AROS: Forum closes, successor recommended
Already in the middle of July Ola '4pLaY' Jensen had announced that the forum "AROS-Exec" would be closed on September 19 for health and financial reasons. Since nothing has changed since then, Krzysztof 'deadwood' Śmiechowicz recommends to use AROSWorld as successor.

Ola Jensen's withdrawal from the AROS Archives, on the other hand, has no further consequences, since Krzysztof Śmiechowicz has already supported him here since the end of 2021 and continues this commitment. (snx)

MorphOS: Ninth beta version of TinyGL
MorphOS team developer Mark 'Bigfoot' Olsen had offered a bounty project for improved OpenGL support as well as drivers for more Radeon graphics cards under the title link, which has been successfully funded (amiga-news.de reported). Now the developer has released the ninth public beta version of his TinyGL update which mainly includes a preview of the R600 driver even though there are still plenty of known issues with the R600 driver.

As the developer explained, "in this update only Evergreen and Northern Islands based Radeons are supported. Support for R600 and R700 based Radeons will be added at a later date." Since the R600 driver is a preview driver, it must be expected that many applications and games will either be misrendered or cause the system to crash. The author asks to report any problems.

The newly supported Radeon graphics cards are all of the Radeon HD-5000 series, all of the Radeon HD-6000 series and the following cards:
  • Radeon HD 7350
  • Radeon HD 7450
  • Radeon HD 7470
  • Radeon HD 7510
  • Radeon HD 7570
  • Radeon HD 7670
  • Radeon HD 8350
  • Radeon HD 8450
  • Radeon HD 8470
  • Radeon HD 8490
  • Radeon R5 220
  • Radeon R5 230
  • Radeon R5 235
  • Radeon R5 235X

MorphOS: E-Mail client Iris 1.16
Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek has released version 1.16 of his e-mail client Iris for MorphOS which introduces a lot of improvements, optimizations and bug fixes, including faster message list updates and better handling of operations on big numbers of messages. This is also the first version coming with a Polish translation. Detailed changes:
  • All operations that can potentially modify a lot of messages are now done in stages to avoid timing out while server copies/deletes/etc the messages
  • Added progress to more message operations
  • Avoids reloading message list when deleting emails
  • Improved the Find Messages window's UI
  • Return key in the message editor now creates paragraphs instead of line breaks (hold shift to insert a line break)
  • Warns when trying to quit while there's still write operations running on server, etc
  • Improved CSS sanitization when viewing emails authored using Outlook
  • Implemented Auto-Update
  • Worked around a problem that caused longer subject lines with non-ASCII characters would sometimes end up with extra spaces added inside words
  • Fixed to refresh folder contents after deleting all messages in it
  • Fixed a case where Find Messages could get stuck forever when doing an advanced search
  • Fixed a case where message finder could continue working even after closing Find Messages window
  • Fixed a case where upon selecting a folder, the active message wouldn't automatically load
  • Updated WebKit and associated libraries
  • Added Polish translation

AmigaOS 4: Sylpheed 3.7.0 for AmiCygnix released
Edgar Schwan wrote: Version 3.7.0 of the email client Sylpheed is available for AmiCygnix (snapshot). It is based on GTK+ GUI Toolkit. The design and user interface is similar to many well-known email programs from the Windows world, such as Outlook Express.

Why another mailer? Sylpheed has a very good support of the IMAP4 protocol, which is currently only available with a few Amiga mailers. But Sylpheed also has other interesting features.

New in this release:
  • Update to the latest stable version of Sylpheed. The program was ported from scratch and some bugs were fixed that way.
  • Working remote control of Sylpheed. Sylpheed can only be started once, when started again, the options are passed to the running program.
  • Update to SQLite 3.9.3 in "bogofilter 1.2.5".
Supported protocols:
  • POP3 / APOP
  • IMAP4rev1
  • SMTP / SMTP AUTH
  • NNTP (News)
  • SSL / TLSv1 (POP3, SMTP, IMAP4rev1, NNTP)
Features:
  • multiple accounts
  • thread display
  • newsreader
  • printing
  • address book
  • templates
  • external editor (e.g. Vim, which has spell checking)
  • powerful filtering (POP3, IMAP4, local spool)
  • powerful search (query search, quick search, search folder)
  • customization of toolbar
  • mark / color label
  • and much more
