Tomasz Wiszkowski, author of the burning programme Frying Pan, is currenty not able to accept registrations due to a stay abroad.
The further development will be reduced but continued for that time, but lack of test equipment there will be no new release until returning home from the stay.
Th elatest addition is the support for CD-Text, also the import and export of sessions is shaping up.
MorphOS 1.4.x users are suggested to use the patch APooler to
deal with the prolonged burning times. The reason the the much slower memory allocation under MorphOS 1.4.x. (snx) (Translation: ub)

- Changed some MUI includes to be consistant with the rest of the
Jabberwocky sourcecode files
- Updated copyright notice in catalog files. Updated several string

- Added workaround for OS4 network includes conflict with clib2
network includes. The files & file structure of clib2 network
includes are now different than those defined in the Amiga OS4 includes

MorphOS ships without this lib. MUI4 has its own TextInput.mcc and
does not use this lib
- Unused variables removed from sources
- Eliminated unused includes
- Added OS4 socket library open/close since bsdsocket.library is not
longer automatically opened by standard libauto
- Added patched muimaster.h include file required for 68k Jabberwocky
compile
- Updated makefile and includes for new OS4 SDK
- Changed constant definitions for XML ID strings to make them easier
to identify in the Jabberwocky source

responses for the benifit of other Jabber clients (like Exodus) that
rely on the ID attributes to identify Jabber iq requests
- Added new functions to retrieve Jabber server agent list using
service discovery methods
- Added functions to obtain agent information from Jabber server with
service discovery methods
- Added new constant definitions and function prototype in support of
service discovery methods for obtaining Jabber server agent information
- Added ID attribute to agent registration XML
- Made numerous changes to sources in order to implement SASL
authentication required by some new Jabber servers
- Changed size check in console logger to use size sent in the call
- Changed size for connection checks to 2 since at least one server
is sending 2 spaces for the checks
- Added several defines to support SASL authentication
- Added Jabber namespace definitions not included in Iksemel library
- Removed unused MSG_CHAT constant and moved MSG_READ constant
- Added return value of IKS_HOOK to receive function so Jabberwocky
can tell if stream:features is being received following initial
connect header

New installation aids for SUBWAY USB controller
Two new installation aids are available as PDF files for the popular USB controller SUBWAY, which show connecting the SUBWAY to the Zorro cards Xsurf and Buddha from individual computers. You can find these documents on E3B's web pages under the title link in the Support/Mounting area.
Thanks to the assistance of an active SUBWAY user, who has created both documents and released them for download, connecting the controller to the clockports of the aforementioned cards should prove to be considerably easier with these, since, unfortunately, no details on the orientation of of the clockports are to be found in the documentation of either Zorro card.
In case of questions and obscurities when installing the SUBWAY, the producer E3B continues to ask for contacting E3B support. (nba) (Translation: cad)

MorphOS: OpenTTD 0.5.2 (final)
OpenTTD is an open-source clone of the well-known PC strategy game "Transport Tycoon Deluxe" from the 90's with many extensions - a network mode, individual graphic sets and adaptations to more than two dozen languages, among other things.
In version 0.5.2 (final), some errors were corrected again, so "NewGRF's" (graphic and function extension sets) can now simply be copied to the "data/" directory and activated or deactivated using the NewGRF settings inside the program - changing the configuration file OpenTTD.cfg manually is no longer necessary.
