- "contact has added you to his list, add them to your own contacts list?" stuff was broken in last release. Just crashed.

Real-time strategy: Exodus under AmigaOS 4.1
"crack" described in a guide how to get worked the real-time strategy game Exodus: The last War under AmigaOS 4.1.
Update of the arcade game BOH
Simone Bevilacqua has updated the commercial arcade game BOH:
- makes the game run natively on Linux (requires an x86 CPU, SDL 1.2 and SDL_mixer-1.2);
- avoids the restart of the whole program upon theme change (very useful when playing in full screen, as the monitor does not need to re-sync);
- adds themes randomization options;
- adds the "USE ENHANCED WEAPONS" option (makes killing enemies easier);
- slows down the blinking of the automapper direction indicator;
- adds video mode suggestions;
- fixes a minor bug in the zoom selection handling (in rare cases it could cause an illegal memory access);
- fixes bad centering at 4x zoom (a couple of parentheses were missing);
- links the AmigaOS version to the latest SDL;
- links the Windows version to a fresh build of the custom framework (by mistake an outdated framework had been used with the consequence that, on some machines, input handling was partially broken);
- includes some graphical retouches to the themes "castle" and "warm";
- adds synopses to the phases of the mission "tougher and tougher";
- updates and improves the user's manual;
- improves some translations;
- some other changes.
Additionally a Linux port of BOH was published.
