Game: Official update for Worms DC announced (update)
Andreas Rösner wrote: On Facebook Andy Davidson, who is the developer of original Amiga version of "Worms: The Director's Cut", has announced that after about twenty years the game will be updated.
Bei Worms DC is the successor of the initial version of Worms. Compared to it the game already uses the AGA chipset of the Amiga 1200 and 4000. Until today the game and its successors are very popular.
Worms DC offered a variety of opportunities of modding which meant much more than only creating new levels. This develops into a kind of popular sport among Amiga users and therefore many years after the release of the game new levels and extensions have been released by users.
Update: (11.06.2018, 00:15, cg)
amiga-news.de reader Mario Cattaneo has collected the information about the project available on facebook and supplied it to us. The developer is answering a few users' questions over there, and posted two screenshots aswell as a photo of his development machine:
...how will this be released as a patch only or will the whole game be freeware?
Andy Davidson: More details about that later, but hopefully the latter. I
want as many people who still love the Amiga to be able to enjoy it as
possible :)
Will the unimplemented CD-ROM feature
that plays the FMV sequence from the MS-DOS, PlayStation and CD32
versions of Worms be included with this release?
Andy Davidson: I will look into it after I’ve got the game options done, but this
is something of a memory test! It’s sort of like riding a bike but scrolling
through the code part of me is amazed I did this in the first place haha
There was a bug on my release copy that meant that options set weren’t
saved properly... most notable after switching on JAMIE AND HIS MAGIC TORCH
or CHORLTON AND THE WHEELIES options ;) I assume they will all save properly
now? ;)
Andy Davidson: Yep, that was a silly bug.
Hey Andy, I've got a question: What title will this new version have?
Worms DC: 1.5 or Worms DC: 2 (or maybe other)? Thank you for an answer.
Andy Davidson: 1.5 I think. Unless more stuff goes in, but I am a bit rusty! (snx) (Translation: dr)

MorphOS: E-Mail client Iris, beta version 27
Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek's "Iris" is supposed to become the standard mail program for MorphOS. It supports IMAP and can read and create HTML mails. The program requires MorphOS 3.10. You can give feedback to the author using the corresponding discussion on Morphzone.
The speed of this new beta version was increased by about one third. Besides, the program now uses separate certifikates. Existing installations can be overwritten by the new version, the settings and the cache remain untouched. Now the developer is going to take a look at the outbox directory.
Changes in beta version 27:
- Serialized index loading when synchronizing folders in order to speed things up on non-SSD drives
- Compiled with a new toolchain for a >30 % (!) boost in performance
- Experimental local storage mode for IMAP. Please note that for now, all e-mail actions will be ignored while offline! Storing e-mails can be enabled in the Storage tab of account settings. Also note that only new messages will be downloaded once you enable local storage - to force downloading of old messages, visit a given folder
- Custom certificates can now be saved per account/transport
- Folder refresh now logged only if some e-mails were actually downloaded
- Fixed: MIME parts missing a Content-Type header assume text/plain instead of application/octet-stream. Fixes displaying e-mails sent from SimpleMail
- Fixed: invalid certificate handling crashed in autoconfiguration / Add Account
- Fixed: certificate failure handling path leaked memory and signals
- Fixed: changing account storage from POP3 to IMAP and vice versa meant that the folders list would not refresh anymore
Download: iris.lha (22 MB)

amiga-news.de also accessable SSL encrypted
From now on you also can visit our website under the URL https://www.amiga-news.de, that means with SSL encryption. Considering our readers using a real Amiga, a SSL communication currently is not forced - but because we attach importance to relative URLs syntax, readers should permanently surf the Internet SSL encrypted if they have chosen the SSL start URL.
Due to the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation some parts of the website are always SSL encrypted. This applies to forms completing by users e.g. writing comments or using our contact form.
If SSL users should find a link on our websites, which downgrades their connection to an unencrypted communication, then please let us know.

Apollo-Team: Delay of Vampire V4, Vampire 600 V2.1 being produced
Under the title link the Apollo team has announced that the release of the FPGA accelerator board Apollo V4 continues to be delayed. A single bug makes it necessary to rewrite an important part of the core. The team wrote: "Hundreds of hours have been spent on it to determine why the heck the Vampire V4 does work well on some Amiga 500 boards and not on others (despite same chips revisions). Team measured everything that could be measured (if you mind, majsta has the biggest thing we could measure) and crosschecked with all Altera manuals, and could not find a single hardware issue...the Amiga 500 is a real timing inferno. Most of us agrees that understanding women is easier than talking to an Amiga 500 chipset."
Igor 'Majsta' Majstorovic has started again the production of the Vampire 600. Some hardware components have been improved in V2.1, e.g. "better power circuitry, better caps, better socket, better cigarette smell, etc".

amiga-news.de: Common login for news section and forum
Historically amiga-news.de has been developed from several program packages which are completely independent. Therefore you had to separately log in the comment section and the forum although both sections used the same user database.
In the course of adapting to the General Data Protection Regulation we have changed to a common login. Users only have to log in once and are recognized as registered on the whole website. You have to accept the new General Data Protection Regulation while your first login.
