Cloanto: Amiga Explorer 2008
Amiga Explorer 2008 has been released. It includes new Software Director and support for Amiga Forever 2008. Traditionally, the release of the new Amiga Explorer as included in Amiga Forever precedes by a few days the launch of a new version of Amiga Forever itself. The update is free to all Amiga Explorer users.
The Amiga Explorer networking software makes it possible to access the resources of an Amiga computer from one or more Windows systems. Configuration is extremely simple and by default requires only a few mouse clicks on the Windows side. (snx)

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)
