Thereby also the link for the source of supply is given. The service is rounded off with a few suitable MODs for the topic. She encourages the Amiga users to report missing games.

- Fixed several edge cases where Wayfarer's url bar wouldn't correctly show page's url
- Added code to handle "ContentDisposition: attachment" to trigger downloading instead of displaying the target url
- Fixed 'Reload' to work after a failed page load
- Downloaded filename had 1st letter truncated in some cases due to a bug in header parsing
- Enabled USE_NEW_THEME in WebKit to change how some controls are drawn
- Default CSS tweaks to prevent invisible checkboxes/radio buttons

Cache management: Source code of 'HyperCache' released
In the late 1980s, early 1990s, Canadian-American programmer David Plummer wrote the cache management 'HyperCache'. Inspired by a user's request, Plummer now published the source code on GitHub and wants to give interested users, programmers and developers the opportunity to take a nostalgic look at program code of that time in general and in particular at the 'state of knowledge' of the author, who was still learning C at that time.

ModExplorerNG 3.81 for all Amiga systems
In our last news we reported about the 'final version' 3.8 of the ModPlayer developed by Jörg Renkert. Now he has made both his announcements true and on the one hand provided his audio player sorted by target systems with their own versions: The NG variant is still available for all Amiga systems, but if you use the OS3 variant you have to reckon with it running slowly on corresponding systems. Therefore he has created a separate ModExplorerCE version for AmigaOS 3 systems, which contains all important functions as well, but some, like ARexx, have been deactivated or simplified like the search function. Furthermore, with ModExplorerME there is now also a separate version for Android systems.
On the other hand, he has cleaned up some bugs in the NG version 3.8 and released the successor 3.81.

amiga.net.pl/bitronic.pl: Statement by Adam Zalepa
In the past, Adam Zalepa published several Amiga books and games at amiga.net.pl and bitronic.pl, respectively. Suddenly, payments and delivery of goods stopped (amiga-news.de reported). In the meantime he published a statement at exec.pl (translation from Polish into English by Konrad 'koszer' Czuba).
According to it, his withdrawal would have been dictated by personal reasons and the state of his health. His business partners would have decided to end the cooperation. His aim would be to collect all his publications, including foreign language versions, at retroguide.pl. He would be aware of his remaining obligations and would try to fulfill them with a delay or in a slightly different form than intended. If his health permits, he would plan to return to previous projects in 2022 and continue to develop them, providing most of the content for free or only for the price of covering costs.

AmiTube: YouTube client for 68k Amigas
Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow's AmiTube enables watching YouTube videos on an 68k Amiga. To do so, they are converted to Commodore's CDXL format and downloaded (video).
Please not that conversion is executed on the developer's personal server, thus he asks to restrict oneself to few and short videos. Furthermore the program must not be shared but always be downloaded from the author's website at the title link.
