Hyperion Entertainment: Update to AmigaOS 3.1.4 released
Press release: Brussels, July 8, 2019 - Hyperion Entertainment CVBA is pleased to announced the immediate availability of AmigaOS 3.1.4.1 as a free update to AmigaOS 3.1.4 released in September 2018.
Since then, some bugs were found and functionality reviewed. We are therefore providing updates that address those issues in order to improve the user experience and also added more workarounds to improve compatibility with some oddly behaving programs.
This is mainly a bugfix update to AmigaOS 3.1.4, however a few small features managed to slip-in:
- Danish (dansk) and swedish (svenska) AmigaOS catalogs
- Setpatch now has the ability to load both an audio.device and a Shell-Seg update by itself
- Audio.device got improved compatibility with some non-standard programming practices
- HDToolBox now suggests more adequate block sizes for large drives
- CrossDOS is now more tolerant to wrongly configured mountlists and foreign character sets
Of course, we managed to address many more bug fixes. The change log is more than 260K large and covers components such as the CDFileSystem, the new intution support, audio device, disk support (Format, FastFileSystem and HDToolBox), the Shell, several AmigaDOS commands, DiskDoctor, and many more components.
AmigaOS 3.1.4.1 is available as free download from the restricted download area to all registered customers of AmigaOS 3.1.4.
Hyperion Entertainment CVBA wants to send kudos to all involved persons for making this update happen. Thanks guys! (snx)

Hyperion Entertainment: capital increase
According to an update published in Belgium's official company publication, Hyperion issued a significant number of new shares. As detailed in a notary's statement dated June 20th, 2019, when approving the annual financial statement dated December 30th, 2018 and exonerating the directors afterwards, the shareholders decided to go for a capital increase in return for stock.
This capital increase consists of 398.970 Euro, of which 397.110 Euro are from Ben Hermans and 1.860 Euro from Timothy De Groote. In return, the two investors are granted 2135 (Hermans) and 10 (De Groote) newly issued Hyperion shares, which reduces the percental ownership of the other shareholders accordingly: Hyperion's capital stock was raised from 18.600 Euro to 417.570 Euro - previously all shareholders combined, including Ben Hermans and Timothy De Groote, owned 100 shares, now there are 2245 shares of which Ben Hermans owns at least 2135.

Javascript: TAWS - The Amiga Workbench Simulation 0.31
TAWS ("The Amiga Workbench Simulation") is a Javascript simulation of the Amiga-Workbench 1.0 - 4.1 for Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Apple-WebKit-Browser (including Odyssey).
Any kind of feedback the author Michael Rupp would very appreciate. His work can be supported by a donation from inside TAWS.
Changes of version 0.31:
-
Tribute to OS 3.1.4:
- new preset "OS 3.1.4"
- new iconset "3.1.4"
- neues pattern "AmigaOS 3.1.4"
- Workbench functionality like OS 3.5, f.e. keyboard control, live moving of window content using the scrollbars, closing all windows by clicking the close gadget while holding the right Amiga key (right Alt key in TAWS), etc.
- simulation of 3.1.4 specific details , f.e. although windows can be moved out of the screen, their width cannot be larger than the screen width.
- new kickstart image when cancelling the "TAWS Early Preset Selection"
- adjusted "Amiga Early Startup Control"
- adjusted "Boot With No Startup-Sequence"
- Complete swedish localization - many thanks to Kenneth Hansson
- MultiView: support for playling the following music module formats .mod (Sound-/Protracker), .xm (FastTracker II) and .s3m (ScreamTracker 3) thanks to the newly integrated JavaScript MOD player.
Many many thanks to Jani Halme for his brilliant webaudio player: https://mod.haxor.fi
It's even possible to play your local files, either by starting "MultiView" and selecting a file or by drag'n'dropping a file in an already opened MultiView window.
- MultiView: support for displaying TIFF files in the following browser that support this natively: Internet Explorer, MS Edge and Safari. Where available, an according icon has been added to the iconsets and there's a new test image located at "Test Suite:Image-Test/Marbles.tif".
- When decreasing the browser's window size it's now ensured that windows on the bottom and on the right side stay visible. They are now moved in a way that their title bars are visible in any case.
- Amiga Early Startup Control: simulation of the flickering when changing from PAL to NTSC and vice versa incl. divergent version for OS 3.1.4 and 3.9.
- Reworked the kickstart screen to be pixel exact.
- MagicMenuPrefs: added "Settings / Slider Color Model / RGB/FSH" in the menu.
- Bugfixes:
- "Clean up" of a window now works correctly, even if its content has been scrolled to the left or the top using the arrow gadgets.
- Fixed rounding differences when calculating the size of the scrollbar knobs. These showed when using the arrow gadgets to scroll.
- OS version <= 3.1: show message in screenbar if trying to rename a left out icon.
- OS version > 3.1: deactive menuitem "Rename" for left out icons.
- Fixed the shortcuts in the windows "Parse AmigaGuide" and "Set alarm" (bug since v0.30).
- Palette: fixed the shortcuts for "Red", "Green" and "Blue" after switching the color model from "HSB" and back to "RGB" (bug since v0.30).
- Palette: the color wheel is again anchored to the top (bug since v0.30).
- Prefs windows: on labels and button texts the browser's default pointer was shown instead of the Amiga pointer (bug since v0.30).
- MultiView: fixed minimal window size according to the current wndow layout.
- MultiView: loading a local file by running MultiView or using the its menuitem "Open" works again (bug since v0.30).
- MultiView: loading of files having an apostrophe in their filename works now.
- Parse Amiga Guide: button "Load local file..." works again (bug since v0.30).
- Miscellanious fixes in the translations of menuitems and deviations for OS 4.x.

This allows even non-programmers to convert their Hollywood applets into stand-alone iOS apps, which can then be made available to other users, for example by uploading them to Apple's App Store.
Here are some more features of Remedios:
- supports real iOS devices (arm, arm64)

AmigaOS 4: SketchBlock Pro 3.3
"SketchBlock is a powerful digital painting package for AmigaOS 4.1, offering smooth, responsive tools to create images in High Dynamic Range colour" developed by Andy Broad. Since version 3, SketchBlock has become a commercial software and can be purchased in the Amistore. For users of this version a free update is available.
Changes of version 3.3:
- Dynamic loading of brush data: The full set of brushes can use up to 100 MB of memory when loaded on startup, so now brushes are loaded on demand
- Add Erase filter: This allows eraseing selected areas of layers to the background colour/transparent; some standard menu items using this function
- Textures: Drawing operations can now be modified by a texture. Any layer can be used as a texture, but a custom list of dedicated texture layers is also maintained. Some example textures cane be loaded via the new textures menu. Currently only the paint tool supports the texture operation, and this can be enabled via two new switches at the bottom of it's settings.

AmigaOS 4: Enhancer Software 1.5
Press release: A-EON Technology is pleased to confirm immediate download available of the Enhancer Software 1.5. This is the sixth public release and can be downloaded for free using the Updater tool for existing Enhancer Software owners. All three variants of the Enhancer Software have been updated: Plus, Standard and Special Edition.
Many updates have been implemented in version 1.5, both major and minor bringing the package to higher standards. Warp3D Nova and OpenGLES 2 library have had major updates including significant work towards enabling the recent GL4ES wrapper and game ports to work. MultiViewer: If Warp3D Nova is available, it is now used for 2D image rendering and processing. This means that the old Picasso96 graphics system is no longer used by MultiViewer for rendering 2D images so the entire range of video memory on the graphics card can be used by MultiViewer.
What has changed in this release?:
- Commands
- SystemReboot v53.7 (updated)
- Devs
- HDAudio sound driver v6.23 (added)
- Datatypes

Emulator: FS-UAE 3.0
After providing several beta versions, now Frode Solheim has released a "stable" version of his Amiga emulator FS-UAE. Ports are available for Windows, Mac OS X and several Linux and BSD versions. On his website Frode Solheim wrote: "I've already started the work on next development series. The biggest change is updated emulation core from WinUAE 4.2.1, which brings with it new features. But I will be looking at other improvements as well. If the stable series is to boring for you, stay tuned for v3.1.0dev." Detailed changes of version 3.0:
Changes in FS-UAE 3.0 (compared to 2.8):
- Fixed JIT direct access on modern Linux distributions.
- FS-UAE default is now to show a 692×540 image, not stretched to fill screen.
- Built-in configurations for many more game controllers.
- New option whdload_quit_key to gracefully quit slaves.
- Added more shaders (compiled/ported/written by guest.r and rsn8887).
- Updated emulation core from WinUAE 3300b2.
- Several new configuration options (see Changelog for details).
- Many more smaller fixes and updates (see Changelog for details).
Changes in FS-UAE Launcher 3.0 (compared to 2.8):
- Plugins can provide files for offline use (WHDLoad, JST, SKick, etc).
- Added support for .gz/.adz/.roz/.xz-compressed files.
- Support WHDLoad versions 18.4 and 18.5 (game database).
- Revert fullscreen_mode to default when upgrading from older versions.
- Use https for all more fs-uae.net and openretro.org communication.
- Support hd_requirements = xpkmaster.library.
- Fixed problem on Windows where devices were sometimes not detected.
- Make configurations list wider when window width is quite large.
- Try to use config from game database when launching with a WHDLoad archive.
- Extract WHDLoad arguments from .info file when loading a WHDLoad archive.
- Sync “unpublished” games from the online game database, option to show.
- Many bugfixes and smaller improvements (see Changelog for details).

Emulator: WinFellow 0.5.8 RC1
Release candiate 0.5.8 of the Amiga emulator WinFellow has been released.
New features
- support for RDB hardfiles was implemented; while creating a new hardfile from the WinFellow GUI still creates "plain" hardfiles, a Rigid Disk Block can be created using tools like HD Toolbox
- the default naming scheme for filesystem devices has been changed from DHx: to FSx: to avoid naming conflicts with existing RDB hardfiles
- a 64 bit build is now provided; the NSIS installer will install either the 32 or 64 bit version depending on the operating system that is used
Bug fixes
- improved handling of hardware interrupts and blitter delays; fixes freezes that could occur during installation of Workbench in earlier 0.5.x versions
- fix wrong selection of render function after return from menu when application did not write to bplcon0 every frame; fixes garbled graphics in a Legend cracktro when returning from menu
- replaced alternating patterns for unmapped memory with proper random numbers
- CLR reads before write; fixes loading of Outrun and a fast-mem test in Last Ninja 2
- improve delay caused by logging in screen-mode enumeration (could amount to many seconds with multiple screens)
- running in an environment with very slow graphics framerate, like a VM, could cause a deadlock; set wait time after event reset to avoid race condition
- fix an issue where screenshots would occasionally not be taken in Direct3D graphics mode; this may also have impacted the ability to use Amiga Forever's clipping editor
- fix an issue where applying a new model preset would leave multiple blitter radio buttons selected

Hollywood: PDF-Plugin Polybios 1.1
Press release: Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to present a major update for one of the most popular plugins for Hollywood: Polybios. 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 1.1 is a major update which adds support for lots of functionality required by people who would like to write a PDF viewer with Polybios. It is now possible to get text, bookmarks, and links from PDF pages. It is also possible to search PDF pages for a given string and it is also possible to get the position of text inside PDF pages (needed for implementing highlighting). Finally, it's also possible to get metadata from PDF pages. On top of that, there are also some important bug fixes.
Polybios 1.1 is provided free of charge for all existing Hollywood users. Please consider buying Hollywood to show your support for our massive development efforts. The plugin is now available for download from the official Hollywood portal. 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.
WinUAE users please note that you need at least version 4.2.1 because previous versions have a bug in the emulation of Motorola's 68020 CPU which makes Polybios crash.

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. For maintaining and developing the server and our custom PHP applications, we are thus looking for a server administrator and a PHP developer. Like all other positions in the amiga-news.de team, both jobs are unpaid voluntary work.
Server administrator
The server administrator should have experience in setting up and maintaining Linux systems, in detecting potential attacks, creating and restoring backups, system optimisation and both bash and PHP scripting for automating various tasks.
Keywords describing the software we're running on a vServer located in Germany:
- Debian 9 (systemd)
- shell access (no Plesk or anything like that)
- Apache2, Lets Encrypt, mariadb, php-fpm, logrotate (privacy protection), cron
The server administrator can join the team right now or take over in late summer.
PHP developer
The PHP developer should be familiar with PHP 7.3+ without ORM or frameworks, SQL for MariaDB, Composer, Phing, PHPUnit and Behat.
PHP development needs to be taken over in late summer.

Bootdisk creator: A911USBCopy 1.4 for the Amiga911 Maker
Using the Amiga911 Maker you can create bootdisks under AmigaOS 3.0/3.1 which can contain a lot of tools thanks to LZX or XPK. The Amiga which is to boot should be equipped with at least 1 MB Fast-RAM, recommended are 2 MB.
Since some of the files included in the archive of ANAIIS 1.18 do not have the rwed protection bits, some problems occured if this USB-stack should be added to the bootdisk. Version 1.4 of A911USBCopy fixed this issue.

Audio player: AmigaAMP 3.24
Thomas Wenzel wrote: This revision has undergone major internal restructuring to make maintenance easier. I've fixed a lot of small old bugs along the way but I can't guarantee that I haven't introduced new ones. However, extensive beta testing has been done to verify the integrity and stability of this new release.
The 68k version now inofficially supports OS3.1. If you don't have ClassAct installed you can only use it in skinned mode without the file info window. The preferences tool won't work either. Installing ClassAct v3.3 will enable both the 'ReAction' functionality of AmigaAMP itself as well as the preferences tool. Some GUI elements don't work yet in this configuration. I will fix that in a later release.
Have fun!
Most important changes:
- Completely reworked shoutcast streaming code
- Fixed handling of empty ID3v2 comment fields
- Fixed drawing of skinned equalizer "AUTO" gadget. But it doesn't do anything. :-)
- Localized some more strings
- Fixed older OS4 version compatibility
- Fixed buffer overflow in MPEG reading routine
- Fixed redrawing current time display when changing skins
- Fixed background fill in playlist time display for spaces
- Refined ID3v2 tag reading and added ID3v2.2 support
- Fixed updating changed config file
- Changed layout of info window, added more fields
- ESC key now also closes the info and the prefs window

FPGA-Amiga clone: MiSTer
It is not a new development and so far on amiga-news.de the FPGA-Amiga clone MiSTer was only mentioned by the hint (German) to a corresponding report on Obligement. Consequently our reader 'Holla' has introduced the product of the Russian developer Sorgelig in the German comment area.
MiSTer is an adaption of MiST to a more powerful FPGA, equipped with a faster ARM processor and a HDMI port (scaling usually to 1280x720 pixels at 60 hertz; VGA and analog audio output available with a daughter board). MiSTer is based on the DE10-Nano board produced by Terasic.
Major improvements compared with the MiST board:
- Altera-Cyclone-V-SE-FPGA with 110.000 LE (41.500 ALM) and 5.570 KBit Block-RAM
- ARM-Cortex-A9-Dual-Core processor with 800 MHz
- HDMI video and audio port for connecting to modern monitors or television
- 1 GB DDR3 RAM, available for the ARM processor and the FPGA
- High-speed connection between process core and FPGA because both are in the same chip
- ARM-Linux supports many I/O devices and file systems
- Board is produced by a major producer in series and is available for a fair price of 130 US-Dollar (110 for students/professors)
By using a more powerful FPGA, more powerful systems can be created. It is also possible to add more support of ARM. The firmware is not limited by the available RAM or the code size. It is even possible to emulate some parts of the system with ARM side which is not available in the FPGA (a so called hybrid emulator).
MiSTer can extend the DE10-Nano board by several optional daughter boards. Circuit diagrams and Gerber files are available for download:
- SDRAM board: Already with this additional board almost all cores can be used. The small board is plugged into the GPIO-0 port of the DE10-Nano board. Although the DE10-Nano has a fast DDR3-RAM, it cannot be used for the emulation of a retro EDO-RAM due to its high latency and the shared usage together with the ARM side.
- I/O board: This board is plugged into the GPIO-1 port of the DE10-Nano. It provides a VGA port, analog audio output (3,5-mm jack plug), digital optical audio output, keys and LEDs. This board is recommended if VGA is more used (instead of HDMI) or the MiSTer is supposed to be installed in a case. It is also useful for developing the cores since compiling is faster for VGA (HDMI scaler code takes about twice the time for compiling).
- RTC board: This board is plugged into the LTC port and provides a realtime clock. The clock can be also synchronized via Internet, without this expansion.
- USB-Hub board: This board adds a 7-port USB-hub which is placed under the mainboard.
Additional to more than 20 systems (see Obligement article), MiSTer emulates all classic Amiga systems except the CD³² based on a 68000, 68010 or 68020 processor with 88 MHz. Kickstart 1.2 to 3.1 are supported, the OCS, ECS and AGA chipset with PAL and NTSC output as well as diverse memory configurations with 512 KB chip-RAM to 24 MB Fast-RAM. Aditional to virtual disk drives and harddrives e.g. also scanlines can be simulated and Amiga mice and joysticks used like common USB input devices.

USB adapter for input devices: Tom and Tom+
On ebay the British shop electronika4you-uk offers adapters which can connect USB input devices (mouse, joystick or keyboard) to the joystick port of a Commodore or Atari computer. It is not required any additional drivers on PC.
The adapter can emulate all seven buttons of the CD32 joypad. Up to ten buttons or keys of a connected USB device can be configured to your needs - e.g. with a auto-fire function for button 1 or 2 of an Atari joystick. Several USB devices can be simultaneously connected in order to switch between mouse and joystick without removing the devices.
Two different versions of the adapter are offered: Tom occupies one joystick port and provides one USB port, while Tom+ additionally loops through the original joystick port and thus makes it possible to use the Atari joystick and an USB mouse simultaneously.
In our German comment area an user has shared his experiences with these adapters.

Web browser: NetSurf 3.9dev (SDL version)
Artur Jarosik has released an update of his Amiga port of the web browser NetSurf. His port uses - in contrary to Chris Young's native, Reaction-based version - SDL. Only the preferences pane is MUI-based.
Confirmed by tests of our editor Daniel Reimann, the update fixes problems with the mouse pointer and also the graphical user-interface works without any problems. Our readers may test if under Amithlon now https websites again can be accessed. Using an Amiga 1200 with Blizzard 1230 and AmigaOS 3.9 our amiga-news website could be accessed easily. Detailed changes:
- Updated to newest sources
- New EaglePlayer.rexx script - improved mod playback from modules.pl
and modarchive.org
- Fixed mp4 and mpeg conversion playback from youtube
- Updated https certificates file ca-bundle
- Updated default.css
- Allow one more char in Hotlinks
- Fixed double pointer on scroll buttons
- Corrected url position on resize
- Works on 030 again
