Thank you so much Andy.

Merry Christmas.

@tao

It might have been fun to see some more suggestions.

Deleted off topic reply.

I hope Odyssey 3.0 will be successful. Kudos to all involved.

My system is a MicroA1 with 256 MB RAM, which is a very small amount of RAM compared to the systems most other people use for OS4.

For me, Odyssey 3.0 Alpha launches, does the font thing, shows the main GUI window and eventually locks up. I got further when I changed the screenmode from 32 bit to 16 bit. I was able to display Amigans website.

For now, I will continue to use IBrowse 3.0a and Odyssey 1.23r5 and NetSurf 3.12 development test builds.

Update...

One very pleasant surprise for me since Update 3 ...

Odyssey Web Browser v 1.23 r5 (Jan 01 2022) is performing very well on my ancient MicroA1 system.

With Update 2, I would often see "Failed to allocate" memory messages from Odyssey. Changing active connections from 16 to 8 helped but did not entirely eliminate the problem.

Since updating to AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition Update 3 this issue seems to be resolved.

No dancing bananas yet, but I am very happy to be able to use Odyssey again.

The new alpha version of Odyssey freezes up on my system, probably because I do not have enough RAM available.

Update...

I had to update NetSurf and Snoopy ...

NetSurf 3.12 Dev CI #6994 working fine.

Snoopy 54.127 working fine.


Otherwise, my only casualities are AmiDVD, Imagine and Real3D.

Imagine would launch ok for Update 2 but window was too big for the screen.
Imagine does not launch after Update 3.

Real3D has crashed during launch ever since I installed AmigaOS 4.1 FE, so I think it is a lost cause.

So, I think Imagine and Real3D are toast.

AmiDVD 1.53 (06/03/2022) from A-EON Enhancer Software 2.2 was working just fine on Update 2 and quit working after Update 3.

I hope we can get a working version of AmiDVD soon, because it has been my main backup tool for many years (and many versions of AmiDVD).

@AmigaSociety

Thanks for expressing yourself so well in this video.

I also liked your previous video showing Candi with autumn theme.

My own update went smoothly on my MicroA1. This ancient system has builtin Radeon 7000 graphics.

Usually, I do a backup to CD-R using AmiDVD before I do an update. This time I just used a backup program to copy everthing from my system partition to a spare partition.

Sadly AmiDVD does not work after update 3.

@jabirulo

I have AmiDVD from Enhancer Software 2.2 and it does not work. No GUI, no error messages, no crash. As far as I can see, none of the Enhancer classes/gadgets were deleted or overwritten by Update 3, so in theory everything required by this version of AmiDVD is still intact.

Perhaps AmiDVD checks some AmigaOS libraries for version info.

Update...

Latest NetSurf test bundle working fine.

New version of Snoopy working fine.

No solution yet for AmiDVD.

@Chris

Thanks Chris. I have downloaded CI-6994 and it is working well.

@davebraco

Thanks, downloaded and installed new version of Snoopy.

Thanks for the update. I used AmiUpdate to complete the update. Network seems to be much improved.

The only casualties I have found so far are AmiDVD, NetSurf 3.11 and Snoopy.

- AmiDVD ... no GUI, no crash, no messages.
- NetSurf .. Couldn't resolve host name message.
- Snoopy ... This Snoopy ceases working at dos.library V54.116

I am not a programmer by profession and I do not have whatever programming books you guys use for programming Amiga applications. I searched through whatever old OS4SDK documents that I could find and they were way beyond my level of comprehension.

In the end, I rediscovered an old friend named rexxtricks.library
which contains many functions, including some Clipboard functions.

* READCLIPBOARD() ... Read text from clipboard

This function safely removed the IFF info.

-------

My other choice is to use NotePad to edit and save the file.
In this case, I don't care about what is in the clipboard.

-------

By the way, I wrote two similar programs awhile ago.
One uses RxMUI and the other uses ProAction.

I wanted to see if I could duplicate these programs using AWNPipe.

@Futaura

Thank you for the instructions. Done.

Now I can easily choose DuckDuckGo.
