MorphOS: IceFileSystem 2.2
Version 2.2 of the IceFileSystem was published which includes bug fixes for ixemul and YAM. IceFS is a 64-Bit filesystem for MorphOS.

The filesystem is Shareware and will start to slow down the more it is used. After 300 sold keyfiles it will be released as Freeware.

Changes:
  • Problem with ixemul fixed (SDK2 stuff works now)
  • Bug introduced in 2.1: Trying to delete non existant file could in some cases (io error for example) cause all kinds of weird problems - fixed
  • Cleaned up FSFormat GUI a bit
  • Added some safety guards to IceCheck regarding circular links
  • Bug regarding NewReadLink() and hardlinks fixed
  • Some fixes in action_rename_object
  • A YAM incompability in action_exmaine_all() fixed
  • A few smaller things

Textviewer: EvenMore 0.70 (29.12.10)
Chris Perver's EvenMore is a textviewer written in Amiga E. About the changes in version 0.70 the author writes as follows: "Removed search window, settings, and directory scan options. Replaced with a simple case insensitive search string on the main window.

Entering text into this gadget will search for the first occurance of the word in the viewer. It can be activated using the f key, and its look can be set using the updated preferences plugin. I have thus removed EasyGUI completely from EvenMore. I should now be able to convert the preference plugin to MUI, and the main program to other platforms. You will need to delete your old EvenMore.config file for this to work." (snx)
