Cross-Platform Slideshow Software: S5 1.3
Christian Effenberger has upgraded the open slideshow software S5 (built on version 1.2a2, the last version released by Eric Meyer) with some features and released this version 1.3 as public domain again.
S5 ("Simple Standards-based Slide Show System") is about a browser-based presentation system, in which an XHTML document provides the contents, CSS sees to the layout and the appearance, and JavaScript manages the dynamic aspects of the presentation.
The most important improvements:
- Images are now scaled synchronously with the text
- Slides and incremental images are faded in and out softly
- Automatic, time-controlled playback was integrated
- Support for background music and noises
- The navigation panel was adapted to the new features and extended
- Four new themes that use the extended options
S5 1.3 runs on Gecko, Webkit and Opera-based browsers. Since the author does not possess a PC with Windows and Internet Explorer 6 or 7, he needs help from the user community to solve the problems which surely crop up with this browser.
Download: S5_1.3beta5.zip (1.5 MB) (snx) (Translation: cad)

Geit.de: IRCom 2.10, IRComRemote 2.10, MMKeyboard 3.24, Meridian 2.23
Guido Mersmann has released a new driver system with IRCom as well as a corresponding application with IRComRemote. Furthermore, his programs MMKeyboard and Meridian were updated accordingly.
The author asks to note that a special support forum is available for all programs. To save work, questions of general concern would please be asked there, so that he must answer only once. Furthermore, the users there can help one another as well, which normally takes place faster.
IRCom V2.10
First public version of the new driver system. With these drivers, IR signals can be emitted and received. With it, applications like video players can be controlled with a remote control, but external devices like TV's and CD players can be controlled from the computer as well.
In addition to the ircom.library, the driver package contains drives and Poseidon classes for IgorPlug, IRTrans and SimpleRxd hardware as well.
With the IRComPrefs program, setting up the drivers can be carried out.
The IRComRemoteEditor allows learning remote controls and embedding the buttons in a database, which is available for all programs.
Various shell commands allow sending and receiving IR signals and controlling scripts with IR signals.
In addition, the package is accompanied by an IRTrans initializer, which replaces the Windows software.
IRComRemote V2.10
IRComRemote is an application for the IRCom driver system. It allows complete computer control with the remote control. Programs can be launched, closed, windows and screens can be switched, windows can be moved, mouse clicks can be generated and much more.
MMKeyboard V3.24
The IRCom support was no longer compatible to the final version and led to crashes. In addition, many changes were conducted in the manual and an "Über..." ("About...") menu item was added. The problems with the final update to AmigaOS 4.0 should also be history with the new version.
Meridian V2.23
Like in MMKeyboard, the IRCom support here was no longer compatible to the final version either, which led to crashes. Likewise, many changes were conducted in the manual, an "Über..." ("About...") menu item was added and the problems with the final update to AmigaOS 4.0 were solved. (snx) (Translation: cad)

According to this, it is sufficient to carry out the following setting in the .uaerc configuration file: "ppc.use_tbc=false". This was tested under the Yellow Dog Linux distribution. (snx) (Translation: cad)

IRC client: WookieChat 2.5
James Carroll just released a new version of his MUI based IRC client WookieChat for AmigaOS 3/4. New in v2.5 is the option to supress the "join", "quit" and "away"messages, also the seperate "Server-Tab" is not needed any longer. The changes in detail:
- You can now close the leftmost server tabs
- Dedicated server tabs can be disabled/enabled. Configure this setting at: Main Settings > Servers. Server tabs can be closed now regardless
- When a person sends you a file with DCC SEND, the file comment field is filled with their nick and IP address, and the network name
- When messaging someone in private, away messages are only displayed once unless they change
- The ignore function now ignores /notice messages
- Added an ENV variable for AmiUpdate compatibiilty
- Added a "Hide" menu item, with short cut, for quick iconifying
- Bugfix: No more crashing when closing second networks
- Bugfix: Parting channels on the Serenity IRC network no longer crashes
- Added a workaround for a strange PREFIX parameter on the EnterTheGame IRC network
- Bugfix: No more garbage characters bug when using cursor up/down to scroll through your input history. (used to happen at the end)
- Type /playing or /tunenet to show whats playing in TuneNet. It's not that useful a feature really.. I added it by request. It's something nice to play with, just for ####s 'n giggles
- You can optionally turn on smaller tab sizes, by running wookiechat with the "smalltabs" switch. i.e. "run wookiebeta_os3 smalltabs". I'm aware that they dont always look right though
The Author thanks all users who registered WookieChat for the additional "pocket money". (cg) (Translation: ub)

Update for CygnusEd Pro 5
Today for the text editor CygnusEd Pro 5 an update has been published under the title link.
Some new features:
- If you want to load a file which already has been loaded CygnusEd asks if this file is supposed to be loaded again, if the already loaded file is supposed to be displayed or if you want to abort
- The size of all requester windows (search & replace, text input, number input) can be changed and CygnusEd will remember it
- CygnusEd can now search and replace in all opened files instead searching only in the active window
- CygnusEd can search for a word while you write it. This is called "Live Search".
- The section where you want to serach now can be limited.
Some fixed bugs:
- OS4 Final has (limited) memory protection which caused problems with CygnusEd and MetaMac because it could change files in the memory which should be constantly. This concerned loading of macro files and the ARexx-command list
- The size of the CygnusEd window does not get smaller if you open it again
- CygnusEd does not delete Auto-Save files any longer to use it for something different
