The new Wayfarer release comes with following changes

- Implemented ClearKey DRM support for HLS media streams
- Implemented HLS stream quality switching accessible from the media popup
- Added configurable touch events emulation (think Youtube-Mobile seeking slider)
- Refactored the HLS player to allow MPEG-TS playback
- Live HLS streams now start playing closer to the current time
- Improved stream end position reporting to get some streaming services correctly skip to next stream after playing ads
- Updated libcurl

While not very popular these days, ClearKey encryption is still being used by some live streaming services. Wayfarer will now play those streams (https://tv.nrk.no for example).

The touch events emulation makes it possible to seek on mobile Youtube again.

Hi all!

Monotype/Linotype (the company I work for) has just released a free Font Value Pack for all MorphOS/AmigaOS operating systems. You can find it here:

linotype.com/8238750/MorphOSValuePack-product.html

All you need to do is to "buy" it (for 0 USD/EUR) and then download it. The package contains a wide variety of typefaces - I created this package with the intent of giving MorphOS more options when it comes to creating basically anything. I believe this selection should give us the ability to cover most typographic needs.

Hope you all enjoy it! Do let me have some feedback!

After about 5 years of development, the first non-beta release of Iris is now available for download!

Iris is the most advanced and modern mail client among all of the clients available on MorphOS and Amiga. It's the only client to support OAuth2 for GMail, Yahoo and Outlook. It's the only client to support full html viewing and editing of emails, thanks to the inclusion of a stripped down WebKit. Iris is the application that has sparked off countless innovations in other parts of the OS, including adding ObjectiveC support and Unicode support into MUI.

Getting to the 1.0 version would not have been possible without the support of all of the betatesters, translators and users who either donated to the project or sent me bugreports and logs. I would also like to single out Christoph Poelzl of https://rms-communications.ch for all of his contributions and pushing me to add features to meet his business use cases. Iris would not have been what it is now without your input. Thank you!

There's still a long TODO for Iris, so keep looking out for future updates.

Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are back on your screen with a major update of hURL - the ultimate multi-protocol data transfer plugin for Hollywood which allows Hollywood scripts to transfer data using all kinds of different network protocols including full SSL support. Version 1.2 is a major update that now supports Hollywood 9's extended network adapter so that Hollywood's DownloadFile() and UploadFile() functions can now handle all protocols supported by hURL instead of just HTTP. This makes it much easier to use hURL because you often don't have to use hURL's lowlevel interface any longer but can just use DownloadFile() or UploadFile() instead.
