 MorphOS: SearchStar 0.78
Tom 'Amigaharry' Duin writes about version 0.78 of his search program: "Reading the Amiga Future 65 review about my SearchStar 0.76, the review stated that not all files were found by searching. I was going into the sources and found the bug; a near double match was not detected. For instance, search for TEST, then TTEST, TETEST and TESTEST was not found.

Searching for files, through files and file comments is bugfixed. However, the deletion and renaming of files are improved but not entirely bugfixed. As I am going to holiday, it will take a while to solve the last two bugs." (snx)

HTMLview.mcc Open Source Team (ANF)


 HTMLview.mcc released under LGPL
Press release The HTMLview.mcc MUI class authors are proud to announce that finally after 10 years of successful development on the AmigaOS platform, the full sources of the HTMLview.mcc MUI custom class are now released under the LGPL license.

In 2000 the sources were kind of lost, because the original author (Allan Odgaard) faced a harddisk crash. However, in early 2005 another try was started to recover the sources from that particular harddisk and luckily the full sources were salvaged from it. Therefore the sources are now released under the LGPL Open source license to a) attract more developers to it and b) to have "the internet" as the future backup server for it.

The sources are now hosted on a sourceforge.net SVN and every interested developer is invited to contribute to the development of the HTMLview.mcc class, especially for the upcoming efforts in AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS development. (snx)

 AROS for AmigaOS: AfA 3.95
Version 3.95 of AROS for AmigaOS (AfA), a port of individual AROS components, now installs the Iconlib from AROS as well, to be able to display dual PNG icons in 32 bit from AmigaOS 4 on the Workbench and in Directory Opus Magellan.

New here compared to the final beta version is that in AFA_Prefs, the transparency of default icons as well as the transparency of icons when dragging can be adjusted.

Other improvements:

The FAQ was expanded with troubleshooting for the new Iconlib and CyberGraphX, and a Readme file for the new Iconlib was written.

Problems with the Exe datatype as well as the MacSnd datatype and CopyIcons were solved.

Under Picasso 96 and CyberGraphX 2, dragging icons in 32 bit now works under Directory Opus Magellan and Workbench as well. However, under CyberGraphX 3 and 4, only the icon scaled down to four colors is displayed.

In the author's opinion, the latter two versions of CyberGraphX seem to have the problem which cannot be remedied by the Supergels patch. Namely, it is important that the old icon bitmap data was not modified by any patch, because otherwise, the icon recognition in BltMaskBitmap-Rastport does not work, so that no 32 bit alpha image can be blitted, reportedly.

 CD-Writer software: MakeCD available for free
The CD-Writer software MakeCD, written by Patrick Ohly and Angela Schmidt, which has been shareware before, is now available for free.

The authors write: "MakeCD used to be shareware and some shops sold boxed versions with licenses. This worked well in the past and we are thankful to everyone who found MakeCD worth paying for. However, MakeCD sales have long ago stopped being a relevant source of income for us. At the same time it has become harder and harder for interested users to get hold of a MakeCD license as more and more Amiga shops ceased business.

Therefore we decided to draw a line and stop selling MakeCD altogether: now it is available for free. You still need a valid license key for the existing binaries, which can be obtained at the title link.

Thanks again to all users and distributors who paid for MakeCD licenses, your support has been priceless. I hope you understand that making MakeCD available for free is necessary to ensure that users who want to use it can do so. The status of MakeCD does not change because of it: it is considered stable. We will ensure that it keeps working on Amiga compatible systems." (snx)

 Babylon 5: Production observation of "The Lost Tales" (English)
On its website CGSociety.org the Society of Digital Artists observes the production of "Lost Tales" episodes of Babylon 5 which are to be published on DVD and which are about the characters John Sheridan, Elizabeth Lochley and Galen.

On page 2 the father of the serie called Joseph Michael Straczynski remembers the use of an Amiga at the beginning of the serie: "The initial render farm consisted of several Amiga?s linked together with wires that ran through the apartment of the guy who initially did the FX.

The wires also ran through his rabbit cages. Every so often, in the middle of a render, a rabbit would chew through a wire. They would call me to tell me they had a rabbit crash. And now here we are today." (snx) (Translation: dr)

 individual Computers at CeBIT / Clone-A presentation on March 31st
Press release Individual Computers is present at the world's biggest computer fair CeBIT twice this year: Viprinet GmbH show the Multichannel VPN Router. Individual Computers was significantly involved in the development of the router, which lets you bundle up to six physical broadband lines into a single virtual dedicated line. This increases bandwidth, but also increases reliability of your internet connection up to 99.99% annual mean availability - better and cheaper than any regular dedicated line could offer. Viprinet has booth number E48 in hall 14.

We're especially happy to support the new company Commodore with rare units from our retro-computer collection. This includes a PET2001 which is 30 years old this year. Commodore International is at booth number B34 in hall 19.

Our project "Clone-A" will be demonstrated on saturday march 31st, 2007 in Aachen, Germany. We will show the prototype of our Amiga-chipset clone at Schloß Rahe Business Center from 12:00 to 4:00pm. Clone-A will ultimately be put into a single low-cost chip, which can be used in a laptop or desktop computer, but also in smaller mobile units and toys. The chip contains the processor, accelerated graphics and sound. To operate the chip, only a small amount of memory is needed. There's a huge number of free and commercial programs and about 5000 games for the Amiga platform. The games can compete with today's consoles in multimedia presentation and gaming fun.

After a demonstration that we have prepared (about 30 minutes), visitors will have the chance to put Clone-A to the test: We're inviting visitors to bring especially critical software, which will demonstrate the compatibility of Clone-A to a real Amiga. Should you bring a program (floppy disk) that works better on an Amiga 500 with 1MB of chipmem and a 68000 processor at 7 MHz, we will honour your efforts with a voucher for 100 Euro for products out of our portfolio.

There is no entrance fee for Schloß Rahe Business Center, and there's free parking for visitors. (snx)

 IRC client: Wookiechat 2.6 Beta 5
James Carroll provides a new beta version of his MUI based IRC client Wookiechat for AmigaOS 3/4. Changes in beta 5:
  • BETA 1: Made sure all commands in "Connect Scripts" operate in the right tab when connecting to a few servers simultaneously
  • BETA 1: Tab memory and objects used to be freed after closing WookieChat, but now I'm starting to clean up memory as soon as a tab is closed. Very handy on machines with small amounts of RAM (like my 6mb A1200!)
  • BETA 1: If Wookie is unable to automatically obtain your own address for use in establishing DCC connections, you can now manually specify an address yourself in the prefs. (Main Settings > DCC)
  • BETA 2: Slight modification: "Connect scripts" are executed in the root tab
  • BETA 2: When you connect, the "001" server message is displayed in full and in the root tab. This message contains your hostname, or what the IRC server thinks is your hostname
  • BETA 2: Added sanity checks to the gethostbyname() calls, so that if your address value is invalid for some reason, it wont crash
  • BETA 2: Rejiggered the "close tab" code. It was crashing when closing multiple channels in a particular sequence
  • BETA 3: Attempted to fix crashes when doing "cursor up/down" quickly in tabs
  • BETA 4: New tab system. Optionally, you can display tab names in a listview under the nicklist, instead of using buttons along the bottom of the window. This system is ideal for users with lots of tabs open. Toggle this setting at "Main Settings > General"
  • BETA 4: All info from /whois replies are displayed in the right colour and with «Whois» at the start now
  • BETA 4: Wallop messages, usually from server admins talking to each other, are now displayed correctly
  • BETA 4: You can comment out lines in your Connect Scripts with ; at the beginning of each line
  • BETA 4: Bugfix: No longer crashes if you had more than 40 ignores in your list
  • BETA 5: The button-style tabs/listview-style tabs toggling wasnt working properly I'm very sorry for this.. it seems to be working well now

 AmigaOS 4: Drum computer RockBEAT 2.1
James Carrolls has released an update of his software drum-computer RockBEAT (screen shot, example sound). Changes with version 2.1:
  • Made adjustments to calculations for WAV file saving, so hopefully the larger WAV's will load better in HDREC, etc.
  • Added a "Copy tracks" function. Copy some or all instrument tracks to a new/different bar. Just perfect when you want to keep the same hihat throughout your song, and you dont want to keep clicking it back up again and again!
  • Made a number of improvements for adding new bars
  • RockBEAT is now freeware! E-mail me if you want a free personalised keyfile with your name in it

 Chiptune-Tracker: Hively-Tracker 1.3 for AmigaOS 3/4
HivelyTracker is a tracker based on AHX-format (screenshot). In the 90ies AHX was developed to write music titles which are similar to the typical chip sound of SID (sound-chip of the C64) ähneln. Changes since version 1.3:
  • Position editor now has indicators so its clear to which channel each column relates (suggested by syphus)
  • If you used ring modulation effects in the right hand parameter list of an instrument, but not the left, it would try and save it as an AHX instrument instead of an HVL instrument. Fixed. (thanks to syphus)
  • Added Zap Song/Instrument/Position options (suggested by m0d)
  • Added play time indicator (suggested by someone, sorry forgot who)
  • You can now copy and paste arbitary regions in the position editor. (suggested by a couple of people, and I always intended to do it anyway :)
  • "prefs_bg" and "Settings" in skins are now "prefs_os4" and "Settings_os4" respectively so that the same skin can be used for both the OS4 and OS3.x versions
  • Added some bounds checking to the replayer to avoid weird crashes
  • Fixed a couple of small bugs in the replayer (thanks to pieknyman)
  • When changing the position during playback, the current position plays through to the end before jumping to your selected position (suggested by syphus)
  • Some status information which should have been local to each tab was global. Oops. Fixed now
  • Added Ctrl+Tab to jump to the same column in the next channel, and Shift+Ctrl+Tab to jump to the same column in the previous channel. (suggested by syphus)
  • Added Alt+A to mute all but the current channel (suggested by syphus)
  • Added Alt+Q to mute all channels
  • Right clicking on "New Tab" now makes an identical clone of the current tab
  • Added speed multiplier gadget. This is a feature of both AHX and HVL tunes that was always implimented, but there was no way to actually set it in hivelytracker until now (oops :)
  • Pressing the right mousebutton in the instruments list of the instruments editor will copy the current instrument to the slot where you clicked
  • Holding control and pressing the right mousebutton on a slot in the instrument list in the instrument editor will zap that instrument
  • Changed the default gain values when loading in AHX modules and using stereo mixing. The values before were calculated by running lots of tunes through the Autogain calculations and using the lowest values that came out. Well, it was too high, so now I actually calculated them using actual maths! (thanks again to pieknyman for finding a tune that clipped)
  • Added some more options to the skin system to enable the cool new "Vintage" theme

 AmigaOS 4: DiskMaster 2.7beta11
Rudolph Riedel has made availabe another beta version of his file manager DiskMaster 2.7 in OS4Depot.

Changes since 2.7beta10:
  • Despite some corrections for the 68k version, it still does not run perfectly, unfortunately
  • The calculation for adjusting the standard window to different screen resolutions was improved
  • The string gadget in the command window now displays either the configuration file with which DM2 was launched, or "S:DiskMaster2.prefs"
  • Correction: When using volume names like "Sys:" instead of device names like "DH0:", an error in the rename function had caused the renamed entry to be removed from the list.
  • Correction: Shortcut resolution did not work
  • A couple of chapters in DiskMaster2.guide were updated

 Thor: ARexx script BBSsalvage.br 1.3
BBSsalvage.br is an ARexx script for the offline reader Thor, which attempts to recover damaged databases.

The script was created after an error had occurred at the author, which could not be repaired by ValidateThor, and which led to crash when trying to open a discussion.

Improvements in version 1.3:
  • Fix a bug introduced in v1.2 (or was it v1.1 ?) where a missing "end" instruction in the main loop made the script unusable
  • BBSsalvage.br will now warn you if Thor is running (Thor must not be running), and if BBSread was previously used and still loaded in memory
  • BBSsalvage.br will no more verbose that a message marked as deleted is skipped (this is to save the size of the output from results which are not very informative anyway)
  • The script will now warn if a text line length in the body of a message is longer than 32767 characters (Due to a bug in the Visual Options-Messages Links, Thor may crash the system while trying to display a message containing a too long unwrapped line)
  • The BBS list order and the conference list order are now preserved
  • The "read" (or "unread") status of the messages is now preserved too

 AROS: Snapshots stopped
From today on the AROS developers have stopped the release of "snapshots", stable versions of the os for people who are interested in testing them.

The main reason for this decision is, that the developers are mainly working on the further extension of AROS as well as the bugfixes and therefore not enough time is left for dealing with the snapshot build. As a consequence the snapshots are far behind the current development status.

Users who are interested in the operating system's development status are encouraged to use the daily automated generated nightly builds. (snx) (Translation: tz)

 Networking: Amiga Explorer 2007
Press release:  The Amiga Forever team at Cloanto is pleased to announce the release of Amiga Explorer 2007. The new version of the popular Amiga-PC networking software features dedicated support for Windows Vista and for 64-bit systems, for which a separate package is now available for download.

Amiga Explorer makes it possible to access the resources (files, disk images, ROMs) of an Amiga computer from the Windows desktop. It is even possible to download ADF disk images on the PC, and drag-and-drop them to an Amiga floppy drive. Amiga Explorer works over a null-modem serial cable, via a Bluetooth dongle attached to the Amiga serial port, or via Ethernet or any other TCP/IP link. The Amiga side can even be installed over the serial cable and run from RAM or floppy. The only requirement is that the Amiga be bootable into a standard Workbench environment (1.2 or higher, also compatible with AmigaOS 4.0 and MorphOS). Professional users who already have a network in place can use Amiga Explorer in parallel with other tools.

The new version of Amiga Explorer 2007, which carries the "Works with Windows Vista" logo, is part of a constant effort of Cloanto to support the latest platforms. Amiga Forever 2006 was designed with Windows Vista support in mind from the beginning, but Amiga Explorer required some extra work, such as development of the 64-bit namespace extension. The MenuBox launcher, which was also originally developed for use in Amiga Forever, was among the first 100 applications worldwide to pass the "Certified for Windows Vista" test, as published by Microsoft last week.

Amiga Explorer 2007 costs $19.95 and is also included in the Plus and Premium editions of Amiga Forever. Upgrades are free to all existing customers, including Amiga Forever users. The software is free to test from the Amiga Explorer Home Page. (cg) (Translation: cg)

 ACube Systems: Company web page / STFax 2007 / repair service
Acube Systems, a joint subsidiary company of the three Italian dealers Alternative Holding Group, Soft 3 and Virtual Works, now presents itself with its own web page under the title link.

Moreover, the development of STFax 2007 is disclosed. According to this, they have reached an agreement with STFax developer Simone Tellini to resume work on this program and offer it in two versions (Professional/Server) for Windows, Mac OS and AmigaOS 4.

Furthermore, they want to offer owners of AmigaOne and Teron boards a repair service for defective G4 processor modules. These would then be optionally equipped with a 7455 @ 1 GHz (256 Kb 2nd level cache), 7457 @ 1 GHz (512 Kb) or 7457 @ 1.267 GHz (512 Kb).

Whether a repair service for G3 modules would also be offered, depends on sufficient demand.

Further news concerning the PowerPC board Sam440ep as well as other projects should follow soon. (snx) (Translation: cad)
