Beat you t0lkien! :)

Zero drama APU. Saw the new version when I started wayfarer and just updated it. A thing of beauty. The last version was noticeably better in many regards, especially with YouTube. I will have to use this one awhile until I report back...

Thanks to Jaca for all his hard work! If anyone deserves a donation, he is the guy...

MorphOS doesn't have the legal right to use AmigaOS(TM), just as SteamOS can run Windows games, and SteamOS doesn't call itself Windows.

MorphOS Wayfarer 11 doesn't run on AmigaOS 4.1 FE nor AmigaOS 3.x. LOL

Yes, you are right. We all know It in 2026.
But I am not sure MorphOS needs any amigaos sticker anyway.

Wayfarer 11.50

This is the first time an Amiga-compatible 32-bit big-endian system has had a browser with a speculative JIT (*).
This tier offers a typical speed improvement of 6x on most websites and up to 11x in Kraken benchmarks.
Also enabled is the YARR regular expression JIT, which significantly improves load times on websites that rely heavily on regex.
WebSocket Extensions support fixes various web services.
This release also brings improvements to the garbage collector, memory footprint, and scroll handling.

Wayfarer now comes in two variants: the JIT version requires systems with at least 1 GB of RAM (2 GB recommended).



Ported LLINT and baseline-JIT from Odyssey-JIT by Mark Olsen
Ported Data Flow Graph JIT compiler (2nd tier JIT) to PowerPC.
DFG usually results in a speed improvement of 5-6x vs non-JIT Wayfarer and up to 11x in Kraken 1.1 and 4x in ARES-6
Enabled some FTL JIT optimizations
Ported YARR (regular expressions) JIT to PowerPC
Implemented WebSocket extensions support
Fixed countless endianness bugs, including a few affecting C_LOOP
Fine-tuned the garbage collector
Added an internal arena allocator to reduce memory fragmentation
Introduced various memory and performance optimizations.
Removed disk-based caches entirely
Improved scroller handling
