GUI-development: MUI Royale 1.1 for Hollywood (Update)
Press release: Airsoft Softwair is proud to announce the immediate availability of MUI Royale 1.1. This update contains some minor fixes and new features..

MUI Royale is a plugin for Hollywood 5 (screenshots: 1, 2, 3) that finally allows you to easily create MUI GUIs with Hollywood. MUI Royale supports over 40 MUI classes including popular third-party classes like TextEditor.mcc and TheBar.mcc.

Creating and managing menustrips is also fully supported. The plugin sets new standards concerning the ease of use because the GUI layout can be conveniently defined using an XML file that is converted into a MUI GUI by MUI Royale on the fly. GUI design has never been so easy! Of course, new features of MUI 4.0 are also supported.

The highlight of MUI Royale, however, is certainly its inbuilt Hollywood MUI class. This class allows dynamic embedding of complete Hollywood displays into MUI GUIs which can be used to combine the best of both worlds - MUI's proven GUI skills and Hollywood's unequalled multimedia capabilities - into one powerful application, limited by the scope of your creativity only.

MUI Royale requires at least Hollywood 5.2 and is provided free of charge for all users of Hollywood. It is available for AmigaOS 3 (m68k), AmigaOS 4 (PPC), MorphOS (PPC), and AROS (i386).

The package comes with almost 20 example scripts, many of which are direct ports from the MUI 3.8 SDK by Stefan Stuntz, but there are also original developments like demonstrations of how to create a video player using the combined power of Hollywood and MUI. On top of that MUI Royale comes with extensive documentation as a 280 page PDF file which is also available in the HTML, AmigaGuide, and CHM formats thanks to the Hollywood documentation system.

All this makes MUI Royale the truly royal MUI experience, carefully crafted for you Kings and Queens of MUI!

Update: (18:14, 09.05.14, snx)

Changes in version 1.1:
  • Change: Updated documentation
  • New: VideoPlayer example allows you to switch between antialias interpolation and simple scaling
  • Fix: Fixed a bug in the Slider.Stringify; it didn't block Hollywood's refresh server which could lead to a deadlock, for example in the VideoPlayer.hws example; this fix requires a Hollywood version newer than 5.3
  • New: Added Texteditor.GetText method; this allows you to get the partial contents from a text editor gadget (requested by Richard Lake)
  • New: Window.PubScreen allows you to open windows on all public screens; use this only if you have good reasons because normally this is something that the user should decide (requested by Richard Lake)
  • Fix: Window.Borderless didn't work because MUI Royale enforced a window title (reported by Jörg Renkert)
  • New: Popfile, Popdrawer, Popfont, and Poplist classes support the AdvanceOnCR attribute now for their string gadgets (requested by Richard Lake)
  • New: Window.ActiveObject can also be used as a notification attribute now (requested by Richard Lake)
  • Fix: Application.AboutMUIRoyale() didn't work when MUIRoyale.hwp was in a folder that contained spaces (reported by Achim Kern)
  • New: All of the Column class attributes have an applicability of ISG now which means that you can also change them during runtime
  • New: Added Listviewcolumn.Hidden attribute which can be used to show/hide single columns; this requires at least MUI 3.9 (requested by Richard Lake)
  • New: Added Listview.Rename() method that allows you to rename entries in a listview row (requested by Richard Lake)
  • Fix: Listview.Sort() didn't work correctly; it now accepts an additional argument which tells according to which column the list view should be sorted (reported by Richard Lake)
  • New: Area.ContextMenu can be used with mui.Set() now to change the context menu of a MUI object; to remove the context menu from an object completely, pass the special constant "(none)" in mui.Set() (requested by Richard Lake)
  • New [OS4/MorphOS]: Listview.TitleClick allows you to get notified about clicks on the title bars of a listview (requested by Richard Lake)
  • Fix [AROS]: MUI Royale uses relative search paths now when looking for TextEditor.mcc and TheBar.mcc custom classes (reported by Nigel Tromans)
  • Fix: Area.ContextMenuTrigger didn't set the TriggerValue correctly (reported by Richard Lake)
  • Fix: When using Listview.GetEntry together with "Active" on a Dirlist object in which no entry was active, MUI Royale crashed (reported by Richard Lake)
  • New [OS4]: Pixel-exact virtgroup resizing now possible because it is now supported by OS4's MUI now, too
  • Fix: "Selected" attribute in button class did not work when used with "True" or "False" (reported by Matthias Rustler)
  • Fix: Installer didn't work with paths that had spaces in them (reported by Richard Lake)

Emulator: WinUAE 2.8.0
Version 2.8.0 of the famous Amiga emulator WinUAE has been published. According to the developers, standard Amiga 500 compatibility is now practically as good as it can get without knowledge of blitter's undocumented internal logic design. (This drawback affects mainly some demos that accidentally modify blitter registers while blitter is already active.)

New features:
  • Full A4000T and A4091 NCR53C710 SCSI emulation
  • A590/A2091 and A4091 boot ROM GUI selection
  • Separate graphics filter settings for native and RTG modes
  • 256k ROM image inserted in floppy drive emulates A1000 KICK disk
  • Super Card Pro image file support (.scp)
  • SLIRP network inbound port support (default: 21, 22, 23 and 80, others can be added by editing configuration file)
  • Input panel previously toggle-only events can be optionally set to on and off state, audio/video recording input event added
  • Joystick/joypad can be used to control light pen cursor
Updates:
  • Remaining 68000 cycle-exact mode timing fixes
  • 68000 reading from write-only or non-existing custom register compatibility improved
  • Big chipset edge case compatibility update, for example demos with vertical \"copper\" bars work perfectly, real hardware glitches in horizontal scaling are now accurately emulated and much more
  • 68040/68060 without emulating unimplemented FPU instructions is now fully compatible with Motorola FPU emulation library, FSAVE special FPU exception stack frames implemented
  • Programmed modes (Super72 etc.) now automatically select best fit horizontal resolution and is more compatible with different filter modes, also display positioning is improved
  • Recently dumped Arcadia arcade system ROM images supported
  • Debugger full FPU and 68020+ bitfield, and other previously missing 68020+ only instructions supported in disassembler
  • Magic mouse + mousehack mode now always stops keyboard input when mouse is outside of emulation window, even if window still has focus

Amiga 1200: "Magic Pack"-packing for printing
Two Amiga fans have photographed the packing of the "A1200 Magic Pack" sold by Amiga Technologies and restored it with a picture editing program:



The picture is available in BMP-format and has a solution of about 5000x4000 pixels. It is meant for owners of an A1200 whose original packing is damaged or lost.

Only modification compared with the original: In the white rectangles to the left and right of packing, usually barcodes can be found - "Prowler" and "DH" did perpetuate their names with a QR-code and a short text. This signature must not be changed if the graphic is used.

20th anniversary of Commodore bankruptcy
On 29th April, 1994 Commodore, which was a few years ago second biggest computer company behind IBM, had to declare bankruptcy. With a brief press release the parent company Commodore International Limited, meanwhile based on the Bahamas, did announce the end of a big homecomputer pioneer.

Hardware developer Dave Haynie documented the last days in the Commodore headquarter in West Chester (USA) in his video "The Deathbed Vigil and other Tales of Digital Angst" (twelve minute trailer), which is sold by Amazon or which is available as part of Amiga Forever. There is a two-part (1, 2) gallery tour through the German branch, which was filmed some years ago and can be found on Youtube as well.

In the German section of amiga-news.de, during the next days a collection of texts of the former Commodore and Amiga Technologies employee report of Rainer Benda will be published again. There is a similar but English-language report of the US-American Vernon Graner.

20 years ago, the following press release announced the end of Commodore:

COMMODORE INTERNATIONAL LIMITED TO LIQUIDATE

NEW YORK, April 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Commodore International Limited (NYSE:
CBU) announced today that its Board Of Directors has authorized the
transfer of its assets to trustees for the benefit of its creditors and
has placed its major subsidiary, Commodore Electronics Limited, into
voluntary liquidation. This is the initial phase of an orderly liquidation
of both companies, which are incorporated in the Bahamas, by the Bahamas
Supreme Court.

CONTACT:  Hock Tan, CFO of Commodore International Limited, 215-431-9160/

MorphOS: IceFileSystem 2.12 and IceDoctor 1.6
IceFS is a 64-Bit file system for MorphOS, which among others works with checksums for all meta data and meta-level-journalling and which supports almost any sector size. With the additional programm IceDoctor, damaged IceFS file systems can be repaired or files rescued.

Changes in IceDoctor 1.6:
  • Graphical bug in counter of log output fixed
  • Some smaller checks/fixes added
  • Erroneous characters in filenames are fixed automatically now (everything below ASCII 32 as well as ":" and "/" will be replaced with "."; IceFileSystem already rejects creating filenames with those characters by the way)
  • Icedoctor.library bumbed to 1.7
  • Selective salvage ("Browse volume...") now displays expected space required for salvaged files as well as space left in destination directory

Elbox: Mediator1200/4000 and FastATA 4000 available again, driver updates
According to Elbox, about at the end of May the PCI-busboards Mediator 1200TX and 4000Di as well as the IDE-controller FastATA 4000 (inclusive CF-/SATA-adapter) will be available. The announced Turboflyer 530 will be available at the end of June 2014.

Besides, there is an update of the pci.library, which allows Radeon graphic boards with 2x128 MB RAM to use additional Zorro III-boards. Another update was released for the FastATA 1200 driver. CF-cards, which are used in the NO_INT-mode, now are much faster. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Arcade game: Timebomb (Final Release)
In Timebomb you have to collect as many bombs as possible before the time runs out. Each field can only be used one time before it vanishes but the player can move a row to the left or to the right.



This update is called "Final Release" because it fixes all known and reported bugs. Additionally, a brief tutorial was added into the game.

Timebomb requires an Amiga with 512 KB vitual memory. Computer with at least one Megabyte virtual memory can show and play additional graphics and sound effects. The game can also be played from harddrive which requires an assign timebomb:.

New photographs of AGA-Flickerfixer ScanJuggler XAGA
In Hungary, for some time a Flickerfixer for AGA-Amigas has been developed. Now some new photopgraphs of the hardware have been published. Additionally there are some new information. The photograph with the "Twisted Pair"-cable with RJ45-plugs were chosen to avoid signal noise. Despite the rather big sockets, according to the developer the Scanjuggler fits in an Amiga 1200-case. Is is also supposed to be used together with a Mediator-busboard inclusive keyboard adapter. The version for the A4000 can be used together with Zorro-boards.

Normally - mere digital or analog video output - only two of the three cables (analog video output, digital video output, DDC/Power) are required. And if you do not want to have a RJ45-plug, then you can order a version with ribbon cable - the RJ45-modules are only pinned into the Flickerfixer.

Additional to the DVI-output, further modules are planned, e.g. VGA and HDMI. The board for HDMI module would require to remove existing RF-modulators.

Recently the developer was having problems with the used video-clock-generator. In new prototypes (which are not pictured so far) the chip was put on a separate module to stop being depending on a certain model. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Old Amiga graphic works by Andy Warhol
In 1985 the Pop Art legend Andy Warhol was engaged by Commodore to create a picture of the singer Debbie Harry live on stage with the Amiga (YouTube video). A while back a computer enthusiast and fan of the artist thought that Warhol might have used the Amiga before or after this presentation as well.

Due to his request at the Andy Warhol Museum, which has the Warhol Amigas, the disks were searched for further artworks of the artist and so far in total 28 unknown computer graphic works were found. Apparently the pictures are digital versions of well-known Warhol artworks which were reworked or alienated.

Some pictures have been already published on the Internet. The whole process was recorded and the documentation "Trapped" will be available at nowseethis.org after May 12th. (cg) (Translation: dr)

MorphOS: Beta test for AirPort-Extreme driver
Frank 'pega-1' Mariak has written a MorphOS driver for Apple-computers with integrated WLAN-support (screenshot from April 1st), which will be released together with MorphOS 3.6. If you are interested in a beta test, you offer your help.

The Broadcom-based WLAN-chipsets are supported by "AirPort Extreme" and "AirForce One 54g" (they are shown under ShowConfig with the manufacturer information $14E4 and the device numbers $4320 or $4318). According to Andreas Wolf, it is the following Apple-computers, which work under MorphOS:
  • eMac: all
  • iBook G4: all
  • PowerBook G4 Aluminium: all
  • Mac mini G4: all
  • PowerMac G4: FW800
  • PowerMac G5: all
As a kind of Easter gift and as tribute to the registration without working, integrated WLAN-solution, registered users with a compatible chipset can apply for the beta test of this b43-driver. Please use the following eMail address: b43beta@morphos-team.net.

Please note, that it is a softwase to be tested and that the group of participants is limited - so it may happen that your application will be rejected. But by using MorphOS 3.6, you will get the finished driver. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Game: Marco Gregorio's Adventures to Unusual Places
The Backbone-game "Marco Gregorio's Adventures to Unusual Places" has five levels and was tested on an Amiga 1200 (68030/50 MHz).

Few tips and quirks:
  1. Because there is a small problem with Backbone when you die over "Danger Area" like water, you will respawn to the beginning of a level and restart. So, you need to finish the level w/o dieing
  2. I limited fire/throw axe speed, so it's harder to kill enemies, you can't just blast through enemies
  3. You need to collect all items before advancing to the next level
  4. In the Mayan level not all gates open
  5. I used the same fire button to Throw and Open Doors, I found out that assigning keyboard press to open the Door was disrupting the flow of the game. So, you can't shoot next to the door, you need to move away some before shooting

Text viewer: EvenMore 0.80
EvenMore is a text viewer written by Chris Perver with ECX in Amiga E. Changes in version 0.80:
  • Optimized RTF2Text plugin a little. Fixed bug where a line break instead of a space between a command and ordinary text would cause the plugin to skip a word. Also patched a bug in the RTF code generated by LibreOffice on Linux. LibreOffice stores pen 1 as 0, but other pen numbers start at 2.
  • HTML2Text plugin will now display preformatted text as the system default font.
  • A bug in the highlighting caused the system default and screen fonts over several lines to be rendered in all the same font.
  • Fixed bug. Shadow text and strikethrough styles would not carry over to the next line.
  • Created basic PageStream2Text plugin. Still to implement all of the text styles and colours that it offers.
  • Created outline text style. ESC[52m turns on outline text, and ESC[53m turns it off again. For use in the new PageStream plugin.

Workbench enhancement: BetterWB 3.6
Similar to AIAB, AmiKit or AmigaSYS, BetterWB is a collection of Workbench enhancements for AmigaOS 3.1, which are useful but rather simple and therefore require low hardware configuration. Changes in version 3.6:
  • Full 68040, 68060 and ACA accelerators autodetection and driver support with the new HardWiz
  • Rebooter is a new very handy application for restricted memory systems
  • EnvHandler will save quite a lot of ram by optimising envarc (Thanks PeterK)
  • Easily customize and lock palettes with FullPalette
  • Updated icon.library to version 46.4.339 which is faster and less memory hungry
  • Updated PFS3 aio to latest build (19-march-2014)
  • Updated DMS to version 1.53
  • Added a small text with a couple of tips after switching to GlowIcons
  • Gzip is back. It is required for ADZ support in TSGUI (Thanks Jost)
  • Added missing deficons (tool & project)
  • Changed default position of the global trashcan whenever it is activated, so it doesnt get in the way
  • For the love of the boing ball: replaced workbench´s glowicon to suit Jarek´s taste ;)
  • Replaced the standard trashcan icon with one that looks more elegant
  • BetterWB has now its own envarc drawer with wich you can easily check wether BetterWB is installed, which version is it, and the extensions it has enabled (FullPalette, GlowIcons, Rebooter)
  • Plus a few more minor fixes and tweaks

If music is made with Amiga, often this is Synth-Popper like Blue Metal Rose or Techno - but the French-British combo PAULA POWERED plays Punk Rock. The self-described trio ("singing, guitar, A1200") calls its Low-Fi sound as "Digital Punk" (Youtube video). The tracker Octamed is used on the Amiga. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AROS: AEROS 7 Plus available for free for one day
As part of the test run of his app store (amiga-news.de reported), today Pascal Papara offers his Linux-hosted AROS-distribution AEROS 7 for the Raspberry Pi in the plus-version for free (installation guide). This version includes the lx-command, with which it is possible to launch Linux programms from the AROS-Workbench "Wanderer".

So far the App-Store can only accessed with a text-based client, which requires a registration available under the title link (at the very bottom of the page: "Enter the Matrix"). After donwloading the client, you have to control the menu by entering short commands. Once you have logged in and "purchased" the AEROS Plus (article number 58) for zero Indiecoins, you can download the distribution. From tomorrow on the distribution will cost 700 Indiecoins.

MorphOS: Odyssey Web Browser 1.24
Fabien 'Fab' Coeurjoly has released another update of the WebKit-engine based web browser Odyssey for MorphOS.

Changes:
  • Updated to WebKit r161078 (January 2014)
  • Updated to OpenSSL 1.0.1g (which improves the SSL test at howsmyssl.com)
  • Compiled with GCC 4.7.3, since WebKit now relies strongly on C++11 features
  • Fixed an issue with large file support in CURL (fixes mail.one settings validation, for instance)
  • Enabled WebP support again, it seems it had been disabled at some point
  • Enabled RequestAnimationFrame HTML5 feature
  • Added support for HTML5 "download" link attribute
  • Convert suggested download filenames to local charset
  • Adjusted Expect: 100 header handling (fixes easy-jet flight selection, for instance)
  • Fixed CSS animation support (i.e. morphos.net flying powerbook)

MorphOS: Spreedy 0.7
"Spreedy" written by Carsten Siegner is a spreedsheet editor which is a simple but more powerful version of the editor included in the text processing software Scriba. The main focus is on the compatibility with programms like Excel and OpenOffice, which can also open Spreedy-files.

Version 0.7 now can automatizes some processes in spreadsheets, e.g. "conditional format" of cells, which makes it possible to assign predeterminated formats to numbers or characters. Furthermore the function "=TEXT()" allows to automatically create calendars.

Loading and editing Excel documents now works without any faults and no longer cause crashes. Carsten Siegner also started to add other languages to the programm.
