iGame is a MUI-based frontend for launching WHDLoad titles. George 'walkero' Sokianos has again made some changes to the open source program and released version 2.6.0 for AmigaOS 3/4 and MorphOS:
#morphos
Yesterday I installing Terminus font (version from nerd fonts) on #MorphOS hoping to get that same nice crisp pixel perfect look I use on Haiku and XFCE machines at sizes like 12/14/16. Sadly I couldn’t find a way to disable font smoothing.
Is it even possible ?
Is it even possible ?
It's #Introduction time!

In 2003 I met with RJ Mical, the architect of AmigaOS user interface Intuition. I showed off our #MorphOS operating system, which is largely based on AmigaOS concepts and designs. It's not often that you get to meet one of your childhood heroes!

"Hans Kloss - Agent J-23" is a fan project based on the Polish platform game "Hans Kloss", which was released in 1992/93 for Atari home computers and the C64.
The new edition is to be released for MorphOS, Windows and Linux.
🎉 Behold the "next-gen" mainboard that's 30 years late to the party, designed for the ghost towns of #AmigaOS4 and MorphOS! 🎈 It's like resurrecting a dinosaur and assuring everyone it's the future of transportation. 🦖💾

Frank Mariak got our operating system #MorphOS running on #Mirari T1042 board in no time. My home is so full of #PowerPC gear already I doubt I'll get one of these boards.
Fantastic news: the new PPC "Mirari" motherboard boots MorphOS successfully!!! :)
I found and fixed yet another use after free bug in pdksh. This bug is likely about 30 years old or so.
- c_eval (shell "eval" command) creates a new "strict source" "s" from current env ATEMP: https://github.com/Orc/pdksh/blob/131021a130337e3313195c9d321c6aa40b4e291d/c_sh.c#L429
- c_eval passes the created source to "shell" function:
https://github.com/Orc/pdksh/blob/131021a130337e3313195c9d321c6aa40b4e291d/c_sh.c#L459
- "shell" calls "compile" function: https://github.com/Orc/pdksh/blob/131021a130337e3313195c9d321c6aa40b4e291d/main.c#L593
- "compile" function assigns the global "source" pointer to the passed source: https://github.com/Orc/pdksh/blob/131021a130337e3313195c9d321c6aa40b4e291d/syn.c#L790
At some point (I didn't bother tracing exactly where and in what circumstances - certain parts of gmp-6.3.0 configure script trigger it, at least on our platform) the ATEMP associated with the "env" gets released via call to "reclaim", but the "source" pointer will continue to point to the already released memory. This leads to classic Use After Free condition and all kinds of havoc and eventually a crash.
The fix is easy enough: Save and restore the original source pointer in c_eval:
