The good thing about it was that we have discovered the security issue and fixed it.

Issue 64 (January/February 2006) of the Amiga Future has been released.

 A new update of libnix has been released for MorphOS. Changes include:

• stdio init no longer reads off bounds memory if __stdiowin is set to "" (it is still not valid to do so, though (read SAS/C docs)).
• strcoll/xfrm won't pull in libauto/external LocaleBase any more.
• mbstowcs/wcstombs behaves properly when destination is NULL (they are still dummies, however, so do not expect widechar to work).
• no more semaphore lockups that could occur in certain situations (thanks to HAK for finding such a situation!)

Today the try-outs and the preview of the Amiga Future issue 64 (January/February 2007) have gone online.

You can find a more detailed description of contents following the link http://www.amigafuture.de/forum/kb.php?mode=article&k=581 .

A new version of the Just-In-Time Compiler TRANCE has been released. The changes since the previous release are:

• Fixed a bug that would make certain IBrowse CPU versions crash (at least IBrowse 2.3 and 2.4)
  
• Some SAS/C float/double integer calculation fixes (lsd/asd X flag). For example, the integer version of IBrowse's javascript.library.
• addx/subx with predecrement was fixed. These instructions are very rare, but could be used for some multiprecision math.
• Trancestats has been updated to work properly with the latest MUI versions.

The MorphOS Team wishes everyone Happy Holidays and a Great New Year!
