Demo-scene: Old issue of "Lamer News"
The "Lamer News" was an ASCII-newsletter of the British Amiga-scene. The whole content was fictive. The interviews and news were all completely fakes.
Some of the old issues are now available at OldSkool UK (part 1, part 2).

AmigaOS 4: Origyn Web Browser 1.24
Jörg Strohmayer has published another update of his port of the Origyn Web Browser. Changes in version 1.24:
- Changed default FONTXDPI to 80
- Added cut, copy, paste and select all (<amiga><a>) support in editable fields. Text copied to/from the AmigaOS clipboard is/has to be in UTF-8, not the local charset. There are some other problems with it, for example the text selection is often displayed wrong and unselected text not completely unmarked
- Selecting other texts works as well now, but you can't copy them
- Disabled the workaround from 1.22 for the gfx errors as it slows down scrolling too much, you can redraw the page by pressing <amiga><r> instead now
- Reduced the minumim step for scrolling with the scroll bars
OWB 1.24 is an update and requires the previous version 1.21 which is available on Aminet.

AmigaOS 4: Instant Messenger SabreMSN, alpha 6
James "jahc" Carroll has published another alpha version of his Instant Messenger for the MSN-network (screenshots: 1, 2).
In this version the preferences menu was added. Additionally the "Connection"-status as well as a dialogue window were added where the user can set several options if he was added to the contact list by another MSN user. Now you can also rename the persons in your contact list. Finally several bugs were fixed.
Porting this program to different Amiga systems is planned but it is supposed to be started if the basic functions were all implemented. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Preview: New games for classic Amigas
Though things have calmed down around Mr. Beanbag (rumor has it that the programmer lost interest) and Super Pumpkin Brothers, some new projects for OCS and AGA Amigas have recently emerged instead:
Annihilation
Annihilation is a horizontally-scrolling shoot'em up for AGA Amigas (screenshot). The developers Underground Arcade promise "parallax scrolling, intelligent enemy waves, awesome power-ups, huge mid-level and end-of-level guardians, [...]" on their web page. The player should be able to make a choice among three pilots, who possess different spaceships. Annihilation's release is planned for 2008, a two-year-old demo can be found at Aminet.
Halloween Nightmare
Halloween Nightmare, which comes from Underground Arcade as well, is about a platform game where the player can slip into various Halloween costumes (screenshot). The release is planned for this year, too, a playable demo version is available since several months. Halloween Nightmare is being developed with the game construction kit Backbone.
Ambermoon Arcade
"Ambermoon Arcade," which is also being developed with Backbone, should become a Golden Axe-style beat'em up, which is located in the world of the RPG classic Ambermoon (Screenshots: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). A demo version should be released before long. (cg) (Translation: cad)

AmigaOS 4: Origyn Web Browser 1.23 (Update)
Jörg Strohmayer has published another update of his port of the Origyn Web Browser. Changes in version 1.23/1.22:
- 1.23: Enabled font kerning. Looks better, but the cursor offset is wrong in text input now
- 1.23: No longer downloads application/xhtml+xml
- 1.23: The font implementations are build as shared objects now and you can choose the one you want, currently the AmigaOS4 implementation and the embedded bitmap fonts only since the freetype one doesn't work because of a bug in libexpat.so. To use the embedded bitmap fonts, which might make OWB more usable on classic Amigas although I doubt it helps much, rename libowbfont.so to libowbfontamiga.so and libowbfontembedded.so to libowbfont.so
- 1.23: Added FONTXDPI and FONTYDPI tooltypes to configure the font rendering in the AmigaOS4 font implementation and changed the defaults from 72/72 to 84/72 DPI
- 1.23: The bookmark code is in a shared object now, that way George can work on it without having to build the complete OWB himself.
- 1.22: Improved the speed of the font system a little bit
- 1.22: Improved font spacing
- 1.22: Fixed http://crashlog.os4depot.net/cl41
- 1.22: Updated curl-ca-bundle.crt
- 1.22: Disabled some gfx and scrolling optimisations as they sometimes cause gfx errors, for example clearing the top of a page without updating it again
- 1.22: Added bookmarks from George Sokianos' OWB_GUI
OWB 1.23 is an update and requires the previous version 1.21 which is available on Aminet.

AmigaOS 4: MIDI-Sampler Phonolith 1.0
Phonolith is a software instrument created by Timo Kloss for AmigaOS 4, which plays sampled waveforms. It is usable with Horny and other CAMD based sequencers, or just a connected MIDI keyboard.
Starting with version 1.0, Phonolith is free software under the GNU General Public License (GPL) now. This decision was made because the author won't spend much time on this project anymore. He lost the need for it, because he stopped making music on Amiga. Please contact him if you are interested in the source code. A sourceforge.net project will follow.
Furthermore, the MIDI sequencer Horny is free now (but not open-source). To receive a keyfile, please contact the author.
Features of Phonolith 1.0:
- Downmixing to AIFF file
- Receives MIDI notes through camd.library
- Mixer unit with non-linear volume/panning controls and peak meters
- 16 different instruments at once
- ADSR amp envelope (non-linear decay and release curves) for each instrument
- Unlimited number of samples for each instrument, for key and velocity ranges
- Supports AIFF and WAVE sample format (only 16 bit)
- Imports Logic EXS24 instruments (PPC and Intel format)
- ReAction GUI
- Application.library support (for saving settings and registering Phonolith as application)
- Connection to Horny 1.3 for automatic project loading
- AmiUpdate support
- Locale.library support

Origyn Web Browser 1.21 and 1.3 (Update)
The AmigaOS 4 port of the Origyn Web Browser (OWB) is now available in version 1.21.
Changes:
- Added a workaround for font releated OWB memory leaks in the AmigaOS 4 font implementation
- Fixed crashlog entries cl25 and cl37
- Speed up text rendering
- No longer uses own mouse pointer
Update: (19:18, 19.04.08, snx)
Furthermore, version 1.3 has been released for AmigaOS 3.x.
Changes:
- Ported the memory allocator used in the AmigaOS4 version to AmigaOS 3.x, requires AmigaOS 3.9 BB 2 (exec V45)
- Added more workarounds for bugs in the AmigaOS 3.x SDL library
- Implemented the font system for AmigaOS 3.x. It's currently limited to the 3 outline fonts included in AmigaOS 3.x (CGTimes, CGTriumvirate and LetterGothic)
- Implemented intuition event handling for AmigaOS 3.x, all keys should work now. Of course text input will always be limited to ISO-8859-1 on AmigaOS 3.x since it didn't support different charsets yet
- AmigaOS mouse wheel, 4th and 5th mouse button events are supported as well, but there is probably nothing for AmigaOS 3.x which can generate them
- Implemented the graphics device for AmigaOS 3.x, requires Picasso96
- Implemented a minimal replacement for the missing ICU libraries (UTF-8, ISO-8859-1 -10 and 13-16)

individual Computers: Delfina - The DSP makes the difference!
Press release Soundcards for the Amiga are continuously popular, but only one soundcard has a freely programmable DSP - a specialized audio processor. With this concept, the Delfina strictly follows the old Amiga idea to do as much work as possible with specialized hardware in order to take load off the main processor. We have taken over the Delfina from Petsoff in 2003, but only published a software update once.
After more than four years, we are especially happy that Axel Schneider has taken over the development of the delfina.library in his spare time since October 2007. The original author Teemu Suikki (Finland) has published large parts of the Delfina software under different open-source licenses. For the first time, we are publishing the source code for drivers of a product that you can still buy in the shops and that is actively developed. Although it seems to be quite fashionable to increase prices for classic Amiga hardware, we don't see a reason to follow that trend. The price of the Delfina "flipper edition" of 129.- EUR (*) is still more than 140.- EUR below the price of the predecessors made by Petsoff.
The new library also allows connecting the Delfina to a 26-pin expansion port of our Zorro cards like Buddha and X-Surf (older models). Crashes that occured especially on fast accelerators and under high DSP-load are probably completely eliminated. There are still some issues when playing back web radio streams with a bitrate of 256 kbit or more that we could not trace back to the delfina library. Find out more in the readme file of the archive.
The software support for the older Delfina cards (made 1999 or earlier) is still in the drivers, but it is not maintained or tested anymore. We recommend the use of a new card made by individual Computers.
