MorphOS: Web browser Wayfarer 3.9
Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek has released version 3.9 of his Wayfarer web browser for MorphOS, which mainly includes changes for media playback. As the author writes, ClearKey encryption is not very popular nowadays, but is still used by some live streaming services. Wayfarer can now play these streams (e.g. https://tv.nrk.no).
The emulation of touch events makes it possible to search on mobile Youtube again. In this regard, the developer refers to the updated FAQ page: instructions on how to fix Youtube/iOS search and how to use a VPN with Wayfarer (with additional hardware) have been added.
Jacek also thanks everyone who had donated to the project in the last. He said that this is a motivation for further development. Changes:
- Implemented ClearKey DRM support for HLS media streams
- Implemented HLS stream quality switching accessible from the media popup
- Added configurable touch events emulation (think Youtube-Mobile seeking slider)
- Refactored the HLS player to allow MPEG-TS playback
- Live HLS streams now start playing closer to the current time
- Improved stream end position reporting to get some streaming services correctly skip to next stream after playing ads
- Updated libcurl

Kultmags.com: Amiga Fever issues added (German)
On kultmags.com the computer and video game magazines of the 80s, 90s and early 2000s are preserved in digital form for posterity with the permission of the rights holders. Most recently, Jakob Voos, who once founded the Protovision publishing house with Malte Mundt, gave permission to add all four issues of German magazine Amiga Fever.
So far, however, only the first two issues could be scanned, and help in finding the remaining issues is requested. (snx)

Review: Workbench distribution AmiKit XE 11.8.0 for Windows
About two weeks ago version 11.8.0 of the workbench distribution AmiKit for Windows/Mac/Linux was released (amiga-news.de reported). Our reader Thomas bought the latest version for his Windows computer and kindly tells us his impressions:
"After the purchase, you will receive an e-mail with the download link quite quickly. Before that you should definitely install VcRuntime https://file.amiga.sk/amikit/download/vc_redist.x64.exe, otherwise the installation will fail. The version Amikit 11.5.0 is delivered, which can be updated later. Original Amiga ROMS are necessary, otherwise the installation will fail. In which form or better said from which source the ROM's come, is up to you. Whether Amiga Forever or original AmigaOS (OS 3.1.4, OS 3.2, OS 3.9 etc.) does not matter.
The installation process runs through smoothly. In between, Picasso96 is downloaded and installed independently. After the installation process has run through and Amikit has been loaded, the Morpheus Updater opens automatically. There you can update Amikit 11.5.0 to version 11.8.0. This update is the biggest one (23 MB) and for this reason it seems to cause problems. Always only 12-14 MB arrive. This gave me no peace, so Jan was written to on Discord asking him what the problem could be. He answered promptly and wrote me that a few had the same problem. He then sent me the archive of 11.8.0, since the error could not yet be narrowed down. So I could update to version 11.8.0 myself. Many thanks Jan to the fast and smooth help.
The next step is to install AmigaOS 3.2 and the corresponding update 3.2.1. For this you put all AmigaOS 3.2 ADF's, the Amiga1200.Module, Update3.2.1.lha into the Rabbithole directory and start the Morpheus Updater again. There you can select and install the AmigaOS 3.2 installation. This is done quickly, after an automatic reboot it is freshly installed. So you have the latest AmigaOS running in the WinUAE installation. Amikit uses WinUAE for the AmigaOS emulation on the PC.
So Amikit transforms the PC into a modern Amiga. The Rabbithole is used to start PC programs directly from the AmigaOS. So you can run programs like VLC, Chrome etc. on the screen of the AmigaOS and don't need to switch to Windows. In addition, Amikit is faster than any Amiga hardware depending on the PC model, even if turbo cards etc. are used.
But it will never replace the feeling of real Amiga hardware. But it is not so easy to use it on the go. That's where Amikit makes sense. If you want to use the AmigaOS everywhere, Amikit is a good choice. It is a complete AmigaOS for people with little time and desire to build their own AmigaOS.
For myself it only serves as a replacement to real Amiga hardware. Mainly I use Amikit to transfer files from the PC via NAS to the Amiga and vice versa or when I want to use the AmigaOS mobile. The purchase was worth it."
Herzlichen Dank, Thomas. (dr)

Preview video 27: Souverän Soccer
Daniel 'Daytona675x' Müßener (Wings Remastered, MiniGL4GL4ES, Tower 57) is working on a soccer game with 3D view called "Souverän Soccer" (amiga-news.de reported). According to the developer, "the game still runs on a standard A1200 without turbo card and without Fast RAM in PAL lowres with 50 frames per second."
About his 27. preview video the developer wrote: "This time I concentrated not so much on the ingame playfield engine but more on all that other necessary stuff, mostly the menus and tournament logic. Therefore the new video is maybe a bit boring to watch ;) Nevertheless it's a very huge step forward because from now on "only" the actual match gameplay is missing, everything else is in place (well, apart from bug fixes and polishing and some music and more sfx, of course)."

Farming simulation: Update of Farmiga
The Polish developer 'Tukinem' is writing a farming simulation in AMOS, called 'Farmiga' (amiga-news.de reported). Yesterday another update veröffentlicht. Änderungen:
- Mill for the production of wheat flour added
- Bake oven bread from flour
- Added milk-drinking cat, thanks to which mice do not steal flour from the warehouse
- Added sheep and cat sound
- New background music for the mini-game with the fox and the main farm screen :-)
- Enlarged farm x2 !!! Scrolling through the image when reaching the edge of the page
- Improved upper rainbow that no longer disappears from the screen
- When shopping / selling on the store map screen, the top screen with available cash is not hidden, so that the account and stock status can be seen at any time
Adding scrolling leads to increased hardware requirements: 1,5MB ChipRAM bzw. 1MB Chip + 0,5MB FastRAM. (dr)

Do it yourself: Clock port/Raspberry Pi interface
After the adapter board "A314" (amiga-news.de reported) Niklas Ekström now provides information under the title link for the reproduction of an interface with which communication between Amiga and Raspberry Pi is possible via the clock port.
After appropriate software adjustments, the developer hopes to be able to run services such as the file system a314fs, which enables access to directories of the Raspberry Pi, and the SANA II network driver via it. (snx)

Music editor: MusicMaker V8 Version 3.16
As Thomas Winischhofer told us at the end of October last year, the development of his 'MusicMaker V8' was actually finished. Apparently, however, he always finds the time and inclination to fix minor bugs and to continue to maintain his sample-based music editor, which he started as a hobby project in 1986, so that since version 3.12, the fourth update to version 3.16 has now been released. Changes since our last report:
Version 3.16:
- Relocated prefs file (MM_V8.prefs) from S: to ENVARC:, if the latter exists (which is normally the case under OS2 and later). This also fixes the annoying requester when starting MM under 1.3.
- Installer: Install MM_V8.prefs to ENVARC: if available
- Installer: Ask if prefs file should be overwritten
- Installer: By default, do not install developer kit
- Add install script for AmigaDOS 1.3 since the installer needs >=2.x
Version 3.15:
- Filerequester: Fix long standing and potentially lethal sorting bug
Version 3.14:
- Filerequester:
- Make list display faster
- The path-resolving-bahavior described under the entry for 3.13 below was for OS2 and later. Now MM does the same under 1.3.
Version 3.13:
- Filerequester:
- fix race cond when typing a filename
- No longer resolve assigns when clicking "Parent"

Magnifier tool: Lupe 2.0 for AmigaOS 3 and MorphOS
Matthias "UltraGelb" Böcker wrote: "'Lupe' continously magnifies an area of the screen and displays it in a window. The window can be resized and the scalefactor can be dynamically changed. Per default Lupe follows the mouse pointer and magnifies the area sourrounding the pointer, but it is also possible to have it magnify a freely setable fixed area. It can show colour values of the current pixel under the mouse pointer and also its coordinates. Additionally a grid can be enabled. Furthermore it can save the current window contents as IFF or PNG image."
Minimum requirements are AmigaOS 3.0 for the AmigaOS/68K version and MorphOS 3.0 for the MorphOS version. Saving images in PNG format needs additionally the zlib.library V3.2. Changes of version 2.0:
- Created MorphOS specific PNG icon and def_icon.
- Reworked the original documentation and made AmigaGuide files from it.
- Shows size of scaled area in window title now.
- The about window is now asynchronous and won't block Lupe anymore as long as it is open.
- Now has a proper $VER: version string.
- Added MagicBeacon support to the MorphOS version when an Image has been saved.
- Supports screennotify.library now and no longer blocks Workbench/Ambient when these want to reopen.
- Lupe can install a DOS notify on its icon in order to reload its tooltypes/config when the user changes some options there. Use ICONNOTIFY if you want Lupe checking its icon for changes.
- Added support for MorphOS extended window border gadgets 'Jump Screen' and 'Iconify'.
- Added GridColor argument to set the colour for the grid. The argument accepts a hexadecimal number in the format $RRGGBB or 0xRRGGBB. On MorphOS it's possible to also specify the alpha value like GC=$AARRGGBB.
- Grid rendering was completely broken on MorphOS. Fixed.
- Added PNG saver and respective menu option. PNG saver will save in 24 bit and won't save any alpha channel.
- Fixed true colour 24 bit IFF saver. Always only saved first 8 rows, failed on certain widths and didn't allocate bitmaps properly.
- Now uses wbmessage instead of Cli() to determine where it was started from.
- Added mouse wheel support to adjust scale factor.
- The Lupe window can be resized now by a fixed size step (the initial innerwidth/height is used) by pressing CTRL + cursor keys.
- Removed CurrentDir() stuff from saveiff(). Just using complete filename for Open() now.
- Some internal changes to argument parsing.
- Added IgnoreLupeWindow option. When enabled the Lupe window itself won't show up in the scaled bitmap anymore. This option requires MorphOS and Compositing enabled.
- Lupe won't try to jump to screens with no default title and no screen title anymore. Fixes the problem with JumpToActiveScreen and MorphOS blanker not being able to close its blanker screen when lupe jumped onto it.
- Added BeginRefresh()/EndRefresh() fixing the refresh problem with window borders on MorphOS after resizing the Lupe window.
- Pubscreenlist traversal could access illegal memory. Fixed.
- Ported C source code to E.

Announcement: 'PiStation ITX' board
The store 8bits4ever, which already offers various FPGA solutions for retro enthusiasts, plans to soon offer a board that is designed to accommodate a Raspberry Pi 3 or 4 in a mini-ITX case. It features a DB15 connector for outputting VGA/RGB video signals to CRT TVs and monitors. A USB hub and two DB9 joystick ports are integrated.
The image output via the DB15 port requires a Linux distribution, such as Recalbox. Among other things, this distribution also supports AGA Amigas. Alternatively, other Raspberry Pi distributions can be run that use the HDMI output. (dr)

AmigaOS 4: Audio editor Rave 1.1
For about a year, Daniel 'trixie' Jedlicka has been introducing the audio editor 'Rave' in status updates on his blog, today not only the recent blog entry on Jedlicka's project was published, but also the first public version was released.
Jedlicka describes the main features of the program as follows:
- A modern, configurable graphical user interface (GUI).
- A tabbed environment for managing multiple projects from within a single program window.
- Asynchronous operation: performing a task in a project doesn't block the other projects.
- Support for multiple clipboard units.
- Modular design with an object-oriented plugin system, which makes the program easy to extend.
- A wide range of supported audio file types and formats.
Rave requires AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition Update 2 as well as A-EON's Enhancer Core. (cg)

AmigaOS 4: FTP server 'ZitaFTP' 1.33
Hans de Ruiter has released version 1.33 of his commercial FTP server 'ZitaFTP'. He wrote:
"I'm pleased to announce that ZitaFTP Server v1.33 is out now, and available for download. As usual, it's got one major new feature, and fixes for a bunch of niggling little issues.
Users can now get and renew their SSL certificates automatically via Let's Encrypt and ZeroSSL. Both will let you create free certificates for your server, provided that it's visible over the internet (on the standard HTTP port 80).
You'll also need a domain name, and probably a Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service. Dynu is the one I used for testing, and you can get a subdomain from them for free. Other changes:
- Server settings UI wouldn't allow the maximum number of clients to be set to 0 (infinite). FIXED
- Server settings UI wasn't showing error messages immediately. FIXED
- Fixed a rare "SSL routines:ssl3_write_pending:bad write retry" error that could cause HTTP requests to be cut off
- Now recognizes HTTP proxy headers, so it won't treat proxy connections as local
- Local peer detection wasn't working properly for HTTPS connections. FIXED
- Fixed a possible SEGV fault if a receive error occurred before the start of an HTTP message (e.g., a client tries to establish an HTTPS connection on an HTTP port)
- Fixed a silly bug that flipped the HTTP port number's endianness."
A single license of 'ZitaFTP Server' costs around 47 Euros. The program can be tested free of charge for 30 days. (dr)

Video review: WinUAE & FloppyBridge
Robert Smith's project "DrawBridge" (Disk Reader and Writer Bridge) uses like the similar ADF Drive a microcontroller - in this case an Arduino board - to read and write Amiga floppies with a connected standard PC floppy drive. By means of the plugin FloppyBridge, WinUAE is also officially supported since version 4.9.0 (amiga-news.de reported).
In a short video review, the developer looks back at the history of this project and gives an outlook on his current project. (dr)

Editor: 'Lite XL' 2.0.3r2 for AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS released
At the end of last year George Sokianos had released the first version v1.16.12.3 of his port of the editor 'Lite XL' (amiga-news.de reported). The now available version is for the first time also available for MorphOS. He writes about it:
"I am delighted to inform you all that a few hours ago I released a new version of LiteXL, the v2.0.3r2, not only for AmigaOS 4.1 FE but also for MorphOS. For the first time, LiteXL runs on MorphOS, something I was working on for the last couple of months.
For all of you who love to use MorphOS, please give it a try and send me your feedback. How does it work? Is it fast on your system? Is it helpful for you for your development projects?
There are some known issues though. Some of them are SDL problems and some are LiteXL's ones, which I am working on fixing in future releases.
The MorphOS version wouldn't be possible without Bruno's "BeWorld" Peloille work. With his SDL port, his testing and help I managed to have LiteXL work quite well. Thank you so much Bruno for your support and the SDL fixes.
From now on, the AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS code is merged into one branch. This is necessary to simplify the work on both systems, fixing the same problems.
Of course, my work doesn't stop here. Your support with plenty of coffee, and the good words I hear from those who contacted me, give me the motivation to continue working on the next fixes and releases." (dr)

Video presentation: Michael Spindler on 'Akiko 32' and 'Akiko Portable'
On Saturday, 28.05.2022, the RETROpulsiv 15.1 took place at the university in Augsburg. During this event Michael Spindler gave a presentation (in German) about his 'Akiko 32'-Projekt project and reported on the current status.
The Akiko32 is an Amiga-AGA compatible computer with extensions in modern mini ITX format. The board is a hobby development and appears as open source for non-commercial purposes. On the board is a 68030 processor in PGA form factor, which can be clocked with 14MHz or 50MHz and also the complete AGA chipset (Alice, Lisa, Paula). To save ICs, not the usual combination like in the A1200 (Budgie, Gayle, CIAs) was used, but an Akiko IC which does almost the same tasks in the CD32. Currently the developer is working on the network card, which is based on the ZorroLAN.
Simultaneously, the developer has been working for a good half year on the 'Akiko Portable', an Amiga to go, which is not an emulation. This is supposed to fulfill the following requirements:
- as thin as possible
- two to three hours of battery operation targeted
- 14 inch display
- conversion of Amiga signals to the TFT display
- USB-C power supply
- Compact Flash card routed to the outside
- Notebook keyboard with number pad
- Trackpad
- USB for data exchange
The goal is to present a first early prototype at Amiga37. (dr)

Kickstarter campaign: The Gaming Chronicles - Episode 1 - The Amiga 500
Nicola Caulfield & Anthony Caulfield from London have produced films documenting the video games industry, in addition to various other documentaries for cinemas, broadcast and advertising. Their work includes "From Bedrooms to Billions", the history of the British video games industry from 1979 to the present day, released in 2014, and the sequel "From Bedrooms to Billions", entitled "The Amiga Years", released in May 2016 (amiga-news.de reported).
Over the years, hundreds of hours of filmed interview material have accumulated, not all of which has been included in previous films. The two were thus looking for a way to make this material available to everyone and present it in an informative and entertaining way. Thus the idea of the 'Gaming Chronicle's was born.
The Gaming Chronicles are specially created episodic content that covers certain topics in gaming or computer history in more detail. The crowdfunding campaign now launched for this is intended to help fund this project.
Over time, it is hoped that this work will become a digital film resource containing everything there is to know about the gaming industry. The goal is to produce a main documentary-style episode of 50-60 minutes, but also to create several self-contained featurettes totaling 40 minutes that will act as companion material to the main documentary and put all of this into a downloadable archive.
For this first installment, the filmmakers have decided to focus on the Commodore Amiga 500 computer, which was released 35 years ago this very year. The Kickstarter campaign, which runs through Sunday, July 10, 2022, has already raised about $18,400 of the 24,354 needed. (dr)

Dock bar: WBDock 2 V2.604
Thomas Rapp has updated his dock bar 'WBDock 2' for AmigaOS 3.1 and to version 2.604. Changes:
- added special support for project icons with a default tool of Mount (for example from Devs/DosDrivers or Storage/DosDrivers): if the drive is already mounted, the context menu gets new items Unmount and Eject. If you run it again, it will eject the drive rather than issue an "already mounted" error message.
- added a new special position value which positions a dock relative to another dock. Using this you can implement sub-docks by adding wbdock config files to the dock.
- allows to change the icon label.
- supports multi-picture files using OS 3.9's PDTA_WhichPicture attribute.

Farming simulation: Update of Farmiga
The Polish developer 'Tukinem' is writing a farming simulation in AMOS, which he has named 'Farmiga' (amiga-news.de reported). Yesterday he has released an update providing the following changes:
- Fences can be bought in the building shop
- Introduced tax system (it is best to start with potatoes, as long as you don't have any animals
- Every interval a boar appears and you have to shoot each one that emerges from behind the trees (if you miss one, you lose one seedling)
- improved loading of the program (no pop-up screens with graphics)
- much smoother and faster planting and harvesting

AmiTube 1.1: YouTube client for all Amiga systems
Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow's AmiTube enables watching YouTube videos on an 68k Amiga. They are converted to Commodore's CDXL format and downloaded.
With version 1.1 released today, the 'Fancy List' introduced a few days ago is integrated into the program: a new list function where title, description and thumbnail are displayed directly in the list (amiga-news.de reported). After switching to this variant, the images are loaded automatically, making it suitable only for faster Amigas/RTG or NG Amigas (YouTube video). The author tested the new feature on his Amiga 1200 with TF1260, AGA and 32 colors and found: "it’s not that bad, certainly fast enough to work with it." The changes in detail:
- Fancy movie list
- updated translation for italian and french
- encoding bug fixes (should show now umlauts and other non ASCII chars in title and description)
- smaller bugs fixes related downloading movies
The current version can be downloaded from the AmiTube website or installed via the update check in AmiTube. (dr)

Amiga disks on PC: DrawBridge 2.8.8 / FloppyBridge 1.2
Robert Smith's project "DrawBridge" (Disk Reader and Writer Bridge) uses like the similar ADF Drive a microcontroller - in this case an Arduino board - to read and write Amiga floppies with a connected standard PC floppy drive. By means of the plugin FloppyBridge, WinUAE is also officially supported since version 4.9.0.
DrawBridge has been updated to version 2.8.8 providing the following changes:
- Added support for reading and writing track 82 and 83 (firmware update needed too, not all drives support this anyway)
- Fixed a mistake in diagnostics suggesting pin A0 was write protect, it's A1!
- Now hides any CH340 com ports from the list as they're incompatible anyway
- Fixed compiling under Linux
Changes of the latest version 1.2 of FloppyBridge:
- Added no-click disk check when it has to be done manually
- Added support for tracks 82 and 83 if supported by the drive (firmware update needed for DrawBridge)
- Updated Greaseweazle driver to also support Shugart interfaces
- Some cosmetic fixes
Prior installation of the new DrawBridge firmware 1.9.25 is required. (dr)

RTG driver: P96 V3.3.1 released
Jens Schönfeld (individual Computers) has released version 3.3.1 of his RTG driver P96, which can be bought or downloaded from the order history at iComp. This is again a minor service release providing the following features:
- The Cirrus5434.chip driver was broken (Piccollo64, Matze's graphics card) and did not switch back from direct color modes to chunky modes.
- One release of UAE had an issue by indicating that it would support mode mixing, but forgot to provide the necessary call-backs in some configurations. P96 provides now default call-backs avoiding the crash.
- Bitmap handling was simplified and streamlined.
- The Visiona driver supports now panning and interlace.
- The installer places now the P96 version into ENVARC:Picasso96/Version so you know what you have on the system.
- The installer no longer provides wrong default selections for the available boards in case the list of installed boards requires more than one page.
- The installer makes a very tiny consistency check on the unpacked files as some people unpacked on the PC, and then protection bits were incorrect.

Game Construction Kit: RedPill 0.9.10
RedPill, developed by Carlos Peris, is a game construction kit written in Amiblitz 3.9, which allows the development of games from various genres (see short tests of two Redpill games). RedPill is compatible with AGA and ECS, the "player" for playing the finished creations requires a total of 1.5 MB RAM.
The new version 0.9.10 offers besides numerous improvements and fixes now support for AGA fetch modes, which allow the Amiga chips to work in bigger chunks, making graphics operations faster:
- EXPERIMENTAL: Fetch mode can be set in the Screen menu for AGA games: Normal,
Double and Quadruple fetch modes are supported.
- Increased Fetch modes can improve game speed, specially in machines without
fastram.
- With higher fetch modes, funny effects could happen when using sprites or
changing the screen width of the screen.
- Resize of the map dimensions now can automatic replace the tiles to the new
dimensions.
- Multiple WHDload slaves added:
- Workbench31_1.Slave 1 MB Chip 1 MB Fast
- Workbench31_4.Slave 2 MB Chip 4 MB Fast
- Workbench31_32.Slave 2 MB Chip 32 MB Fast
- Object drawing has been reimplemented for safer (but also slower) rendering.
- Embedded Help for trigger conditions is now more complete.
- If the Sprite layer was attached to an Object Set Sprite Pos detaches it.
- Set Sprite Pos will ignore parameters with coordinates less than -1000. This way you can set up just x or y coodinate.
- Action Set NTSC moved to General category.
- In Level Objects screen you can select snap to tile to move objects only in tile exact coordinates.
- In Level screen you can import and export maps in CVS format.
- General optimization.
- When an object is attached to mouse movement now it takes into account the scrolling area.
- Fix in camara not reaching end of the level with reduced screen widths.
- Fix in brush width and height when using the tile shortcuts.

Do it yourself: Amiga 500 Mod PCB project (HDMI, DF0/DF1, low-pass filter)
Jeremy Parker's Amiga 500 Mod PCB project provides, among other things, a Raspberry Pi used as an RGB-to-HDMI converter with an HDMI output on the back of the Amiga 500. A small switch allows access to the menu of the single-board computer.
Two further switches are used to integrate a DF0/DF1 switch or to define the low-pass filter. (snx)

Amigas in films: Amiga 1000 in fourth season of Stranger Things
The streaming provider Netflix currently offers a series called "Stranger Things", in whose sixth episode of the fourth season, which takes place in 1986, an Amiga 1000 is used: It is used to dial into a server and find out a location with the help of an IP address. You can see the Workbench - but the source code shown there seems to be C#, which was only introduced in 2001. (snx) (Translation: dr)

At the beginning of May a first playable demo of the Jump'n Run 'Duckstroma' was released (amiga-news.de reported). Due to the upcoming release of the full version, a second demo version is now available, which provides small improvements.
In 'Duckstroma', as duck Aura you have the order to deliver eight floppy disks to a customer. To fend off all sorts of hostile enemies, you can jump on weak opponents and lay an egg to reach higher places (YouTube video). The game requires 1MB of RAM. (dr)

AmigaOS 4: http-handler 1.11
16 years ago the first version of the http-handler published by Chris Young was released, what amiga-news.de reported about. The day before yesterday the developer released the "jubilee version" 1.11 (Queen Elizabeth II) which now supports AmiSSL 5. His http-handler provides a virtual drive "HTTP:" which can be used to access resources on the Internet. Features of the handler:
- Allows access to web-hosted files via a virtual HTTP: device.
- Also supports secure sites with AmiSSL and a virtual HTTPS: device.
- Basic authentication supported using an addressing scheme like "http://user:pass()www.domain.com"
- Supports Open(), Read(), Close() and Seek().
- Implements HTTP redirects (301,302,307) as soft-links - even works with redirects that point to local files.
- Optionally supports gzip content-encoding for faster download times, if z.library is installed.
- Will work through a proxy server.
- Can connect to HTTP services running on ports other than the default.
4Shortly after the release of the first version, the developer had conducted a survey on WebDAV support. Based on the positive feedback, he started implementing it, which originally resulted in version 2 - which he initially abandoned at the time - and later 3. However, as he tells us, he lost support for the other protocols in these versions, which is why a WebDAV beta version 6 was released, which is available on Open Amiga. (dr)

ReAction GUI for XAD: Avalanche 1.6 for AmigaOS 3 and 4
Chris Young has released version 1.6 of his ReAction-based graphical user interface Avalanche for the unarchiving system XAD, which also supports the xfdmaster.library and can search for viruses using the xvs.library. The developer has written his tool explicitly for AmigaOS 3.2 (but it has also been tested under AmigaOS 4), because it uses a new window.class, so it might not work with older OS3 versions. Changes
- Add ability to extract disk archives to images
- Add ability to extract files from disk images/archives
- Double-clicking now extracts the clicked file to a temporary location and opens it. NB: This has required the previous "single click to select/deselect" to be disabled, as the functionality was incompatible.
- Add option to enable/disable the quit confirmation requester
- Localisaton support
- Improved progress display - now shows current file progress and total
- Fix loading/saving of virusscan pref on OS4
- Fix unchecking of files in archive

MorphOS: Web browser Wayfarer 3.7
Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek has released version 3.7 of his Wayfarer web browser for MorphOS. This version focuses almost exclusively on media playback in various modes. Many web pages and streams should work much better with version 3.7 and watching streams should be possible for a long time without running out of RAM.
Changes:
- Rewritten MediaSource player state machines to improve seeking, end-of-stream handling
- Fixed a bug that caused a/v decoders to keep increasing the read-ahead decoded frame buffers infinitely (causing out-of-memory sooner or later during playback)
- Fixed a memory leak in a/v de-multiplexer
- Refactored the HLS player to enable seeking in terminated playlists
- Reduced the memory footprint of MediaSource playback
- Fixed video position reporting for MediaStreams w/o an audio track
- Rewritten the right mouse button handling
- Improved the media popup, added stream information
- Fixed input handling in fullscreen mode
- Updated OpenJPEG

Competition: 'Amiga Blitz Basic Game Jam' started
Today indie game developer Dan 'zooperdan' Thoresen (Wheel of Fortune implementation 'YAWoFFA') started the Amiga Blitz Basic Game Jam: until September 1st 2022 Amiga developers are invited to write and submit games in AmiBlitz or Blitz Basic (amiga-news.de reported).
The idea behind this contest is to increase the number of programmers and the knowledge around the Amiga and the use of Blitz Basic and AmiBlitz to create games. This means that all games submitted must include the source code so that beginners have examples to study and learn from.
Only games for 68k Amigas with AmigaOS are admitted, MorphOS, AmigaOS 4 and AROS are excluded. Likewise, submissions requiring Vampire cards, graphics cards or other special hardware will not be accepted. The game of the winner determined by a jury will be published on CD by Bitmap Soft. Public winners will receive a THEA500 Mini, a Deluxe Mini Monster Retro Gaming Joystick Kit, or a Tales of Gortluth III CD-ROM, among other prizes. More details under the title link. (dr)

Email client: YAM support for AmiSSL 5 in progress
About a month ago we reported that the development of the Amiga email client YAM was discontinued by the previous developer team. Since YAM is an open source project, however, there is the possibility for every interested developer to create an own fork and thus continue the work. According to this Twitter post from yesterday, the IBrowse and AmiSSL5 developer Oliver Roberts has now taken first steps to implement support for AmiSSL 5 (amiga-news.de reported) in YAM. (dr)
