Software News   Software News : Origyn for AROS nears completion, gains extra features
   posted by Petah on 12-Jan-2009 18:18:30 (5906 reads)
In an update over at RootNode.net, AROS developer Stanisław Szymczyk recently suggested that the bounty for a modern web browswer for the open source AmigaOS-derived operating system nears completion as his ongoing work with the Origyn browser is starting to yield results.

Mr Szymczyk states that apart from several new additions to the AROS software suite - including a brand new build of the popular SDL application platform - Origyn will gain a few extra features, including browser tabs similar to what users of Internet Explorer 7 are used to.

Thanks to its open source nature, Mr Szymczyk's enhancements are expected to be available for backporting to AmigaOS in the near future.

Interested parties may want to know that the AROS browser bounty is still open for donations at Power2People.org. Current funds add up to €141 plus $989 USD.

About Origyn
Origyn is a free web browser originally designed for cell phones, set top boxes and other consumer electronic gadgets. It rests on an SDL-implemented version of Apple's WebKit rendering engine. The AmigaOS version is available exclusively for OS 4.0/4.1 and is to this date the only Amiga HTML browser with official support for Cascading Style Sheets. Since the its introduction in December 2007, Origyn for AmigaOS has enjoyed several updates stirring up quite some interest among Amiga users in the process.

This is really exciting. I wonder if it would later be possible to have MUI version with tabs on OS4?

Argh, what link do I click on?

And why use IE7 as an example for browser tabs? Not only did it come to the game years after other browsers had them, the implementation in IE7 is slow and clunky.
