MorphOS: Vector graphic editor MagicalInk (Update)
With MagicalInk wriiten by Carsten Siegner you can open and edit Word95-, OpenOfficeDraw- and SVG-files (Youtube-video). It also includes a graphical user-interface.

This is the first public release and therefore the archive does not include a manual and translations. MagicalInk requires MorphOS 2.5 and the font collection of the browser OWB. If OWB has not already installed you can install the required fonts with the batch-script "Download Fonts".

Launching MagicalInk for the first time can take about two minutes to create a font cache.

Download: magicalink.lha (2,1 MB)

Update: (02.09.2010, 21:00, cg)

Carsten Siegner has published some tutorial videos which explain the usage of the program: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. The author pointed out that he could not turn off the autofocus of his camera. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOne X1000: Beta tester documents on Internet
The documents which get users of A-EONs beta-program are available on Internet. We have collected the most important information. But be aware: No liability assumed!
  1. The beta tester immediately has to pay 750 Euro. The beta hardware (only motherboard and memory - tower, mouse or keyboard are not included) will probably be sent at the end of this year and will cost "approximately" 1400 Euro (plus taxes and shipping).
  2. Although the document is only called "Confidentiality and Betatesting Agreement" the main part of it is about the handing over of the X1000 and the coresponding payments..
  3. A-EON offers a "limited warranty": If there will be bugs which interferes a great deal the functions of the motherboard and which cannot be fixed with the help of software the beta tester can send back the hardware to the producer. A-EON then will decide if the motherboard will be reworked or the beta tester will get 90% of the purchase price.
  4. The contract does not include any provisions what will happen with the payments in advance if there are any problems.

In our opinion this document is a contract of sale. (cg) (Translation: dr)

As usual the developers of the well-known Amiga-emulator WinUAE has given a short preview to the next forthcoming version. WinUAE 2.3.0 is supposed to be published in September:

  • F17 Challenge and Last Ninja crash if booted before CD32 boot screen appears..
  • Right and bottom border, if outside of display area, is blanked instead of filling with current border color.
  • Full "Portable"/USB key mode (-portable command line parameter) and relative path support.

  • Direct3D bezel overlays and "old" overlays separated, bezel overlays are in overlays-directory, old overlays should be renamed as masks.

  • CD32 CD audio status update when attempting to play data tracks (Mission Impossible 2025)
  • CD32 pad 2-button mode fixes (F17 Challenge, Quik The Thunder Rabbit, ATR)
  • Audio length detection error if MP3 audio tracks had checksummed frames.
  • Built-in image mounter CD audio timecode offset fixed.
  • Z3/RTG RAM leak when restarting.
  • Direct3D scanlines can be (finally) enabled on the fly.
  • Configuration file cdimage0=:\ at startup didn't work.

  • Dynamic hardfile data corruption if physical file size grew over 4G.
  • Some demos had blank display (broke in 2.0 Denise updates).
  • Transparent clipboard crash if Windows-side image was not 8 or 32-bit.
  • Initial ROM scan didn't detect Amiga Forever rom keys correctly.
  • Joystick axis bogus autofire in some situations when remapping joysticks.
  • RawInput was not enabled if only one (physical or logical) keyboard was detected.
  • RTG mouse cursor problem in D3D mode with enabled filter.
  • RTG 8-bit fullscreen mode color error in some situations.

MorphOS: Web-Browser OWB 1.9
Fabien "Fab" Coeurjoly has published a new update of the Origyn Web Browser for MorphOS. As usual there are two different versions: OWB-nosvg does not include the support of the SVG-format and therefore requires less memory.

Version 1.9 includes several minor changes and improvements. You can find a detailed list in the Readme. According to the author since May the original OWB has been not developed further. Therefore the MorphOS-version of the browser is now based on the free layout engine Webkit. (cg) (Translation: dr)
