Platformer: X-Mas special of 'Super Delivery Boy' (update)
Neeso Games has released a Christmas version of Super Delivery Boy: 'Super Delivery Boy - The Holiday Shift'.
In this fast-paced, Christmas-themed mini-game, presents must be delivered for the missing Santa Claus. However, the kids have their own preferences about what they want to get, and the path to them is full of strange creatures. The gifts must be picked up in the color that the children want. If you deliver the wrong gifts, you get fewer points! But you can use mismatched gifts as weapons that can be thrown against the enemies. But watch out for the colors.
The game runs on all Amigas (OCS/ECS/AGA) with 1MB RAM. However, on somewhat weaker Amigas there may be slowdowns during larger action scenes.
Update: (13.12.2021, 07:14, dr)
Yesterday version 1.1 was released providing the following changes:
- Improved performance on low end machines
- fixed a bug where enemies randomly disappear after delivering presents
- shooting the acorn will give you +5 seconds of time instead of points

Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek's Wayfarer web browser is now available in version 2.9 and provides the following changes:
- Implemented Proxy settings
- Added right mouse button override settings that make it possible to open the default context menu on websites that try to block it
- Fixed several edge cases where Wayfarer's url bar wouldn't correctly show page's url
- Added code to handle "ContentDisposition: attachment" to trigger downloading instead of displaying the target url
- Fixed 'Reload' to work after a failed page load
- Downloaded filename had 1st letter truncated in some cases due to a bug in header parsing
- Enabled USE_NEW_THEME in WebKit to change how some controls are drawn
- Default CSS tweaks to prevent invisible checkboxes/radio buttons
Required are MorphOS 3.15 and 1 GB of RAM. A CPU with at least 1.5 GHz is recommended. For feedback to the author, besides the integrated crash report tool and e-mails to wayfarer at wayfarer.icu also the corresponding thread at MorphZone can be used.

Cache management: Source code of 'HyperCache' released
In the late 1980s, early 1990s, Canadian-American programmer David Plummer wrote the cache management 'HyperCache'. Inspired by a user's request, Plummer now published the source code on GitHub and wants to give interested users, programmers and developers the opportunity to take a nostalgic look at program code of that time in general and in particular at the 'state of knowledge' of the author, who was still learning C at that time.
