Hyperion comment on their dispute with Amiga Inc
Press release:
Leuven, Belgium - May 1, 2007.
Whilst it is not Hyperion Entertainment's policy to comment on ongoing litigation, we would like to reassure our customers (whom we wish to thank for their very numerous notes of support following the news) that development of AmigaOS 4.0 related components is still ongoing and will continue apace during the duration of the litigation with Amiga Inc.
Following over 18 months of unproductive negotiations with Amiga Inc. through our management and attorneys, we welcome the opportunity to finally present our case in a court of law which was regrettably the only remaining avenue after Amiga Inc. repeatedly and consistently stonewalled any attempt to resolve the outstanding issues (including the "Party Pack" and "I am Amiga Club" voucher schemes and the failure to acknowledge the intellectual property rights of third party developers) through mediation and binding arbitration.
Despite the failure of Amiga Inc. to secure access to the Amiga OS 3.5 and 3.9 source-code and indeed the reworked Amiga 3.1 source-code, Hyperion Entertainment has, in the form of Amiga OS 4.0, delivered a product which meets and surpasses all contractual design and development goals (e.g. full Amiga chipset independence), a fact which was previously acknowledged contractually and publicly by Amiga Inc. Under the 2001 agreement with Amiga Inc. Hyperion is entitled to all revenues stemming from distribution of Amiga OS 4.0 irrespective of the execution of the "buy in" clause which relates solely to subsequent versions (Amiga OS 4.1 and beyond).
We will therefore vigorously defend the claim which we consider entirely devoid of substance and we are extremely confident of a favorable outcome.
In closing, we would like to remind dealers and other third parties that distribution of Amiga OS 4.0 without the prior permission of Hyperion VOF and certain third party developers is illegal under EU, US and international copyright legislation and therefore entirely at their own risk.

AROS: Renaming project
According to Aaron Digulla, initiator of the open source code operating system AROS, the name "Amiga" will be deleted from the project name because of the legal steps of Amiga Inc. against Hyperion.
Because of these reasons the project simply is called "AROS", "AROS Research Operating System" or "AROS Research OS". Of course you can call the project just like you want but in eMails, articles and on websites it should be called "AROS - The AROS Research Operating System".

AROS for AmigaOS: Updates to icon.library and picture.datatype for AfA
Bernd Roesch has released updates to icon.library as well as to picture.datatype for his AmigaOS port of AROS components, "AROS for AmigaOS" (AfA).
With these, it is now possible to employ the Workbench plugin Eastern for generating thumbnail icons under AfA as well (reported by amiga-news.de).
To this end, the icon.library now supports "globalidentify hook," which is required by Eastern as well as by DefIcons. Additionally, the version was changed to V51 and AmigaOS 4 compatibility for reading and writing 24 bit icon data was added.
Version 1.5 of Eastern is required, in addition, when using cache, the Raw option must be set.
The new picture.datatype now supports scaling in the function DT_Readpixelarray, which is also required by Eastern. Also, more 8 bit ILBM images are displayed correctly on a "classic" Amiga with Picasso 96 or CyberGraphX.
Moreover, in 32 and 24 bit images on 16 bit screens, a dithering takes place, so that color gradients as in the original picture.datatype are not visible. In this regard, the author Thilo Köhler thanks for the source code.
The update is rounded off with an extension to the FAQ collection for Eastern and the picture.datatype under CyberGraphX on Amiga computers.

Thumbnail Icons: Eastern 1.5
Stephan Rupprecht's Eastern is a Workbench plugin that automatically displays a thumbnail preview instead of the default icon for images that do not have their own icon. The latest changes:
- v1.5: added RAW/S option to speed up loading of cached icons
- v1.4: no longer needs progressive mode for the cache, added WAITUPDATE option
- v1.3: in 1.2 the cache was limited to Workbench, now all apps are cached. The 68k build of Eastern assumes an OS4 compatible icon.library when the version number of the library is v51 or higher. In this case truecolor icons will be created. internal release
Eastern is available for AmigaOS 3 and 4. (cg) (Translation: cad)

Reissue: PCMCIA right angled adapter for A600/A1200
Those who want to transplant an Amiga 600/1200 in another (tower) case, are often confronted with the problem that the PCMCIA slot lies directly to the case wall and is no longer accessible.
Since the PCMCIA right angled adapters, which were developed for such problem cases, are no longer being produced for years, the British dealer amigakit.com has decided to reissue the product. (cg) (Translation: cad)

MorphOS: OpenTTD 0.5.1 published
The OpenTTD-team has published the final version OpenTTD 0.5.1.
OpenTTD is an Open-Source clone of the well-known PC-strategy game "Transport Tycoon Deluxe" from the 90ies with many extensions - so a network modus, individual graphic sets and adaptions to over 20 languages.
OpenTTD 0.5.1 is similar to version 0.5.0 but contains a long list of bug fixes. Please have a look at the TT-forum.
OpenTTD is available for all important operating systems inclusive MorphOS. A compiling for AmigaOS, AmigaOS 4 or AROS is still missing but according to the developer of MorphOS-port, Christian Rosentreter, this should be possible without major problems. The source code is "AmigaOS-ready" but he neither cannot create nor test it because of the missing hardware.

Event: PUSH 2007.1 (Gothenburg)
Press release The number one alternative computer event in west of Sweden, PUSH, will be held this year in June. The doors will open Friday 15th June at 20:00 and we go on until Sunday 17th at 15:00.
The party is open to everyone running alternative operating systems. The PUSH building is a Windows Free Zone.
The news for this year is that we lower the entrance fee, instead of going with the inflation. The new fee is 140 SEK for pre-registered attendees and 240 SEK if you show up unregistered.
We will be at the same place as previous years - at Wartagården in Gothenburg. More information and driving directions are available on the PUSH website.
If you are interested in visiting PUSH we would like you to pre-register at the PUSH website. The registration is not binding at all. If you don't come we won't charge you a single öre. It is just to make it a little easier for us to know how many visitors we must prepare for.
More information will follow closer to the event, but if you have any questions, don't hesitate to drop us an e-mail. (snx)

Amiga Guru Book: Interested in Reprint of the English version?
Press release: Some time ago we rereleased the German Amiga Guru Book. We have promised to care for a reprint of the English Amiga Guru Book as well.
Recently we've been fully occupied with various other projects (amongst others the English version of the Amiga Future) and couldn't take care of the Guru Book. Now we have more time and want to work more intensely on this project.
Because of that we ask all users who are interested in a reprint of the Amiga Guru Book to drop an email to Andreas@apc-tcp.de using the subject "Guru Book".
This is not a preorder! We only want to check if there are enough interested people for a reprint!
We are not able to tell a price nor release date!

AROS: IRC-client WookiChat 2.6b8 (beta)
James "jahc" Carroll has published an AROS-version of his MUI-based IRC-client Wookiechat. The archive only contains the program. Additionally you need the complete distribution of Wookiechat 2.5.
This first beta version still contains some minor problems:
- The window size changes if a "Tab" is closed
- Some windows have a transparent background. This bug should be fixed soon. Meanwhile the author recommends to set a background picture in the MUI preference for WookieChat for the seperate windows
- The lower edge of the main window partly cannot be seen

Thumbnail pictograms: Image2Icon 1.23
Image2Icon by Stephan Rupprecht creates thumbnail pictograms, the archive contains versionen for AmigaOS 3 and 4.
- 1.23: grrr, jpeg saver was still broken...
- 1.22: another AmigaOS4 release: broke jpg and ilbm output the last time
because I changed the internal image format from RGB to ARGB without
adapting the savers to it.
- 1.22: implemented IF=ICONFORMAT/K option. Now
it's possible to create NewIcons with the OS4 version (requires
newicon.library).

Do what you like your Amiga for: Be creative and bring your productions (and your Amiga) to the party.
Competitions will be held in the following categories:
- Demo
- Graphics
- Music (MP3 remix, tracked)
Furthermore there will be the opportunity to play your favorite Amiga or C64 game on the big screen against other attendees at the gaming
competition. Not enough there will be the "Datadisco" withthe best oldschool tunes and a live act.
For the small appetite there will be a catering with free coffee and a big barbecue outside. 'Cause you know: The real party is outside!

SAFIR: IRC session with Hans-Jörg Frieden (English)
On the Swedish SAFIR web page, the transcript of an IRC session with Hans-Jörg Frieden was published. Among other things, it is disclosed herein that work will continue on the completion of the "classic" version of AmigaOS 4 as soon as the AmigaOne version is rolled out - which will be the case really soon.
Currently, the final ISO file for AmigaOne computers is being prepared, which should be distributed as a physical product in form of a CD together with appropriate packaging. On the other hand, the version for Amiga's with PowerPC acceleration cards still exhibits a couple of rough edges to straighten out, which, however, should no longer require too much time according to the developer's estimation. Additionally, a new SDK is being worked on. (snx) (Translation: cad)

MUI-clone: AfA Zune 1.0, final beta 3
Bernd Roesch has published an update of his AmigaOS 3-port of the MUI-clone Zune. Changes in this version:
- supports MUI 4-images (xxx.mim-files). If capitalization is used (xxx.MIM) a frame and a button background are created which can look nicer (look at the arrows in this screenshot)
- The AFA picturedatatype_exe must be used and installed for MUI 4-Bilder. The contained version fixes some compatibility problems under CGX-systems.
- The installer works if Zune directories were newly created, too
- Shows class-number of the MUI-class if it could not be converted
- Contains updated classes in order to use the newer YAM 2.5 "Nightly-Builds" (tested on 2. April 2007)
- Example Skin-files were adapted to the new texteditor-keymappings of the contained version 15.21. Older texteditor-classes should not be used. Version 15.21 works reliable under Zune and MUI.
- Toolbar-preference "no border" now works
- Gadtools and intuition can use the skins created by Zune with the help of the contained intuition.library. Because of this programs based on StormWizard can set colours in buttons and cycle- or popup-gadgets. Examples are Arteffect (screenshot), AmiBlitz, akDatatype-preferences as well as the AfA-preferences.
