Youtube-Downloader: getVideo 0.18
With Jürgen Lucas' ARexx-script getVideo video clips of different services - e.g. Youtube - can be saved on harddrive or can be played. Changes in version 0.18:
- removed a bug in youtube playlist support
- fixed a stupid bug in youtube support that leads to 404 error
- add support for youtube HD video if available
- improved google video support
- little bit improved polylog support
- add "Setup for OWB MorphOS" to this readme
IRC-Client: WookieChat 2.12 Beta 6
James 'jahc' Carroll has published another update of his MUI-base IRC-client WookieChat (AmigaOS 3/4, MorphOS, AROS). Changes in this version:
- Nickserv and auto-join strings are now initialised when a new server tab is created. So when you open a second server tab, and then connect to a second server using the /server command, you dont get "cant join ?????" junk (etc) once you've connected.
- Added a sanity check to the Connect function, to handle weird errors caused by adding servers/groups to your list. But if it's somehow triggered again, it shouldnt crash.
- When you join a channel in the root tab, with server tabs disabled, it will refresh the display. So joining a channel will now make the nicklist appear!
- MorphOS version works again! I wasnt compiling AND linking with -noixemul, and it was causing weirdness. Graphical smileys, ASL requesters, and images in the MUI Settings window will all work now. (Thanks itix!)
- Server messages are sent to the current tab now.. or if you're not viewing that particular server, its sent to the root tab
- Made sure I dont set NList nicklist objects to quiet before adding entries if the NList object is not visible. I modified it wrongly a few betas ago to try and increase speed, and it seemed to cause a lockup every day or two.
Instant Messenger: SabreMSN 0.51
James 'jahc' Carroll also has published a new version of the MUI-based MSN-Messenger SabreMSN which is available for AmigaOS 3/4 and AROS. The changes in version 0.51 are listed in the Changelog.

MorphOS: Reggae class xpk.demuxer 51.1
Grzegorz 'Krashan' Kraszewski writes: This time I have a brand new class, named xpk.demuxer. This class adds transparent support of XPK packed data streams to Reggae. It means all currently existing and future classes will be able to fetch content from any XPK compressed stream (not only a file, but also data in memory and from any other *.stream class).
The class may be also used as a nice wrapper on xpkmaster.library. For the first time the class is accompanied not only with autodoc but also a tutorial for programmers, containing example programs. The class may be downloaded from MorphOS Files.

MagicMenu now Open Source
Mario Cattaneo wrote: Since 8th June 2009 MagicMenu is Open Source. For the project was not developed further during the last years we have decided to release it as Open Source project.
Everyone can now have a look "behind the scenes". Additionally MM can be ported to other platforms. If you are interested in the project just visit the sourceforge-sites.
Still a last request: Unfortunately we do not have the archives of the "current" beta versions that means all versions after V2.30. If you should have some of these versions on your harddrive I ask you to contact me (and not to send it at once!). Thank you.

MorphOS: Reggae-Updates - multimedia.class and multiread.buffer
Grzegorz "Krashan" Kraszewski has published two updates for his multimedia library Reggae:
multimedia.class 52.14:
- New helper methods for implementing seek in subclasses: PreSeek/PostSeek pair has similar purpose as PrePull/PostPull. They do all the framework "bookkeeping", parameters verification, detection of seek past end of stream, method forwarding along the pipeline, log messages and so on. What is also important, PreSeek implements automatic "seek-by-read" fallback for not seekable data sources. Then a subclass implementor may be sure he can always perform forward seek in his demuxer/decoder, even for streams like http.stream (which is not seekable).
multiread.buffer 51.5
- No functional changes, just uses pull and seek helpers in the new multimedia.class, it requires multimedia.class 52.14+ for this reason. Updated documentation.
