MorphOS.pl is happy to announce two new bounties. First one is to port open source Spotify client, called Despotify for MorphOS. Second project is implementing a PowerPC code generator for Webkit, allowing it to compile Javascript code into native PowerPC code. When bounty will be finished, this code will be implemented in the latest available version of Odyssey Web Browser for MorphOS. Also two latest bounty for Open XCOM port and Return to the Roots ports has been finished. If you wish to contribute to any of the bounties please visit our site.


I find interesting the Javascript JIT Compiler for PowerPC but I'd like to know if it's going to be based or integrated inside other major JS JIT... I mean: will it be a v8 port? I would prefer that the changes got integrated in a mainstream JS JIT as perhaps other developers could help to maintain it. A v8 PowerPC port could be interesting...

@nicholas&Stevo&pampers

thx for your answers, I thought JS JITs for PPC were non existant with the honorable exception of TenFourFox JS JIT.

Since chrome was based on webkit I assumed v8 would be easy to adapt to OWB.

Since the coder is BigFoot I'm sure the final result will be excellent.

Donated some bucks so good old Bigfoot can enjoy some pizzas.
