V A N Q U I S H did 2 banners to put on your website if you want to link us (be sure to check out the sinusscroller with starfield and coppereffect banner). Check them out at extras page.

Gregory S. Donner releases on his private English Amiga website uncountable interesting information about the Amiga and updates his website regularly. In the area 'Workbench Nostalgia' for example you can find information beginning with the first Workbench up to the just released information regarding AmigaOS 4.0.

The following has been removed or tightened:

• Only modern upgraded Amigas will be supported (FPU, graphics board >16 Bit, at least 32 MB RAM, OS 3.9).
• Program functions that were not of interest for the customers have been removed (external telescope control, VSOP87 planets theory).
• MPEG animation has been removed as this is too much for the Amiga regarding its capacity.

• Implementation of the Hipparcos stars catalogue as cross index.
• Improved data about stars parallaxes of almost 100,000 stars.
• Improved star ephemerides, Hertzsprung-Russel diagram.
• Improved GUI. Many single functions have been integrated in a page orientated window and sorted by topics (see MUI prefs, STRICQ etc).
• Automation of some settings that had to be done by hand before.
• Animation size independant of screen size.
• ... and some more things.

Soon I'll upload the first beta snapshot of the new DA3 version to the net.

Staf Verhaegen worked some more on RexxSysLib.library.

Georg Steger implemented PGA_NotifyBehaviour and PGA_RenderBehaviour in gadget.class. The behaviour of the propg.class can now be configured with this to behave like on the Amiga or in a "nice" way. The default (if you don't specify anything) is "nice". The GUI of Font prefs was improved. Many bugs in diskfont.library were fixed. There will soon be a program to convert TrueType fonts into Amiga/AROS bitmap fonts to use them with diskfont.library without having to convert them (ie. you can open these fonts in all sizes without having .font files for them on disk). A bug in ReadArgs() (the flags /K/A didn't work correctly) was fixed, too.

Matt Parsons updated the AROS User Guide. Some debug statements in the screen blanker were removed. Our LoadWB has now an About menu item which prominently shows the names of the AROS developers. Credit where credit is due :-)

Henning Kiel, Fabio Alemagna and Georg Steger ... helped ... Matt with LoadWB ;-) (Note: That's an internal joke and only for the records... ahem).

Did you notice? No Zune in the last post. Of course, Sebastian Bauer wasn't idling around. He just didn't commit :-)
