Instant-Messenger: StrICQ v2 Beta6
Douglas F. McLaughlin released beta 6 of the Instant-Messenger 'STRICQ'
(version 2). Compared to the previous version the following changes have
been made:
- Fixed the '*** NULL POINTER ***' text some people reported showing up
in the contact list. It was caused by sending or receiving a message
to/from a UIN in the 'Not in List' group.
- Now that the above bug is fixed, sending or receiving a message
to/from a UIN will cause that UIN to remain in the contact list
even after restarting STRICQ. However, there will be no status
changes for those UINs.
- When a UIN shows up in the 'Not in List' group, STRICQ will now
request that UIN's short info and display the Nick in the contact
list.
- Fixed a long-standing bug in the contact list display that would
cause a crash if the existing nick was changed after the UIN was
already inserted into the contact list.

Easter-events with individual Computers
Several events that are supported by individual Computers take place
around
Easter this year. Compuquick Media Center
will represent us at the Amiga Expo 2002 in Baltimore, MD.
Cloanto will make a very
good offer for the ISA version of the Catweasel controller at that show.
The Scene-event The Gathering
takes place in Norway, where our retail partner
Data Kompaniet will
hand over our contribution to the competition prices.
As in the past seven years, the scene-party
Mekka & Symposium takes place around Easter this
year as well in Fallingbostel, located between Hamburg and Hannover, Germany.
Just like in the past years, our biggest financial engagement is dedicated to
this party. In addition to prices worth more than 1000,- EUR alltogether for
the winners of the different multimedia competitions, we have arranged an
opening of a near LPG (autogas) filling station outside the usual shop hours
for party visitors. This will enable the drivers of enviroment-friendly and
cheap LPG-powered cars to refill for about 0,50 EUR/liter. We hope to attract
visitors from Belgium, the Netherlands and France with this, as LPG cars are
much more popular in those countries than in Germany. Closer informations
about this via E-Mail.

Surf tip: Abmahnungswelle.de
While searching for comprehensive information about the topic "warnings" I came
today across the website "Abmahnungswelle.de". The website offers many details
about the topic and gives many useful and up-to-date hints for homepage provider.
For all who run a homepage, no matter whether private or for business, is this
website a treasure house for important information.
Many private homepage owners may possibly not be aware of the fact that the new
laws TelediensteGesetz (TDG) and/or Mediendienste-Staatsvertrags (MDStV) provide for
example that everyone running a website that is publicly open has to
fulfil his/her information duties about "purpose and identity".
That means among other things that it is one's duty to make the name and address
of the responsible person available. In the (German) article
Information duty
for purpose and identity by Abmahnungswelle.de you can find comprehensive
tips for this.

Hans-Jörg and Thomas Frieden withdraw from public discussions
Hans-Jörg and Thomas Frieden from Hyperion have decided to not take part anymore
in public discussions on mailing lists, newsgroups and forums and have
unsubscribed from all lists. This counts from now on.
For questions and discussions on personal basis, though, they are still at your
disposal.
Here's the complete message in English in which they explain their move:
Recent events have given me the impression that it has become impossible
in the Amiga community to speak up in self-defence without someone taking
offence in it. Thomas and me have therefore decided (in in fact already
did so) to unsubscribe from all amiga-related public mailing lists,
newsgroups and web forums, and we have deleted all our Amiga bookmarks.
Work on our projects will not be affected by this. OS 4 will still be
developed in the same way it used to be. We're just pulling out of the
public.
I'm sorry we have to take such drastic measures, but it simply doesn't
work otherwise anymore. You can still contact us personally, we're open
for discussion, but no longer in public. Fact is that everything we say
will end up on some web page or forum, being dissected to death and
commented with all sort of nice wording, so the best solution is
obviously to say nothing at all.
Thanks for reading this.
Best regards,
--

Emulator (Sinclair): ASP version 0.82
ASP, the Sinclair ZX Spectrum emulator for Amiga by Ian Greenway, is
available in version 0.82.
Ian Greenway:
This version has a small amount of code changed in the Z80 core which I
was hoping would offer some small speed increase. Despite the fact it
is shorter code, fewer clock cycles to execute, and cleaner, it seems to
actually run about 5% slower on my '060. :-( Still, the code was
optimised for '030, so maybe it will help there!
Main features of this release are a ROM Configuration GUI, .SP snapshot
support, better drag-and-drop, and some extra TZX stuff. The full list is,
as usual, in the guide.

- When using CD32 emulation, keep "Hard Drives"-tab empty.

Coyote Flux: Mail Server Down
Since one week there have been some problems with the mail server of
Coyote Flux. This caused the e-mail address to be unrecognized for almost
one week now.
However, this problem should be fixed within the next two days. If anyone
needs to send an e-mail urgently, there is another address that can be
used: sharwin@thendic-France.com.
As soon as the old address is valid again, it will be posted on amiga-news.de.

Coyote Flux: JMiner revealed, AuroraRadio online
JMiner, a photogrammetry package developed on the Amiga, has been
revealed. This program allows sequence- and image-based correction
in three dimensions and can automatically map a two dimensional map
from a (special) video stream. Take a look at the
JMiner
page to find out more!
One thing we would like to mention is that JMiner and the 3D engine
are two completely different projects: The 3D objects are compatible
with both engines but the renderer is by no means the same. The
FPU-based J Miner runs slower when more polygons are added, the
integer-based 3D engine will always run at one speed.
AuroraRadio is now officially online and is a Shoutcast radio station
dedicated only to quality music. Every style and age of music is played,
including Amiga modules and C64 SID music. Currently, the radio station
is in its test phase, which means that sometimes the server is down,
but under normal circumstances it should be available 24 hours a day...!
There are a lot of other big secret hard- and software projects going
on right now, although we cannot say anything about it yet. However,
this will change when release dates get closer. Be prepared for something
unexpected!
