Amiga Guru Book: Interested in Reprint of the English version?
Press release: Some time ago we rereleased the German Amiga Guru Book. We have promised to care for a reprint of the English Amiga Guru Book as well.
Recently we've been fully occupied with various other projects (amongst others the English version of the Amiga Future) and couldn't take care of the Guru Book. Now we have more time and want to work more intensely on this project.
Because of that we ask all users who are interested in a reprint of the Amiga Guru Book to drop an email to Andreas@apc-tcp.de using the subject "Guru Book".
This is not a preorder! We only want to check if there are enough interested people for a reprint!
We are not able to tell a price nor release date!

AROS: IRC-client WookiChat 2.6b8 (beta)
James "jahc" Carroll has published an AROS-version of his MUI-based IRC-client Wookiechat. The archive only contains the program. Additionally you need the complete distribution of Wookiechat 2.5.
This first beta version still contains some minor problems:
- The window size changes if a "Tab" is closed
- Some windows have a transparent background. This bug should be fixed soon. Meanwhile the author recommends to set a background picture in the MUI preference for WookieChat for the seperate windows
- The lower edge of the main window partly cannot be seen

Thumbnail pictograms: Image2Icon 1.23
Image2Icon by Stephan Rupprecht creates thumbnail pictograms, the archive contains versionen for AmigaOS 3 and 4.
- 1.23: grrr, jpeg saver was still broken...
- 1.22: another AmigaOS4 release: broke jpg and ilbm output the last time
because I changed the internal image format from RGB to ARGB without
adapting the savers to it.
- 1.22: implemented IF=ICONFORMAT/K option. Now
it's possible to create NewIcons with the OS4 version (requires
newicon.library).

Do what you like your Amiga for: Be creative and bring your productions (and your Amiga) to the party.
Competitions will be held in the following categories:
- Demo
- Graphics
- Music (MP3 remix, tracked)
Furthermore there will be the opportunity to play your favorite Amiga or C64 game on the big screen against other attendees at the gaming
competition. Not enough there will be the "Datadisco" withthe best oldschool tunes and a live act.
For the small appetite there will be a catering with free coffee and a big barbecue outside. 'Cause you know: The real party is outside!

SAFIR: IRC session with Hans-Jörg Frieden (English)
On the Swedish SAFIR web page, the transcript of an IRC session with Hans-Jörg Frieden was published. Among other things, it is disclosed herein that work will continue on the completion of the "classic" version of AmigaOS 4 as soon as the AmigaOne version is rolled out - which will be the case really soon.
Currently, the final ISO file for AmigaOne computers is being prepared, which should be distributed as a physical product in form of a CD together with appropriate packaging. On the other hand, the version for Amiga's with PowerPC acceleration cards still exhibits a couple of rough edges to straighten out, which, however, should no longer require too much time according to the developer's estimation. Additionally, a new SDK is being worked on. (snx) (Translation: cad)
