*Posted by Lars Nelson on behalf of Robert Bernardo. I'll be showing off the SamFlex 440 @800 Mhz, AmigaOne G4, Amiga OS4.1 update 2, Timberwolf, OWB, AmigaForever 2009, and more.

We're happy to announce the availability of the first Alpha release of Timberwolf, the AmigaOS port of the popular Firefox browser.

Timberwolf needs AmigaOS 4.1 Update 2 installed. Please read the documentation for information about usage and limitations.

This is an alpha release, meaning it will have a lot of problems still, and be slower than it should be. We are releasing it as a small "Thank you" to all those that have donated in the past, to show that development is still going on.

Timberwolf is available on os4depot.net . For further information and feedback, check the Timberwolf support forum on amigans.net.
