`29.Apr.2007` Bernd Roesch (ANF)	AROS for AmigaOS: Updates to icon.library and picture.datatype for AfA Bernd Roesch has released updates to icon.library as well as to picture.datatype for his AmigaOS port of AROS components, "AROS for AmigaOS" (AfA). With these, it is now possible to employ the Workbench plugin Eastern for generating thumbnail icons under AfA as well (reported by amiga-news.de). To this end, the icon.library now supports "globalidentify hook," which is required by Eastern as well as by DefIcons. Additionally, the version was changed to V51 and AmigaOS 4 compatibility for reading and writing 24 bit icon data was added. Version 1.5 of Eastern is required, in addition, when using cache, the Raw option must be set. The new picture.datatype now supports scaling in the function DT_Readpixelarray, which is also required by Eastern. Also, more 8 bit ILBM images are displayed correctly on a "classic" Amiga with Picasso 96 or CyberGraphX. Moreover, in 32 and 24 bit images on 16 bit screens, a dithering takes place, so that color gradients as in the original picture.datatype are not visible. In this regard, the author Thilo Köhler thanks for the source code. The update is rounded off with an extension to the FAQ collection for Eastern and the picture.datatype under CyberGraphX on Amiga computers.

`29.Apr.2007`	Thumbnail Icons: Eastern 1.5 Stephan Rupprecht's Eastern is a Workbench plugin that automatically displays a thumbnail preview instead of the default icon for images that do not have their own icon. The latest changes: v1.5: added RAW/S option to speed up loading of cached icons v1.4: no longer needs progressive mode for the cache, added WAITUPDATE option v1.3: in 1.2 the cache was limited to Workbench, now all apps are cached. The 68k build of Eastern assumes an OS4 compatible icon.library when the version number of the library is v51 or higher. In this case truecolor icons will be created. internal release Eastern is available for AmigaOS 3 and 4. (cg) (Translation: cad) [News message: 29.

`29.Apr.2007` amiga.org (Web page)	Reissue: PCMCIA right angled adapter for A600/A1200 Those who want to transplant an Amiga 600/1200 in another (tower) case, are often confronted with the problem that the PCMCIA slot lies directly to the case wall and is no longer accessible. Since the PCMCIA right angled adapters, which were developed for such problem cases, are no longer being produced for years, the British dealer amigakit.com has decided to reissue the product.
