`01.Sep.2007` RhoSigma, Roland Heyder (ANF)	MemOptimizer 3.056 MemOptimizer by Roland Heyder defragments the system memory. Changes since the last version: smaller optimisations in the AvailMem() patch that now also correctly supports MEMF_LARGEST for the FreeStack though this has to be seen more theoretically as the biggest block already has to be smaller than 4096 bytes to even have a chance to find a bigger block on the stack. In most cases won't the system run with such a lack of memory :-) arithmetic overflow removed in StackUsage() MEMF_REVERSE usage adjusted, could be refused even if the calling task was allowed when the memory was taken from the FreeStack (makes no sense here as the blocks on the stack aren't in order). From now on will all allowed REVERSE demands directly forwarded the the system's FreeList to secure that these will really come from the high end of the memory list. critical situation in ClearStack() corrected, a pointer was still used after the memory it pointed to was already deallocated As several people told me does MemOptimizer run without problems under MorphOS, of course only in the UNPATCHed mode as it wouldn't be a good idea to replace the native PPC code of MorphOS by 68k functions.

`01.Sep.2007` Matthias Rustler (ANF)	AROS: MUIbase ported MUIbase is a relational, programmable data base for AmigaOS ported by Steffen Gutmann for AROS/i386. The necessary changes were entered into the SVN archive of the MUIbase project on Sourceforge so that an adaption for AROS/PPC can be done as well. Please have in mind that an up-to-date version of AROS is needed as in the course of the porting several bugs in AROS had to be fixed. Besides that you have to create an assign muibase: otherwise it could lead to crashes of some demo sata bases. Should it happen that the focus gets lost and no new data records can be entered you have to press the Tab key. (snx) (Translation: wk) [News message: 01.
