Problems when using the alternative mpega.library clone
Lorence Lombardo is pointing out a problem of release 7 of the alternative mpega.library clone (mpega_libmad.lha).

The clone library is returning false-positive validity for files which are no MPEG audio files more often than the original one (mpega_library.lha). This is causing programs such as playOGG and mpega to fail. (snx)

AmigaOne: Driver for the AC97 onboard sound
Davy Wentzler acquaints, he build a working AC-97 driver for the onboard sound of he AmigaOne board with the help of Stephen Brookes.

Mainboards from recent production runs are not equiped with the Sigmatel chip, which resides left to the AGP slot, any more.

The first version of that driver is very basic and offers only replay and a CD in monitor, there is no volume setting or other functions yet, but should be added later on.

If you have an AC97 chip and are going to use the driver, the author would welcome a PayPal donation of 5 Euro.

Book: "Version Control with Subversion - For Subversion 1.1"
Version control systems like CVS and Subversion are used in software development in particular. They support multiple developers working on a project at the same time, and every state of a project, that was previously saved, can be restored at any time, for example, when a new idea has turned out to be the wrong way, and then you would rather pick up from where you were a week ago.

In his journal entry, Sven Drieling describes his first experiences with Subversion, states possible applications for a version control system, and gives an account of his impressions from the online book Version Control with Subversion -For Subversion 1.1.

Subversion exists for the Amiga and for MorphOS, too. (cg) (Translation: cad)

AmigaOS 4: Warp3D picture viewer WarpView
The picture viewer WarpView uses Warp3D (and with it, the 3D hardware of your computer) for displaying pictures. The advantage lies in very fast and high-quality scalings (screenshot) that are thus possible, however, the program requires more Video-RAM than conventional picture viewers. Datatypes are used for loading the pictures. Voodoo graphics cards are not supported yet. (cg) (Translation: cad)

BBoAH: Complete outage of the German mirror
Due to a complete outage of our hoster, the German mirror of the BBoAH is not accessible at the moment. Since, therefore, no Mails can be received and sent either, it is asked to send important Mails anew when the hoster is back on the Net.

We thank you for your understanding and refer to the English main pages on amiga-hardware.com until then. (cg) (Translation: cad)

Development environment: Cubic IDE available (formerly known as GoldED Studio)
As announced was GoldED Studio with the new version renamed to Cubic IDE (Integrated Development Environment). Officially supports the development enviroment by Dietmar Eilert AmigaOS 3.x and MorphOS 1.4.x.

Below's an translation of the official German press release about Cubic IDE:
Cubic IDE is an development environment for AmigaOS and MorphOS.

ABOUT CUBIC IDE

The main part of Cubic IDE is the editor GoldED 8. Next to this the package contains several free C/C++ compilers like GCC, the HTML environment Webworld, a LISP interpreter, the spell checking software Joyce, Roget's Thesaurus, authors modes for Rexx macros and installations and further parts. Cubic IDE supports developers from the writing of the source codes and the documentation (AmigaGuide and AutoDoc modes) to the creation of installations with the installation wizard that is part of the package. Cubic IDE integrates seamless into SAS/C, vbcc, GCC and the StormC3 development environment:
  • Debuggersupport for users of StormC3: breakpoints are shown next to the text
  • a configurable reference system for autoDocs, includes, source codes and other material helps you to find information in a quick way
  • the QuickInfo function shows always information for the word under the cursor (e.g. prototypes of the OS functions)
  • the QuickFunc navigation shows all functions, structures etc. that are definde in the source code
  • inbuilt grep support allows you to search for (and replace) patterns in a list of files

CUBIC IDE REPLACES GOLDED STUDIO AIX

The software's name until now was GoldED Studio AIX and the internal name was GoldED 7 (upgrades for GoldED AIX users are available on the Cubic IDE website, log in). The new name was chosen to better reflect the content. The first new version number is 1.0, a compromise between an editor on the level of 8.0 and an IDE on the level of 0.4 :) And here's the new logo.

CUBIC IDE KAUFEN

The list price is 69.90 EUR. During the first week there's an introducting price of 49.90 EUR. The software can be bought in the Cubic IDE Webshop.

Linux: REBOL-Update
Carl Sassenrath`s independent platform script language REBOL has been updated for Linux/PPC.

The Genesi-PPC-Build of REBOL/Core was updated. Besides this the support of REBOL/View was added for this system which is the graphical version of REBOL.

Furthermore the new REBOL Virtual Machine ("rebcode") is supported which will be finished soon. According to Carl Sassenrath with VM you can get a ten to twenty times faster performance for special kinds of mathematic and graphical applications.

Meanwhile Genesi continues its T-Shirt offer for beta testers. (snx) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: Shared compiling via several computers
Steven Solie has ported the distcc-packet (client & server) in version 2.18.3-1 as well as the parallel working possibilities of GNU make in version 3.81b3-1 for AmigaOS 4.

Thus owners of several computers which work with AmigaOS 4 and which have the OS4-SDK installed can share the compiling processes on these ones.

Because of still missing functions of the operating system as well as clib2-ts limitations this ports still are beta versions. A completely working version can be not expected until there will be updates for AmigaOS 4 and clib2.
