AmigaOS 4: X11 environment AmiCygnix 1.4
Edgar Schwan's AmiCygnix is an Unix environment for AmigaOS 4. It is not an emulation but all programms are nativly compiled for AmigaOS 4. AmiCygnix provides a directory and data structure which is similar to a Unix installation.
After a long break of development now new versions of the basic archives have been released. Mainly bugs were fixed which did prevent X-Servers from correctly working on new Amiga systems.
New in AmiCygnix-Base:
- All display drivers and the X server binary were revised to fix the following problems:
- With newer graphics cards like the Radeon HD 7xxx the colours of the
display were wrong. This was completely fixed in the drivers picasso96clonewbdb and picasso96wb.
- Since AmigaOS 4.1 final Update 1 it came to program crashes, if the graphic driver picasso96clonewbdb was used. Is fixed now.
- The display driver picasso96clonewbdb can now also open 32 bit screens internally, however, the data is still processed in 16 bits.
- The print command "lpr" now supports the printout via Turboprint whereby the print quality is increased.
- Updated SSL support over OpenSSL and GnuTLS. The included Trusted Certificates have been updated.
- Many minor improvements and bug fixes.
New in AmiCygnix tools:
- The browser NetSurf has been relinked with OpenSSl 1.01o. Many SSL keyed pages could not be opened anymore. The problem is now largely eliminated.
- The image viewer GPicView is now available in the latest version 0.2.5.

File system: smbfs 2.1 released after two years of development
In last two years smbfs was comprehensively revised and rewritten for the SMBv1/CIFS protocol based on the historical and official documents.
The new smbfs 2.1 improves the robustness and compatibilty of the file system which e.g. can access NAS systems and corresponding computers. The support of Unicode, big files (> 4 GB) and resuming of interrupted connections to the data server were added. A lot of bug fixes were done as well.

Demo scene: Haujobb provides self-developed demo framework
For the development of their demos, the demo group Haujobb uses a self-developed framework including a cross-platform, vbcc-based development environment. The framework is called "WickedOS" and offers programmers of assembler e.g. access to 20 different chunky-To-planer screen modes, several music playback routines and interrupt entry points. Additional to a traditional "Multi Tasking Killer" mode, there is also multitasking environment including hardware abstraction layer.
As target architecture for the framework upgraded Amigas are specified, AGA, a 68020 and a FPU are minimum required. The framework itself will be released little by little on Github as well as the corresponding documents completed.
Already in August both Haujobb programmers 'Hellfire' and 'Noname' did introduce their ihre method of cross-platform demo development in a speech.

Individual Computers: Advance orders for ACA500plus and Indivision ECS V2
Press release: For the second production run of the ACA500plus, we've done a few small upgrades to adapt the card to the needs of our customers that were communicated in support cases and other customer feedback. Some customers were not satisfied with the speed of the card, which is why we have changed to the new CPU type 68SEC000. For this processor we can't just guarantee 14.1MHz, but stable operation up to 21MHz. It is of course still possible to set the CPU frequency to up to 42MHz, but since this is very demanding for the power supply regulation and cooling, this is not covered by standard customer support.
We've also updated the DisMo: The 2-digit display is now bigger, and the status LED is not two- but three-colour. The button has been moved to a more ergonomic position. Despite these upgrades, the increase in price for the ACA500plus is very moderate.
When Indivision ECS was released in 2009, scan line emulation was still special. Over the years, other products and emulators have copied our idea. We've now refined this feature: The scan line emulation in Indivision ECS V2 can be carefully adjusted, so the effect can be set according to individual taste.
We often got questions about how to adjust the picture to be full-screen. Often times, this was not possible without adding black bars around the picture, because the resolution of the Amiga-output had an unfavourable size relation to the resolution of the screen. With the new upscaler in Indivision ECS V2, it is now much simpler to adjust the picture size and keep the correct aspect ratio. The scaler of Indivision ECS V2 is geared towards keeping the "pixel-art" appearance of the picture, and can be adjusted in very small steps to introduce only the lowest-possible blur that's always introduced by a scaler.
We have entered a delivery date of december 22nd for both products. However, we will already start shipping next week, but cannot guarantee when a shipment will leave here due to the high demand for both products. Parcels will be shipped in the order of incoming money transfers.
