Web browser: IBrowse 2.5 available
Press release: 30th August 2019 - Oliver Roberts and the IBrowse Team are pleased to announce the immediate release of IBrowse 2.5 for AmigaOS 3.x and 4.x. After many years in the making, development has been on a roller coaster since IBrowse 2.4, with challenging personal, technical and commercial issues complicating the release schedule. However, we are extremely happy to finally make this new version available to all the valued users who have been waiting so patiently.
IBrowse 2.5 fixes many bugs, making it the most stable and fastest version yet, but more importantly brings modern SSL/TLS support and a fully native AmigaOS 4.x build. Below is a very brief summary of the key changes since version 2.4:
- Brand new OS4 PPC native version. This is not a simple port, but we have taken great care to ensure it fully utilises of all the relevant new features avaiable in OS4 and as such requires a minimum of OS4.1 Final Edition. Uses the new graphics.library RTG system, dropping CyberGraphX support completely. Other features include faster image rendering using hardware compositing, anti-aliased text rendering and proper daylight saving time handling.
- Support for AmiSSLv4 has been added to IBrowse 2.5, allowing the use of the most up to date SSL implementation available for AmigaOS, including TLSv1.3, based on the most recent versions of OpenSSL.
- Integrated with new MUI 4.0 and 5.0 features, including new context sensitive mouse pointers, support for various built-in MUI menus and other new GUI additions. MUI 3.8 is still supported (although we recommend 3.9 as a minimum).
- Browser spoofing strings can now be customised in a variety of different ways with up to 128 user defined strings available in the preferences.
- All the internal image decoders have been improved, with various fixes, alpha channel handling, and speed optimisations. The JPEG and PNG decoders now fully utilise the decoding improvements and optimisations from the current Warp Datatypes, which also includes AltiVec acceleration in the JPEG decoder.
- Full alpha channel support on >= 15-bit displays (OS4 only).
- 4Gb+ file handling and downloads, with files bigger than 2Gb now being handled properly in the GUI (OS4 only).
- The OpenSearch standard is now supported for allowing search engines to automatically be added to the search bar, in addition to the existing older Sherlock/Mycroft support from IBrowse 2.4.
- TextEditField object has had an overhaul, fixing various issues and adding new features. Rendering is done in a more MUI4/5 compatible manner allowing these objects to inherit your MUI settings. Your mousewheel can now be used for scrolling and various MUI defined keyboard shortcuts are now honoured.
- Improved general stability and memory leaks plugged.
- Hundreds of other minor and major bug fixes + improvements, and increased tolerance of broken sites for better compatibility.
Editorial note: Also for existing customers, the update is not available for free: if you watn to use the demo version without any limitations you have to purchase a keyfile. The full version costs 54 Euro and you will get the 68k as well as the PPC version for it. Upgrades of previous versions cost 45 Euro (upgrades of IBrowse 1.x) or 30 Euro (IBrowse 2.x). If you are going to upgrade only your AmigaOS 3 version, you only have to pay 15 or 30 Euro depending on version of the existing keyfile.

Print magazine: Amiga Future, issue 140
The English and German editions of Amiga Future 140 (September/October 2019) have been released today and can be ordered from the magazine staff or various Amiga dealers. The publisher has pointed out that recently the magazine was selling very well. Therefore it was sold out before the publication date. Until an increase of the edition will be realized it is highly recommended to order in advance at an early stage or to acquire a subscription.
This issue's topics include reviews to the AmigaOS 3.1.4-Update and "Skill Grid" as well as a special about "XCopy".

Audio player: AmigaAMP3 3.25 (update)
Thomas Wenzel wrote: This version mainly provides bug fixes and stability improvements. As new feature the AmigaOS-4 version now also supports the mpega.library for decoding MP2/MP3.
As user you can now choose between the traditional AMP (giving the name to the application) and MPEG-A. MPEG-A is available as highly optimized fixed point version which, in particular, requires few computing time under QEMU-based emulations (WinUAE).
Update: (27.08.2019, 06:15, dr)
Upon request of amiga-news.de Thomas Wenzel confirmed the experiences of a reader that AmigaAMP 3.25 cannot read WAV/AIFF files. This support was skipped by introducing version 3 of the 68k version. Thomas Wenzel cannot remember the exact reason for it but will examine it. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Power architecture: ISA released as open source, softcore introduced
According to the OpenPOWER Foundation under the title link, the Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) of the IBM POWER processors have been released as open source. Hugh Blemings, Executive Director of the OpenPOWER Foundation, furthermore wrote: "In addition to open sourcing the POWER ISA, IBM is also contributing a newly developed softcore to the community. In a very short time, an IBM engineer was able to develop a softcore on the POWER ISA, and get it up and running on a Xilinx FPGA. This softcore implementation is being demonstrated this week at OpenPOWER Summit North America."

Event: Dickinson and Tyschtschenko at Amiga Future Gamescom booth
Press release: Amiga Future: Again at Gamescom - Also this year the Amiga Future will be represented with APC&TCP at Gamescom in the retro area.
Visitors can get detailed information about the Amiga computer system at the almost 90 m² booth and, of course, also test more than 20 devices on site. The Amiga Future team will surely be able to answer all your questions about Amiga.
As guests of honor we have Trevor Dickinson from A-EON Technology on tuesday and wednesday and Petro Tyschtschenko (formerly Amiga Technologies) on saturday at the stand.
In addition, the Apollo team shows the brand new Vampire 4. You can test the Vampire 4 in detail and the developers are also available for questions.
But we also have two IndieGO systems on our stand, which of course can be thoroughly tested.
Of course, Pascal Papara is also there, ready to answer all your questions.
Since we can not (yet) be in two places at the same time, no orders will be sent from August 17 to 27 by our online shop.
This also applies to download versions. E-mails can only be answered after Gamescom. We ask for patience.
It may take some time before all orders and e-mails can be processed. (snx)

Hollywood: Polybios 1.2 released
Press release: Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to present Polybios 1.2. This plugin can be used to create and view PDF documents from Hollywood scripts and contains the most advanced PDF rendering engine available on Amiga systems. Version 1.2 is a minor update and contains some fixes and minor improvements.
The plugin is now available for download from the official Hollywood portal under the title link. Thanks to Hollywood's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS3 (m68k, m881), AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS (x86), Linux (ppc, arm, x86, x64), macOS (ppc, x86, x64), Windows (x86, x64) and Android (arm, arm64) are provided.

Distribution for AmigaOS 3.9: AfA One 1.0
First the distribution AROS One for 68k and x86 was available. Now an Amiga distribution was released which is based on AfA 4.8 adding some AROS components to AmigaOS. An existing AmigaOS-3.9 installation with the inofficial BoingBag 4.
If you use a real Amiga a 68060 processor is required, under WinUAE the emulation of a 68020/030/040 with 256 MB Zorro-III-RAM. At least 2 GB harddrive memory is required as well.
After the installation of AmigaOS 3.9, all content of SYS:WBStartup as well as the directory SYS:Utilities/Amplifer have to be deleted. Then all harddrive is overwritten or completed with the image "AfA One.hdf". For WinUAE users a configuration file is included. The name of the Kickstart-3.1 file has to be "KickStart31".

Hardware: Kickstart-ROM switcher Romulator
In the EAB forum, kipper2k has announced the latest product of his team, the "Romulator", which in an Amiga 500, 600 or 2000 allows you to switch between several Kickstart-ROM images (video).
Amiga On The Lake will sell the Romulator.
Below you can read the English-language original announcement:
"I have something new to show off today, something that I don't think has been done for the masses, I believe Commodore used something similar in the development stages of the Amiga.
We call it the 'Romulator'...
It emulates the Amiga ROM and is for the 16-bit computers. If demand is high enough we will finish up the 32-bit version. First here are its features.
- Accepts up to 1 MB ROM images
- ROMs can be byteswapped or normal
- Supports Amiga 500s of revision 3, 5, 6a and 8
- Supports Amiga 600s
- For those hackers, it is possible to support 2 MB ROMs (you're on your own, LOL)
- USB and SD support
- ROMs are stored using onboard SD card
- ROMs can be copied from PC to Amiga Romulator SD card
The Romulator sits in the Amiga ROM socket taking the place of the Amiga ROM. When you turn on the Amiga the Amiga is held in the Pause state and the Romulator will display its own bootup menu.
The menu will show all available ROMs you have on your SD card and you can select by keyboard arrows and mouse. Pressing no keys/mouse will cause the Amiga to continue its bootup after a selectable time-out period. Pressing an arrow key/mouse will stop the countdown and you can then move up and down and then press enter to select your ROM to load. The Amiga remembers the previosly used ROM and will load that.
The Romulator has 1 wire that needs to be connected to the Reset line of the Amiga. If using the A500MX keyboard there is a header onboard you just plug it in to. Using the A500MX contoller on a regular keyboard also has a header (oops, I haven't told anyone about that yet... - next week for that!). For the A600 the reset wire needs to be connected to a transistor leg (easy solder) and I am also making a little easy install board similar to the Gotek ones I have just done.
The Menu is a throwback to the classic type intros and has music available. Many, many thanks to Mikestir for the coding on this, it is just bloomin AWESOME (excuse my language). If Mike has time he will release updates that can allow the enduser to use their own music (no promises, he is very busy).
So what does this mean. For starters people can work on their own custom ROMs and try them on the Romulator to see if they are working. A 1 MB ROM image has lots of possibilities as regards custom libraries, onbord HRTMON (and if someone can do a onboard Action Replay ROM I will be forever in their debt (elbow elbow, nudge nudge). Hopefully this will now mean the end of the annoying burning of ROMs which is time consuming and not always successful.
So when is this available... I have a supply in front of me ready to be shipped to AOTL. It is finished, it was sooo hard to keep this quiet and I am glad that is is now free. I do not know what demand would be like for this and the price for parts is not too cheap, so based on demand I will have more made according to demand. The board is a 4-layer board and uses an ARM processor.
For those who want one, supplies are limited and providing there is demand we will produce more.
Cost of A500/A600 versions are the same (expected to be ~$79 USD), the only difference between the two of them is the board layout is reversed. I actually haven't tried in an A1000/A2000, I will add this check to the list of things to do.
If you want a 32-bit version for your A1200 (with 2 MB ROM capability) then flood this thread with requests and we can see about completing our design."
Zum Amiga 2000 trug er noch nach:
"I have just tested my A2000 with the Romulator and the results are good. I tied into the reset line for the romulator and was pleasantly surprised I never even had to solder the reset line, it fits snugly underneath R201.
This is not meant to be used in competition/combination with the Vampire, I consider this an affordable option for the masses who want to just play games swapping ROMs on the fly for maximum compatibility.
So you can see [the original post also includes pictures, editor's note] the new Gotek and the Romulator will sit under the A2000 PSU with lots of clearance. I will create a faceplate for the Gotek so that the OLED can sit in the front of the A2000 with a small button plate, so we are set. :-)
Should be easy enough to tap into the sync and Green line for the OSD display. We can use the big or small OLED. If someone beats me to make a 3D print model for one I will be very grateful. I am done for the night, too much beer. :-)
Just taking another look, the A600 version would probably fit better as it would not interfere with Agnus and you can do the 2MB add-on with... (What's its name, LOL, can't remember.)"

- Nice folder icons, icons for failed/draft messages in the Outgoing folder
- Folder settings (accessible from menu)
- It is now possible to create and delete IMAP folders
- Closed state of a folder tree is now serialized
Also fixed:
- INBOX folder wouldn't always be detected correctly (happened on Yahoo)
- Fixed sending of emails from accounts that had no Drafts/Sent folder
- Fixed the 'view in external browser' feature (for attachments)
- Fixed a UTF-7 decoder bug (caused Greek GMail to fail, for example)
- Fixed a crash when parsing a server-side modified folder structure
- Fixed a scroll-to-top issue when progressively adding list entries while scrolling
- Fixed a crash in session shutdown/resource tracking

MorphOS: WebRadio.sbar 1.5
WebRadio.sbar is another screenbar for MorphOS written by Thomas Igracki. The program is based on Grzegorz Kraszewski's CgmRadio 2.0 and can play Internet radio station streams. But it is required that the station uses the ShoutCast protocol of the MPEG audio format (usually MP3, MPEG-1 Layer III) - streams of other formats like Ogg Vorbis, WMA or AAC+ cannot be decoded.

amiga-news.de is looking for a (server administrator and) a PHP developer
After more than 20 years, amiga-news.de's PHP developer and server administrator will be leaving the team in late summer (amiga-news.de reported). For the system administration we have received some applications but we are still looking for a PHP developer.
This PHP developer should know PHP 7.3+ without ORM and Framework, SQL for MariaDB, Composer, Phing, PHPUnit and Behat. PHP development needs to be taken over in late summer. Like all other positions in the amiga-news.de team, the job is unpaid voluntary work.

Interview: Mark Ritter (Workbench Explorer)
Under the title link the US-American online merchant Amiga On The Lake has published an interview with Mark Ritter who is the author of the AmigaOS-4 file browser Workbench Explorer and of the InfoData.gadget class which is part of the Enhancer software.
In the interview the developer has announced an text editor for programmers called struct which will be not an entire IDE but "fast and sleek".
Furthermore he complained about "the lack of development from Hyperion". He wrote: "I submitted a bug report for the listbrowser.gadget class over two years ago. It was fixed right away. But it still has not been released to the public. It makes WEx look bad, but I can't do anything about it. Driving me nuts. Release it!"
