The published RISC OS source code has been updated with the following changes:
- The Wimp has had some bug fixes and has new enhancements which will allow better themes for the desktop (Fred Graute)
- A new version of Alarm has a number of improvements to its windows which make it easier to use (James Lampard)
- The DebugLib library now has new facilities for directing your debug output to SysLog or to Reporter.
- The official Acorn Clipboard module has been finished! This fully implements the Clipboard protocol and includes some new test programs, notably PutClip and GetClip (Fred Graute).
Some interesting background information about the clipboard module (from Fred himself) will be published on our wiki.

RISC OS Open are pleased to announce the availablility of a new printer dumper for RISC OS. PDumperPCL has been contributed by Herbert zur Nedden and based upon PDumperLJ, this is a dumper designed for PCL printers that support duplex printing, such as the Canon i-Sensys MF4690PL.
At the moment, this is a source code only release, with the source code living in the repository at:
castle/RiscOS/Sources/Printing/PDumpers/PDumperPCL
See the PDumperPCL/!Info file for full details. It should be treated as beta quality code for the time being. The PrintDefs component has also been updated to include a new printer definition file for the printer listed above.
An updated release of !Printers will be made available soon with this new dumper included.
Thanks,
The RISC OS Open team.

We have now opened up access to the CVS repository for the sources previously released in the Batch One source and patch tarballs. This means that for the first time, you now have access to the full changelogs for those components, and you can retrieve old versions back to those present in RISC OS 3.60.

Now that we have published some sources, we would like everyone to have all of the information they require in order to build and modify the components which have been released.
This is something which will evolve over time so keep your eye on the documentation because it is a moving target!
The first place to look if you have any problems or questions will be our wiki here at our web site.
