`07.Jan.2002` Marcel Rohles (ANF)	Downloadmanager: Charon V1.98 Well, believe it or not, it's been released. Available from my homepage or from Aminet in a couple of days. Version 1.98 (6.1.2002) Introduced the concept of groups. Now each URL can belong to a group and will take that group's settings as its default settings. A new URL is by default placed in the group in which the active entry indicator is currently found. Completely rewritten URL parsing routine which resulted in a large speed up. This speed up would be even larger, but the URL comparison routine was changed from simple string compare to full-blown URL comparison routine which works properly. Rewritten detection of duplicates in the list. The code is now much faster and works for any number of duplicates, unlike in the last version. Charon now remembers the length of the file on server and shows it all the time (if it is available). Many improvements and some fixes in the HTML parsing routine. Addressed some security issues. There's now a special treatment for %2F URL escape code (/) because there are some filesystems that allow / in a filename. Added support for ftp://.../file;type=x URLs. When automatically creating filenames from the URL, %xx sequences are now decoded. There's a new section in the documentation describing some "hidden" features. Charon's tooltypes/arguments (LOG and SETTINGS) are documented there. It is now possible to log all HTTP headers that were sent or received through Charon for debugging purposes. More about this in the advanced section of the manual. There's a new configuration option which tells Charon not to read the size of the files on the disk during the startup thus speeding it up. More about this in the advanced section of the manual. DOS requesters are now blocked while the list of entries is being loaded in order to prevent a bunch of the "Please insert ..." requesters from a appearing if one of your drives is dismounted. New gadget "Move & start" in HTML links and Internet search windows. Changed the way Charon shortens the filenames when "Max filename length" option comes into action. Changed the way the "Directory structure" option works. It now also takes into consideration the name of the host. When a file is downloaded and Charon needs to check if there are any queued files to be started, they are first searched for in the same group in which the downloaded file was. Some changes in ARexx interface as a result of introduction of groups. Updated some and removed some searches from Internet search window. Ideas for possible additions are welcome. Fixed a bug in parsing dates in HTTP headers. Fixed a rare bug in display of percentage of the downloaded file. Too long FTP paths would cause a crash while sending a request. Fixed. Fixed a small memory leak during that occured only when Charon was started from the shell. Charon would report that it couldn't resume a transfer when a file had already been downloaded fully. SET Arexx command wasn't working properly for ages, fixed. (ps) [News message: 07. Jan. 2002, 11:51] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`06.Jan.2002` Vapor	Library: vapor_toolkit V15.13 Version 15.13 of the "vapor_toolkit.library" was released for AmigaOS and MorphOS. This library offers support functions used by most Vapor applications to reduce code size. The library's functions include the procedure of registration and watching for new versions at vapor.com. Changes in this version: Changed: Every character of an URL greater than 127 are regocnized as end mark. This should solve the AmIRC URL problem with the French catalog. New: URLs without scheme within quotation marks now are recognized ["www.blah.com"]. Changed: Default memory needs of URL recognition reduced.

`06.Jan.2002` Virus Help Denmark	Virus Help Denmark: Safe V17.7, Integrity V1.2 Version 17.1 of the virus detector "Safe" by Zbigniew Trzcionkowski was released. "Safe" recognizes viruses in memory and removes them if possible. Safe contains a bugfix and the packet was splitted into three parts: "Safe", "Integrity" und "WatchDog". Changes: Bugfix: Fixed "mislooks" in VECS, SAVEMEM and DIS anyway, seems only I use these options... "Safe" runs on AmigaOS 2.04+ and requires xvs.library. "Integrity" is a disk tool displaying any file added, deleted or changed since the last time "Integrity" was launched. This is helpful to discover viruses / trojans in the system, but information also can be used to remove recently installed but not desired files, such like fonts, libraries, etc.. "Integrity" runs on AmigaOS v2.04+, the MMU version requires mmu.library. Download: Safe.lha (19 236), Readme Integrity.lha (15.661), Readme (sd) (Translation: mj) [News message: 06.

`06.Jan.2002` ANN	Amiga: NDK V3.9 released Since Friday the update of the native developer kit on AmigaOS 3.9 is available for download at the AmigaOS 3.9 area of amiga.com. The NDK v3.9 bases on the NDK 3.5 released on "Amiga Developer CD 2.1" and is in part identical with this. The example programs are mostly the same, as well as the tutorials and tools. C headers and assembler headers, linker libraries, autodocs, and ARexx interface documentaions for the Workbench have been updated. New are the "release note files" and the so called "sfd files". amiga.lib stubs, clib prototyp header-, pragma header, and .fd files are all generated by the sfd files. As an example tool for processing sfd files "sfd" is included in the tools directory - but, one can also use third-party tools like "fd2pragma" (by Dirk Stöcker). Note: sfd files of this release have been "sanified", meaning protected and internal data are left out. C header files have been cleared and their syntax were verified again. They now compile problemless with SAS/C and GCC, even if all compiler warnings are enabled. This release contains no specific GGC header files, but this might change in future updates. As of this writing, the specific requirements for GCC on the native 68k and on the PowerPC platforms are still somewhat uncertain. To the best of our knowledge, the compiler specific header files would have covered the ROM interface, that is, the pragma header files only. As the "sfd" files are provided with this distribution, you should be able to rebuild your platform specific header files yourself, or obtain a set from your compiler vendor. This NDK update also represents a milestone regarding the assembler header files. With this release these are no longer guaranteed to by synchron to their counterparts in C. Questions, bugreports, and wishes regarding the NDK 3.9 should be send directly to that person, who created this updated: Olaf Barthel. Thanks to all who contributed to this update, including Martin Blom, Don Cox, James Jacobs, Gunther Nikl, Alastair M. Robinson, Matt Sealey, Steven Solie, Martin Steigerwald, Dirk Stöcker, Neil William, and others!

`06.Jan.2002` Michael Böhmer (ANF)	USB: Poll about SUBWAY / HIGHWAY started During preperations for the first line of SUBWAY or HIGHWAY cards unfortunately we happend to have some delays. We cannot fix delivery problems on the semiconductor market, but we would like to take the resulting delay to match our product with users' wishes, again. That's why a poll was put online, today, where you can enter your wishes and suggestions. We hope for active participation from the Amiga community. We are interested in your serious opinion.

`06.Jan.2002` Ingo Schmitz (amiga-forum.de) (ANF)	Amiga-Emulator: Sources of UAE 0.8.12 (WarpOS) Ingo Schmitz of amiga-forum.de writes: From today we are offering the specific source codes of UAE 0.8.12 for WarpOS in addition to the binaries. But remember that you will need the original source codes of UAE, too. More information can be found under the title link. Download: uae-0.8.12-R1WOS_src.lha (sd) (Translation: mj) [News message: 06.

`05.Jan.2002` Dirk Stöcker (ANF)	XAD-System Version 11 After a long time again a new release of archive extractor system XAD. This system supports 93 filearchive, diskarchive and filesystem formats nowadays (LZX, LhA, DMS, CAB, Zip, Rar, Ace, Arj, Wrapster, HA, ADF, ...). The most important new formats may be StuffIt, MacBinary, BinHex, C64 filesystems and the SmartFileSystem. Thanks a lot to my three most active supporters. XAD is still (relatively cheap) shareware. And there is still a special price for OS 3.9 users wanting to update. (ps) [News message: 05. Jan. 2002, 12:45] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
