Pascal Papara (ANF)


AROS: AEROS beta version 8 for Raspberry Pi (free version)
Pascal Papara's Linux-based AROS-distribution AEROS for the small computer Raspberry Pi now is available as public beta version 8 (video). Registered users can download the new version under the title link. As usual the free version does not include the lx-command for launching Linux-programms from the Shell or the Wanderer and is available in the indieGO!-Appstore.

Changes:
  • Better compatibility with different SD-cards (8 GB or more is required)
  • Supports now Raspberry Pi model B+ and A
  • Changed theme for Linux app to one with less hunger for ressources
  • Epiphany webbrowser with HW-accelerated HTML5 (YouTube is working, HTML5 games as well)
  • Latest Debian Wheezy system files
  • Enabled AROS network stack at boot so games and software requiring this will work now (for example Abuse)
  • Removed old unnecessary stuff
Pascal Papara has changed his Ebay offer for the new Raspberry-Pi models. He ships MicroSD-cards with adapters for the old models.

If there are any problems concerning the speed of downloads from his Appstore, he recommends to edit the chunk size in the file "app-dlm.prefs" using a text editor. Instead of using the default setting of 64, the figures 128, 256, 512 and so on can be checked out. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Meta compiler: PortablE r6-14-07-2013b (beta)
An update for PortablE has been released which is a fix for the latest Software Development Kit (SDK) of AmigaOS 4.1. Most likely AmiDevCpp will not compile programms for AmigaOS 4 until this compiler is also adapated to the new SDK.

Christopher Handley's meta compiler PortablE is an enhancement for the programming language Amiga E and translate it into other ones with "the aim of being portable across many platforms."

In this release 6, graphics, sound, music & GUI modules have been added. Additionally there is a PortablE-forum. First of all PortablE supports AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and AROS, partly AmigaOS 3.x and rudimentarily Windows. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Clockport Expander II
Matthias Münch's "Clockport Expander II" is an adapter which can connect two clockport extensions to the clockport of an Amiga 1200. The second generation of the adapter is compatible with current busboards and other extensions, e.g. a BlizzardVision or a GRex-busboard.

On the website of the project (in German) there is a list with compatible hardware. If you are interested in the adapter then please contact Münch. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Workbench enhancement: BetterWB 3.9
Similar to AIAB, AmiKit or AmigaSYS, BetterWB is a collection of Workbench enhancements for AmigaOS 3.1, which are useful but rather simple and therefore require low hardware configuration.

Changes in version 3.9:
  • Disksalv and pfsdoctor are now integrated as salvage options
  • Addmem command allows you to configure non autoconfig friendly ram expansions
  • Icon.library has been updated to 46.4.399
  • Prism2v2 has been updated to 2.6
  • PrepCard+ has been updated to v0.2
  • SmartWin is no longer needed. CleverWIN replaces it, and doesnt require a workbench reset
  • TextEngine crashed under some RTG systems. It has been replaced by Redit
  • SwazInfo is suggested when switching to GlowIcons
  • Reduced memory footprint a bit more
  • A few more minor fixes and tweaks
