PPCNUX: better gaming under MorphOS - Radeon 9000 vs. 8500
PPCNUX made another test regarding graphics boards installed in the Pegasos II running under MorphOS. This time they compared last time's winner, the Radeon 9000 Pro AIW, with an 8500 LE graphics card. Next to the usual 3D games benchmarks there's an overview of the 2D power of the boards tested the last time.

Aminet: Status update November 2005
October and November have been two quite busy months for us. The following is a short summary of the most important changes - a detailed list can be found at our news section.
A lot of bug hunting and fixing has been going on behind the scenes. The internal scripts and the database got quite a lot of tweaking and finetuning.
The entire Aminet tree needed some cleaning up as well. All archives have a proper architecture field by now, lots of (very) old archives were missing their readmes or readme files were shared between archives (foo.lzh and foo.lha both had foo.readme). We could even resurrect some ancient archives that were accidentally deleted from the indices years ago.
The mailing lists are back - if you want to get daily or weekly e-mails listing the recent uploads, just send a mail to aminet-daily-subscribe@aminet.net or aminet-weekly-subscribe@aminet.net. They do not carry information about a package's architecture yet, but we're working on that.
Aminet mirrors are on the verge to be rolled out properly. A new German mirror hosted by Costel 'Cyborg' Mincea is already online and can be accessed at de4.aminet.net for now. We're still missing a mirror in eastern europe - if you think you can help out, please get in touch with us.
The uploader's e-mail address gets obfuscated now, both in the web interface and in the actual readme. Please note that this field is now strictly required - not specifying an e-mail address may result in your upload getting deleted.
The statistics have been expanded aswell - we have uploader stats now. This month's most active uploader is Tony "I was born for SDL" Aksnes. If you want to compete with him, make sure your uploader field is spelled exactly the same on all your uploads.
The search function now supports Amiga wildcards: You can search for foo?.lha, foo#?.lha or even foo*.lha. Searching readmes should be quite a lot faster now aswell, though the database is still busy indexing all the readme files.
Most of you will have recognised it already: You can now configure Aminet to your liking. Simply go to Setup and select which architectures you want to have displayed. This setting affects all aspects of the web interface (recent uploads, directory browsing, search function).
During the first six months of this year, we did have some problems: Packages didn't get moderated as regularly as we would have wished, we had database problems and the server went down several times. These issues should be solved by now - as far as we can tell everything is running smoothly. But please don't hesitate to drop us a note if you encounter any problems or just want to give some feedback. We're open to suggestions aswell: If you have an idea for improving Aminet, let us know.
Last but not least: October was a new record month for uploads and in November we surpassed the year 2003 in terms of uploads, making 2005 the first year Aminet's upload rate rises since 1997!

MorphOS: First public beta of the "Packet Management" system MorphUp
Rupert "naTmeg" Hausberger has published the first beta version of his Paket-Manager
MorphUp. MorphUp is supposed to simplify the installation of software by installing
required libraries automatically.
According to the status update
the client is in early status but the "Generator" already works and so you
can get a first impression.

E3B and individual Computers stop selling hardware
Jens Schönfeld from individual computers announces that both individual and E3B are going to stop selling hardware for now:
"Both companies, who became famous for innovative and powerful hardware expansions
for classic Amiga computers, are forced to stop selling hardware until further notice due to
changes in German law. No hardware is being shipped within the EU, neither to resellers,
nor to direct customers.
According to the national implementation of EU-directive 2002/96/EG into German law (Bundesgesetzblatt 2005 Teil I Nr. 17), every vendor in Germany must be registered
with the Stiftung EAR.
For vendors from outside Germany, the importer must be registered, in case the vendor himself is not
registered in Germany. This law applies to all electronic products that are mentioned in rule
EAR 03-011, no matter what country they come from - within or outside the European union.
The new law aims at vendors and importers, who need to take resposibility for the electronic devices
if they are discarded at the end of the product's life. Putting electronic devices into circulation
without being registered (indicated by a trashcan symbol) is against German law since today, and can
be penalized with a monetary fine of up to 50.000,- EUR.
Due to the complicated implementation by German authorities, it's not easy to estimate the consequences
and the new obligations created by this law. In addition to that, the extremely high administration effort
goes with high fees that must be paid to the Stiftung EAR - especially smaller companies' existance is
endangered by the fees that are more than one hundred times higher than the recycling cost itself.
individual computers and E3B, who have been developing
and producing in Germany for many years, are now evaluating possibilities to comply with the strict rules
in a close cooperation, so customers all over Europe can continue to buy top quality products from Germany.
Both companies want to act responsible and sustainable in this regard.
Many issues are not yet resolved, therefore both companies cannot continue to deliver hardware to customers
and resellers within the European union. Customers outside the EU are not affected by this decision.
We're hoping to proceed with the necessary steps in a timely manner. Unfortunately, the "Stiftung EAR"
cannot cope with the bureaucracy created by their own rules, so our registration number is not yet assigned. We are of course interested in continuing to offer innovative products, and will do everything to keep the shortage as short as possible. We're asking for your indulgence for any inconveniences."

IRC-Klient: Wookiechat 1.9.1 for AmigaOS 3/4
The newest Version 1.9.1 of the MUI-based IRC-Klients Wookiechat (Screenshot) is available in Versionen for AmigaOS 3 and 4 with following changes:
- When you're holding down the left mouse button highlighting text, channel messages etc are paused until you let go.
- "Unknown nick" and "Cannot send to channel" messages are displayed in their proper tabs again
- Channel lists are no longer sorted alphabetically. It was causing a huge drain on the CPU when thousands of channels were present. It sometimes led to a crash.
- No more garbled channel part messages
- "Clear all" button added to the URL Grabber window
- Added code to prevent DCC Transfers window from popping to the front when you get an incoming file if its already open in the background somewhere
- 68k WookieChat development has resumed, and it longer hangs when recieving incoming DCC sends. A divide by zero bug in the file transfer stats function has been removed! (thank you wegster for telling me what was wrong)
- Now works with WebChat and DarkMyst networks (homes of #amiga.org and #amigazeux). Wookie was doing its connection detection in a slightly bad way previously.
- Clicking in the main chat display now activates the chat string gadget
- Outgoing swear word filter. use /filter to toggle on and off

PDF-Book "Le livre du Pegasos" now in English translation as well
The 148-page book "Le livre du Pegasos," available as a PDF file, for which translators had been sought (reported by amiga-news.de), is now available in a first, though still incomplete, English version as well. At present, Mac OS X as well as half of the Linux section are still missing.
Aim of the book is to bring information and articles on every aspect of the Pegasos and its operating systems (MorphOS, Linux, Mac OS X via Mac-on-Linux) together in a single document, so that these can be consulted offline as well, and printed without problems.
Translations to more languages (German, Spanish, Italian, Portugese, Swedish and Polish) are already in the works. In the meantime, donations can be made to the authors and translators, too. (snx) (Translation: cad)

Example-Project: Skeletal animation with Blender
Carsten Siegner has created a small animation for the raytracer Blender, which demonstrates the insertion of skeletal animations in a real scene. In doing so, the so-called shadow objects are used as well, meaning objects that are not depicted themselves, but rather, only cast a shadow. With shadow objects, you can furnish every 3D object in a real scene with shadows.

AmiDevCpp: Version 0.5 released / AROS now target platform as well
AmiDevCpp, the integrated Amiga development environment for Windows, is available in version 0.5, and now includes, in addition to the m68k-amigaOS cross-compiler, an i686-aros cross-compiler as well.
With this, it is (at least theoretically) possible to compile a project created with AmiDevCpp for AmigaOS (m68k) as well as for AROS (x86) with few mouse clicks.
For downloading and installing, an Internet installer created specially for this is recommended.
