`05.Dec.2023` MorphZone	MorphOS: Web browser Wayfarer 7.0 Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek has released version 7.0 of his Wayfarer web browser for MorphOS. As the author writes, this is the seventh time Wayfarer has been upgraded to the latest stable WebKitGTK. At the same time, this release also marks the fourth anniversary of the project. Version 7.0 has been the most challenging update so far: "Several new endian issues have crept into WebKit, with one of them causing an immediate crash when running JavaScript on big endian CPUs. The removal of some of the WinCairo port has also made it more difficult to maintain the MorphOS port. Many of the code paths that the MorphOS port is using aren't being used by the officially supported ports, which requires additional testing and bug fixing." Furthermore, support for the clipboard and the editor for saved passwords have been improved. The developer appreciates every donation that supports the project.

`05.Dec.2023`	Video series: Turning an Amiga 600 into a Classic Gaming Console In a three-part series, two episodes have been published so far ((part 1, part 2), Wolfgang Kierdorf shows on his YouTube channel "RETRO is the new black" how he transforms an Amiga 600 into a retro game console for 4 players. As he told us, this project actually came about by chance, as he didn't want to have a bare Amiga 600 board lying around. All the components used are linked in the second video. A third part of the video series will be published next week, in which HDMI will be added. In the meantime, there is also a version for the Amiga 500 (same case, only wider and deeper), as some users had asked for it, and the MiSTer/Raspberry Pi. The whole thing was designed in TinkerCad.

`05.Dec.2023`	Game development: IFF/ILBM exporter v1.2 for Aseprite Recently We introduced a script written by Prismatic Realms for the image editor Aseprite that converts graphics into an IFF/ILBM file. Version 1.2 has now been released with the following changes: Dialog button shortcuts have been added. Added a new checkbox option to export just the sprite's palette (CMAP). This is useful for Deluxe Paint users and Amiga game developers that work in Blitz Basic 2 and any other tools that allow you to load in an IFF palette file. The file essentially consists of just the IFF CMAP chunk. Miscellaneous code cleanup. (dr) [News message: 05. Dec. 2023, 06:22] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
