`20.Jul.2008` Bounty-Team (ANF)	Bounty System opening on pegasosforum.de After it was decided to launch a bounty system three months ago on pegasosforum.de, first of all, project suggestions were gathered, and then the five most popular bounties were determined by means of a poll. The evaluation of the received votes is now complete and the following bounty projects have been opened up: [Bounty #0007]Printing system [Bounty #0018]GTK-MUI wrapper [Bounty #0006]Spreadsheet [Bounty #0014]FTP client with SSL/SFTP/SCP [Bounty #0001]Instant Messenger For every project, there is a support thread in the Bounty-Bay of the Pegasos forum with up-to-date status information like, for example, the state of donations, progress information, milestones reached so far, screenshots as previews of the functions implemented so far, etc. In addition, with immediate effect, the respective bounty can be donated to via PayPal there. The donated money will be received by the AmigaClub Hamburg registered association and will be kept on the PayPal account until the payment date. In addition to the bounties already opened, there is the possibility for everyone to suggest so-called "self-bounties." However, for these, some requirements are to be fulfilled, like the payment of a "starting donation" of at least 25 euros, for example. Further details can be gathered from the bounty rules. Programmers that are interested in the implementation of a bounty are asked to contact the bounty team. This can be carried out via the corresponding support thread in the Bounty-Bay or via E-Mail to bounty-team@amigaclubhamburg.de. (cg) (Translation: cad) [News message: 20.

`19.Jul.2008` Amigaworld.net (website)	AmigaOS 4: Cinnamon Writer 0.58 Claus Desler's Cinnamon Writer is an SDL-based word processor for AmigaOS 4 (screenshot), aiming to be compact, efficient and to provide the mostly used functions. New version includes: Experimental Printer support Experimental Export PDF support Improved font handling - support for unlimited fonts Increased stability Optimized code - CW should now be usable on Amigas with a slow CPU Minor GUI changes Please note that with this version, no fonts are provided. CW uses (all) the fonts in Fonts:_Truetype directory. CW uses Bitstream Vera Sans as default font. If you don’t have this font installed, you can download it from the fonts download area of desler.be. CW uses truetype fonts, which can be downloaded from the internet (or taken from an old version of CW). If you have installed OWB and the fonts used by OWB, CW should be able to use these fonts. Printer and PDF export is experimental. You will probably experience artefacts in your PDF documents. Furthermore, the author cannot guarantee that Printer support works since he doesn’t have a printer himself. Printer and PDF support is based on Ghostscript. If you have used command line Ghostscript to print a file, please mail the author the command and a description on the printer used. He will recompile a CW version that is optimized for your printer and return the new version to you. When visiting desler.be for Cinnamon Writer, please note the possibility of joining the newsletter, to participate in Cinnamon Projects or join to get access to forums. If you like Cinnamon Writer and would you would like to support further development, please consider making a donation. (snx) [News message: 19.

`17.Jul.2008` MorphZone (Webseite)	MorphOS: OpenTTD 0.6.2 Release Candidate #1 OpenTTD is an open-source clone of the well-known PC strategy game "Transport Tycoon Deluxe" from the 90ies with many extensions - among others a network modus, individual graphic sets and over 24 languages. The complete list of changes in version 0.6.2 you can read in the changelog. The current version should still run under MorphOS 1.4.x (not tested). But according to Christian Rosentreter who compiles the MorphOS version the next versions will require MorphOS 2.0. If anybody wants to use OpenTTD under an earlier MorphOS version will have to compile game for himself. If there really should be a high demand Christian Rosentreter would do it as before. Please give him a feedback. Furthermore on the website of Christian Rosentreter there is a PayPal button where you can show your appreciation and interest for OpenTTD - because Christian Rosentreter himself have not played this game for years anymore.
