HomeBank V3.1 released
After several beta versions, Maxime Doyen now released the final version 3.1 of his program HomeBank under the title link. This version fixes a major bug in the Define Payee & Define Category section, which was leading to instability of the system and sometimes crashes (especially on MorphOS and AmigaOS4).
It also fixes any reported/found other minor bugs and suggestions of changes. No new functionality has been added, though. Furthermore, the author would like every user of HomeBank to subscribe to the corresponding mailing list. (snx)

MUI: BetterString.mcc / HotkeyString.mcc under LGPL published
After having saved the source codes of the known MUI-Custom class BetterString.mcc and HotkeyString.mcc
from the hard drive of the former author Allan Odgaard the complete source code has been
published under the GNU Lesser Public License (LGPL) as Open Source and has been put together
in a seperate project on Sourceforge.net.
Interested developers are encouraged to take contact to the
current main authors (Jens Langner and Ilkka Lehtoranta) if you want to develop further
BetterString.mcc and HotkeyString.mcc.
Probably there will be a new version of BetterString.mcc/HotkeyString.mcc which will
also include native PPC versions for AmigaOS4 and MorphOS.

Search for the Best Websites of Germany
Everyone certainly knows about the problems with search engines. When you type in your search words you get a long list of hits, but most of them don't have a thing to do with what you're looking for. However there's an unusual searcher that's been established, one that targets the websites that you're really after. "Turn the page, don't Google it" is the new trick to find your way in the Internet maze. The "Web Address Book" is a reference work in book form.

CAD: Full version of "Cycas" released to Aminet
Cycas is a program for architectural drawing in two and three dimensions. Additional to the normal CAD function Cycas offers some special elements and techniques for architecture and construction drawing.
Perspectives, isometries and planar views of a building can be rendered as line graphics and can also be reworked.
3D data can be exported in different exchange formats to programs which can render graphics from the data. That allows a rapid and high quality simulation of buildings.
Further development of the Amiga version is put to halt currently, for that reason the latest full version is now available for free.
For further information about the Windows and Linux versions of Cycas
please visit the official website.

German version: Cycas178_DE.lha (1.2 MB) (Readme)
English version: Cycas178_EN.lha (1.2 MB) (Readme) (cg) (Translation: ub)
