David 'Daff' Brunet has just put online an update of his test of MorphOS 3.10 with changes of version 3.11.

Read article updated.

Marcin 'Korni' Kornas & Manfred 'asrael22' Bergmann have realized a package named WHDLOpener integrating E-UAE/WHDLoad with MorphOS/Ambient. WHDLoad games can be started by running the slave file or just the game icon. ADF images can be run in E-UAE, mounted in MorphOS and emulated AmigaOS.

• You need to have AmigaOS 3.1 Workbench3.1 disk (or image), A1200 Kickstart 3.1 and A500 1.3 ROM images. SDK is recommended, though you can get away with some commands in C:.
• WHDLOpener is configured to run E-UAE on a lores 24Bit 320x256 screen. Make sure your screenmodes are set up. If your monitor does not support 320x256, edit A1200_WHDLoad.conf, replace 320x256 with 640x512, set "gfx_linemode=double" and "gfx_lores=no".
• Context menu for slave file has additional entry to run E-UAE in the windowed mode. It can be changed in the MIME settings for x-amigaos-whdload.
• Only first E-UAE instance has UAE ARexx port.
• Starting multiple games at the same time will not work.
• Paths/Volumes need to be the same both on MorphOS and emulated AmigaOS. If you add or rename a volume in your system and want to run WHDLoad games from it - don't forget to add this volume in the E-UAE config.
• E-UAE can be quit by CTRL ALT Q. For more information regarding E-UAE or other WHDLOpener external component refer to original documentation.
• Custom tooltypes are not supported.
• Installation can be made offline if these packages are in the main directory: E-UAE_1.0.0-JIT.lha.xz + rmh.lha + skick346.lha + WHDLoad_usr_small.lha.

- Iris beta 33

Jacek 'jacaDcaps' Piszczek The latest public beta of Iris email client introduces an Outgoing Messages folder. The emails you write are 1st stored in a local folder on disk, then uploaded to Drafts on your IMAP server, sent via SMTP and either deleted or moved to Sent folder on success, depending on whether the server automatically uploads sent messages to Sent folder or not.

This version also introduces 2 new main window UI layouts, the ability to fall back to Scintilla instead of OWB for viewing and editing (for systems with constrained ram) and many other fixes. See the README file for the complete list of changes.

Hello everyone,

after talking with Fab and henes, I decided to attribute the bounty for  Odyssey 1.25 to Mark 'bigfoot' Olsen and decided to relaunch it because he has invested a lot in Odyssey 1.25 in recent years and he is working on the Just-In-Time JavaScript compiler too.

More, after accepting the bounty on MorphOS.pl to develop the Just-In-Time JavaScript compiler, he had to face difficulties caused by webkit bugs that he did not expect when he accepted this bounty and did not count his hours spent on this project.
 
So if you want to support his work and his Just-In-Time JavaScript compiler project, you can make a donation in the Bounty section and mention the project "Odyssey 1.25 JS JIT" in your comment.

This bounty will be reversed to him when he will finalize his project.

Following the release of MorphOS 3.11, David 'Daff' Brunet is pleased to update its excellent installation guide of MorphOS on its site Obligement.

This guide describes the steps to install or update the Blue Butterfly Operating System version 3.10 on Pegasos, Pegasos II (Open Desktop Workstation machine), Efika 5200B (Efika Open Client machine), Mac mini G4, eMac (models 1.25 and 1.42 GHz), Power Mac G4 (PowerMac3.1 to PowerMac3.6 models), Power Mac G4 Cube (PowerMac5.1 model), Power Mac G5 (PowerMac7.3 models), PowerBook G4 (PowerBook5, 2 to PowerBook5,9), iBook G4 (PowerBook models6,3 to 6,7), Sam460ex / Sam460cr (AmigaOne 500 machine) and AmigaOne X5000-20. See this list for more details on managed Macintosh machines.

Mark 'bigfoot' Olsen has released a special test version of Odyssey 1.25 for MorphOS 3.11. Indeed this version contains a native PowerPC port of Webkit's Just-In-Time Javascript compiler which can greatly speed up the display of Web pages in Javascript.Please note that JIT compilation increases memory consumption and this version only includes the first level of the JIT compiler which limits the acceleration of the display speed.bigfoot also recalls that there may be errors and encourages reporting sites that run on Odyssey without JIT and that does not work with this version (dedicated thread).

Further performance improvements are expected in the future.
