Vývojářský tým MorphOS s potěšením oznamuje vydání operačního systému MorphOS 2.7. Nová verze opravuje několik problémů z MorphOS 2.6 a přináší pár novinek. Jádro MophOS 2.7 opravuje podporu PowerPC 7410, 7450 a přidává experimentální podporu PowerPC 7448. Dále byl opraven výpis informací u CPU karet, které neaktualizují OpenFirmware informace (velikost L2 cache, AltiVec, atd.).
U podpory grafických karet byl na Power Mac počítačích opraven ovladač pro ATI Radeon 9800 PRO a dále byla opravena podpora hardwarového kurzoru u některých Radeon 9600 a 9800. Ovladač Rage128 opravuje chybu v inicializaci.
Webový prohlížeč OWB byl aktualizován na nejnovější verzi 1.11 a prohlížeč obrázků ShowGirls na 1.2.
Byla také opravena chyba v HDConfigu u MAC disku při změně oddílů.
V grabovací utilitě Grabber je opraveno snímání 3D obrazovek.
Dále byla přidána podpora země Malta.
