Various bits of news from the AmiZilla front. "Firstly, oli has finished his GTK->MUI AROS Bounty. Also, OS4 people have ported the the GTK->MUI emulation layer from AmigaOS3.1 to AmigaOS4." Other than that, the AmiZilla project will be recieving help from a group of students from King's College (London) as part of their practical coursework. "AmiZilla has been split up into individual projects for them- as we have five students, we have added in creating a GTK->Reaction layer to AmigaOS4, and maybe porting AmiZilla to MorphOS and AROS, as well as the AmigaOS 3.1 target."

Speed and Memory consumption are the reason for the translation layer. MUI on MorphOS and Reaction on AmigaOS 4 have come a long way from their roots on AmigaOS 2 and 3. Having yet another graphics toolkit would ultimately kill these platforms since they weren't designed for capacity (virtual memory drivers) but for the home user that desires more responsive performance than the "Big 3" OS manufacturers can provide (and that includes Linux).
