`27.Aug.2001` Ignatios Souvatzis (E-Mail)	Repulse-driver for NetBSD/Amiga A driver for the "repulse" board by Aliendesign was added to the NetBSD-current yesterday. Repulse is a Zorro II interface to an AC97 compliant Audio CODEC and additional S/P-DIF circuitry. The NetBSD driver currently only supports 8-48 kHz mono or stereo 8 or 16 bit audio data from/to the analog part. The missing features will be added later. The driver was added to NetBSD-current, the development branch of NetBSD. The NetBSD projects invites volunteers to test this code. Problems should be reported on the NetBSD port-amiga mailing list or (preferred) through the NetBSD bug tracking system. The repulse driver is expected to be available in the NetBSD-1.6 formal release.

Changes in the new version: Added 24bit BGR/GRAY renderer, it's 27% faster than 32bit ARGB with the same quality! Added new CSS-key extraction code, made all DVDs I have work. Rewrote the motion compensation routines, made the MPEGV decoder 14% faster. Rewritten the audio.device routines, these are completely free from any context switches what so ever. Wrote generic requester routines, just as ugly as the DVD ones, but now also used for VCD and CD-i playback. Added OS9 (CD-i) and ISO9660 (VCD) filesystem parsers. Using the 56KHZAUDIO CGFX env-variable, one can now get 44100Hz playback through audio.device. Changed VCDDEVICE, VCDUNIT to DEVICE, UNIT. Removed VCDTRACK. Added pause (SPACE, ENTER to continue) and windowscreen switch (L-/RAmiga + ENTER). The window title now contain filename and video size. GUI: Updated to work with the new AMP executable. AMP currently supports the following multimedia types: MPEG1/2 video with sound (optional) and automatic frameskip. MP2/MP3 audio streams. AC3 streams, both standalone and embedded in MPEG2 streams. (S)VCD, CD-i and DVD. The features include: Fast AGA support with 8 HAM modes and optional triple buffering, CGFX support with optional triple buffering, fast audio playback using audio.device or AHI, CLI interface using ReadArgs or MUI GUI, window support on any depth CGFX and AGA screens, overlay support using cgxvideo.library.

`26.Aug.2001` Achim Stegemann (ANF)	Digital Almanac III - Update V4.0 and V4.1 (Update) As already announced last weekend the update of Digital Almanac III is available for all registered customers, now. Unfortunately this update has to be delivered in two parts. The initial archive (v4.0, 4MB) still contained two bugs, but which have been fixed in the second part (v4.1, 1,4MB). The update to v4.1 strongly requires v4.0! The new and automatic update function of the program works with v4.1 only. The update archives should appear on Aminet during the following days. Extra hasty people may download the files from the mailing list. More information under the title link. (sd) (Translation: mj) [News message: 26.
