MemOptimizer 3.056
MemOptimizer by Roland Heyder defragments the system memory. Changes since the last version:
- smaller optimisations in the AvailMem() patch that now also correctly supports MEMF_LARGEST for the FreeStack though this has to be seen more theoretically as the biggest block already has to be smaller than 4096 bytes to even have a chance to find a bigger block on the stack. In most cases won't the system run with such a lack of memory :-)
- arithmetic overflow removed in StackUsage()
- MEMF_REVERSE usage adjusted, could be refused even if the calling task was allowed when the memory was taken from the FreeStack (makes no sense here as the blocks on the stack aren't in order). From now on will all allowed REVERSE demands directly forwarded the the system's FreeList to secure that these will really come from the high end of the memory list.
- critical situation in ClearStack() corrected, a pointer was still used after the memory it pointed to was already deallocated
- As several people told me does MemOptimizer run without problems under MorphOS, of course only in the UNPATCHed mode as it wouldn't be a good idea to replace the native PPC code of MorphOS by 68k functions.

AROS: MUIbase ported
MUIbase is a relational, programmable data base for AmigaOS ported by Steffen Gutmann for AROS/i386. The necessary changes were entered into the SVN archive of the MUIbase project on Sourceforge so that an adaption for AROS/PPC can be done as well.
Please have in mind that an up-to-date version of AROS is needed as in the course of the porting several bugs in AROS had to be fixed. Besides that you have to create an assign muibase: otherwise it could lead to crashes of some demo sata bases. Should it happen that the focus gets lost and no new data records can be entered you have to press the Tab key.

File System: SFS 1.275
The latest version of the alternative file system SFS now supports files larger than four GB under AmigaOS 3 as well. The changes in detail:
- Replaced mutexes by semaphores again
- Built for AmigaOS 3.x/m68k incl. 'SFS/2' support.
To use 'SFS/2' partitions on AmigaOS 3.x you have to install SmartFileSystem into the RDB with DOSType 'SFS/2' (0x53465302), i.e. to use both 'SFS\0' and 'SFS\2' partitions you have to install the same SmartFileSystem binary 2 times into the RDB.
If booting from 'SFS\2' partitions isn't required you can load SmartFileSystem as kickstart module using tools like LoadResident, LoadModule, etc. instead of storing it twice in the RDB.
SFS 1.275 is available for AmigaOS 3/4. (cg) (Translation: tz)

AmigaOS 4: Package management system AmiUpdate 1.75
AmiUpdate is a simple package management system similar to RPM or dpkg which are known from the Linux world. In contrast to its prototypes AmiUpdate can not handle references. Required components are not automatically installed for a certain package.
On behalf of the users AmiUpdate searches for newer versions of the installed applications (list of supported packages), downloads and automatically installs them (if this option is supported by the package).
AmiUpdate has been available for years but so far was only used by AmigaOS beta testers to keep their beta systems up to date. (cg) (Translation: dr)

MUI-class: MCC_BetterString 11.12
Jens Langner has published new versions of the following MUI-classes for AmigaOS 3.x, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS: BetterString.mcc and BetterString.mcp in version 11.12 as well as HotKeyString.mcc in version 12.8.
Changes:
- mcc/hotkeystring: adapted documentation and minor tweaks to the sources of HotkeyString.mcc
- mcc/BetterString_mcc.h: converted all MUIV_BetterString_DoAction_#? values to a named enum rather than simple defines
- mcc: added new MUIM_BetterString_DoAction method which allows to manually perform certain actions like Copy/Cut/Paste,... which are normally just executed with the default shortcuts. This way the gadget can completly controlled remotely
- mcc: added new MUIA_BetterString_NoShortcuts attribute that allows to disable the default shortcuts like Amiga+C, Amiga+V, etc. for applications interested in performing those operations manually
- include/mccinit.c: updated to latest 1.10 version

Chiptune-Tracker: Hively-Tracker 1.4 for AmigaOS 3/4 and AROS
HivelyTracker is a tracker based on the AHX-format (screenshot). AHX was developed in the nineties to write songs which have the typical chip-sound of the SID (sound-chip of C64). Changes since version 1.3:
- Playback no longer stops when the "Load Mod" filerequester is open
- Undo & Redo for almost all edit operations
- Cutting an area in the position editor cleared both columns of
the left & right edges even if they weren't selected. Fixed.
- Cutting or pasting in the position editor didn't update the
track editor even if the current tracks were changed by the
operation. Fixed.
- If you change preference options that require the GUI to be closed
and re-opened, it now does that instead of requiring you to quit
and restart.
- Skin directory, initial song directory and initial instrument
directory options all now can be selected via ASL directory requester.
- Right-clicking on a channel mute button now mutes all other channels
except that channel. If it is already the only un-muted channel,
all channels will be unmuted instead (suggested by Syphus).
- Added "9xx" panning command to the instrument performancelist. It
only changes the panning position for that specific instrument. The
next time an instrument is played in that channel, it returns to
the last panning position set with the traditional "7xx" track
command.
- Pasting or marking blocks in the position editor didn't work
correctly if channel 1 wasn't the leftmost channel. Fixed.
- Pressing Ctrl+B while marking a block now cancels block marking
instead of resetting the mark position.
- Added a drumpad mode, selectable either by the funky new on/off
gadget or via the backslash key. When enabled, selecting instruments
via numeric keyboard causes them to be played, and if edit mode is
set, the instrument is inserted into the song. Suggested by Syphus.
- Changed the release cut gadget from a 0/1 number gadget to the funk-
tastic new on/off gadget (W00T!!111)
- Fixed a bug in the command line replayer that was really dumb and
should have been spotted ages ago! Oops.
- Before, if a skin directory existed, and the logo bitmap existed
in that directory, but there was any other file missing, hively would
bomb out instead of reverting to the default skin and retrying. Now
if a skin fails to load for any reason, hively retries with the
default skin (SIDMonster-Light). This allows hively to load even
if ht.prefs contains an invalid skin (such as SIDMonster-Heavy,
which has been discontinued from 1.4 onwards).
- Fixed an incorrect pointer in the autogain routine

Ars Technica: A history of the Amiga, part 3
Under the title link Jeremy Reimer has continued his survey about the Amiga history with the first prototypes and the development of the operating system. The third part ends with the purchase by Commodore.
In his article serie the author wants to explain "what the Amiga was, what it meant to his developers and users and why it - despite of the early decline and its [from the current point of view] rather slight brand awareness - had so much influence on the computer industry".

AmigaOS 4: Classic-version with native Mediator-support
According to Hans-Jörg "Rogue" Frieden in a thread at amigans.net currently the kernel is adapted to the known PCI-busboards of the Mediator-serie.
In the past it was known that the original pci.library of the producer of Elbox also works under AmigaOS 4 but has some incompatibilities to the existing PCI-driver system of the new operating system. That means users had to use the drivers provided by Elbox.
If and how the DMA problem of the Mediator boards will be solved - the hardware does not support real DMA - is still not clear. Certain PCI-cards (e.g. tv-cards) require DMA.

MorphOS: Shuffle 1.10
An update for Shuffle is available to all customers. Shuffle is a MorphOS implementation of the famous Sliding Block Puzzle, often also known as 15 Puzzle and is making use of MorphOS core components like MUI or Reggae.
Besides some smaller cosmetical fixes the update offers localization for three new languages. Thanks to Krashan, Vinnny and Stevo you can play Shuffle now in Polish, Russian or Dutch. Translations for Italian and Hungarian are in work.
Shuffle will be available as part of MorphOS 2.0, but if you want to play it now already you can buy it for just 3 Euro. Please note that this early offer will end on 31th August 2007. After that date no more copies of Shuffle will be sold anymore and if you still want to play Shuffle then you must wait for the MorphOS 2.0 release (no matter how long this will take). (snx)

Retro-Gaming: WHDLoad 16.8
With WHDLoad is it possible to install games and scene demo's, which are only created to work on floppydisc systems, on a harddisc. Beside are several incompatibility problems with new Amiga systems will be fixed.
Changes of the lates version:
- fix: the requester displayed when audio.device is already used
defaults to 'ignore' now, so it works in combination with option NoReq/S
(Horace)
- fix: the online help displayed when WHDLoad is called from the CLI
without arguments has been fixed for the options Cache/S and DCache/S
(Hexaae)
- fix: CLI args fixed to fault on too many arguments (Psygore)
- chg: the install template supports installing from disk images via
diskimage.device, trackwarp.library and capsimage.device
- chg: kick31.s supports also the kickstart image from the A500/A600/A2000, with that it is possible to make Slaves using kick31
which are compatible to a 68000 CPU (Don Adan)
- new: WHDLoad itself disables the interrupts of Mediator boards now
while running the installed program, this should solve problems
like freezing and gfx/sound distortion on these boards, thanks
to John Girvin and Elbox for providing the solution
- chg: WHDLoad now avoids opening the WorkBench screen after exiting,
older versions have always opened the WB if no other screen was left open,
requires at least v39
- new: WHDLoad now shows the task name on exceptions if there was a
working amigaos running, it also shows segment name and offset if
SegTracker was running (inside emulation of course)
- new: option NoMemReverse/S added to the global configuration (Ralf
Stützer)
- new: catalan translation of documentation, thanks to Manel Beltran
- new: its now possible to use special rawkeys for the QuitKey/N option
to let WHDLoad quit from a button press on the mouse/joystick/joypad
- chg: some changes to the kickemu, check history therein

AmigaOS 4: Filesystem SFS 1.274
The newest version of the alternative filesystem, SFS, now supports files larger than 4 GB as well. The changes in detail:
- Replaced semaphores by mutexes if running on the July 2007 update of AmigaOS4 or newer
- Removed support for AmigaOS4 versions older than OS4 final
- Added a new format with large file support, to use it select DOSType 'SFS\2' (0x53465302) for the partitions. WARNING: It's not compatible to the older SFS2 versions, nor to standard SFS partitions (DOSType 'SFS\0', 0x53465300) and therefore tools like SFSCheck, PartitionWizard, etc. don't work on such partitions and you can't use such a partition for booting from U-Boot/SLB!

AmigaOS 4: test version of AmiTV
Ian Gledhill released a first test version AmiTV 0.03 for AmigaOS 4 just to find out whether his TV card support will work on other computers except his own at all.
Required is a Radeon graphics board with overlay support and a TV card with Conexant CX2388x chipset (e.g. Hauppauge WinTV HVR1600). Usable input format is just Composite Video right now.

MorphOS: Decoder for OnlineTVRecorder
Schlonz wrote: For OnlineTVRecorder which is a legal, free and mainly German Internet video recorder there is now an official decoder for MorphOS.
With OnlineTVRecorder you can record almost all German television programs. Up to 30 television broadcasts you can record simultaneously. You can record in the formats DivX, h.264-HQ-videos and iPod-video (and much more).
The service is used jut like a video recorder: Choose your broadcast, program, record and then download it. The file has the ending .otrkey. It can be not used until it is decoced.
This decoder now also exists for MorphOS as Shell-command which requires an installed ixemul-packet.
Thanks to Cyberwolf from OnlineTVRecorder for the port!
