
DigiBooster 3 supports common AIFF and WAVE PCM formats, as well as legacy 8SVX/16SV ones. What is important - no more sample size limit. Samples are only limited by memory available. Another important thing is reading sampling rate from the file. No more handtuning of samples taken at 44,1 kHz (or any other frequency, DigiBooster 3 supports audio up to 192 kHz). Just sample C-3 note from your instrument then play it as C-3 in DigiBooster. It is worth noting that sample loading window is not a plain filerequester.
It displays basic sample information on single click and features automatic playback, so browsing large samples collections becomes more comfortable. It also displays comments contained in audio files. Stereo files may be loaded as well (all supported formats), user's choices of stereo handling are loading single channel (left or right) or mix down both channels to mono.
More information about Digibooster Pro is also available as commented videos from the PowerDev 6 meeting where DBPro was demonstrated on AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS.

Netsurf 3.0
Artur Jarosik has published a new update of the AmigaOS-3.x-port of NetSurf on Aminet. Due to the more current CSS-Engine more sites are displayed accurately. Additionally the update includes several bug fixes and extensions.
Hint: You will use the included installation script at your own risk because it will overwrite system files without being asked. It is better to install it manually with the help of the information of the script.
If you want to modify the configuration then edit "Resources/Options".
