Ars Technica: A history of the Amiga, part 2
Under the title link Jeremy Reimer continues talking about the Amiga history with the crisis of the video games as well as the conception of the screens and the HAM-modus. The article is illustrated with the Amiga-joyboard.

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". (snx) (Translation: dr)

USB Stack: Poseidon 3.8
The USB stack Poseidon is now available for AmigaOS 3.x in version 3.8. In addition to bugfixes in ethernet classes as well as the mass storage support, the latter was improved further, too. Moreover, a largely enhanced Egalaxtouch class is provided in the update, which allows using touchscreens, including right mouse button emulation.

Please note that the author cannot issue registrations or give support due to "company holiday" from August 15 till 26.

As Chris Hodges informs, this probably concerns the last update to version 3.x for "classic" Amigas (and Amithlon). Users who want to purchase a license are asked to do this within the next months.

The update can be downloaded via the title link or the online update function in Trident. (snx) (Translation: cad)

MorphOS: lzmaLoader
After limited disk space had led to packers like PowerPacker, Imploder or StoneCracker in the past, which compressed executable files and unpacked and launched them automatically again, such a software was now made available for the first time for MorphOS programs, too, by Harry 'Piru' Sintonen, with the lzmaLoader.

Though disk space today is no longer as limited as in the floppy disk era, the author, by all means, still sees a possible use, for compressing 64k intros, for instance. As the name already suggests, his program uses the LZMA algorithm, known through 7-Zip.

Amiga-Meeting Nord: Call to developers
Sven Scheele writes: Preparations for the Amiga-Meeting Nord (Amiga Meeting North), which takes place in Bad Bramstedt from Oktober 12 - 14, are going strong. 24 registrations are already available, so a good half of the existing spots are already reserved.

Developers and dealers will be represented again this time, too, and will present their current products and projects. Among these are Guido Mersmann, Stefan Kleinheinrich and Sven Dröge as well as Alinea Computer and Axel Knabe Büro & Informationsservice so far.

Many more were contacted. But since we can't reach everyone, we ask all interested developers to get in touch with us via the meeting homepage. (snx) (Translation: cad)

Changes in the third beta include but are not limited to the following items:
  • Greatly enhanced stability
  • Reduced memory usage
  • Upgraded to a more recent browser engine version
  • Improved overall speed
  • Added context menus
  • Websites featuring dynamic content work much better now

Event: games consoles and home computers - a retrospective
Press release After a long planning stage it's finally done. This year, on August,17th & 18th, there'll be the first computers and consoles retro fair that takes place in Northern Germany: "Spielkonsolen und Heimcomputer: Eine Retro-Spektive!"

The fair "Spielkonsolen und Heimcomputer: Eine Retro-Spektive" lets you experience 30 years of games consoles and computers. Travel through time with this exhibition that is built up in chronological order. Beginning with Pong, the classic tennis, Space Invaders and arcades moving to the 8bit- and the 32bit era of the home computers and from there to current consoles of well-known producers.

Experience the development and history of today's top-selling industry in the retrospective fair and ptry your skills at the numerous ready-to-play devices.

Everything from Pong to X-Box is shown, from Atari to Sony. More than 30 years of computers and consoles history.

The event takes place in Schneiderkrug, in the heart of the Oldenburger Münsterland just next to the B69 / B72 and only some minutes away from the A1 (exit Cloppenburg).

The entrance is free, and to make it worth the journey it's the same weekend when Northern Germany's biggest annual fair takes place - comparable to the Münchner Oktoberfest or the Cannstatter Wasn -, the Stoppelmarkt in Vechta. (snx) (Translation: wk)

Amiga Inc.: "Amiga Inc. Washington still existing"
In the course of the judical arguement between Amiga Inc. and Hyperion it has been revealed that some trademarks have not been transferred officially to Amiga Inc. (Delaware, AID) yet (amiga-news.de reported). Also in this context activities by Amiga Inc. (Washington, AIW) were mentioned, even the company was closed on September the 30th, 2004.

Meanwhile AID has clarified (PDF, 69 KB) that according to US laws a company closed by authorirties keeps on existing for another five years to remove or fix the issues lead to closure and can be resurrected after fixation of theses issues. Alternatively that time may be used to maintain the liquidation of the company.

According the trademarks AID emphasizes (PDF 1, 651 KB; PDF 2, 443 KB), that their state is meanwhile set to "ready for release" and were now transferred to AID. [editors note: After ("Publication for Opposition") there is a 30 day time frame to appeal against the registration or to apply for a prolongation of the appealing time.]

The aforementioned information is available for everyone online via the Trademark Applications and Registrations Retrieval (TARR) of the United States Patent and Trademark Office, cmp. the Amiga entries 78940417, 78940426, 78940434, 78942544 and 78942551. The latest change was on July the 27th. (snx) (Translation: ub)

AmigaOS 4: bzip2 1.0.4 and AmiDVD 1.31
For AmigaOS 4, new versions of the file compression program bzip2 as well as the CD/DVD-burning program AmiDVD were released by Jörg Strohmayer.

bzip2 1.0.4

Different from the previous AmigaOS 4 ports of the compression program, this version uses a shared library of AmigaOS instead of a static link library. The July 2007 update of the operating system is required.

AmiDVD 1.31

The current version from July 24 likewise requires the AmigaOS 4 July Update. In addition to an error circumvention for SFS, which should allow the creation of image files > 2 GB again, the directory view was partitioned into two list views for memory capacity reasons. Furthermore, the writing speed can now be determined for drives that do not support the "Get Performance" command as well.

OnyxSoft: Updates of six programs
The developer team OnyxSoft has published updates of six of his programs. They mainly contain bug fixes. Only Annotate has got some new functions.

Please note that the OnyxSoft homepage will be updated only in a few days. Therefore it seems that the files there would be old versions.
  • Annotate 2.6 - (OS4) A very comprehensive text editor with a lot of functions. These are the major updates since the public release v2.5:
    • Syntax highlighting with current support for C/C++, Amiga-E, AmigaGuide and XML
    • Unlimited Undo/Redo: Annotate can remember where in a file you last edited and scroll there when the file is opened
    • Double/tripple-click to select word, syntactic phrase, line or bracket contents
    • Plus a few bugfixes since v2.5.3
  • AllKeys 2.2 - (OS4, MOS) Hotkey program supporting most multimedia-keys and mousebuttons. Fixed a problem with the ARexx command being split between the ARexx command and CLI command fields
  • BackUp 1.45 - (68k) Backup program that mirrors a directory structure. Fixed the annoying hit (=Grim Reaper on OS4) when starting the program
  • DRemind 1.71 - (68k) Reminder program with Daily/Weekly/Monthly/Yearly/Single/Day- or Time interval reminds which will show as a small window and/or execute a file or Arexx command. Fixed a couple of more bugs regarding the prefs file and other things. You may get a warning if you have made reminds using DRemindPrefs v2.70
  • DECH 1.48 - (68k) A small GUI for CLI-only compilers such as ec, gcc, vbcc, make, etc. Now using the system font also for the main GUI. Fixed the annoying hit (=Grim Reaper on OS4) when opening any of the config windows sometimes
  • JoinSplitter 1.31 - (68k) Split and join files with a GUI. Fixed the annoying hit (=Grim Reaper on OS4) when starting the program

Strategy game: Tales of Tamar homepage in new design
Press release Dear friends of the roleplay game, dear players, friends and supporter of Tales of Tamar,

640 years of history are mighty. 640 years of adventures, explorations, fights, 640 years of love, death and betrayal, 640 years of heros, villains, dragons and virgins...

The world of Tales of Tamar starts in the 640th year. That is worth enough to give it a new design and to be ripe for the future...

We are glad and proud to present a reworked homepage of Tales of Tamar which has a completely reworked design, new graphics, clearer impression and some "hidden" surprise like completely new wallpapers.

Enjoy the new designed forum, more lively then ever before...

As eMail game with one round per day we give you the possibility to lead an empire although you have only few minutes a day.

Visit www.tamar.net, be part of the future of the chronicles of Tamar and create the future of a whole world - so in hundred years the world will tell stories of you.

For our Amiga friends: We tried to make compatible our site with the current Amiga browsers. Unfortunataly this will become more and more difficult. If you find special bugs we would be glad if you send a mail with a screenshot or a detailed description to Wolfen@tamar.net. We will try to support the Amiga commuity in future as well.

greetings,
your ToT-team

Spectrum emulator ASp 0.89b
ASp emulates Sinclair's ZX Spectrum on the Amiga. ASp is RTG-compatible and also works under AmigaOS 4. Changes in version 0.89b:
  • Problems fixed when Asp was used as default tool for snapshot pictograms
  • No GUI-problems if the audio ressources can not be correctly allocated
  • All "workarounds" fixed for bugs in OS4-JIT. ASp 0.89b now requires the latest version of OS4.
The archive with version 0.89b only contains the emulator and requires a correctly installed ASp 0.89. (cg) (Translation: dr)
