Web browser: NetSurf 3.9dev (SDL version)
Artur Jarosik has released an update of his Amiga port of the web browser NetSurf. His port uses  - in contrary to Chris Young's native, Reaction-based version - SDL. Only the preferences pane is MUI-based.

Confirmed by tests of our editor Daniel Reimann, the update fixes problems with the mouse pointer and also the graphical user-interface works without any problems. Our readers may test if under Amithlon now https websites again can be accessed. Using an Amiga 1200 with Blizzard 1230 and AmigaOS 3.9 our amiga-news website could be accessed easily. Detailed changes:
  • Updated to newest sources
  • New EaglePlayer.rexx script - improved mod playback from modules.pl and modarchive.org
  • Fixed mp4 and mpeg conversion playback from youtube
  • Updated https certificates file ca-bundle
  • Updated default.css
  • Allow one more char in Hotlinks
  • Fixed double pointer on scroll buttons
  • Corrected url position on resize
  • Works on 030 again

Book: Getting Started with Warp3D Nova
Originally published on his blog, on the advice of a programmer Hans de Ruiter has reworked and extended his lessons about his 3D system "Warp 3D Nova" and published it as book on Amazon. A print version for 26 Euro as well as an eBook for 5 Euro are available.

"Getting started with..." provides the following chapters:
  • Tutorial 1: Create a window
  • Tutorial 2: Hello triangle - draw something
  • Tutorial 3: A splash of algorithmic colour - procedural texture mapping
  • Tutorial 4: Colour another way - per-vertex colour
  • Tutorial 5: 3D at last - draw a cube
  • Tutorial 6: 3D lighting - add lighting to the scene
  • Tutorial 7: Animation - making objects move
  • Tutorial 8: Adding texture - texture-mapping
  • Tutorial 9: Normal mapping - extra realism with surface bumps and features
  • Warp3D Nova gotchas - easy mistakes and how to avoid them
  • GLSL shader debugging - tools and tips
  • Where to go from here - next steps in your graphics programming journey
Hint of the editors: The eBook is a Kindle edition thus first has to be converted (inclusive removing the DRM protection) for using with other devices. Otherwise you can access it with the latest Amazon app. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Amiga Demo Launcher v1.6b
The demo group Resistance presents their first public (beta) version of the Amiga Demo Launcher.

Amiga Demo Launcher (ADL) is an application to replay executable file demos from a playback queue.

Some featues:
  • Replays many old OCS file demos on an AGA Amiga with a 68060 CPU
  • Single playback queue entries can be also created directly
  • Supports a reset device which is connected at the serial port of your Amiga, it counts down a given playtime and does a hardware reset if it reached the end value. After that, the next demo will be fetched out of the playback queue and get played
For more information, read the AmigaGuide file which is included within the archive.

Download: RSE-ADL16b.lha (9 MB) (snx)
