`25.Apr.2006` Hagbard (ANF)	a1k.org: status update, Breakpoint gallery "Hagbard" writes: "For quite a long time many parts of the forum have not been visible for guest users, as we have made bad experiences with unregistered users. Whoever wants to have complete access to the forum is asked to create an account, which is quite easy. Further innovations: Our programmer Rene has made an effort to make almost the whole forum Amiga-Brower enabled. Of course also compatible to all other browsers. Our chat system has been updated as well, it has been enlarged and mistakes have been sorted out. A user map for members has been introduced, where members can sign on. The map is, however, still in the beta stage and currently only shows Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Furthermore we are happy to expand our forum with two new subsections. One for the Amiga-Demoscene and another for Amiga game collectors. And last but not least there is a gallery with 206 images (from an Amiga-user's view) of the Breakpoint 2006. Greetings to all Amiga-users" (cg) (Translation: iw) [News message: 25. Apr. 2006, 16:08] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`25.Apr.2006` Scout Open Source team, Thore Böckelmann (ANF)	System monitor: Scout 3.6 The system monitor Scout is now available for AmigaOS/68k (from version 2.04), AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS in the version 3.6. In the following you can find the most important innovations, a complete overview can be obtained from the ChangeLog file. 24-Apr-2006, Release 3.6, programme version 37.290: Scout_window_detail.c: now displays correctly number of colours for 32bit screens Scout_resethandlers.c: the OS4 specific list of reset callbacks is now also scanned for entries, because the list of reset handlers is normally not used anymore Scout_fonts.c, scout_fonts_details.c: added tf_Extension field, if a font offers this Scout_arexx.c: added the missing remove function for reset handlers. Until now this has never been implemented. Also the last direct poking in the base structure of input.device to obtain the list of input handlers has been replaced by a proper function which acts the same way as does the scanning function in scout_inputhandlers.c Scout_tasks.c: added now function which returns the usual name of all known signal bits Scout_tasks_details.c: the old Task field tc_TrapAlloc and tc_TrapAble don't exist anymore for OS4. Instead they always represent a pointer called tc_ETask. Hence this one is shown now. Furthermore Scout can now recognize a process' code type by using the new V51 DOS function GetSegListInfo(). Additionally for OS4 the SegList pointers are now obtained via GetProcSegList() instead of hacking through pr_SegList and pr_CLI->cli_Module. If there is a clean way, then USE IT! Scout_tasks_details.c: added the extended V50/V51 process fields. These will only appear in the OS4 build Scout_window_details.c added the embedded fields ViewPort, RastPort, Bitmap (and all attributes) and LayerInfo of "struct Screen". Therefore the entries "UserPort->SigTask" and "WindowPort->SigTask" of "struct Window" have been dropped since these can be inspected by clicking on the port button Scout_mount_details.c: the capacity calculation is now done with native 64bit math for the OS4 and MorphOS builds. Hence i64.c is no longer needed for these, but only for the OS3 build, because SAS/C cannot do 64bit math itself Scout_extras.c, tblib/errormsg_ErrorMsg.c: somehow I never realized that exec/RawDoFmt() cannot do parameter sorting by using something like "Hello %2$s %1$s", "second", "first". Hence the function ErrorMsg() got always passed one parameter too less and that completely crashed on OS4. The catalog description has been modified accordingly. The prototype for ErrorMsg() was missing the usual "VARARGS68K" definition anyway. All in all this made Scout crash when it tried to complain about outdated or missing external MUI classes Scout_print.c: somehow I deleted a NULL-check before copying one string to another, which caused crashes when trying to print information of a window to a file Lots of minor changes Download: Scout_os3.lha (944 KB) Scout_os4.lha (1,2 MB) Scout_mos.lha (1,1 MB) (snx) (Translation: iw) [News message: 25.

`24.Apr.2006` Amigaharry (ANF)	MorphOS: SimpleView 1.4 Linked to the header has Tom 'Amigaharry' Duin his MorphOS-Pictureviewer SimpleView as Version 1.4 released. SimpleView marks as complete writen in PowerPC-Assembler. The changes are a alternate presentation on the Workbench (SimpleView_WB) or on a 24 Bit-screen and the usage of a own BestModeID. This will cut a shown picture only if it did not fit on the biggest available screen. (snx) (Translation: aj) [News message: 24.
