CD32: Arcade-game Frog Feast
Frog Feast is a little arcade-game which were published as commercial game two years ago and
since then was ported to nearly each 16 or 32Bit-console
(screenshot (Neo Geo CD),
advertising (CD32)).
Meanwhile the CD32-port is in progress which probably will be distributed by
oldergames.com.
A first demo-version is available at megaupload.com - but
its main goals are compatibility tests: An important element of the game is still missing in this version - the fly
which is to be caught.
The CD-image which is available at megaupload has to be burned with low burning speed. The demo version was
only tested with NTSC-devices.

AROS: new HD-Installer
The new HD installer is now included on the nightly ISO and is ready for testing. However, there's currently a bug in either Wanderer or FFS that needs to be worked around. After startng the installer, you need to quit Wanderer before continuing (unless you're not going to format any partitions).
Be even more careful than usual with this version of the installer, ie. don't expose a machine with unbacked-up valuable data to it. It should preserve all existing partitions if requested, but no one has tested this so far besides me. (cg) (Translation: aj)

Flayer 1.0 Beta 2
On September 18 already, Robert Williams has made available a second beta version of his ARexx script Flayer, in which YouTube support was restored and support for Google Video, which had also become useless, was removed. In addition, a warning is now displayed when no supported FLV player is found.
Flayer makes Flash videos usable for AmigaOS users, too. For this purpose, the script scans the displayed web page for the URL of the video and saves this to the hard disk, from which it can then be displayed using MPlayer. (snx) (Translation: cad)

AmigaOS 4: AmiFTP 1.900
The Swedish dealer Guru Meditation has succeeded to obtain the sources to the Reaction-based FTP client AmiFTP (screenshot) from the original author Magnus Lilja. The program will continue to be distributed as freeware, Joachim Birging has assumed further development. Changes in version 1.900:
- Ported AmiFTP to OS4 by Joachim Birging
- Added AmiDock support. Use the new tooltype DOCKY to enable it
- Also changed prefs to use application.library instead of the old IFF
format. The old format can still be imported from the settings menu
- Small changes to the GUI to reflect ReAction changes made in OS4. This
is an old ClassAct program, remember.
- Changed the old images in the SpeedBar to use Mason's AISS images instead.
- Removed all ReqTools.library references and changed them to either ASL
or ReActions Requester class.
- Added support for AmiUpdate.
- Fixed the fuelgauge in the transfer window.
- Added "Save last dir visited" checkbox to the site edit window. AmiFTP can now save the last dir you were in.
- Added Save prefs silently option to main prefs.
- Removed the buttons at the bottom of the window. Since SpeedBar can be
text-only now you can configure AmiFTP to use text-only buttons at the top
instead.
- Replace string + button with GetFile/GetFont where appropriate.
- Added mouse wheel support in main window and site list.

Back to the Roots: Status information
In the meantime, since the most diverse speculations on the whereabouts of the back2roots.org main archive have spread in the Amiga and emulation community, which is well-versed in rumors, here is a brief status update:
The BTTR server was never disconnected, but ran technically unattended for the last two years (more precisely, since the summer of 2005). Since everything is automated except for updates, this was initially not a problem either.
Surely, everyone has noticed that we suffered under massive disk space bottlenecks and our update frequency became ever sparser. Then, through appeals for donations, we have tried to afford financing our further growth (and we still have a lot up our sleeves) with the help of the community.
A considerable amount of donations came together, too, so that for now, nothing stands in the way of the project's future. But now, a complete disruption of the hard disk storage unit came by, despite all the stability of the automation in the absence of the programmer Ralf Steines (hippie2000) from the Net. In the process, important parts of the BTTR engine were overwritten with empty files. Surely, everyone has seen the result...
Anyway, Ralf is back, the core of the team is reunited, and right now, we are working on the reconstruction of the server which is located at the University of Trondheim, to make possible the next growth of the project.
To all those who have donated until now: Count on it that everything arrived and will now be used (or was already used) for the specified purpose. All others are still welcome to participate. You can find details on back2roots.org.
In the next weeks, we are reconstructing everything, reinstalling the machines, configuring everything, in order to be available to you soon in old glory again. Afterwards, it goes on with new updates.
Till then, the page is available symbolically with limited functionality, so that everyone can see that we are back, so please, a little patience still.
Best regards,
Your back2roots.org team (snx) (Translation: cad)

Instant Messenger: Jabberwocky 1.8b6 (beta)
Jabberwocky is an MUI-based Instant-Messaging-Client for AmigaOS 3/4 and MorphOS which is able to access different messaging-networks (e.g. AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo) with the help of so called server modules. Changes since version 1.7:
- Fixed a crash that occurred when a "topic" was entered in the conference
window before joining a converence.
- Account window "connect" & "register" buttons are now disabled when
Jabberwocky is connected.
- Changed menus to disable Roster menu and roster contextmenu when
Jabberwocky is not connected. Some menuitems are disabled if there
is an empty roster when Jabberwocky connects.
- Fixed a crash in network discovery function that resulted from
attempting to visit a jabber server in the agents window with
Jabberwocky not yet connected to a Jabber server.
- Added loading and saving of codeset prefs and activated existing
"Charset" GUI elements in prefs.
- Merged in code diffs for charset conversion in chat windows.
Charset conversion is untested at this point.
- Fixed long standing bug in prefs loading of an event command with quotes
and the quotes appear as they should instead of escaped XML.
- Added some serial debugging that can be activated when a "Debug" version
of Jabberwocky is compiled.
- Added functions to obtain external IPA address from Jabberwocky homepage
for file transfers through a Router.
- Added prefs item to activate the external IP address retrieval.
- Updated Iksemel library to latest available version.
- Added "usedclasses" identifier and array so that only the external classes
actually used by Jabberwocky will be listed in the MUI preferences. This

Photos and news from Pianeta Amiga
This weekend in Empoli (Italy) the "Pianeta Amiga" takes place. ACube (Sam440ep), Hyperion (OS4) and other companies take part. Meanwhile first photos and news from the event are available:
Andrea "afxgroup" Palmate is currently porting the P2P-client Bourriquet which is based on eMule to AmigaOS 4 (screenshots: 1, 2).
At lightelements.com the first photos can be looked at. Additional to the PPC-motherboard Sam440ep, which is sold to customers for the first time, empty packages of the soon coming up operating system "AmigaOS 4"-classic version were shown at the event for preadvertising reasons. In this way ACube probably tries to reveal that the distribution of the classic version certainly will come.
If there will be further messages they will be announced as soon as possible.

Amiga Future: Gallery Update
Press release The Amiga Future Gallery has been updated considerably the last days. There is a new wallpaper section where users can put their own wallpapers online and make them available to others.
The games screenshots section is new aswell. We will publish every screenshot we have in this gallery. The first 1000 are already online.
Furthermore there are the already known sections for the reader's workbenches and computers where the users can post screenshots and photos.
Moreover we are looking for other names for this two sections. The ones currently used don't really sound well.
Subscribers of the Amiga Future are able to download colour CD covers for printing.
The English edition of the Amiga Future 67 has been sold out. But there are enough copies of issue 68.
Also we ask all users especially the ones getting the English edition to extend their subscriptions as soon as possible or letting us know if they aren't interested anymore. This would ease the planning of the next issue of the Amiga Future heavily. (snx)

Individual Computers: Neue Catweasel Treiber, Commodore Scene Award
Press release: The most important change of the recent release of the Win32 drivers for the Catweasel are visible in the imagetool, which now supports many new disk formats and has new graphical functions. After a long wait, the Apple floppy formats of older Macintosh computers (400KByte and 800KByte per disk) and the Apple IIe series are now supported.
Two more formats of Commodore classics can now be read, but this requires special disk drives with 100tpi. Regular floppy drives have a track spacing of 96tpi, so there will be read errors on most of the tracks of Commodore 8050 or SFD1001 disks.
As always, the new drivers are free, and they still contain the routines required for operation with the oldest Catweasel models. We're asking our customers who are still using these controllers to carefully test these drivers with the old hardware, as we are only testing with the latest PCI models of the controller. Download: CWMK42400.zip (432 KByte).
Commodore Scene Lifetime Achievement Award goes to individual Computers
Earlier this week, we learned from the newsletter of the Digitale Kultur e.V. that our product Retro Replay has been voted to be the "best 3rd party hardware" by the members of the Commodore scene. Our sincere thanks are given to all Commodore Sceners. Special thanks goes to the scene group Cyberpunx, whose software surely made a large part of the wide acceptance of our product. The Catweasel was nominated as "Best Current SID Usage", but it had to stand back behind the synthesizer SidStation. You can find more results of the awards on the pages of Digitale Kultur.

For the first time since April 1, a nightly build of the MorphOS desktop Ambient was made available again, under the title link. You can gather the changes that have been carried out since that time from the changelog.
The nightly builds are about compilations of the current development status without documentation and support. By nature, it is not guaranteed that all implemented functions work error-free. Accordingly, use the nightly builds at your own risk, a backup of your present Ambient installation is strongly recommended. (snx) (Translation: cad)

New Amiga Future Page online
Press release: The last weeks we have put much time and money into the Amiga Future homepage. The time has come. Yesterday evening the new page went online.
The new homepage automatically detects the language setting on the user's computer. If set to German it will load the German page and if set to English it will load the English one respectively. Of course registered users have the choice to set the language differently in the page settings.
By the way all registered users should check their settings. Lots of stuff has been added.
The search engines of the whole homepage have been improved. Now it is possible to search every database on every page.
A new gallery has been installed which allows subsections. This makes the gallery containing over 1000 pictures clearly arranged. The new gallery allows to display pictures directly within the forum and the articles.
A new article database has been installed aswell. It is a lot faster than before and displays the articles better.
And finally a new download database has been installed. It is now possible to describe the downloads. We only need someone to help us out with that. :) Now you can add comments to the downloads and report mistakes.
We installed a new lexicon for the news section and forum posts. Nearly everything in the article database can be viewed as a PDF document.
There are lots of more features. You can choose whether you want to see German oder English news. This setting includes the search engines. There will be some more improvements in the next few weeks. We would like to know from you what to change. Because of that we started a poll on the Amiga Future homepage.
Amiga Future looks for help for the editorial office.
We look for (German or English) users having a good knowledge of the Amiga and some free time. If you are interested the please write an email to Andreas@amigafuture.de using the subject "Amiga Future".
We need people for the homepage aswell. We already have a huge download section with full versions on the Amiga Future homepage. Now we look for someone to help us out regularly or once. It is all about the check of some downloads and writing a small description of the program including the requirements.
Additionally, we search for someone to support us in getting new full verions. Especially we need someone to look for the current copyright owners (i.e. Psygnosis) and to ask them for a license for the Amiga Future.
Other sections of the homepage need help aswell. For example we need a user who takes care of the link database. It is about extending the content. Besidess of that we are looking for a PHP programmer to write us some small scripts to ease the work with the homepage.

MorphOS: Pachi el marciano 1.0a
Pachi el marciano is an SDL platform game, which was inspired by Mathew Smith's games Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy (screenshot). The aim is to collect all objects in a level, upon which the door to the next stage opens.
In the meantime, an update to the MorphOS version was made available by Herbert A. Klackl. This solves the freeze problem when alternating to full screen mode on newer PowerSDL versions.
Download: pachi-1.0a-morphos.lha (3 MB) (snx) (Translation: cad)
