  • Fix: Fixed a use-after-free for notification once the close window button of the search window was hit and which caused a crash once PERMMEMTRACK kernel option was enabled
  • Fix: Fixed some bug in some intermediate 1.18 version that always deleted the last record for each launch of the program
  • Fix: Icon sizes of top navigation bar back to 100% (from 80%) again after some intermediate change
  • Rework: Code to create the DateIcon AppIcon uses Reggae instead of a direct PNG decoder now
  • Fix: fixed some bug that triggered PERMMEMTRACK because the app tried to free some static application memory on some string
  • Fix: Fixed some incompatibility with MorphOS PERMMEMTRACK option due to some access to already freed memory
  • Fix: Fixed hits caused by 2nd launch of PolyOrga Fix: Fixed some possible illegal access when the database is opened or past events are checked on launch

Game: ASM - Das Computer-Spiel (The Director's Cut) released (German)
The game about the former computer game magazine "ASM - Aktueller Software Markt", published from 1986 to 1995, which was announced in May, is now available, but as German version only.

Originating from a programming competition in 1991, the graphic adventure was revised, extended and provided with new music by Roland 'Triace' Voß for twelve months with the help of editors of that time, so that it could now - "just 32 years later" - be completed as "Director's Cut".

As chief editor Manfred 'Manni' Kleimann, the player moves through the editorial building in point-and-click style from the first-person perspective as in "Die Kathedrale" or "Uninvited" and tries to track down the secret of his own memory loss. The game doesn't take itself seriously and wants to let friends of humor à la "Spaceballs", "The Naked Gun" or Monty Python get their money's worth.

In addition to a download version, the game is also available as a physical product, which contains a CD for Amigas with an appropriate drive, including CDTV and CD³², as well as a poster, three disk stickers, an ASM wooden cube and a 20-page manual (in the optical style of an ASM from 1991). Stefan Bayer has exclusively contributed a brand new "Donald Bug" comic for the manual.

"ASM - The Computer Game" runs on any Amiga from Kickstart 1.3 with at least 1 MB RAM. A hard disk installer is also included. The game is controlled by keyboard and mouse, the use of a joystick is optional. A hard disk with 3 MB free memory and 2 MB RAM are recommended. (snx)
