some small changes in AmiDream, bugfixing and introduced a daily image of a random image created very day, including a list of the last days, because the most just use the random image function as far as I see. So we just create a random image every day, which is then much faster to load for the users just want to see some random images to get idea what kind of text to write to create an image.

By request on amiga-news.de I also added a image save routine for the QR Code creator. The original code had this already but it was using VCL types (TBitmap and so on) but I dont want to make it an LCL application the LCL application wrapper is so huge and slow on standard 68k Amigas. So i made a new version of it using the free pascal own FPImage library. So here is the 0.2 Version of CreateQR with image save function.

I found a little source code on GitHub to create QR Codes. The Source is rather straight forward and simple with little changes, most about difference between Delphi and Free Pascal. So I created a little Version for Amiga, but not save an image as the original but print it to the console using the CRT unit with white and black background. It works nicely can scan with my iPhone.

Today I released the Source Code of AmiFox under CC0 License on GitHub, like the other programs before. As for AmiTranslate some parts are not published, like the API Keys for the distributor and Itch.io which are included in the programs. But if you setup an own distributor you can put in your own URL and Bearer token to ah apikeys.inc and voila you have a full AmiFox Version. Alternatively you can use the single WRP Server URL as with every AmiFox version possible. Besides this the Serial number stuff is removed for now. No worry it does make no difference, only that the image and serial number is shown in the startup, no other effect.
I published the Source code for AmiTranslate on Github today with the same free CC0 license. Its a little bit different than the other Sources because it contains my DeepL API Key which I dont want to share in the source code repository. Therefore one file is missing, the include file (deeplkey.inc) with the API Key, but there is a template for that include file as template (deeplkey.inc.template) present. If you want to compile, apply for an DeepL API Key put it into the deeplkey.inc file. This Source also uses the MUIClass as GUI Toolkit so you need to as well to compile.
I found a neat little program hunkster, written in Free Pascal, to create an Amiga 68k Hunk file of a given file, which can be linked to your program, very nice if you want include everything into the Executable. The program was made for Windows only but also compiles without problems on Linux. The command line version of it also works out of the box on Amiga. In principle one could even compile the GUI version with the Amiga MUI-LCL but its far too slow and buggy, therefore I wrote a little MUIClass application which does the same as the LCL application.

My source is on github as well.
Today i published the Source code for AmiTube on github with the same free license CC0 to compile you need the MUIClass library as well.
I created a little first release of the private wiki using Markdown as language. Its a very first release, so not everything is finished, but already working. The biggest thing missing is the file/image upload which i planed to implement. For now its only m68k Amiga Version, should be enough for now.

Recently i was playing around with a Markdown to HTML library for FreePascal. At work we use a lot of Markdown for internal documentation. The library is quite nice and written in pure Pascal, therefore can be compiled for Amiga as well.
So what to do with it. Of course if the target is a webbrowser a little local server would be the obvious choice. I remember I talked with an OS4 user who had sometime like and „AAMP“ package for his computer. AmigaOS, Apache, MySQL PHP and then some kind of Wiki and used that as a tool to make notes. a bit over the board haha to install such a huge package for it.
So I did something similar but without MySQL, Apache or PHP… just plain Pascal and it works quiet nicely… of course i only have this Markdown2HTML parser not a Wikitext to HTML but i guess its close enough.
Implemented locale translation for the AmiTranslate GUI (atm. only german but with the information more translations can be created)
