Sven Drieling has activated a new feature of our scripts today. If you are accepting cookies headlines which are added since your last visit will be, for a better differentiation, printed in bold letters.

Items which were updated for some reason were marked bold as well. (ps) (Translation: ub)

MRE-1.Mai-Edition: ClassAction 4.40 and StartMenu 1.20
You had to wait a long time, but I hope you are content with the things I have done meanwhile: ClassAction 4.40 and StartMenu 1.20 are ready, with many of your proposals implemented. Some changes: ClassAction has an improved way of copying, classes for volumes and assigns, "Open with" and "Copy to" submenus, an own file attribute window, and many little improvements like file comment display and vertical arranged listers. StartMenu has now lost the nerving bugs; it can control commodities, opens on other screens and has an improved window button display.

All MRE modules only contain the English language. I will prepare the translations, they will follow in the next weeks. (ps)

New benchmarks from "Project Petunia"
The author of "Project Petunia", the 68k JIT emulator for AmigaOS4, has released new benchmarks for this emulator (title link).

Ben Hermans of Hyperion commented those benchmarks within the comments of ANN as follows:

"At a 600 mhz G3 with on-die L2 cache and a 133 mhz FSB you might expect a much higher speed than with a 150-200 mhz 060. I would guess a 300 mhz as an absolute minimum. On current PPC cards the relevant benchmarks of petunia are slowed down by several facts:

  • The 68k processor is stealing still some cycles simply because it's still "awake". Once it will be made completly slept this will result in a reasonable gain of performance.
  • Dual processor architecture with context switches and cache flushes
  • WarpOS is used and not Exec SG
All in all I guess that the emulator will reach the performance of a 060/50 as a minimum even on the slowest (160 mhz) BlizzardPPC cards. (ps) (Translation: ub)

Amiga Arena: Interview with Martin "Mason" Merz
Enthusiasts of the "Glowicons" and with that nearly every Amiga user, might use a toolbar with Martin "Mason" Merz's GlowIcon style for his programs.

Martin Merz has not only given a big contribution for an optical "face lifting" for many programs but that the overall impression also seems to be unified.

As martin Merz said within the Amiga Arena interview, enthusiasts of the "Mason" icons might look forward to some more highlights. The interview is available in German. (ps) (Translation: ub)

Amiga Speed with first Mediator 4000 tests
The first Mediator 4000 tests have arrived at least. Please get yourself informed about 2D GFX(Voodoo3) for the actual 2D performane and with Heretic2/Q***e about the actual 3D performance. Because of the current situation of the AmigaOne, a G3 600 MHz has been added to the PPC-processor comparisation chart as well. (ps) (Translation: ub)

amiga-news.de: New partnership site - Amiga Arena
From today on the Amiga Arene has become a new partnership site with amiga-news.de Responsible for that site is Olaf Köbnik who describes that site as follows:

Since 1998 it is Amiga Arena's task to support the Amiga shareware and freeware market. With many time limited offers for shareware some new impetus should be given initially and the trust between developers and users should have been improved.
Beside those special offers (which actually aren't enforced) Amiga Arena informs with many current interviews and tries to build "a bridge" between users and developers.
Furthermore Amiga Arena tries to facilitate the lifting of control mostly of "shareware" and offers along with games some high quality applications for free download. A selected link list perfects the services of that site. Plus that there are further activities like e. g. arrangements of developers, beta testers, support and sales of commercial software and some other. (ps) (Translation: ub)

New DSL drivers for X-Surf
The xsurfadsl.device for our networking card X-Surf has been updated. More than one DSL-modem is supported now, a bug that led to a crash when hanging up has been removed, and the debug-output of the appp.device for Genesis users has been removed, so the full performance is also reached on systems without a graphics board.
