MorphOS: Port of Virtual Grand Prix 3 "possible"
The Aminet-team asked author Paolo Cattani if it is allowed to publish the MorphOS-version of his Formel 1 simulation "Virtual Grand Prix 2" on Aminet. The author answered that it is still possible to donate for VGP2 as well as it is possible to port the successor Virtual Grand Prix 3 although there are some "technical problems" and he is not going to "promise the earth".

Instant Messenger: AmiMSN 1.2-WIP ("Xmas-edition")
- Minor memory leak fix
- Launch from icons. PNG/NewIcon/Old-style icons included
- Removal of MD5SUM. Using function in rxlibnet
- Only says "is now known as" if they were already online
- "User is typing.." message sent to recipients. This is only
now possible due to the new switchboard code in 1.1
- Changed text font (that will be shown on recipients side)
from MS Sans Serif to Segoe UI
- Recognises when WLM aborts a file being sent to you
- Thumbnail data sent from Windows Live Messenger when an image
file is offered, is saved to RAM:Preview.png
- Obtain ticket quicker on OS4
- If someone offers you a file without saying anything first,
a window will now open. Increases compatibility with some
clients that use a new switchboard session for file transfers
- Small change to try to stop clients from requesting your
avatar too often
- A few minor optimizations
- Fixed long standing bug when removing a group in IRCd mode.
Anyone who was online in the group/channel that was removed,
the WHOIS reponse would still show them being in that now
non-existant channel
- Crude Direct connection support for receiving when listening.
Should work in the majority of cases when receiving from WLM
Users of AmigaOS 4 should add the libraries rxsocket.library and rxlibnet.library to the Blacklist of the JIT-emulator to avoid problems with AmiMSN.

Software-News until 21.12.2009
Text viewer: EvenMore 0.69
EvenMore is a textviewer written in AmigaE and by Chris Perver. Changes since the last version:
- Modified exec list sorting to receive a list length variable, so it doesn't need to be counted first. Also modified Dir2Text plugin to accept this
- Was freeing information bar pattern data by mistake when launching an external program
- Pär Boberg has updated his Swedish catalog file following the changes made to the preferences
- Added two new escape code sequences. ESC[52m will set the displayed font in EvenMore to the user selected font, while ESC[53m will set the displayed font to the default system font. This will allow plugins such as the Generic2Text plugin to switch to a uniform system font when viewing hexadecimal files.
- Updated Generic2Text plugin to use the system font when viewing hexadecimal files
MorphOS: Drawerball 0.8q
Tom 'Amigaharry' Duin has published Drawerball 0.8q which is a very early version of a simple file manager.
AmigaOS 4: Modula 2-development environment AgletM2PPC
AgletM2PPC is a complete Modula 2-development environment inclusive compiler. Only a text editor is required (GoldEd, CygnusEd and TurboText are supported). Changes since the last release:
Compiler:
- The compiler itself is now PPC native, and is
significantly faster!
- The size limit on procedures is now probably large enough
for any sane program
- A bug which caused extremely excessive stack use was fixed.
Now 40 or 50K should be enough for almost any compile
- Some code generation errors were fixed
- Fixed problem with Opaque pointers resolved within the
IMPLEMENTATION module by imported pointer types
- Added compiler warning: OpenArrayCopyWarn
- SDK 53.8+ now using the GNU assembler v2.18 vs. 2.14
in earlier SDKs. This required that some instructions be
output slightly differently
- Certain "recording" versions of FP instructions are no
longer generated, since Sam 440ep/flex does not support
them
(Pre)Linker
- Mod2Lnk recognizes a "-stack" switch and inserts the
"$STACK:xxxx" cookie into executables.
The .asm files no longer need be kept around. All dependency
information is in the object file now. Asm files are written
to T:
- Added the "-g" debug switch, which causes both exported and
non-exported symbols to be put into the Elf symbol table so
that SymbolsRTS can find them as well
M2IDE
- Option "Make Icons?" added for the project file save
- Fixed problem of GR on exit if M2IDE changed its current
directory
- Multiselect now supported for the "Misc Files" file
requester
Amiga Modules
- Added Definition files for about 25 more Amiga Libraries,
and all supplied Amiga definition files (over 150 of them) were
brought up to the v53.13 SDK
- The TextEditor gadget is now working much better, as the
Definition file now adjusts to a glitch in the SDK's .h
file
Aglet Modules
- System module SymbolsRTS was introduced for better debugging
of exception locations
- CLI program arguments and Workbench ToolTypes are
transparently (almost) unified when the ArgsSupport module
is used to read startup arguments
- Many improvements in the (experimental) SimpleXXX modules
(SimpleGUI, SimpleScreens, SimpleMenus, SimpleGraphics, etc)
- new modules: BigInt, for 155 bit integers; IconSupport, for
writing out icons
Filesharing: Testing Amigift 2.0 for free
Amigift is a P2P file sharing system based on the giFT-demon (Gnutella, FastTrack, OpenFT) ported from the Unix-system and which has a MUI-based graphical user-interface called "GiftMUI" (screenshot). The author now offers a key with which you can test all the features of the shareware program for a limited time for 30 minutes per session.
