AmigaGuide to HTML converter: GuideML 3.17 for AmigaOS 3/4
GuideML is an AmigaGuide to HTML converter which can convert most AmigaGuides and since v3.1 also has a GUI (amiga-news.de reported). The tool was originally written by Richard Körber and now is available in version 3.17. Changes:
  • Add basic support for \ at {system command with openurl command.
  • Add colour theme management with new light and dark colour themes in addition to the default AmigaGuide compatible one.
The command line version now requires OS2.1 (but no longer tested by the author) while the GUI version at least requires AmigaOS 3.2. The archive includes also a version for AmigaOS 4.

The program is open source, the source code available on GitHub. (dr)

AmigaOS 4: Version 6.10 of audio driver for Intel HD Audio
The AHI driver for AmigaOS 4 written by Harald Kanning supports PCIe cards with sound chips that meet the HD Audio specification (amiga-news.de reported). The archive also contains a simple "mixer" which can be used to control the volume. Now the developer has released an update to version 6.10 with the following changes:
  • Added Mixer option to limit Recording resolution to 16bit. This is required for programs which do not work with larger recording resolutions (eg. HD-Rec and AE4)
  • Added additional Tooltypes for the Docky to position the docky window manually
AmigaOS 4.1 FE Update 2 (the author has not tested it under previous versions) and AHI 6.6 are required. (dr)

AmigaOS 4: SMB2 handler smb2fs V53.3
The Server Message Block (SMB) is a network protocol for file, print and other server services in computer networks and allows access to files and directories located on another computer (Wikipedia entry). Fredrik Wikstrom's SMB2 handler is based on libsmb2 and allows remote access to files via the SMB2/3 protocols (amiga-news.de reported). Version 53.3, released a few momentsa go, includes the following changes:
  • Added a workaround for smb2_rmdir() not returning an error when trying to delete a non-empty directory.
  • Added support for READONLY switch.
  • If the reported f_blocks is larger than INT32_MAX statfs() will reduce it and compensate by making the block size larger (that way at least programs that use the id_NumBlocks, id_NumBlocksUsed and id_BytesPerBlock fields to calculate used and free percentages will report reasonable results).
The newlib.library V53.40 or newer (or V53.30, included in AmigaOS 4.1 FE) and the filesysbox.library V54.4 or newer are required. (dr)

Point'n Click adventure: NEONnoir V1.1.1
The English point'n click adventure game "NEONnoir" (video) was developed with AmiBlitz for the Amiga Blitz Basic Game Jam. As a down-and-out private detective, the player has to track down a drug-addicted daughter from a good family (amiga-news.de reported). Now the developer has released a new version with some bug fixes.

Among other things, the dialogue was improved, including the error that cut off some words, and the text in general by correcting spelling mistakes or mixing tenses. (dr)
