AmigaOS 4: C runtime library clib2 v1.0.0 beta 9
Andrea 'afxgroup' Palmate has created a fork of the official clib2 library, included in adtools. This library is exclusively for AmigaOS 4 to make it easy to maintain and to be able to add all the missing clib2 functions that are hard to add on 68k Amigas. The goal is to make it POSIX compliant and also fix any C++ problems that exist with newer compilers (amiga-news.de reported).

Yesterday he has released the ninth beta version with the following changes:

Added aio* POSIX functions with some minor limitations
Fixed shared objects libraries (They needs a new elf.library)
Added sigsetjmp/siglongjmp
pthread moved into libc. libpthread however exists for compatibility reasons
Some minor fixes
Added more test programs

Point'n Click adventure: Ring around the World
"Ring around the World" (video) by Simone Bevilacqua (KOG, Huenison, Blastaway, among others) is described by the author as a "short, open world, point'n'click adventure from the top view". The player wakes up on the shore of an unknown world and can only remember two things - one of the two memories is his drowning in a stormy sea.

"Ring around the World" requires a PAL Amiga with one megabyte of chip RAM and Kickstart 1.3, a hard disk is recommended. The game is free, the author asks players who like the title to "offer some support to somebody who is a victim of any kind of violence". (cg)
