Nice to see Grunch getting included, hopefully this will yield sufficient support for filling its database.

Not being obsessed with privacy protection, but just curious, since there had been quite some discussion at amiga-news.de about Grunch in the past:

Can we expect that when included into MorphOS 3.x the "calling home" option (picture download for installed software found) is disabled by default?

(Sorry if that's already the case with current v1.28, my MorphOS setup is not up-to-date ATM, this will change with 3.0 release.)

Personally, I think the Panels/Subdocks is a more pressing matter, something all MorphOS users needs (not just powerbook, like the case with "Airport"), and one of the most prominent and obvious aspects of the GUI, one of the first thing you notice (as a new user) and will want to use. It should be good looking, feature rich, and easy to use!

If you don't like Ambient built-in Docks you can always use PolyNet. Me never used Ambient panels, because of their limitations.

That's exactly what I'm talking about, Ambient's current panels are too limited and AFAIK no visible development has gone into those since MorphOS 1.x or so, and it's not an ideal situation to rely on third party solutions for important parts of your OS IMHO (like when we had to use third party TCP/IP stacks, etc). In MorphOS, you don't have to download AHI, MUI, CGX, Poseidon, etc. It's included and integrated. It's there when you boot the install CD for the first time. It makes the OS complete!
MorphOS is Amiga done right!
MorphOS NG will be AROS done right!

hello,

looking at the updated 3d drivers, is there a huge gap in performance between a 9000pro and a 9800 pro ?

I'm not much interested in panels&amidocks, I think an sBar launcher may be enough for me and would integrate better wiht the OS.

I prefer toolsdaemon-like personalized menus as these are faster and make more sense on MorphOS /AmigaOS.

Then you may just need MMKeyboard or Meridian, which both support a pop down start menu.

According to a recent statement from the author, Grunch (and MagicBeacon) won't be included in MorphOS 3.0:

For the rest, even if ICeFS, Helios don't make it for 3.0 release, they're still available separately anyway. :)

Why is it so difficult to integrate a File System and a FW stack into the operating system?

3.0 is taking a lot longer than expected but looks to be the best release since 2.x
