As the first release of 2009, we have prepared an update pack for the now out-of-date MorphOS 1.4.x which includes various minor improvements. Most notably, the archive includes several libraries that are required to stay compatible with new software releases, such as future Ambient versions and applications relying on PowerSDL, as many developers continue to migrate to MorphOS 2.x.
The Update Pack for MorphOS 1.4.x is available for download in our files section. To install the update, unpack the archive and copy all files to your system partition. Please take special note that this update is not intented to be installed on MorphOS 2.x and higher.
The MorphOS development team is proud to announce the public release of MorphOS 2.2, a free update for users of MorphOS 2.1 and 2.0. In addition to numerous bug fixes, MorphOS 2.2 includes additional optimizations and new features such as Kryptos, a disk encryption suite. For an overview of the included changes, please read our release notes.

As a precursor to a more substantial SDK update to be released in the future, the MorphOS development team has prepared a package of MorphOS 2.1 system includes for interested third party developers. It was designed as an intermediate drop-in replacement for the os-include part found in the current version of the MorphOS SDK. Regardless of what MorphOS version you develop for, an update is beneficial in any case as the archive includes various fixes and improvements, such as support for the latest release of the VBCC compiler.
In order to use the MorphOS 2.1 system includes, it is suggested to either replace the older archive with this one during a fresh installation of the SDK, or to extract the archive and then replace your os-include directory (Special note: do not simply copy the content). The package can be downloaded in our files section.
The MorphOS development team is proud to announce the public release of MorphOS 2.1, a free update for users of MorphOS 2.0. In addition to numerous bug fixes, MorphOS 2.1 includes several new features. Some of the most notable ones are the much anticipated sound driver for EFIKA mainboards, a 2D driver for XGI Volari V3XT graphics cards and a virtual CybergraphX monitor (for operating MorphOS without the use of a graphics card via VNCServer). For an overview of the included changes and possible limitations of the forementioned features, please read our release notes.
A description of the hardware requirements and installation procedures can be found here. MorphOS 2.1 is available for download in our files section.

A new version of the Just-In-Time Compiler TRANCE has been released. The changes since the previous release are:
- Fixed a bug that would make certain IBrowse CPU versions crash (at least IBrowse 2.3 and 2.4)
- Some SAS/C float/double integer calculation fixes (lsd/asd X flag). For example, the integer version of IBrowse's javascript.library.
- addx/subx with predecrement was fixed. These instructions are very rare, but could be used for some multiprecision math.
- Trancestats has been updated to work properly with the latest MUI versions.
In order to install Trance v50.12 (09.12.2006) on your MorphOS system, please download the update from the MorphOS download portal or FTP server. Then, follow these steps:

- now with 666% more evil than the competitors
- fixed A4000T mainboard SCSI support
- added missing execute protection flags for 68k monitor drivers
- added missing #?Monitor prefs files for 68k monitor drivers

The MorphOS development team would like to inform all Pegasos owners that new versions of "parallel.device" and "rtl_8139pci.device" are available for download. The files can be obtained by registered users from either the FTP server or the usual download website.
Pegasos owners who do not make use of the parallel port or rtl based ethernet cards when running MorphOS, may skip these updates as they will not provide any benefits. Everyone else is advised to install the new files to further enhance their MorphOS activities.
As of May 9th 2006, German email service provider GMX has blocked all mails coming from morphos-team.net. Furthermore, it does not accept outgoing mails to morphos-team.net either because it wrongly categorizes the morphos-team.net IP address to be in a dialup IP range. GMX blocks any communication with hosts in such ranges by default.
Feel free to visit www.gmx.net/serverrules/ for details.
Please note that affected users have no way to change this behaviour by modifying the anti-spam settings of their GMX account.
The GMX customer service (support@gmx-gmbh.de) was contacted but failed to understand the problem and could not provide assistance in the matter. As it is unclear at this point whether GMX will be able or willing to solve the problem, we hereby suggest all MorphOS users with an affected email address to resubscribe to the support mailinglists with a non-GMX address. In order to do this, please fill out the form found at support.morphos-team.net.
Also, please take note that the PowerUP registration process is hindered by this as well, so do not try to register using a GMX address.
