Point'n Click Adventure: First trailer of "Ermentrud"
Timo Kloss writes: "The point'n'click adventure game 'Ermentrud' has a first trailer. It is not final yet, so criticism is very welcome. 'Ermentrud' was originally developed between 2001 and 2004 for Amigas with a graphics card, but then abandoned. It was set in a medieval world and featured an absurd plot with absurd humor. And the hero had a cardboard marche horse.
This year it will be released after all, though not to the extent planned at the time. It will contain all the original graphics, sounds and music, but the plot will be reworked and "rounded". So far only a German version is planned. It is not yet clear if there will be other languages. The game will be available for free."

A-EON is already internally testing Alpha releases of their own operating system
Allegedly, A-EON's OS4 licenses expired quite some time ago and sources
claim the company is not trying to apply for a new one. amiga-news.de has now
received screenshots from an anonymous source that seem to be from a private
forum A-EON is running for their betatesters. The screenshots show a posting
from late May, in which Matthew 'Amigakit' Leaman announces the availability
of the first Alpha release of "Enhancer Software Release V54". The term
"Operating System" is never used, but Leaman's description clearly refers to
a standalone system.

Memory game: MeMO 3.13
Simone 'saimo' Bevilacqua has released an update of his memory game MeMO. His game is based on the classic memory card game but in his port two payers can simultaneously play for getting the best highscore. MeMO requires a 68020 processor and the ECS graphic chip. Changes of this release:
- Fixed a (seemingly innocuous) bug (an OR instruction in place of a MOVE instruction) in card matching code.
- Improved card matching policy by considering it a mistake also when the second card flipped had already been flipped before, even if the first card has been flipped just once and/or its twin card has not been flipped yet.
- Made a couple of tiny optimizations.
- Changed design of 'M' and 'N' letters (they were basically lowercase, which was inconsistent, as the only lowercase letter was supposed to be the 'e' in "MeMO").
- Changed alignment of logo in menu screen by 1 pixel right/down.
- Adapted to and recompiled against further improved custom framework.
- Reworked game icon.
- Added floppy disk and manual icons.
- Improved/extended manual.

MorphOS: Web browser Wayfarer 2.0
Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek's web browser Wayfarer is now available in version 2.0. Reason for the version leap is change of the browser's core: Now Wayfarer is based on the latest stable implementation of WebKitGTK (2.32.1), which is about one year newer than the one Wayfarer 1.x used, proving this project's sustainability.
Most visible feature introduced by this is support of the so-called "dark mode" offered by some websites (example video). Furthermore some bugs have been fixed - in the past, checkmarks were not rendered at some websites for example. Please note that the ICU files included in the archive must be moved to MOSSYS: in order to run latest Wayfarer.

Sample source code: Hardware-oriented programming with Free Pascal
Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow has published on GitHub some examples for hardware-near programming - i.e. writing directly to chip registers - with Freepascal. The goal was to create the shortest possible compilations that recreate typical demoscene effects: the 700-byte tool 'copper' creates a copper list, while the 3-kilobyte 'sinus' uses the copper to manipulate bitplanes to create a sine effect.

Icon-Library 46.4.545
Recently we introduced Peter Keunecke's icon.library which provides all functions for processing pictograms. Due to the release of AmigaOS 3.2, but obviously also inspired by our contribution and especially the numerous comments, he has now released version 46.4.545.
For the first time he has not only added a documentation in the form of an 'IconLib.guide' as requested by many, but has also made it available in English as well as in German.
Furthermore, the TrueColor (TC) version now displays OS4 and PNG icons 30-70% faster in conjunction with workbench.library v44+ or Wanderer on native screens, but not with WB 3.1 and DOpus5. As Peter Keunecke writes further, AmigaOS 3.2 now requires at least an icon.library v47. In order to be able to use his icon.library under this OS anyway, he has apparently upgraded the 'icon.library_TC020' to version 51.4.545. The other two standard versions 'icon.library_68000' and 'icon.library_68020' do not work under AmigaOS 3.2 anymore.
According to him, the new icon.library provided by AmigaOS 3.2 should be "more efficient and faster, avoiding many useless refreshes". But since he does not own the new OS, he cannot test this. At least 'FastWB' seems to have no advantage anymore. And further he writes: "The new OS 3.2 file type detection of DefIcons is only supported by my v51 libraries like TC020. I have no intention to set the 680x0 versions higher."

MorphOS: E-Mail-Program Iris 0.118
Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek's "Iris" is to become the default MorphOS email client in the future. It supports IMAP and can both display and create HTML emails.
Among the new features of version 0.118 is an improved image scaling when reading mails. In addition, the author asks to ensure that in any case a written server name and not an IP address is to be used for the SMTP server, since some servers reject an IP address when establishing an SMTP connection. For feedback to the author, the corresponding MorphZone discussion on the topic can be used.

Detailed Review (Czech): Graphic cards for Sam440ep-flex
On the Czech Amiga portal, the user 'sailor' has published a detailed review about graphic cards for Sam440ep-flex, here as English-language translation. Of course the texts of the graphics cannot be translated, so these are important words to know:
- neni treba = not necessary
- ne = no
- ani = still
- ano = yea
Finally she has given some conclusions depending on for what you are using your Sam440ep-flex most: For current applications for example she recommends the Radeon HD 7750. In any case she advises to have 128 MB VRAM graphic memory.
