Instant Messenger: SabreMSN Alpha 34
James 'jahc' Carroll has published another update of his Instant Messenger for the MSN-network for AmigaOS 3 and AmigaOS 4 (screenshot). Changes in this version:
- The "cancel" buttons for file transfers work now. Also, Sabre now gives
more detailed reasons when transfers fail
- Increased the packet size back up to 2045 bytes
- Tinkered with typecasts for the headers for file transfer packets and
it seems to give correct values now. Hopefully transfers wont abort
midway through now
The author points out that SabreMSN only supports the older version of the MSN-protocol for file transfers. If an incoming transfer should be announced ("Waiting for incoming file..") but it will not start then the other user has a program which supports the newer version of the protocol. This implementation in SabreMSN will follow.

Colmar Multimedia Expo: Reports, photos and videos
From 24. until 26. October in Colmar the Multimedia Expo 2008 took place. For Sébastien Jeudy from Relec the common booth with ACube and RMS Communications was a success:
Many users from France, Switzerland, Italy, Belgiun, Germany, Great Britain or Denmark visited the booth as well as some well-known faces from the whole Amiga-world - e.g. Hyperion Entertainment (Ben Hermans and the Frieden-brothers), Amiga-News.de, Voxel Amiga Shop, IMM Informatique, Amiga Repair Center.
You could see AmigaOS 4.1 on a SAM440ep, the SAM440ep-flex-motherboard, MorphOS 2.1 on an Efika and a Pegasos, the Minimig as well as AmigaOS 4.1 on a touchscreen for the first time.
The SAM440/AmigaOS 4.1-conference 50-60 persons attended it.
As a great ending RMS Communications with its KMU-software won the innovation price.

AmigaOS 4 / MorphOS: Driver and MUI software for Sweex 100K USB webcams
Mathias 'Corto' Parnaudeau, also known for Pointrider and the latest Songplayer versions, has written a new USB webcam driver for AmigaOS 4 (Sirion) and MorphOS (Poseidon). It displays the images using SDL or MUI and has been tested on Linux too (SDL frontend only).
The driver has been developed and tested with the webcam Sweex 100K, which is based on the sn9c10x chipset [VendorID = 0x0c45, ProductID = 0x6005 (tas5110c1b) bzw. 0x6009 (pas106b)].
Limitations:
- Images are saved to ram:sonix_capture.jpg only
- Sources need to be cleaned up but will be provided in the next version
- Components (red, green, blue) cannot be changed (no effect)

Instant Messenger: SabreMSN Alpha 33
James 'jahc' Carroll has published another update of his Instant Messenger for the MSN-network for AmigaOS 3 and AmigaOS 4 (screenshot). Changes in this version:
- I didnt align my file info block structure properly, and it was reporting an incorrect filesize value for file transfers under OS3
- "Error: Incorrect Login or Password" is reported now for incorrect login details
- Groupchats seemed broken. I attempted to fix it again
- I've tinkered with the code for adding contacts
- Every MSN account you use with Sabre will now store an individual "renamed contacts" file (locally).
- "user says:" and "user is typing.." messages now use the local "renamed
contacts" names, so they match the name in the contacts list.
- Tinkered with file sending code slightly. It uses 127 byte packets now
to avoid problems with Sabre to Sabre file transfers. But sometimes sending
to Windows clients fails, reporting: "The file transfer was unsuccessful
because your computer is out of disk space. Try deleting some files, and
then ask the sender to try the transfer again."
