Programming language: AmiBlitz Pre-Release 3.9.7
A few moments ago, Pre-Release 3.9.7 of the programming language AmiBlitz has been released. Changes:

new:
  • environmentlib: added command to check, move and clear the vbr (works only with 68010+)
  • added the possibility to the debugger to move the vbr (only on 68010+ systems)
  • added documentation for AsmExit (Docs/Blitzlibs/SYSTEM1.guide)
changed:
  • compiler directives "SYNTAX" and "OPTIMIZE" are now capitalized tokens
  • operand sizes for assembler instructions (.b, .w, .l) can now be entered capitalized (.B, .W, .L)
  • the compiler understands now shift-operators "<<" and ">>"
  • the compiler now allows ROL/ROR instructions to be used in basic code, e.g. test.w = $F0 ROL 2
  • rewrote loading of source files other than "ab3"
fixed:
  • crash when moving lines to top via ALT+CURSOR up/down
  • crash when trying to copy a single line selection, if it had been selected from right to left
  • holding SHIFT-CURSOR up/down did not work continously, just once
  • the vbr-chcking of the debugger did not work correctly
  • fixed bug in function to display standard (not tokenized) text
  • crash when loading text files other than ".ab3"
  • crash when undeleteing a line
  • autoindent of cursor did not work

Trading simulation with RPG elements: download version of 'Aquabyss' available
The trading simulation 'Aquabyss' (screenshots, video), which was released at Amiga 37 a week ago, is now also available in the developer's web shop for just under 30 euros . The one-week delay was caused by problems with payment provider Paypal, which have not yet been completely resolved.

Payments can be made by traditional bankwire or manual PayPal payments. In both cases, the e-mail address used for registration in the shop must be specified as the intended purpose. If PayPal is used as the payment method, the amount due must be entered manually when paying. After the purchase, you have to look up the information 'ID' and 'Key' required for playing in the provider's shop, the programmer tried to illustrate the process with a simple sketch.

When sales started a week ago, the developer warned against playing the game on Vampire cards because they were simply "not 100% Amiga compatible". He is now retracting that statement (German, registration required). Users of the Apollo Discord channel apparently figured out that the problem was caused by the illegal workbench distribution 'Coffin OS': After disabling some (unspecified) commodities, the game works fine on the FPGA hardware.

Updated MHI drivers for MAS-Player (standard/pro)
Thomas Wenzel writes (translated): Some time ago, in the course of the MHI revision, I also fixed a bug in the MAS player driver. At that time, however, I had only published the new driver in the developer archive mhi_dev.lha, which meant that it could hardly be found on Aminet and the old archives mhi_MASPro.lha and mhi_MASStd.lha still appeared in the search. Therefore, I have now uploaded the new drivers - both versions together - in the archive mhimasplayer.lha. (snx)
