MorphOS 3.14 and a new web browser released
 

The MorphOS development team is proud to announce the immediate availability of MorphOS 3.14. While mostly a maintenance and stability release, this update also brings multiple technological improvements in the kernel. Out of these, the most notable are TLS support in exec.library, updates to the Netstack and ixemul.library.
Wayfarer, a new web browser based on a modern mid-2020 branch of WebKit is now available for download from wayfarer.icu. This new app makes it possible to browse most of the web that have become off-limits for Odyssey with its ageing engine. Google apps like Docs, Drive and Maps with Street view are supported just as the Whatsapp or Telegram web interfaces.

:great

Coolness

Wow. That's amazing...

Great work from the MorphOS team! Excelent!

Definitely going to give it a go on my G4

Posting this from my G4 Mac Mini under MorphOS as we speak using Wayfarer 1.1!

Fast enough?

For forums, yes. For Facebook, no. But that's no major loss.

AmigaOne X5K GFX board supported....now?

I don't have the material to run it but kudos for the work @all involved :great
