Wayfarer, the MorphOS web browser, now based on WebKitGTK 2.52.5.

The browser comes in two builds. The standard Wayfarer binary is now the JIT build, and Wayfarer-Light omits JIT, media playback and GL rendering. Rendering has moved to the Skia graphics library. R300-R500 Radeons now draw web pages with Skia-GL for vast performance improvements, and canvas is accelerated with TinyGL where possible. JavaScript and WebAssembly are faster, with a new WASM interpreter, SIMD support and further JIT optimizations. Many parts of WebKit gained AltiVec code paths, including WebP decoding, which is dramatically faster. Cloudflare Turnstile challenges now pass, and the browser switches the user agent automatically for sites that need it.

Media support is much improved, with vastly better YouTube playback, fixes for seeking and HLS streams, faster Web Audio, and Gamepad support. Slow codecs such as VP9 have been dropped. An auto-installed user script also speeds up YouTube loading and blocks video ads.

The MorphOS development team is proud to announce the public release of MorphOS 3.21! This release focuses on stability, security and performance improvements, and also introduces a few new components.

MorphOS 3.21 introduces BasicWorks, an office suite made up of CellBasics and PageBasics. It offers document and spreadsheet authoring and loads and saves Microsoft Office and OpenOffice documents. Also new are NVMEMount, an auto-mounter for booting from and mounting NVMe partitions, and the Marbles and Cyber 3D blankers.

Graphics performance has been improved, with a faster Radeon driver on cards with little video memory thanks to GART backed bitmap transfers, quicker TinyGL texture copies, hardware accelerated antialiased text in TTEngine and much faster color SVG glyph rendering in Cairo. The Bcm43xx wireless driver has been substantially reworked, with automatic transmit rate selection, updated firmware and numerous connection fixes. PowerBook and iMac hotkeys are now fully configurable.

Numerous stability and security fixes and library updates are included throughout the system, among them OpenSSL 4.1.0, FreeType 2.15.0, HarfBuzz 15.0.0, ObjFW 1.5.7 and OpenSSH 10.6p1 in RemoteShell. For a complete overview of the changes included in MorphOS 3.21, please read the release notes.

We strongly urge new users to carefully read our installation and troubleshooting guides before they attempt to install MorphOS for the first time. Existing users can upgrade via the familiar procedure but are encouraged to read the guides as well. MorphOS 3.21 is available for download in our files section.

Koliber, the zooming presentation editor for MorphOS — an infinite canvas with a camera path flown step by step — reaches its first full release.

What’s new

• A .koliberx package now holds everything the presentation uses — fonts, clips, fills and music — and opens exactly as it was made on another computer.
• Eight languages in every window, following the Locale preferences, with catalogs included.
• Scripting: the editor opens the GREXX port KOLIBER.1 with 37 commands, and a Macros menu comes with five sample scripts.
• Speaker notes for every step, written to PowerPoint and shown by the HTML player.
• The HTML export draws shadows, glow and outlines, uses the presentation’s own fonts and keeps fills, rounded corners and clipping.
• PowerPoint keeps rounded corners and the background on every slide; fonts travel with a presentation.
• The MUI editor catches up: caret keys while typing, undoable font and size, step notes, inserting 3D models, and a smooth camera path setting.
• A two-minute tour presentation in every package, and a manual with a step-by-step tutorial plus intermediate and expert guides in eight languages.
• Smaller things: an opened file shows its first step, Shift+click adds to the selection, and the soundtrack field is simply “Music”.
