`27.Nov.2022`	Announcement: The Amiga-News.de Advent Calendar 2022 Dear readers, each of us probably associates something different with the Advent season: for some, it starts as early as September, since from then on you can stock up on gingerbread and speculoos. Another may look forward to the Christmas markets. In recent years, there has been a nice trend that, in addition to the large and classic markets, there are also small artists' and neighborhood markets that give a hint of the secrecy of childhood. But two things should be mandatory for everyone - with or without family offspring: an Advent calendar and storytelling. If the simple picture advent calendars or the ones filled with a chocolate figure, which are still known from earlier days, are enough or if it should be the variants filled with perfume, toys and technology, which have almost reached the realm of small furniture in terms of size and weight, is a matter of taste. With our Amiga-News.de advent calendar we want to take up this nice tradition of the calendar as well as the story telling. We asked developers and programmers for a little anecdote. So from December 1st until Christmas we read in sometimes shorter, sometimes longer texts about their Amiga beginnings, first successes and experiences from their creative wealth and little incidents to smile or even to think about. If you like, you can try to guess who is participating in our calendar by their initials. At this point, a big thank you to all who participated! (dr) [News message: 27.

`27.Nov.2022` Jochen Wenz (ANF)	ENTER: Computer and Retro Museum in Switzerland For Commodore fans and lovers of nostalgic devices of all kinds, there is the ENTER museum in Solothurn, Switzerland. Besides record players, video recorders, tube radios and historic computers (including Swiss makes with 68k processors) of all brands, there are also various Amiga 1000s, 2000s and 3000s on display, as well as a lot of Commodore computers from the 70s and 80s. Being not just behind glass, (almost) everything is hands-on. On a C64, for example, there is a rare music keyboard including cartridge. And in an archive for repair manuals, you can make copies. The "64er" magazine can be found there up to the year 1991. And for gamblers, there are various old slot machines and a pinball machine. In the museum shop, you can also buy active and passive electronic components, but also old long-playing records, for example. Next year, the museum will move to a new building in the neighbouring village. (snx) [News message: 27. Nov. 2022, 07:39] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`26.Nov.2022`	Dock: QDock V1.27 At the end of October Sami Vehmaa had published the first version of his start bar "QDock" (amiga-news.de reported), which he constantly develops further (YouTube video). Since our last news item he has added a second row of icons and with the version V1.27 released today the menu function has been changed: if you hover the mouse pointer over an area, the menu pops up. The tool is currently available for 1.50 Euro or more and is primarily intended for emulators or Apollo cards due to the high CPU requirements. AmigaOS 3.2 (the author could not test under AmigaOS 3.1), graphics card and 22 MB RAM are required. (dr) [News message: 26.

`26.Nov.2022` MorphZone (Forum)	MorphOS: Password manager PastePass 2.0 Stefan 'Kronos' Kleinheinrich's PastePass is a password manager for MorphOS with an encrypted database, which pastes the user name and password on a corresponding keyboard shortcut. A password encryption utility is also included. With the pre-release version 1.9 from early November, the author had reworked the code, added many security checks and streamlined the entire GUI and program flow. Now he has released version 2.0 with the following changes: fixed date format in about window fixed loss of focus on main password fixed an issue where deleting the database could make it impossible to enter a newly created one reactivated OpenURL support (doubleclick on item) added missing locale strings changed the default save behavior, it will now only autosave on changing the master PW everything else will pop up a requester if try to quit without manually hitting the "Save" menu before fixed some minor typos and oddities added the SimpleCat ".cs" file for translator (hope thats the right one, been a while...) added French locale database gets set to "changed" on exiting settings so you will get reminded to save before quitting Download: PastePass.lha (76 KB) (dr) [News message: 26.

`26.Nov.2022` AmigaPage (Forum)	AROS: Graphical user-interface for SoX in development Fabio 'Allanon' Falcucci - known among others for the brain game G.E.M.Z. or the GUI system HGUI - is working on a graphical user-interface for the CLI tool Sound eXchange (SoX), which can be used to convert sound files between different file formats and optionally apply different sound effects. As he now writes in a second progress report, his interface is already usable and shows this with several screenshots available. You can support the author on his Patreon page.

`26.Nov.2022`	8-/16-bit emulator for Mac OS and Linux: Clock Signal V2022-11-25 Thomas Harte's Clock Signal is an emulator for various 8- and 16-bit platforms aiming to be invisible to the user. The idea is to simply start the source medium without configuring the emulator oneself. Clock Signal is available for Mac OS and Unix-compatible systems. While there is also an Amiga emulation included, it "remains wilfully inaccurate" for now. Yesterday version V2022-11-25 was released. Changes: addresses flag errors in the 68000's shift operators, improving compatibility adds support for Apple II .HDV files, and adds a SCSI status indicator fixes a potential stuck-key problem with using the keyboard as a replacement joystick under macOS (dr) [News message: 26.

`25.Nov.2022`	Metacompiler: Portabl E r6b Christopher Handley's metacompiler "Portabl E" works by translating your code written with the programming language Amiga E into C++, and then using GCC to compile it into an executable. This needs an installation of GCC. Another update fixes two bugs of the recently released version r6 (amiga-news.de reported). Changes: Changed: AmigaOS4: Worked-around a bug in the latest OS4 SDK (54.16), which has problems compiling C++ code, unless you use GCC v6.4.0. BUG: Amiga: Fixed the installer still failing at "Copying executables..." in some cases. (dr) [News message: 25. Nov. 2022, 06:31] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
