A600 accellerator: Current number of preorders for the "Apollo 630"
Matthias Bertram informs us that he received 48 pre-orders for a potential new production run of the "Apollo 630" until now (we reported). 18 people contacted him but did not place a final order yet.

If Matthias is able to collect 100 or more pre-orders, the price might get reduced slightly (ca. 100 EUR instead of 120 EUR).

Matthias is on vacation from May 29 until June 12. He will not be able to answer incoming mail or give further updates regarding the number of pre-orders during this time. (cg)

There is another preview of version 1.5 of the instant messaging client Jabberwocky available.

Jabber is an open XML protocol for a direct exchange of messages. A connection to other instant messengers like AIM, ICQ, MSN and Yahoo is possible by using gateways.

The new version got a "Save" and a "SendFile" gadget within the chat window as well as a "Save" gadget within the console window. Furthermore some ARexx scripts were added which are using the new features of the first preview.

MorphOS: ShowGirls 0.5 released (update)
Michal 'kiero' Wozniak has released a new version of his picture viewer that has been renamed to "ShowGirls". ShowGirls uses MUI and offers many image editing functions (scale, crop, rotate, flip) and a PNG icon thumbnail generator.

New in this release:
  • Zoom reset with '0' key
  • Thumbnail generator (Tools/Thumbnailer)
  • Cropping/Autocropping (with preview enabled/disabled)
  • Possibility to scroll, zoom, change display properties of the image when the processing tool is opened.
  • Notification on currently displayed directory (list is refreshed when new files are moved in, deleted, renamed or updated)
  • Reworked Minimum/maximum window (now called Median) and implemented 3 modes: Minimum/ Maximum/ Median.
  • JPEG Saver: Optimize switch - produces a bit smaller images.
  • Devices list reworked. It's easier to use now (less entries).
  • Possibility to turn off immediate processing on slider movement (usefull for big images).
  • Contrast and Gamma adjustment.
  • Sharpening filter.
  • Flip Horizontal/Vertical
  • Color to gray conversion
  • Negative
  • Copy/Paste functionality. Unfortunately IFF/ILBM can't store alpha channel, so it's not copied
  • Possibility to start in fullscreen mode (FS or FULLSCREEN param)
  • Many small fixes and improvements. Key shortcuts, tab cycling, menu layout (thx tokai for pointing these).
Bug fixes:
  • Black image bug.
  • Save file requester remembers its last path.
  • Some typos.
  • libjpeg was hitting on corrupted files.
  • Slider position in some filters is reset after window is reopened
  • Smoothing can now be turned off for one direction (set to 0 pixels)

Text viewer: EvenMore v0.62
The text viewer EvenMore by Chris Perver is now available in version 0.62. Mainly the plugins for RTF, HTML and AmigaGuide have been updated.

For the RTF plugin have compatibility issues been fixed, for AmigaGuide the bug with the word wrap and the plugins for HTML and Eml now understand the ANSI command *CBAR.

In the main program the quickload.txt menu list has been extended with the key words SUB and ITEM. By more intense use of the screen font and the possibility to run the program without the need of the iconify gadget should the window now look better when using special GUIs (e.g. MorphOS).
