I don't care if it's x86, ARM, the Raspberry Pi or whatever as long as it's 64 bit, will be supported for a long time and doesn't cost an arm and a leg (like the POWER8 and 9).

Here my list for 2019:

- Few months ago I couldn't download my key registration file from Yahoo Mail using OWB, I had to use OSX. Hopefully OWB is still improving.

- People dreaming 64 bit OS but I can't figure out why MOS still doesn't use more than 1.5 GB Ram.

- Do we have any editing video app in MOS?

Well, did you try the new Iris email client? This should be a better option than using a generic web browser for managing email on MorphOS.

MorphOS can use up to 1.7 GB of memory now. In order to stay compatible with software developed for Commodore Ax00 computers, MorphOS is stuck with a 2GB memory space for the time being.

Blender can be used for video editing AFAIK.

Did you test this USB device with MorphOS 3.11? If yes, you can add it to that thread and note whether or not it works.

Not necessarily. My impression is since the Retro Wave swept over to the PPC-Macs being retro now, there seems more activity than the years before. Firefox (65) re-gained BE and ppc64 support (klick) to the point it actually runs on real hardware, though it is crashy still. If it's true what I heard on the Talos IRC channel the Moz-Foundation even got access to one box at RaptorCSwhere they can test their stuff explicitely on ppc/BE. For Chromium also ppc patches are getting in (klick), though LE and the project is much less cooperative than Mozilla. And there is ArcticFox, a browser port to specifically support ppc/ppc64 BE (klick). Also most open source projects I filed upstream ppc/ppc64 bugreports (tigervnc, crypto++, freerdp, ...) were responsive and had interest to fix their ppc/ppc64 bugs, be it BE or not.

32bit support will not be dropped from projects easily because of ARM/Raspberry Pi. What is being dropped is 32bit/x86 from major Linux Distros.

Of course I understand your arguments. Multicore support and OS-support for > 2 GiB RAM surely will help browser & web experience. And not that I am telling you ppc/be future looks bright, but it's just that IMO it looks better than 2-3 years before.

Come on, you are an Amiga user and accustomed to expensive custom hardware. You may be spoiled by MorphOS where you can get an el-cheapo PPC-Mac to run the latest version of the OS.

At least this part isn't necessary as you can also boot MorphOS directly from the ISO image instead.

Anyway here's y list for 2019:

MorphOS

MorphOS 3.12/3.13 - not too much known about it publically and not as urgently anticipated as 3.10, but is in the works and should be out somewhen within the next 365 days. Hopefully Odyssey gets further improved (compability,JS-JIT)

Wish: Some roadmap/first signs for MorphOS x64?
Wish: Support for Raptor Blackbird as another stopgap.


Applications:

Hollywood 8 will probably come and offer very nice new features (Andreas is a hero!)
Amigazeux is back - eager to see more from them
jPV will probably release some gems.
Maybe we'll see FinalWriter coming out?


For my projects:

After I had little time to do some coding in 2018 I will release something new in 2019. At least a person contact and information manager is pretty progressed and I am looking forward to a first release early 2019. And there is more in the works.

I hope to participate on some user event in 2019.

Release something 6 times.

I'm gonna count 3.12 as 1 leaving "only" 5 ;)
