Software News Summary: WookieChat, SystemPatch, Urltext.mcc (Update)
WookieChat 1.5
The IRC-Client WookieChat 1.5 is now available for Amiga 68k and AmigaOS4 (screenshot). The current version mainly cleaned up bugs.
SystemPatch 2.93
SystemPatch changes various OS routines in order to improve the performance of systems with newer 68k processors. Most of these were implemented for 060 systems, but it's useable on all Amigas with at least a 68020.
Urltext.mcc 19.7
Alfonso Ranieri has released an update of the MUI class Urltext.mcc bringing it to version 19.7. This serves to illuminate the dsiplay of URLs.
Download:
WookieChat1.5.lha (408 KB)
SystemPatch2.lha (40 KB)
MCC_Urltext.lha (34 KB)
Update: (11:42, 02.03.05, snx)
In the meantime WookieChat has appeared at version 1.5.1. With this release, only the separate timer task has been removed, because this consumed 99 % of the processor time under MorphOS. In lieu thereof, timer.device is now used.
