Assembler: vasm 1.7h
Frank Wille has released an update of the assembler vasm. As usual Wille does not provide vasm binaries except with the vbcc compiler distribution. If you are interested in, you have to compile the assembler on your own. Changes in version 1.7h:
- Implemented a dynamic line buffer. No limitations on line lengths anymore
- Octal escape sequences are limited to a maximum of three digits
- Allow assembler text output (echo, printv) in offset sections
- Print a warning for initialized data in a bss-type section. This already worked in the past (1.2c and later), but has been lost somewhere
- Some single-character labels and symbols will be rejected (depending on the syntax module)
- -maxerrors=0 should print all errors in the source
- Print expressions in the listing file and the test output in decimal and hexadecimal form
- m68k: Immediate- and PC-relative destination addressing modes for 68851 PMOVE are not allowed. PMOVE ea,PCSR doesn't exist
- 6502: Perform zero-page optimization with a known label from an absolute section
- std-syntax: Fixed problem with parentheses in character constants
- oldstyle-syntax: New option -org=<address> to set the absolute base address of the program from the command line
- oldstyle-syntax: Implemented some listing file directives, but without any function yet: nam, subttl, page, space
- bin-output: Fixed output section sorting, which didn't work with some implementations of qsort()
- elf-output: Fixed external references in stabs
- elf-output: Use a hash table for ELF symbols to speed up the output
- hunk-output: Optimization to make it faster with many sections
- test-output: Fixed crash when printing stabs without a value

Encryption: AmiSSL 4
A team led by Jens Maus (e.g. YAM) has released version 4 of the OpenSSL-port AmiSSL, which can establish encrypted connections on the Internet - e.g. loading a website using HTTPS.
AmiSSL 4 is based on the latest OpenSSL 1.1.0d providing new encryption algorithms - existing Amiga software has to be adapted to be able making use of them.
AmiSSL is free software, the source code is available on Github. So far versions for Amiga 3 and 4 has been released. For porting it to MorphOS and AROS, help is needed.
Hint of the editorial staff: If you are using IBrowse, you should enable TLS for improving the compatibility to encrypted websites also without using AmiSSL-4.
