`13.May.2018` Achim Pankalla (ANF)	AmigaOS 4: ignition and ODS add-on updated Achim Pankalla writes: After more than a year of working, the beta 5 of the spreadsheet "ignitionOS4" is now available on the Sourceforge pages. The most important innovation of this version is the print routine, which now easily brings graphics and diagrams to paper. In addition, the print margins are also considered. Furthermore, two errors in the diagram modules were corrected and some mathematical functions adapted in their behavior to those of the standard applications, so that the import of foreign formats works better. Also some minor and major errors have been removed from the program. The installation now also includes the alternative icon set and a translation into French. The revised manual is now available in English. Parallel to the release of igntionOS4, the add-on ODS gets a functional update. Now the module takes over the positioning of the data in the cell in the horizontal and vertical when loading and storing. In addition, within the possibilities of ignition, the cell frames are also converted. The add-on requires at least Ignition 1.0 beta 4 and AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition. It can load and save documents in ODS format. This format is used by Libre and OpenOffice-Calc, but can also be exported and imported by other spreadsheets. The add-on is still a "beta" version! The author requests to not keep bugs and wishes for functional enhancements of the programs to oneself, but to simply contact him. This is not only possible via e-mail, but also via the OS4Welt forum, where is a support page. He also wants to thank everyone who supported him with such feedback and of course his beta testers! The new version of the add-on can be found on Aminet or OS4Depot as well as on Sourceforge at the title link. (snx) [News message: 13.

`10.May.2018` (ANF)	AmigaKit registers several trademarks, e.g. "Amiga Kit Gotek" At the beginning of 2017 Amiga, Inc. lost the US registration of the trademark "Amiga" due to inactivity. Afterwards Hyperion and Cloanto competed to diverse Amiga trademarks and are involved in several judicial proceedings. The British dealer and X5000 distributor Amigakit also became active: Instead of trademarks like "Amiga", "Workbench" or "Amiga Forever" the company concentrated on different ones: In Great Britain (overview) "Amigakit" and the logo "amiga.org" - for some years the website belongs to the British dealer - were registered but also "Amiga Kit" and eventually "Amiga Kit Gotek". In den Benelux countries Leaman Computing owns the trademark Amigakit and in the Welsh hometown of the company Amiga Technology Ltd. was founded. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 10.

`02.May.2018` (ANF)	Emulator: Preview to WinUAE 4.0.0 As usual the developers of the well-known Amiga emulator WinUAE present a short preview to the changes of the next version. WinUAE 4.0.0 is supposed to be released in May or June and will provide the following features: New features: Beam Racing Lagless VSync which reduces input latency to sub-5ms. Replaces old Low Latency VSync. Virtual multi monitor support. Each virtual Amiga video output connector (Video port graphics adapter, RTG boards) can be “connected” to separate WinUAE window, emulating real hardware being connected to more than one physical monitor. Debugger supports running Amiga executables from shell, adds symbol and gcc stab debugging data support, loads executable to special reserved address space which enables detection of any illegal accesses byte accurately and more. Overlay graphics led (power, floppy etc) support. Close confirmation option added to misc panel. Default WASAPI audio device automatically follows Windows default audio device. Directory harddrives now use uaehf.device as a fake device driver (replacing non-existing uae.device), for example programs that query extra information (like SCSI Inquiry data) now get valid data. Directory filesystem harddrive fake block size dynamic adjustment now starts from smaller disk size, workaround for WB free space calculation overflow when partition is larger than 16G. Disk swapper config file data is restored from statefile. 3.6.x bug fix: WD33C93 based SCSI controllers hung the system if controller didn’t have any connected SCSI devices. Older bugs fixed: On the fly switching from non-cycle exact to cycle-exact mode stopped emulation in certain situations. Fixed E-Matrix accelerator board RAM selection. If CD was changed and system was reset during change delay, drive become empty and new CD was never inserted. Mainly affected CD32 and CDTV. Code analyzer warnings fixed (uninitialized variables, buffer size checks etc..) New emulated expansions: C-Ltd Kronos CSA Magnum 40 DCE Typhoon MK2 GVP A1230 Series II Hardital TQM MacroSystem Falcon 040 Xetec FastTrak (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 02.
