AMOS Layers System 1.100 & 2.4
Simone 'saimo' Bevilacqua's "AMOS Layers System" (amiga-news.de reported) makes it possible to overlay several of its screens when programming under AMOS, specifying the order, colors and opaqueness.
Since our last report, minor optimizations have been made, resulting in more compact, faster program code and ending the dependency on the mathtrans.library. This did benefit the author's recent game updates.

AROS: Devlogs to AmiFox
About a week ago we reported that Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow is also working on an AROS version of his browser AmiFox in addition to AmigaOS 3. In two new blog entries he now reports about the further development: thanks to a new version of the AmiSSL library AmiFox runs on AROS ABIv0 with encrypted https connections to the server.
And he reported how he sets up an AREXX port under the MUI equivalent Zune so that AmiFox can work with one of his other programmes such as AmiTube or MUIMapparium (YouTube video).

Now he has not only made version 1.1 available, which contains a bug fix for users playing on 4:3 or 5:4 monitors, but has also released version 1.1 of his port of the first part of the Vanilla Conquer project, Tiberian Dawn (TD). This now also offers TinyGL support and thus the same improvements as his RA port.
