New online FAQ for YAM available
The developer team of the email program YAM (Yet Another Mailer) has launched a new web servive for an automated administration
of fequently asked questions (FAQ). The phpMyFAQ based system does not only allow every user to browse the existing data base of the YAM FAQ, but also to
directly add qustions to the system which may be answered later on by the administrators and which will be added then to the FAQ.
The team hopes to provide their user community a better support for frequently asked questions that way.
It is also the aim to put some kind of tool into the community's hand to help the community by themselves, because common questions are far better and more
transparent to handle this way than it was possible before with the static FAQ.

Linux: PowerPC-version of Ubuntu from version 7.04 inofficial
The Technical Board has decided that from version 7.04 the PowerPC version of the Linux distribution Ubuntu has only the status "inofficial".
This means that in future the Community Team is responsible for the PowerPC version and therefore this version may has a slower development than the official version if the team cannot perform tests and bug fixes in time.
The previous PowerPC versions of Ubuntu will be supported in limited time. As an example Ubuntu 6.06 LTS on PowerPC-servers will be supported until 2011.

MorphOS: New test version of Robin Hood
After some users of the MorphOS version reported that sometimes the game "Robin Hood - The Legend of Sherwood" freezed Gunnar von Boehn has published a new test version and asks these users to check if the problem still occurs.
The new version was created with a new compiler and is faster than the previous version. But please note that the memory format has changed. Therefore it cannot be guaranteed that old game stands can be used!
To install the game please extract the file RobinHood.bz2 and copy the it to your Robin Hood directory.

MorphOS: OpenTTD 0.5.0 Release Candidate 5
OpenTTD is an Open-Source clone of the Microprose game "Transport Tycoon Deluxe". Information about the changes in this version are available in a report in the Transport Tycoon forum.
Christian Rosentreter who is responsible for the MorphOS version added that you have to use a TrueType font which contains glyphs for all required signs. You have to change the preference file openttd.cfg manually. The Bitmap font of OpenTTD mainly supports only languages compatible with Latin1 (e.g. English, German).

Team AROS: Bounty for TeX-port
With the support of the bounty program for AROS there is a reward if you port the text sentence system TeX.
Best would be the port of web2c or texlive but at least it must be TeX, pdftex or Metafont.
Besides this with Robert Norris and Nick Andrews there are now two developers who try to implement the DOS-packets and to write a VIA RhineII-network card driver.

Aminet: Status-Update
Pressemitteilung: The Aminet main server is currently suffering from stability problems and had to be taken offline. The exact reasons for the problems are unknown and the whole issue requires further investigation. Unfortunately, we're pretty busy with other things right Right now, another server is acting as the main server. It uses a simplified, not database-driven interface which lacks a few of the features that were introduced recently. Additionally, we're not able to accept uploads right now, but a solution to the latter problem is already being worked on.
We're sorry about the problems, rest assured we'll take care of them as soon as possible.

Harald Evers deceased
Already on November 30, 2006, Harald Evers was deceased due to a heart attack at the age of 49 years. Harald Evers should still be in the memories of many Amiga owners via the "Weltenschmiede" and his games "Das Stundenglas", "Die Kathedrale" and "Hexuma." "Die Kathedrale" was published as a novel by him as well.
However, Harald Evers has reached a considerably higher name recognition as author of the fantasy circle "Die Höhlenwelt-Saga" which spanned eight volumes.
Under the title link, an obituary by Mick Schnelle (ex-Amiga Joker, ex-Gamestar) for Harald Evers is to be found. Detailed information on the works of the deceased is found on his homepage. (snx) (Translation: cad)

Graphics Program: SView5 2.10
Andreas Kleinert has released an update to his graphics program SView5 for AmigaOS and MorphOS. The included version 10.1 of the SView5.library now recognizes a total of 103 formats.
Compared to the previous version, which was released three weeks ago, the improvements in SView5 2.10 itself include, among other things, that it is now possible to select rectangular areas of a picture via the GUI, that is, with the mouse, and apply any SVOperators on the selected area only (and namely for so long until the selection is canceled or changed).
In combination with the (unlimited) undo and auto-preview function, which is also quite new, one can experiment to one's heart's content (for example, processing only the red eyes on a photo).
In a similar manner, a color selection, too, can be carried out graphically (for example, an alpha color or the transparency in GIF/PNG). Likewise, it continues to be possible to specify the particular selection pixel-exact, or, alternatively, color-exact, as integer/hex values via requesters.
The remaining improvements concern minor changes with respect to user-friendliness more than anything else.
A detailed English listing of the changes in version 2.10 of SView5 (improvements in the SView5.library not considered) is found in the accompanying AmigaGuide file:
- PNG-Box:
- Updated to libpng 1.2.15
- Increased minimum sview5.library requirements to V10
- Increased minimum sview5support.library requirements to V3
- Updated date and copyright information
- JPEG-Box:
- Increased minimum sview5.library requirements to V10
- Increased minimum sview5support.library requirements to V3
- Updated date and copyright information
- Added two more checkbox gadgets, one for the Save button
and one for symmetry (yet always disabled)
- The checkbox button besides the Save button now activates
the automatic generation of the default file extension
(e.g. .ilbm/.png/.jpg) when opening the file requester
prior to saving a file; note that it is still possible
to just ignore this recommendation and change the file
name not to have an extension; ARexx is not affected
by the checkbox setting
- Opening any file requester now causes a busy mouse pointer
- Added new ARexx command "AREASELECT" for selecting an
SVOperator action area via Arexx (instead of the GUI)
- Added support for new "AREA" .cpinfo data type, which
allows to select an area visually and pass the
rectangle coordinates as ControlPad parameter
to SV#? modules in form "SV_AREA=left,top,width,height";
e.g. as parameter to Cut/Crop SV5Operator;
NOTE: This works on a real graphics visually only,
in case there is one loaded (otherwise manually
entering a string is required);
any previously selected "global" area will be
released, then; selection of a global area
on the other hand will overwrite (delete)
a previous local SV_AREA in the .controlpad
- Added support for new "COLOR_#?" .cpinfo data types,
which allow to select a color/component visually and pass
the result as ControlPad parameter to SV#? modules
e.g. as parameter to AddAlpha SV5Operator;
OR when e.g. selecting the transparent color of a GIF/PNG
image prior to saving it (cf. GIF-Box5/PNG-Box5)
NOTE: This works on a real graphics visually only,
in case there is one loaded (otherwise manually
entering a string is required)
- Results of SV5Operators which result in de-facto size changes
will be rejected for area operations now (size mismatch error)
- SV5Operators which have the -new- "size change" flag set,
are rejected for area operations (size mismatch error)
- The 4 CTA commands for ASL file requester dimension settings
have been replaced by a single new one (you will have to
redo your settings)
- After using an ASL file requester the first time, size
and position are not remembered (and saved into the configuration
in case it is saved afterwards); no more need to manually hack
it into your configuration file the first time
- The default file requester size/pos now is always determined
from the screen size using a simple formula
- Added new CTA command VISUAL_PREFS for controlling the new
visual area/color selection mechanism (on/off - default is on)
- The SV5Driver settings are no longer globally changed for
all programs, but only locally within SView5 (regardless
whether changed on the GUI, via Config or via Arexx)
- Increased minimum sview5.library requirements to V10
- Also updated the .guide file regarding sview5(support).library
minimum requirements
- Further minor changes
- Included sview5.library V10.1 (see there)
