`18.Nov.2022` Amigans	AmigaOS 4/MorphOS: Odyssey scripts for GitHub and itch.io websites At the end of 2021, George 'walkero' Sokianos had provided a script for the Odyssey browser, after which you can display GitHub project pages correctly again (amiga-news.de reported). He has now updated it so that there should be no more overlaps in the display. Furthermore, he has published another script for the correct display of itch.io pages today. Please note that the browser has to be restarted after including the script. (dr) [News message: 18. Nov. 2022, 14:50] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`18.Nov.2022`	Emulator: vAmigaWeb v2.2 beta1 vAmigaWeb is an Amiga emulator for the web browser or a Progressive Web App (PWA) based on the Amiga emulator for MacOS vAmiga. At the end of September, the version vAmigaWeb v3.0 beta1 was released, which had the MMU integration within the planned 68030 CPU as a goal. Since the 68030 hardware available in the development team turned out to be unsuitable, the MMU project was put on hold for the time being. In the now available version 2.2 beta 1, support for the Amiga three-button controller can be selected in the settings. Also, the emulator now has 20% to 40% more efficiency, however the minimum browser requirements have also increased: they are now Chrome V95, Firefox V100 and Safari V15.2.10. (dr) [News message: 18.

`17.Nov.2022` Thomas Claus (Mail)	AmigaOS 4: FTP client AmiFTP 1.953 At the beginning of 2010, for the last time amiga-news.de reported on the FTP client AmiFTP. Ten years later, Matthias 'djBase' Münch (maintainer of Amigaworld) started a discussion about the further development of the client on OS4Welt. A source code was found but not of the OS4 version. After requesting, Frank Menzel (Entwickler-X) agreed to examine the source code. After testing, first changes were made and adapted to AmigaOS 4 and compiler, bugs were removed and new small functions were added. After a longer break, the first version was released on Github in August 2022. An important step to preserve the source code and to motivate other developers to contribute to the project (e.g. SSL support). Javier de las Rivas has made many improvements and bug fixes since the release of the source code, which have been reviewed and put into a public main branch by Frank Menzel. This makes version 1.953 available to AmigaOS4 users and hopefully a start for further development on AmiFTP. Changes: Adaptions for first AmigaOS 4 version (Frank Menzel) Update project to be able to compile with GCC Switch GUI from ClassAct to Reaction Toolbar uses AISS Icon Set Switch from Reqtools to OS4 Requester Adapt AmiTCP Network Hook to work with Roadshow Remove obsolete DOS functions AmiFTP now works with files larger than 4GB Bugfixes Further enhancements and improvements (Javier de las Rivas) Speedbar can be changed to TEXT/IMAGES/BOTH "Cleaned" some of the GUI's ReAction code. Added missing speedbar buttons localized strings. Changed to use menuclass. Fixed disconnect button image when changing speedbar type (IMAGE\|TEXT\|BOTH). SelectFont() not needed (commented). Added 'UpdatedSpeedBar' to "fix" refresh speedbar when changing from prefs or from start (just "hide" it, not removed/freed). Localized rename requester. Fixed makefile to use "modified" FlexCat templates (C_c_amiftp.sd & C_h_amiftp.sd). Reworked some requesters and localization strings. UploadFile() was using fullpath+filename, thus creating (unwanted) dirs. Added notification support after upload/download. (dr) [News message: 17.
