Due to the fact that some issues of the Amiga Future have been sold out in the meantime we have put new full versions for free download on the Amiga Future homepage.

We are happy to announce the availability of Jabberwocky V1.7 for
AmigaOS 3.x, and AmigaOS4.x
Jabberwocky is a free instant messaging system, with Server modules (transports) allowing cross messaging between other networks (AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, etc).

GQview is an image viewer, that makes navigation of images easy. Images can be viewed full screen, and a slide show function allows automatic changing of the displayed image.

To speed up some projects in development, APC&TCP is searching for programmers with good or very good knowledge in 68k assembler and very important C, and even C++. Experiences in audio/video/graphics sector are explicit needed! GUI design is done via ReAction and/or MUI, some things even with old GadTools. We need some genius for AmigaOS3 and OS4. MorphOS isnt a drawback ofcourse. Payment done after agreement!

PointRider 0.30 is available. This is a PowerPoint viewer. From the previous version, enhancements are : background display (colours and pictures, full or tiled), timer for automatic slide, many memory leaks fixed, better image display (there were some missing pictures).

More internal debugging features were added and a Ruby script allows to run a whole group of files in debug mode, with a final report. More than 600 files were tested. So it is stable and runs on OS4 and MorphOS (no 68k version is planned at the moment).

PointRider is available from Aminet, OS4depot or the official website

WookieChat 2.6 is now available for AmigaOS 3.x, AmigaOS 4.0.. and now also MorphOS and AROS too! The idea of being on both Amiga and Amiga-like systems had slowly been growing on me. Using AmiDevCpp and with the help of several users on freenode #morphos and #aros, I was able to port Wookie over in only a few days!

The idea to get Allegro ported to AmigaOS4 originally came from spotUP who needed Allegro to get more stuff to port. As spotUP is responsible for 300+ uploads to OS4depot I think that sounded like a great idea and the bounty was set up at www.amigabounty.net. We have so far reached 250 EUR but I was hoping more people would make some donations as there are now two people working on the Allegro port.

And that was actually what this status update was all about. To keep it short, the bounty has been assigned to RWO and Hitman/CodeHQ and work so far is progressing well .
Visit www.amigabounty.net and please keep the donations coming, so spotUP and others can soon enjoy using allegro when porting stuff for OS4.

An alpha release of Gimp 2.2.13 is now available on OS4-depot.

Yes, this is another alpha release of Gimp. After publishing the last alpha
of Gimp 1.2.5, I didn't want to release Gimp 2 in an unfinished condition. But
I got a lot of requests from people, who liked to work with it, although the
plugins are missing. So I decided to give the other users access to this pro-
gram.
