Papyrus Office: Timeout-Requester forces new update
From the beginning of the month owners of the office package Papyrus have been welcomed with a message window that says that this beta version will expire.
According to Michael Garlich from Titan on pegasosforum.de there will be an additional update which will not include this timeout requester. But there will not be a MorphOS-native version of this update because the computer of the external developer as well as the Pegasos of the company do not work.

ACube: Scope of delivery of AmigaOS 4.1
Some purchasers of AmigaOS 4.1 reported of copied manuals and burned CDs while others got a complete set with box, printed manual and proper CD (photo). Now Massimiliano "m3x" Tretene from ACube Systems explained in a discussion on amigaworld.net:
"We never sent photocopied manuals nor copied CDs to resellers or end users.
It was just a measure a few resellers took to minimize delivery time to customers (there was a delay printing the CDs)". (cg) (Translation: dr)

Keyboard adapter: Lyra2 with support for MMKeyboard-Stealth protocol
Press release: The company Individual Computers produces a new keyboard adapter called Lyra2 which supports the MMKeyboard Stealth protocol and thus is compatible to the former reference, the MMKeyboard hardware.
With this new adapter you can use standard PS/2-keyboards with classic Amiga computers. Lyra2 is the only hardware which officially supports the MMKeyboard Stealth protocol and thus supports all available multimedia keys with the MMKeyboard software.
The adapter is very compact and stout. With its long wire it is als an extension and prevents the port from damaging by components.

AROS: GTK-Wrapper GTK-MUI 2.0
GTK-MUI is a Wrapper with which you can convert GTK-applications for AROS/MUI.
The author Oliver Brunner has published now version 2.0 which was mainly new written and is based on glib/gobjects. Most parts of the original GTK-sources are used. Additionally many new "Widgets" have been added.
Despite this there are some limitations: GDK/Pango are still not implemented. But according to the author this is not important for most of the user-interfaces because these functions are supplied by MUI/Zune. If you are going to port a GTK-application you have to add some code on GTK-MUI.

Instant Messenger: SabreMSN Alpha 34
James 'jahc' Carroll has published another update of his Instant Messenger for the MSN-network for AmigaOS 3 and AmigaOS 4 (screenshot). Changes in this version:
- The "cancel" buttons for file transfers work now. Also, Sabre now gives
more detailed reasons when transfers fail
- Increased the packet size back up to 2045 bytes
- Tinkered with typecasts for the headers for file transfer packets and
it seems to give correct values now. Hopefully transfers wont abort
midway through now
The author points out that SabreMSN only supports the older version of the MSN-protocol for file transfers. If an incoming transfer should be announced ("Waiting for incoming file..") but it will not start then the other user has a program which supports the newer version of the protocol. This implementation in SabreMSN will follow.

Mathias 'Corto' Parnaudeau, also known for Pointrider and the latest Songplayer versions, has written a new USB webcam driver for AmigaOS 4 (Sirion) and MorphOS (Poseidon). It displays the images using SDL or MUI and has been tested on Linux too (SDL frontend only).
The driver has been developed and tested with the webcam Sweex 100K, which is based on the sn9c10x chipset [VendorID = 0x0c45, ProductID = 0x6005 (tas5110c1b) bzw. 0x6009 (pas106b)].
Limitations:
- Images are saved to ram:sonix_capture.jpg only
- Sources need to be cleaned up but will be provided in the next version
- Components (red, green, blue) cannot be changed (no effect)
