With this year’s London Show drawing ever nearer – the doors will be open to the public in just two days on 25th October, at the Harrow District Masonic Centre – another announcement has landed in the RISCOSitory bunker, and, amongst other interesting news, this one includes something we’ve all been eagerly awaiting for a very long time: a public release of web browser Iris from RISC OS Developments.

In the run up to the recent London Show, RISC OS Developments released an updated version of RISC OS Direct, their customised and more user-enticing distribution of RISC OS – and it was a very important update, because it also marked the first public release of their web browser, Iris, which is now bundled in the distro.
