Perhaps the announcement by Michael Drake about a new toolchain
(https://www.riscosopen.org/forum/forums/1/topics/17766) is the
explanation.

Using Frank de Bruijn's latest version of Fetch_NS (2.50 17-03-2023)
allows the user to select those versions built with the new toolchain by
setting "Set Fetch_NS$NewToolchain 1" (without the quotes) in the settings
file.

Yes but 5415 to 5433 are, as a block, at the top. That leaves 5433 in the
middle of the whole list.

Interesting...
On the list as displayed here by Netsurf, from the above noted URL, 5433
is 30 items down the list, not at the top.

I use https://ci.netsurf-browser.org/builds/riscos/ and that goes as far
as 5414. I've just noticed that 5415 to 5433 are hidden away in clear
sight at the top of the list. I'd never thought of looking there.

[gccsdk] Hatari (vfp) 2.3.1-1 on riscos.info audio thread fails to initialise

To whom it may concern,

Theo Markettos suggested I post a bug report here with regard to the
hatari (vfp) 2.3.1-1 package on riscos.info.

It started with The Bard's Tale (TBT). That game consumed an Atari ST and
months of my life many decades ago. So when I discovered the build of
Hatari (vfp) 2.3.1-1 available on riscos.info, in a fit of nostalgia I
attempted to play TBT with it. However, it does not play audio. Music (of
sorts) is an integral part of TBT gameplay. The fault appears to lie
within the linked-in (customised?) build of the SDL library. Hatari's
audio thread failed to initialise. I didn't dig deeper into the binary to
try to figure out why. I was able to rebuild Hatari 2.3.1 from source
without too much trouble. I then found that audio worked as expected. So
if a customised version of SDL was indeed used, I suggest that the hatari
package on riscos.info be rebuilt and tested using the default GCCSDK
packages. I have no idea whose very-low-priority job that would be. It is
likely I'm the only person who cared, and I don't any more because my own
build works well enough. If it is nobody's job, then I'd consider making
it my job if someone could outline how I'd make it my job... if someone
cares.

It controls where the URL database is stored, ie history etc. It does
not do what you want.

We should probably provide a way to define more than one home page in
preferences to open multiple windows/tabs, but this may end up being
front-end specific rather than in the core.
