`29.Jan.2023` Kofi	Editor: Lite XL 2.1.1r1 for AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS George 'walkero' Sokianos has just released version 2.1.0r1 of the editor Lite XL for AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS (amiga-news.de reported) and explained: "Today I released a new version of LiteXL for both AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS 3. This includes the latest code from the upstream repository, with all the changes up to the 8th of January 2023. This brings our port in sync with the latest available versions in other systems. In this release, a bug reported by one user is fixed, which had to do with the OS4 version and the system locale. This was pretty much the same reason as with the MorphOS version which was fixed a couple of releases back. Other than that, a few more plugins were added in the add-ons folder adding extra features to the editor. My beloved is the one that makes LiteXL utilise the .editorconfig files. This way the editor keeps on having a consistent coding style per project. Especially useful if you work on projects with different programming languages. You can find more information about the .editorconfig files at editorconfig.org. Also, the binary now is named lite-xl, to be aligned with the naming of other system releases. Not a big difference, but you might need to update your system to use this new name in docks etc. I'd like to thank all of my supporters for the donations and for keeping me motivated, to continue working on my Amiga projects. That's a great community to be part of." (dr) [News message: 29. Jan. 2023, 15:08] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`29.Jan.2023` Amigans-Forum	AmigaOS 4: Version 6.11 of audio driver for Intel HD Audio The AHI driver for AmigaOS 4 written by Harald Kanning supports PCIe cards with sound chips that meet the HD Audio specification (amiga-news.de reported). The archive also contains a simple "mixer" which can be used to control the volume. With the update to version 6.11, the driver also supports the AmigaOne X1000 for the first time. The other changes: Added autoswitch between 16bit and 24bit recording buffer Removed Mixer option to limit Recording resolution to 16bit. Created User Manual Small optimizations For use on the X1000, the developer explained: "The IDT 92HD700 codec on X1000 works completely different compared to other CODECs. Most noticeable is the missing monitor hardware. Instead there's a karaoke mode which will mix the input of the ADC to out Line output. Therefore the Monitor volume slider has been replaced with a mute checkbox. The monitor/karaoke volume is equal to the ADC volume and therefore controlled with the input volume slider. If you want to use this driver on your X1000 than make sure that the original ahi driver (HDAUDIO) is removed and the X1000 mixer program and docky is not running/started (be aware that the Enhancer updater utility likes to reinstall this driver)." AmigaOS 4.1 FE Update 2 (the author has not tested it under previous versions) and AHI 6.6 are required. (dr) [News message: 29.

`28.Jan.2023`	Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Tools 1.7 (update) Keir Fraser's "Greaseweazle" does - similar to Kryoflux - read the magnetic information on a floppy disk independently from the format used and saves as much information as possible to generate a so-called "Flux Level Image" in Supercard format (SCP), which enables reading and back-writing of copy-protected disks (amiga-news.de reported) The adapter gets connected between a floppy disk drive - e.g. a standard 3.5" PC one - and a USB port of the PC or Mac. A few moments ago version 1.6 of the Greaseweazle Tools was released providing the following changes: diskdefs: Fix atari.90 and zx.trdos.640 DCP image read support (obscure PC98 image format) Fix discontinuity at index mark when writing perfect flux images Emit a write-splice (WRSP) block when writing SCP images read, convert: Fix off-by-one error when printing summary Update: (30.01.2023, 16:05, dr) Version 1.7 fixes reading IPF images with weak tracks.

`28.Jan.2023` Mixel (Twitter)	Platform game: "Boxx" remake V0.4 The developer 'Lemming880' is currently working on the fourth part of his "Boxx" series developed with the Scorpion Engine (amiga-news.de reported). At the same time he is also porting the first part of the series, originally written with Backbone, to the Scorpion Engine (amiga-news.de reported). The latest update to version 0.4 includes the following changes: Upgraded to Scorpion Engine v2022.8. Player now moves more like Mario. Down is faster than up. Some coin and actor positions adjusted to new player movement. Boss phase 3: less damage when overlapping player in easy mode. Boss phase 3: boss has more health. Boss arena: added invisible block to prevent player from entering arena too soon. UI top panel: replaced 5 separate coin bars by 1 universal bar for slightly better performance. Falling coins disappear faster for better performance. Added performance mode for A500 to the 'Controls' screen. This disables the falling coins. So there's no slow down when multiple coins are picked at once. Also event collision check is set lower. Added "loading" text in UI top panel when loading next level. UI top panel keeps visible while loading next level. Levels and music load at the same time for faster loading times. Main menu panel moved up for NTSC stretched. Level 1: a turret now only spawns in hard mode and AGA only for better performance. Level 4: fixed wide teleport pipe graphics at the bottom of the water pit. Minimum requirement is an Amiga 500 with 1MB RAM. (dr) [News message: 28. Jan. 2023, 12:25] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
