RC5-64 HAS BEEN SOLVED!
On 14-Jul-2002, a relatively characterless PIII-450 in Tokyo returned the winning key to the distributed.net keyservers. The key 0x63DE7DC154F4D03 produces the plaintext output:

    The unknown message is: some things are better left unread

Unfortunately, due to breakage in scripts (dbaker's fault, naturally) on the keymaster, this successful submission was not automatically detected. It sat undiscovered until 12-Aug-2002. The key was immediately submitted to RSA Labs and was verified as the winning key.
See title link for the complete press release. (ps)

Statement from H&P about Amithlon
»The current differences between every party involved with the Amithlon project are by way not that easy as they are described in the internet discussions - often from one perspective only. Our contract regarding the distribution rights for Amithlon is still valid. We have been reluctant with public statements, cause we try to resolve the differencs between the parties privately. We want to resolve the problem and would like to see the contract being fulfilled by all parties. The internet audience can not help with these negotiations and will often be used, to spread the own oppinions as the only ones that are true. Also the one, who cries the loudest, just expresses the own perspective. To solve the conflict round on Amithlon it is important to mediate between the different perspectives in private negotiations.« (ps)

A. Schmidt / Aminet Recent Uploads (ANF)


Andreas Kleinert removes PPC/WOS datatypes from the Aminet (Update)
Andreas Kleinert has, like can be seen from the last extract of the recent file, removed his PPC/WOS datatypes from the Aminet by placing empty archives there.

The appended readme says the following:
PPC/WOS support for this datatypes has been dropped as with V45.1.

Update 26.09.2002:
We asked Andreas Kleinert via e-mail the following question: Might you give amiga-news.de a brief statement about the deletion of the PPC/WOS datatypes at the Aminet?

Andreas Kleinert:
"I just wanted to "clean up" a little bit ;-)

The support for WOS was even stopped earlier, WOS user had to use the ppclib-emu already.

The PPC support was abandoned with V45.1, regarding to the 68k only versions 45.x it would be irritating if the 44.x PPC modules were still left at he Aminet.

Those who would like to use the 44.x 68k datatypes with the 44.x PPC plugins should use the last recent public version from an Aminet CD. The (now) free keyfile is still available from the Aminet."

Within a comment someone wrote: If you don't like to continue to support the PPC versions of your datatypes it is your choice, but if you take the possibility for registered users to download the latest version of theses datatypes this is a shame in my view.

Andreas Kleinert:
This hasn't been my intention, I just wanted to avaoid trouble if people try to use the 44.x PPC plugins in addition to version 45.x . The PPC modules are still to get from the Aminet CDs. But one thing I have to state here: My personal opinion is that the Aminet should not have to be seen as a backup medium for everybody.

DIVX encoder with gui for Amiga
Carsten Siegner writes:
I just finished a provisory gui for universal format change tool ffmpeg. I programed this as a "DIVX encoder".

Extraordinary: With ffmpeg you gain the option to encode sfw files. These are the well known "flash animations" at some homepages. Unfortunately it wasn't possible for me to create a well operating file yet. I coded those sfw files with the "MJPEG" codec. Is there someone who can tell me which codec might be the right one? The ffmpeg encoder offers many different codecs for video and audio.

P.S.: The program is not ready for download yet! (ps) (Translation: ub)
