Aminet back online, volunteers needed
To compensate the breakdown of us.aminet.net, a new Aminet main server has been established which can be reached at
www.aminet.net or main.aminet.net. Aminet now uses a completely
new web interface written by Nicolas Mendoza, originally implemented for amirepo.net. As most of the internal
scripts as well as the new web interface had to be adapted or have been rewritten from scratch, there still might be some rough edges, smaller
bugs or dead links left - but Aminet is working again and uploads are getting processed.

IRC-Client: WookieChat 1.4 (Beta)
WookieChat is a MUI-based IRC-client for AmigaOS 3/4
(screenshot).
In version 1.4 "DCC GET" as well as the support for colourful texts have been added.
According to the author the colour support does not still work perfectly: Iconifying
or starting the MUI-Prefs may cause colour bugs if the program uses a seperate screen.
This can be undone by entering "/a".
The 68k-version becomes instable after some server connections because the
string which contains the nickname is overwritten in the memory. The author is grateful
for some feedback.

Airsoft Softwair: Malibu Video Released
For everybody who doesn't have Malibu yet, but is interested in how it looks when a Scala presentation is loaded from the Workbench, there's now a presentation video on Airsoft Softwair's homepage (title link) in which diverse presentations are run with Hollywood 1.9 and Malibu 1.1.
Please pay attention to the fact that Malibu requires at least version 1.9 of Hollywood. It can't run without Hollywood because it's just a plugin that relies on Hollywood's Multimedia Application Layer. Malibu, Hollywood, and Hollywood Designer are available in native versions for 68k, MorphOS and WarpUP.

Nexus Development: Alternative audio.device for MorphOS
Emanuele Cesaroni of Nexus Development has released an alternative audio.device for MorphOS that channels calls to the original Amiga audio.device aimed at the custom chip Paula to the RTA layer of AHI. However software that directly targets the Amiga hardware instead of making use of the OS also doesn't run with eaudio.device.
The device was put together through reverse-engineering. The author asks that you carefully read the explanation text for eaudio.device.

Meridian 2.12 Released for AmigaOS 3.x and MorphOS
Guido Mersmann released version 2.12 of Meridian, a commodity that allows programs to be called in the manner of a PDA using handwriting recognition as virtual hotkeys. The startpoint and direction of mouse movement play a role and allow the use of countless combinations that may be freely used.
With Meridian you can leaf through screens and windows, close windows, close requesters, and start programs and actions with just a movement of the mouse. This all occurs without a visible interface, pop-up menu, or dock. Only the pointer appears on the screen.
This version contains some new features and minor improvements, among them a workaround for the "drifting directory" problem that was solved by fixing a bug in the input.device for MorphOS.
Features:
- Commodity
- Online help
- Locale Support
