MorphOS: Usenet-Reader Newscoaster 1.63 RC1 (Beta)
Tomasz "Kaczus" Kaczanowski is working on a port of the MUI-based Newsreader Newscoaster for MorphOS. The latest version which was already published three weeks ago does not use the MUI-classes NList and NListtree any longer. Additionally the memory management was reworked and some bugs fixed.
According to the author this version should run more stable than previous MorphOS-port or the original 68k-version. Because of the changes in the MUI-section some functions do not work as usual.

The author particularly points out that the combination Apollo 630 and Indivision ECS developed by Individual Computers is not supported! If you build the same combination you do it at your own risk.

We wish to thank our loyal customers who have supported us throughout the judicial procedures and especially the AmigaOS 4.x development team for their continued efforts and at the request of whom this official announcement was made.
As Hyperion Entertainment's most ambitious project to date is drawing to a close in collaboration with our partners, we invite our current and prospective customers to watch this space for further updates on Hyperion's continued efforts to revive the Amiga platform.

MorphOS: Keymap Switcher Keymap.sbar 20.5
Keymap.sbar is a plugin for the screen titlebar and allows comfortable switching between multiple keymaps without having to open MorphOS' System Preferences each time. It requires at least MorphOS 2.1 and 200 KB free hard disk space.
Features:
- Support for MorphOS and legacy (AmigaOS 3.1) keymaps
- A configurable keymap selection
- Beautiful hand-pixeled images in two sizes (automatically chosen depending on screen titlebar height) for each known MorphOS and legacy keymap
- Hotkeys for opening the quick selection menu and for cycling between activated keymaps
- Quick launching of Keystroke for character overview and selection
- Fully localized.
Changes:
Following a brief list of all changes since the first public beta release (version 20.3).
- Fixed two NULL reads which could occour if Keyboard.conf didn't existed (thanks to Nicolas Sallin for spotting)
- Defer keymap scanning; do it on demand rather than init (avoids
triggering a random bug/ race issue in certain versions of IPrefs
when Keymap.sbar is enabled at boot time already)
- Do not load config two times on init.
- Added a configurable hotkey to trigger opening of menu
- Added a configurable hotkey to cycle between active keymaps
- Localization
- Added help bubbles to preference page options
- German translation
- Installer now checks if Keymap.sbar is active already and verifies
version and revision of (a possible already installed) Keymap.sbar
- Updated documentation

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)
