SimCity for animals: Microtopia
'Microtopia' (video) is described by the developer as a "prototype of a city-building simulation", in which a city for crows, beavers and moths is to be built on randomly generated maps. Numerous features that are still missing are to be added in later versions. The title was developed for the Amiga Blitz Basic Game Jam and requires an Amiga with one megabyte of RAM. The game also runs on a 68000 processor, but here it occasionally runs a bit halting. (cg)

MorphOS 3.17: openssl3.library November Hotfix
The MorphOS developer team has announced: "New vulnerabilities have been identified and fixed for the version of OpenSSL that is included in MorphOS 3.17. Two discovered issues, namely CVE-2022-3786 and CVE-2022-3602, were found to potentially affect MorphOS users.

A fixed OpenSSL library will be bundled with a future MorphOS release. Meanwhile, you can download the following replacement openssl3.library that fixes the problem for MorphOS 3.17. To install it, copy the file to MOSSYS:Libs and reboot." (dr)

Encryption protocol: AmiSSL 5.5 (AmigaOS 3/4)
The open source encryption protocol AmiSSL has been updated to version 5.5 and is now based on the latest OpenSSL 3.0.7, which was also released today. This fixes a security problem that has existed since OpenSSL 3.0.0 and is now classified as high: a buffer overflow could be triggered when checking X.509 certificates. Thus, all users who have installed a version 5 of AmiSSL (based on OpenSSL 3) are recommended to update. The changes:
  • Updated OpenSSL backend to full compatibility with the latest OpenSSL 3.0.7 (1.11.2022) version, which includes:
    • Added RIPEMD160 to the default provider.
    • Fixed regressions introduced in 3.0.6 version.
    • Fixed two buffer overflows in punycode decoding functions. ([CVE-2022-3786]) and ([CVE-2022-3602])
  • Improved and simplified random number seeding routines.
  • The AMISSL_NO_STATIC_FUNCTIONS preprocessor symbol has been added to the SDK, mainly for use with VBCC

MorphOS: Password manager PastePass 1.9
Stefan 'Kronos' Kleinheinrich's PastePass is a password manager for MorphOS.

Version 1.9 is a complete reimplementation using the cryptostorage.library. The code has been reworked, many security checks added, and the entire GUI and program flow streamlined. The author's initial tests went well, but he requests further testing and explicitly marks this release as a pre-release. The changes in detail:
  • changed databas to use cryptostorage.library
  • entries will always be part of a group
  • a group can be protected by a 2nd password
  • PassTool functionality has been intregated into PastePass, allowing you to store your password in a seperate databae which will be opened by the name you used for registering MorphOS
  • added the option to set a default user name

Doom clone: "Dread" becomes "Grind"
The developer and demoscene member Krzysztof Kluczek had worked on the Doom clone "Dread" in his spare time and so far regularly published videos documenting the progress of his work (amiga-news.de reported). As he now reports in a Patreon post, he hands over the project to John 'Tsak' Tsakiris, who will continue it under the new name "Grind" (introduction on the new Patreon page). Kluczek will continue to work on "Dread" alone, as long as his new commitments allow him to do so: as non-commercial project. (dr)
