MUI-clone: AfA Zune 1.0, final beta 3
Bernd Roesch has published an update of his AmigaOS 3-port of the MUI-clone Zune. Changes in this version:
- supports MUI 4-images (xxx.mim-files). If capitalization is used (xxx.MIM) a frame and a button background are created which can look nicer (look at the arrows in this screenshot)
- The AFA picturedatatype_exe must be used and installed for MUI 4-Bilder. The contained version fixes some compatibility problems under CGX-systems.
- The installer works if Zune directories were newly created, too
- Shows class-number of the MUI-class if it could not be converted
- Contains updated classes in order to use the newer YAM 2.5 "Nightly-Builds" (tested on 2. April 2007)
- Example Skin-files were adapted to the new texteditor-keymappings of the contained version 15.21. Older texteditor-classes should not be used. Version 15.21 works reliable under Zune and MUI.
- Toolbar-preference "no border" now works
- Gadtools and intuition can use the skins created by Zune with the help of the contained intuition.library. Because of this programs based on StormWizard can set colours in buttons and cycle- or popup-gadgets. Examples are Arteffect (screenshot), AmiBlitz, akDatatype-preferences as well as the AfA-preferences.

- 1.269: Forgot to disable some debug output in 1.268, fixed.

- 1.267: Now checks the free stack size and uses the old file system API if it's low.
- 1.266: ACTION_EXAMINE_ALL now returns ERROR_NO_FREE_STORE if there isn't even enough space for a single entry in the buffer.
- 1.266: ACTION_EXAMINE_ALL now returns ERROR_OBJECT_WRONG_TYPE if someone tries to use it again after directory scanning was complete already (implicitely or by using ACTION_EXAMINE_ALL_END).
- 1.266: Fixed wrong error return code for ACTION_READ_LINKS.
- 1.266: Now uses IExec->CopyMem() instead of a custom memcpy().

Textviewer: EvenMore 0.63 (9.4.07)
The newest version of the textviewer EvenMore contains the following changes:
- Fixed problem with text requesters, had circular reference in GUI list
- Fixed probable problem with helpfile loading. Was using string for buffer, when I should have been using allocated memory
- If the filename was extra long it could crash the information window. This window can now be resized smaller than the length of the filename.
- Fixed bug. Was freeing plugin list before plugins, which meant plugins weren't being freed
