AmigaOS 4: 3D-Shooter Descent 2
Hans-Jörg Frieden has ported the 3D-shooter D2X which is an OpenGL-version of Descent 2, to AmigaOS 4 (screenshot).
Additional to the libSDL the game files of the Windows- or Mac-version are required as well. Both the files of the demo-/shareware-version and of the commercial full version can be used.
The Amiga port only supports software-rendering. Furthermore the network support still does not work. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: Instant Messenger SabreMSN, Alpha 7
James "jahc" Carroll has published another alpha version of his Instant Messenger for the MSN-network (screenshots: 1, 2).
In alpha 7 it is now possible to transfer files. Currently you can only send or receive one file and transfers cannot be aborted. The ASL-dialog for choosing a file to transfer is not asynchronous. That means the messenger stops working as long as the requester is opened. Downloads will be always saved to the RAM-disk.
The ports which are supposed to be used for transfers must be configured in the "Settings"-windows.
