According to him Zukowski is working on a port of new scanner drivers from the SANE-project. Changes in SCANdal 1.1: Locales, (gui)fixes Gamma slider (if scanner supports it) Brightness slider (if scanner supports it) Negative checkmark (if scanner supports it) Auto suffix adding switch Overwrite ask switch Project name changed: muiscan -> SCANdal IRC-Client: WookieChat 2.12 Beta 8 James 'jahc' Carroll has published an update of his MUI-based IRC-client WookieChat (AmigaOS 3/4, MorphOS, AROS). The changes are listed in the Changelog. Instant Messenger: SabreMSN 0.56 James 'jahc' Carroll has also updated his MUI-based MSN-messenger SabreMSN which is available for AmigaOS 3/4 and AROS. Changes in version 0.56: "contact has added you to his list, add them to your own contacts list?" stuff was broken in last release. Just crashed. Header messages are ignored now. So irrelvant stuff will be filtered out from the chat. This one goes out to Kicko! hehe. Let me know if it goes okay. Real-time strategy: Exodus under AmigaOS 4.1 "crack" described in a guide how to get worked the real-time strategy game Exodus: The last War under AmigaOS 4.1. Update of the arcade game BOH Simone Bevilacqua has updated the commercial arcade game BOH: makes the game run natively on Linux (requires an x86 CPU, SDL 1.2 and SDL_mixer-1.2); avoids the restart of the whole program upon theme change (very useful when playing in full screen, as the monitor does not need to re-sync); adds themes randomization options; adds the "USE ENHANCED WEAPONS" option (makes killing enemies easier); slows down the blinking of the automapper direction indicator; adds video mode suggestions; fixes a minor bug in the zoom selection handling (in rare cases it could cause an illegal memory access); fixes bad centering at 4x zoom (a couple of parentheses were missing); links the AmigaOS version to the latest SDL; links the Windows version to a fresh build of the custom framework (by mistake an outdated framework had been used with the consequence that, on some machines, input handling was partially broken); includes some graphical retouches to the themes "castle" and "warm"; adds synopses to the phases of the mission "tougher and tougher"; updates and improves the user's manual; improves some translations; some other changes. Additionally a Linux port of BOH was published. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 05. Aug. 2009, 15:05] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
