Aminet domain registration expired, Aminet temporarily not available (Update 2)
The Aminet team informs us: Due to an unfortunate oversight, the registration für the domain aminet.net has expired - that's why Aminet is currently not available at that address. The owner of the domain, Urban Müller, has been notified and will fix the problem as soon as possible.
We will announce a replacement URL as soon as it has been established (i.e. as soon as the server admin has returned home). The IP of the Aminet main server is 69.163.220.116, but you'll have to modify your computer's hosts file if you want to use this IP.
Note: Aminet and all of its mirrors continue to exist and are not in danger of being shut down. We're already witnessing users announcing they're making backups "for safety reasons" - please do not do that, you're only wasting server ressources donated to Aminet by private users, non-profit organisations and universities.
Update: (21.08.2011, 16:45, cg)
Amiga user LoadWB managed to convince our provider to reenable the domain for now, until the registration has been renewed.
Update: (21.08.2011, 23:30, cg)
Domain registration has been properly renewed a few hours ago. It may take a few more hours until all DNS servers worldwide have updated their databases accordingly, but tomorrow afternoon evernbody should be able to access Aminet again. (cg) (Translation: cg)

AmigaOS 4: AmigaAMP 3.3
The third generation of AmigaAMP written by Thomas Wenzel is available PPC-native for AmigaOS 4 in version 3.3. Changes:
- Fixed colour palette of the analyzer for the included Base-Skin
- "Default" file name pattern added
- AsyncIO-support to Libsndfile added
- Tag-Info window title shows complete file path
- New prefs-editor
The author wrote: "Finally there is a new prefs-editor! Thanks to Daniel Jedlicka who has written him!
If in the prefs-programm the file name pattern is set to "default", AmigaAMP selects the best fitting pattern for the file requester. Therefore it is not necessary any longer to manually adapt the pattern for each new release. Of course you can overwrite the pattern by another one.
AmigaAMP 3 now can use the asyncio.library for all decoders. But this option is turned off and cannot be turned on with the prefs-programm. Instead you have to set the tooltype to ASYNCIO in the pictogramm."
