MorphOS: Port of Virtual Grand Prix 3 "possible"
The Aminet-team asked author Paolo Cattani if it is allowed to publish the MorphOS-version of his Formel 1 simulation "Virtual Grand Prix 2" on Aminet. The author answered that it is still possible to donate for VGP2 as well as it is possible to port the successor Virtual Grand Prix 3 although there are some "technical problems" and he is not going to "promise the earth".

Instant Messenger: AmiMSN 1.2-WIP ("Xmas-edition")

  • Minor memory leak fix
  • Launch from icons. PNG/NewIcon/Old-style icons included
  • Removal of MD5SUM. Using function in rxlibnet
  • Only says "is now known as" if they were already online
  • "User is typing.." message sent to recipients. This is only now possible due to the new switchboard code in 1.1
  • Changed text font (that will be shown on recipients side) from MS Sans Serif to Segoe UI
  • Recognises when WLM aborts a file being sent to you
  • Thumbnail data sent from Windows Live Messenger when an image file is offered, is saved to RAM:Preview.png
  • Obtain ticket quicker on OS4
  • If someone offers you a file without saying anything first, a window will now open. Increases compatibility with some clients that use a new switchboard session for file transfers
  • Small change to try to stop clients from requesting your avatar too often
  • A few minor optimizations
  • Fixed long standing bug when removing a group in IRCd mode. Anyone who was online in the group/channel that was removed, the WHOIS reponse would still show them being in that now non-existant channel
  • Crude Direct connection support for receiving when listening. Should work in the majority of cases when receiving from WLM

Users of AmigaOS 4 should add the libraries rxsocket.library and rxlibnet.library to the Blacklist of the JIT-emulator to avoid problems with AmiMSN. (cg) (Translation: dr)
