AmigaOS 4: Instant Messenger SabreMSN, alpha 6
James "jahc" Carroll has published another alpha version of his Instant Messenger for the MSN-network (screenshots: 1, 2).
In this version the preferences menu was added. Additionally the "Connection"-status as well as a dialogue window were added where the user can set several options if he was added to the contact list by another MSN user. Now you can also rename the persons in your contact list. Finally several bugs were fixed.
Porting this program to different Amiga systems is planned but it is supposed to be started if the basic functions were all implemented. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Preview: New games for classic Amigas
Though things have calmed down around Mr. Beanbag (rumor has it that the programmer lost interest) and Super Pumpkin Brothers, some new projects for OCS and AGA Amigas have recently emerged instead:
Annihilation
Annihilation is a horizontally-scrolling shoot'em up for AGA Amigas (screenshot). The developers Underground Arcade promise "parallax scrolling, intelligent enemy waves, awesome power-ups, huge mid-level and end-of-level guardians, [...]" on their web page. The player should be able to make a choice among three pilots, who possess different spaceships. Annihilation's release is planned for 2008, a two-year-old demo can be found at Aminet.
Halloween Nightmare
Halloween Nightmare, which comes from Underground Arcade as well, is about a platform game where the player can slip into various Halloween costumes (screenshot). The release is planned for this year, too, a playable demo version is available since several months. Halloween Nightmare is being developed with the game construction kit Backbone.
Ambermoon Arcade
"Ambermoon Arcade," which is also being developed with Backbone, should become a Golden Axe-style beat'em up, which is located in the world of the RPG classic Ambermoon (Screenshots: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). A demo version should be released before long. (cg) (Translation: cad)

AmigaOS 4: Origyn Web Browser 1.23 (Update)
Jörg Strohmayer has published another update of his port of the Origyn Web Browser. Changes in version 1.23/1.22:
- 1.23: Enabled font kerning. Looks better, but the cursor offset is wrong in text input now
- 1.23: No longer downloads application/xhtml+xml
- 1.23: The font implementations are build as shared objects now and you can choose the one you want, currently the AmigaOS4 implementation and the embedded bitmap fonts only since the freetype one doesn't work because of a bug in libexpat.so. To use the embedded bitmap fonts, which might make OWB more usable on classic Amigas although I doubt it helps much, rename libowbfont.so to libowbfontamiga.so and libowbfontembedded.so to libowbfont.so
- 1.23: Added FONTXDPI and FONTYDPI tooltypes to configure the font rendering in the AmigaOS4 font implementation and changed the defaults from 72/72 to 84/72 DPI
- 1.23: The bookmark code is in a shared object now, that way George can work on it without having to build the complete OWB himself.
- 1.22: Improved the speed of the font system a little bit
- 1.22: Improved font spacing
- 1.22: Fixed http://crashlog.os4depot.net/cl41
- 1.22: Updated curl-ca-bundle.crt
- 1.22: Disabled some gfx and scrolling optimisations as they sometimes cause gfx errors, for example clearing the top of a page without updating it again
- 1.22: Added bookmarks from George Sokianos' OWB_GUI
OWB 1.23 is an update and requires the previous version 1.21 which is available on Aminet.
