Ross Vumbaca has published version 5.23 of his Sound Blaster 128-AHI-driver.
The driver supports the Ensoniq ES1370 as well as all Creative Labs-PCI-soundcards which are not based on the emu10k1-Chip or a version of it (z.B. "SB Live").
The update now works with the new memory system of AmigaOS 4. The author points out that the driver is and will be for free but every donation is very welcome.

Magazine: Amiga Future celebrates 8th anniversary
Press release: This month Amiga Future celebrates its 8th anniversary. Thats a good reason for use to celebrate. Eight years ago most of the users thought we would hold on only for few months.
In November/December 1998 the first issue of the Amiga Future was printed.
Because of delivery reasons Amiga Future first was published as special issue so the first issue was not named 1 but 11.
From the beginning the Amiga Future was published each second month with Cover-CD.
With issue 27 the editorial stuff became self-employed. All articles were written by themselves. Besides this the delivery of the magazine was made by them, too.
Meanwhile issue 63 was published and we are already working on the next issue of the Amiga Future.
During the next weeks we will start some little but nice actions on the Amiga Future homepage and there will be some bigger updates, too.
We start with a special offer for all fans of the Amiga Future-reader-CD. Directly on the start page of our shop you can find this limited offer.
Several older single issues you can order in our onlineshop.
We would like to thank all editors, firms and users who helped us creating the Amiga Future and of course to thank all readers of the Amiga Future.
Andreas Magerl,
Amiga Future / APC&TCP (snx) (Translation: dr)

Dragon 1200: Further Informations published
The organizers of the exhibition AmiZaduszki 2006 (amiga-news.de reported) have prepared informations, confirmed by Elbox, about the Coldfire board Dragon 1200 at the pages of the Polish Amiga-portal PPA. An English translation of the Polish announcement was provided by'yak'.
The first shipment of the Dragon 1200 is planned for the end of December this year. The speed of 68k software running at the Coldfire-Board could be compared with the speed of a 68040 to 68060 cpu.
Further details:
- AmigaOS 3.9 would run at the Dragon 1200
- The Dragon board could run as a stand alone unit, but not under AmigaOS 3.9, as this takes access to the Amiga hardware
- An AROS port is under work
- Software to convert 68k-assembler-source code for the Coldfire cpu should exist as well as a GCC-compiler for the Coldfire
- The price without vat is calculated with 349 Euro, a discount for the return of a Mediator-busboard is planned
- The former delays were caused by problems with the cpu's provided by Freescale, furthermore 68k emulation libraries provided by Freescale didn't work
- Besides the Amiga market the Dragon-board (in a stand alone mode) addresses under Linux the industry; even Freescale is interested in this
- A PowerPC option realized as a pci card for den Dragon could be possible
- The Dragon's cpu module doesn't strictly depend on a Coldfire cpu, but a different cpu could be used in future

Feelin 11.0
Olivier Laviales' open source project Feelin, an object oriented system for AmigaOS, is now available in version 11.0
(screen shots).
Changes:
"Although this new release is a major update, it's still very far from my goals. A huge set of features was added, mainly related to styles, but unfortunately I had to disable the preference system and some classes in order to push a release (9 monthes since last release).
Please note that the website address is no longer http://www.gofromiel.com/feelin but http://feelin.gofromiel.com. Please update your bookmark.
SYSTEM
This version introduce Atoms, which associate a unique numeric representation to a string, making string comparison child play. I was previously using a Hash tables for this purpose, this method is far more better.
CSS
The preferences were already stored in CSS files since last release, but it was a "stupid" implementation. This updated one is still very limited, since it doesn't support selectors, but it finaly introduces pseudo classes and *real* inheritence.
Previsouly inheritence was granted because classes attributes where overriting one another, which is stupid and *very* limited. Now a 'style-cache' is created based on an object's true class and its inheritence. The 'style-cache' has the same properties as the previous 'associated data' technique: the style of an object 'type' if decoded only once and shared *a lot*. For example, if you have 1000 buttons in a window, their style is decoded once then cached and shared with the 999 others.
More over, there is now a *clear* distinction between attributes and style properties. For example, there is no longer any FA_Area_Background" attribute, but a "background" property.
Most attributes have been replaced with their CSS conterparts: "background", "border", "padding", "min-width", "max-height"... This version also introduce the "margin" property, which can now be used to add invisible space around objects.
Obviously as in HTML you can use multiple classes as style class: "button confirm warn".
ELEMENT / AREA / WIDGET
Because of the new 'styles' support, the Area class has to be rewritten. It is now a subclass of the Element class. Its sole purpose is to handle low level graphics such as backgrounds, palettes, fonds... All 'event' implementation has been moved into the new Widget class.
COLORS
CSS definitions where already used to define colors, but it was limited to hex values (#FF00FF), HTML keywords (aqua, black...) and Feelin keywords (shine, fill). With this update colors definitions are complete since the functionnal rgb() is now available!
IMAGES
Image specifications where defined using XML format, which was nice at the time, but I realize it was stupid and to much of a job ! Now images are simply defined as CSS does, with some extentions.
Obviously you can create solid background using the "red" keyword, but you can create a two color gradient using "red blue", a three color gradient using "red green blue", and an 'aqua style' gradient using four colors. Additionally you can define the angle of the gradient: "red blue 45°".
Brushes are currently disabled, but you can use pictures instead, and it's as simple as this: "url(logo.png") ! CSS 'positionning' is completely handled as well as 'repeat'. I've exented specification which the 'multiple' keyword, which can be used to split an image in four states: normal, touch, focus and ghost. Finaly, you can also 'tint' a transparent image by simple adding a color specification if the declaration: "url(logo.png) red"." (snx) (Translation: ub)

Aminet: Download statistics available
Press release: Aminet now features download statistics: download charts for both the current month aswell as an all time top 50 are now available at our stats page - the current leader may actually come as a surprise to most of you.
Additionally, each package overview page now lists the number of downloads for the actual package (Example). All HTTP-Downloads from all of the Aminet mirrors are considered when creating the statistics.
A note to uploaders: If you replace an existing package with a new upload with the exact same name, the download statistics for your package will not be resetted - e.g. if you upload disk/misc/foo.lha to replace an
existing, older version of disk/misc/foo.lha, the download counter will be preserved.
In all other cases - like uploading foo-1.1.lha replacing foo-1.0.lha - the download counter will be set to zero again. Note that using version
numbers or similar indicators in filenames is not recommended anyway.
In addition to the current month's top uploaders, the stats page also features an all time uploader chart now.
While we're at it, we would like to welcome ftp.uni-bremen.de to our pool of mirrors. This Aminet veteran is finally back online and now sports a full mirror, which means that Aminet now consists of eight active servers - with more coming up soon.

MorphOS: TTEngine2 0.17
Grzegorz 'Krashan' Kraszewski has released version 0.17 of his TrueType rendering library TTEngine2, used by the KHTML browser Sputnik.
Three additional output modules for the AGRB32, RGB24 and BGR24 pixel modes of CyberGraphX are included. These should cover all Voodoo and Permedia graphics cards. However, since the author possesses none of these cards, this is still untested.
Users of the beta version of Sputnik, who did not see any text on 24 bit screens, should switch to the current version of TTEngine2. For this, simply unpack the archive and copy the new library over your old ttengine2.library in the LIBS: directory and restart the computer.
Please send bug reports to the author under "krashan at teleinfo dot pb dot edu dot pl" and, if necessary, consult the corresponding thread at MorphZone, too.
Download: ttengine2-0.17.lha (82 KB)
Update: (12.11.2006, 20:40, cg)
By now Version 2.0.17 is available, which aims to fix a color problem on 24 bit screens on Permedia 2 based graphic cards. (snx) (Translation: cad)
