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. (cg)

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)

Dieses mal haben wir wieder einmal einige Interessante Artikel im Heft.

Aber auch Workshops zu Relaise-Karten am Amiga oder zu WHDLoad fehlt in diesem Heft nicht.

In dieser Ausgabe machen wir einen kleinen Abstecher in die C64 Welt. Wir haben C64 Emulatoren sowie die C64 Classix 2 getestet und natürlich darf ein Interview mit Protovision nicht fehlen.

Eine ausführliche Vorschau sowie Leseproben findet ihr auf unserer Webseite.

Da es die letzte Ausgabe in diesem Jahr ist haben wir ein kleines Geschenk auf der LeserCD. Neben vielen Vollversionen für den Amiga (ApanoSin, Breathless, Conquestador, Erben des Throns, Fools Errand, Labyrinth of Time, Magic Island (ungetestet), Manager, NewTracker AHI, T-Racer, The World Of Magic 1, The World Of Magic 2) findet ihr dort auch über 100 Vollversionen für den C64, sozusagen als kleine Ergänzung zu unserem Ausflug in die Welt des C64. Außerdem gibt es einige Musikstücke von Andreas Stürmer, AmiKit 120 inkl. Tutorial Videos und vieles vieles mehr.

Die Amiga Future ist als Einzelheft und im Abo erhältlich. Das Heft ist direkt bei der Redaktion und im Amiga Fachhandel (z.b. Alinea, Vesalia, GGS-Data...) erhältlich. (cg) (Translation: aj)

AmigaOS 4: Developer tool GNU make 3.81-3
Steven Solie has released an update to the GNU make port for AmigaOS 4.

Changes:
  • fixed pattern substitution rules to work correctly when you have patterns like "$(LIBOBJECTS):%.o:%.c importinc" (thanks Thore Böckelmann)
  • changed exit code to EXIT_FAILURE on fatal signal
  • fixed break processing so the parent signals the child processes now (thanks Colin Wenzel)
  • added custom __check_abort() to signal child processes from clib2 function calls
  • added extra code to cleanup stray child processes at exit just in case
