`12.Aug.2004` Jörg Renkert (ANF)	AmiChameleon V1.35 Released The theme installation program AmiChameleon has reached version 1.35. The following changes have been implemented: After Thilo Köhler reorganized the skins of his ArTKanoid, AmiChameleon was adapted. It now supports the new skins as well as the new sounds. It's immediately possible to have the AmiChameleon server check for certain program updates. Every time AmiChameleon starts (if this feature is activated and you're online) it checks to see if a new version is available from the server and notifies the user accordingly. AmiChameleon is now available in 68k and WarpOS versions. The localization data and installation script have been updated. AmiChameleon v1.35 is available on the developer's homepage as a free download. (snx) (Translation: dm) [News message: 12.

Stereo separation setting was not always set properly. Another task-switching Direct3D/OpenGL-mode problem. Other bugs: Picasso96 black screen after CTRL-ALT-DEL.
