`16.Aug.2006`	IRC client: Wookiechat 2.3.1 The latest version of James Carrolls' MUI based IRC client Wookiechat has been bugfixed , also the archive includes several translations now. Now translated to Polish, Swedish, Norwegian, German and French! I've attempted to fix the instability when using DCC SEND under OS3/MOS.. please report back to me if anyones still having problems RESUME support added for outgoing DCC SEND (Incoming RESUME has worked for quite some time, but now it works both ways) There used to be startup text if wookie couldnt load a catalog for your default language. I've since changed this so you only see this text if you run wookie with the "debug" option from shell. (cg) (Translation: ub) [News message: 16.

`16.Aug.2006` amigaworld.net (Webseite)	AmigaOS 4: Instant messenger Epistula The latest version of the instant messengers Epistulacomes with several minor extensions and improvements. There is a plugin for the messaging services AIM/ICQ by AOL available now. The changes in detail: Documentation is provided in PDF form. All imagery within Epistula is now user configurable. I've used PNG images as IFF won't display correctly on my machine. Note a word of warning though; don't try and use a PNG image with more than 256 colours as it will crash. I need to adapt my code to work with high colour images first. You can now add and remove contacts to and from your contact list, although this will also depend on that functionality being implemented fully in the plugin. Contacts can be moved (dragged and dropped) to and from any groups you have with your contact list. Note that I've found a nasty bug in the add group functionality, so it's disabled for now. A fix will be released VERY soon. Full logging is provided should you need it. If I'm missing anything which you'd like implemented and added to the logs, drop me a line and I'll see it's added for the next update. Docky icon implemented, although it doesn't do anything yet and looks err, dark. Best leave it off until I'm finished with it. Updated catalogs and missing translations from last version fixed. If you spot anything which isn't translated let me know so I can fix it. Note that you should remove any old epistula.catalogs. Nicely re-written plugin removal code which uses new features of dos.library to stop those awful crashes and 'Cannot quit plugin' messages. Your installed MUI Classes are checked to make sure they're the correct version or above. The ICQ-/AIM plugin is called "TOC" and has been tested with the official client of these services. The program has surpassed all tests already, but since this is the first release the author guesses there might be some glitches still.. File transmission as well as sorting the "Buddy list" is not yet implemented. (cg) (Translation: ub) [News message: 16.

`15.Aug.2006` Carsten Siegner (ANF)	Hardware-Hack: Shutting down Pegasos with software Carsten Siegner has developed a hardware-hack which makes it possible shutting down the Pegasos with software. With the current version of MorphOS this is not possible because the Firmware is completely hidden. Siegners hack consists of a little wiring which will be connected to the floppy-port of the Pegasos and then can shut down the ATX-power pack of the Pegasos. It is released by little tool developed by Guido Meersmann which controls the connection with the help of the trackdisk.device. Installation: The tool "MotorTool_MOSPPC" must be renamed to "Shutdown" and then copied to MOSSYS:C. After building and connecting the hardware now you can shut down the computer with entering "Shutdown" in a Shell-window. Some versions of Ambient contain the menu point "shut down" - because this also calls up MOSSYS:C/Shutdown the command should shut down the computer as well. The author points out that he gives no liability if there should be any harm to the hardware which are caused by copying this wiring. You also should have a closer look at the Readme in the programm archive "Motortool.lha".

`15.Aug.2006` (ANF)	Status-Update of KHTML-port Marcin 'Marcik' Kwiatkowski has completed the FAQ to his KHTML-port with further aspects: The publication of a first beta version is planned for September or October. A few source codes of some parts of the project will be not released. But the complete souce code will be given to morphzone.org in order to have the guarantee that the project will be developed further if the author should lose the interest. The MorphOS-version will be supplied for free. Currently versions for other operating systems (AmigaOS, AROS) are not developed. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 15.
