Over at SAFIR.AmigaOS.se we are giving away an Amiga 1200 with Blizzard1220 accelerator to the member who can best motivate why he/she should receive an extra present this year! The deadline is 00:00 1/1 2007 and the contest is for new and old members of SAFIR.

More info and rules (in Swedish) here.

Edgar Schwan (aka CygnusEd) has ported a new Window manager for its X11. Now the style is like Aqua!
In this image you can see how it is cool!

The browser is the GTK2 Webcore test project and yes.. it supports the css..

It's that time of the year again, some celebrate Festivus or Kwanza, some get to build snowmen and others throw shrimps on the barbie and surf at the beach. The Aminet team however, spend the season working for you, always trying to improve Aminet. This is what has happened since last time:

Finally, just in time for Christmas, a new issue of Total Amiga is on its way to the subscribers.
It was a close run thing but the printing went as expected, and we made it in time :)

The issue has been sent by first class mail to the subscribers within the UK, so they should receive it before Christmas.

Total Amiga is happy to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year with a brand new issue, number 25.

Steven Solie has ported OpenSSH to AmigaOS 4.0.

This includes ssh, sftp, scp, ssh-keygen, ssh-keyscan and ssh-keysign.

The Amiga version of Pure Basic is now open source. This is the email of Fr?d?ric Laboureur

As the AmigaOS version of PureBasic is not actively supported anymore, we decided to open as much code as we could do. Therefore, the whole commandset of PureBasic (beware, written completely in 680x0 assembly), the IDE and some other tools are available for modification. As the compiler source is shared between all the versions of PureBasic, it remains closed.
If you do a bug fix, an improvement or anything else which could make PureBasic for AmigaOS better, don't hesitate to send us your patch, it will be included in the next release.
We don't plan to work on the AmigaOS libraries anymore, but the compiler has been ported using the lastest v4.00 branch, so we will support any future version of the compiler, but without implementing CPU specific features. For example, the "Macros" are available on AmigaOS 4.00 compiler, as it's a compiler feature, but "quad" and "double" are not, as they need a CPU specific implementation.

And before you ask, the guide says:
- 68000 and 68020+ support (PowerPC support in progress).

Ruby - a dynamic, open source programming language with a focus on simplicity and productivity. It has an elegant syntax that is natural to read and easy to write.

Grab it from OS4Depot (version 1.8.5).
