MorphOS: E-mail client Iris, beta version 54
"Iris" is supposed to become the standard mail program for MorphOS. It supports IMAP and can read and create HTML mails. The program requires MorphOS 3.10. You can give feedback to the author using the corresponding discussion on MorphZone.
Changes of beta version 54:
Features:
- Improvements in the email editor; added default font (can be changed in settings)
- Connected servers will periodically poll for new messages
- Rewritten connection handling to improve performance and fix connection issues over time
Bugfixes:
- Switching between several displayable email compontents only worked once per component due to a bug in tmp file lookup
- Fixed an issue related to saving attachments from an email open in a separate window after the active folder has changed in the main window
- Improved server disconnection handling
- Fixed a crash in vmime related to IMAP folder access
- Unread messages count could sometimes be negative due to an overflow
- Fixed a long-standing reconnection problem where internal exception routing would skip over the actual reconnection routine
- Fixed an OAuth2 issue which caused servers to reject authentication if they weren't used for a long time (days) so that the refresh token expired - this delegates login back to the web browser as required by OAuth2
- Worked around an imap.wp.pl issue where the server returns messages in a random order instead of sorting them by uid
- Fixed a Sent folder refresh issue after sending an email
- Fixed a wrong UID count in folder issue causing server commands to fail after emptying a folder

Lawsuit: Court denies Cloanto's motion for preliminary injunction
In the lawsuit between Cloanto and Hyperion yesterday the court has denied the motion for preliminary injunction against the sale of AmigaOS 3.1.4 (PDF file). After the futile attempt of registering the trademark "Workbench" also in the EU, this is the second setback for Cloanto in a row.
The court found that Cloanto could not provide sufficient evidence for the claimed irreparable harm. This decision does not affect the judgment of the principal proceedings: Was the sale of AmigaOS 3.1.4 lawful?

Tutorial: Using a Linux box as a Proxy for SSL connections
While AmiSSL 4 makes a modern version of SSL available for AmigaOS 3, software that supports it is still hard to find. And given its slow CPU, an Amiga is barely able to decode modern SSL cyphers anyway. amiga-news.de reader 'Cego' solved this problem by using a PC running Linux - you could also use a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian - as a proxy:
In this scenario the Amiga is sending all of its HTTP request to the Linux box, which handles all communication with the Internet. Since the connection between the Amiga and the Linux box is never encrypted, the ancient Commodore computer is no longer burdened with encrypting and decrypting packages and its user doesn't have to worry about protocol compatability or certificates.
Requirements
To get started, we need to have the following things available:
- a computer running Linux (e.g. Debian, Raspbian) and an account with Root privileges
- sslstrip for Linux
- the IP address of the Linux box. This can be determined by entering hostname -I in a terminal
- IBrowse
1. activate IP forwarding
First we have to activate IP forwarding on the Linux box, by entering the following in a terminal:
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
2. install and activate SSLStrip
Now we have to install sslstrip by invoking the following command with Root privileges:
apt-get install sslstrip
Then we start the program from the terminal:
sslstrip
3. configure IBrowse's proxy settings
Now we run IBrowse on the Amiga and tell it to use a proxy by enabling it in Preferences -> Network -> Proxy. Make sure you configure a proxy for "HTTP" (not "HTTPS") and enter the IP address of the Linux box here. sslstrip is using port 10000 by default, so that's what we need to enter here.
How it works
As far as IBrowse is concerned, the entire Internet is now available without encryption. Should a website enforce an SSL connection, the Linux proxy will take care of that and remove any encryption before forwarding the content to the Amiga - which frees the latter from the ressource-heavy process of decryption.
Thanks to IBrowse's "URL Prefs" functionality, you could selectively enable or disable the use of the proxy for certain sites, but it's just as convenient to simply enable/disable the proxy using the Preferences -> Proxy menu or via the global configuration. (cg) (Translation: cg)

For developers now version 1.4 of the Software Development Kit (SDK) for the TCP/IP stack Roadshow is available. The update became necessary because of the Amiga port of NetSurf that makes use of the SDK.

Preview video: Super Star Blast (Entwickler-X)
The latest project of Entwickler-X (e.g. Emotion, M.A.C.E., Tap Jewels, Bubble Shooter DX) obviously is a remake of the Amiga classic Transplant. On YouTube a video was published which shows some scenes from the game announcing releases for modern platforms as well as for AmigaOS-4.1.

Canceled game project: Street-Fighter-2 clone "World Warrior"
"World Warrior" was the attempt of a programmer to overcome his disappointment about the moderate quality of the Amiga port of "Street Fighter 2". In his blog the author described how the project started and explained some of his decisions regarding the game design. Besides, an unfinished version is available for download. The auhor remarked: "The option screen doesn't work and you can only play against another human player...and the round goes on forever as there's no health system."

Hollywood: hURL 1.0 released
Press release: Yes, Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, did it again! This time we proudly present hURL - the ultimate multi-protocol data transfer plugin for Hollywood. Based on curl, hURL supports an incredibly wide range of transfer protocols, e.g. DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, Gopher, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS, POP3, POP3S, RTMP, RTSP, SCP, SFTP, SMB, SMBS, SMTP, SMTPS, Telnet and TFTP. Furthermore, hURL supports SSL certificates, HTTP POST, HTTP PUT, FTP uploading, HTTP form based upload, proxies, HTTP/2, cookies, user+password authentication (Basic, Plain, Digest, CRAM-MD5, NTLM, Negotiate and Kerberos), file transfer resume, proxy tunneling and more. It really is the ultimate data transfer engine for Hollywood, leaving nothing to be desired!
There are two ways of using hURL: There is a high-level interface that can directly hook itself into Hollywood's network library, enhancing it with hURL functionality like SSL/TLS support. This makes it possible to use Hollywood commands like DownloadFile() to download files using custom protocols that Hollywood itself doesn't support, e.g. SSL/TLS.
Another way of using hURL is the low-level interface: This interface allows you to access the curl API directly from Hollywood scripts. This is extremely powerful because it allows you to access hundreds of different curl options, making it possible to fine-tune hURL to your specific needs. Just to give you an idea of how powerful hURL is: it contains over 500 (!) commands to fulfil all your data transfer needs!
Finally, hURL comes, as usual for Hollywood plugins, with extensive documentation in various formats like PDF (over 300 pages!), HTML, AmigaGuide, and CHM that contains detailed descriptions about all functions and methods offered by the plugin.
All of this makes hURL the ultimate data transfer tool for Hollywood that contains everything you need to send and receive data via almost any transfer protocol on the planet.
hURL is now available for free download from the official Hollywood portal. Thanks to Hollywood's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS 3.x (m68k), AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, Linux (ppc, arm, x86, x64), Mac OS X (ppc, x86, x64), Windows (x86, x64) and Android (arm, arm64) are provided.
Note that on AmigaOS and compatibles, AmiSSL 4.x is required by hURL. Since this isn't available in a native MorphOS version yet, you can just use the 68k version of AmiSSL 4 on MorphOS. It has been verified to work fine with hURL. (snx)
