Database: MUIbase 2.7
Steffen Gutmann has published an update of his database MUIbase. Changes in version 2.7:
- Implemented quick search for user functions popups
- Merged settings for updating virtual attributes ('On different record'
and 'On dependent change') into one setting 'Auto update'
- New 'Enabled' setting for attributes and window buttons:
'Always enabled' 'Disabled in initial', and 'Compute enabled'
with optional compute function
- Changing the active line in a list of a virtual attribute causes
the update of objects depending on the attribute. This allows e.g.
to enable or disable buttons depending on the active list entry
- GETDISABLED, SETDISABLED, GETWINDOWDISABLED and SETWINDOWDISABLED
are now obsolete. When an obsolete functions is called, it can be
ignored silently, a warning can be generated, or an error be reported
- Command strings for external editor and view can contain '%p' which
is replaced by the name of the public screen MUIbase has been opened
(Amiga only)
- New function for programming: PUBSCREEN which returns the name of the
public screen MUIbase is running on or NIL if the screen is not public.
On Linux and Windows, PUBSCREEN always returns NIL.
- The window dimensions of structure editor, query editor and program
editor are now also remembered on Windows and Linux
- Improved handling of illegal UTF-8 sequences and codeset conversion errors
- Several bug fixes
The MUIbase distribution contains ports for AmigaOS 3, AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and AROS.

AmigaOS 4: Sputnik-bounties will be payed back
According to Troels Ersking who is the initiator of a bounty program which should adapt the Sputnik to AmigaOS 4, he canceled this program and hopes to pay back the bounties until the end of the year.
The author of Sputnik, Marcin 'Marcik' Kwiatkowski, had recently announced that he only had to change the MUI 4 component to MUI 3.x which will require about two more months of development but because of "missing communication, slow development and not-met deadlines" the bounty-program was now canceled.
Update: (12:48, 27.12.08, snx)
Menawhile Troels Ersking has given detailed information about the restitution of the bounties. He asks all donators to contact him with their names and their PayPal-E-Mail-addresses as well as the request how the money should be used.
The money can be payed back as well as it can be donated for different bounty programs. If you will not contact him until 31st January 2009 the money will be given to projects of other ports of web browsers (NetSurf or OWB).

MorphOS: DVD-Engine 0.2
Carsten Siegner's DVD-Engine is an user-interface for a lot of existing command line programs which is supposed to make it more easy to create video or picture-DVDs. Now alpha version 0.2 is available which the author decribed in this way:
"I uploaded an update of my program DVD-Engine to my server. This update includes a new main feature which makes it possible to create subtitles. Per chapter you can create one subtitle. Variable times of fading out and in as well as subtitles consisting of several lines are possible. If you want to create a video-DVD it is now also possible to set the picture aspect. Additionally some bugs have been fixed.
By the way, there are some native MorphOS versions of a lot of required Shell tools. For example the MorphOS version of the tool dvdauthor is twice as fast as 68k-version."

Press release E3B wishes all Amiga users a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Much has happende during the last time and unfortunately the last months was filled with administrative problems. Nevertheless we tried to give the usual support but we did not succeed at all times.
We would like to apologize for this - in the next year you should get the support as known.
For the next year we hope to get the support from our customers and Amiga friends (cross-platform AmigaOS, MorphOS, AROS; never mind if Classic or newer hardware) because without your support nothing can work!
Merry Christmas,
Michael
