MakeHTMLMap: Update version 4.017 to fix some errors
Roland Heyders Shareware-Program MakeHTMLMap is update to version 4.017. The software createds Picture-galeries and online-shops. The Systemrequirements are AmigaOS 2.04 and 2 MB RAM. This update fixed some errors during naming of PHP-files.

Statement of Roland Heyder (in german): "Ja, ja, da hat Murphys Gesetz mal wieder voll zugeschlagen. Kaum hab' ich die brandneue V4.000 von MakeHTMLMap veröffentlicht, da entdecke ich eine Woche später den entscheidenden Fehler, der auf Grund seiner 'Offensichtlichkeit' bei allen Tests bis dahin unentdeckt blieb.

Selbstverständlich sollte natürlich bei jeder Datei, wo PHP-Code drin ist, auch PHP drauf-/dranstehen. D.h. daß solche Dateien in der Form #?.php? gespeichert werden und nicht als #?.html; anderenfalls kommt es zu unerwünschten Effekten, wenn diese Dateien auf einem Server abgelegt werden, welcher in HTML-Dateien kein PHP interpretiert (hängt von der Serverkonfiguration ab).

Hier ist nun also das entsprechend korrigierte Programmarchiv, kein großartiger Bugfix aber um so mehr ein wichtiger, um die Funktion der generierten Galerien bzw. Online-Shops auf allen Servern (mit PHP-Unterstützung) sicherzustellen."

MorphOS: MLdonkey 2.6.3 veröffentlicht
MLdonkey is a multi-platform multi-networks peer-to-peer client. Originally, it was the first open-source client to access the eDonkey network. The protocol was 'reverse-engineered' using an efficient protocol sniffer, Pandora.

The MorphOS port of the client has been updated to version 2.6.3 and can be downloaded at the title link.

Changes in the MorphOS release package:
  • new build 2.6.3 (see below)
  • tools (ed2k_hash, get_range, make_torrent, etc.) added again
  • new server.ini
  • up-to-date guardian.p2p
  • "MLdonkey" startscript changed to handle mlnet.pid after system crash and different locations of the settings directory
  • updated documentation (... and please RTFM!)
Important changes in mlnet since last MorphOS release:

Core:
  • create ini file backups on shutdown
  • bunch of new options to handle backup of the config files (with "tar.gz" and "zip" support)
  • Better clear Fifo buffers
  • server support for IPBlock
  • let MLDonkey create its data in $HOME/.mldonkey, but use relative path if downloads.ini is present
  • Kick uploaders which send no data for more than 1 minute
  • Access to disk data (free space, max file name length)
  • support guarding.p2p in zip/gz/bz2 format
  • New option: create_dir_mask, new directories in incoming_directories are created with these rights.
  • More infos for mem_stats
  • Telnet: Show BT hash in "vd num"
  • Clean core startup messages and log output
  • Check accessibility of used directories on core startup
  • Log: Improve output for verbosity "hid"
  • HTML: Search results: new colums for Bitrate, Codec and length
  • HTML: few fixes / new option html_frame_border true|false
BitTorrent:
  • Allow seeding
  • create_torrent: default_tracker and default_comment
  • Fix options parsing
  • Some small fixes for messages interested and cancel
  • Statistics, recognize more clients, min_interval, torrents/old and more...
  • move .torrent to torrents/old if the file is not shared anymore
  • new command rm_old_torrents: delete all files in torrents/old
  • MLdonkey computes a BT-compatible client_uid starting with "-ML"
  • Multitracker support for downloading
eDonkey:
  • compatibleclient 40 -> Shareaza
  • Fix disconnect state with verbosity = "hid"
  • Control identified versions
  • Files copied to incoming dir for sharing do not appear in upstats after hashing
  • Re-enable source exchange with eMule clients
  • Avoid saving sources every save_options_delay
  • new command "reset_stats"
  • don't ask clients for non-downloading files
  • "server met" command now responds with a clearer answer
  • Improve update_server_list
  • Dont remove prefered server if server_users < min_users_on_server
  • send emule_version to servers
Other Networks
  • Fasttrack: Force commit of all complete files
  • Gnutella/G2: Fix commit if no TigerTree is available
  • Gnutella/G2: Update Webcache URLs
  • HTTPClient: Implement retries for failed requests

Laser inscription with Amiga motifs, Part III
amiga-news.de reader Gernot "Gerry" Stühn had already made promotions multiple times, where Amiga users could get individual laser engravings on (for instance) stainless steel cups. Because of the surprisingly good response at that time, he would like to submit such an offer again. Stühn writes:

"As you still surely know, some time ago I had started an attempt to revive the Amiga and its corresponding remaining spirit again. In collaboration with my company, I had offered some products for laser engraving.

The response for this spontaneous promotion was amazingly good. Unfortunately, or, put another way, thank God, I am now no longer working at my former employer, "Lasertechnologie Winter." But in a short time I will consult four local laser companies, among others, about my new concept (am now self-employed). Thus, another chance to bring up some things, also in the Amiga domain again, arises of course, which could go in the direction of stainless steel unicums in matters of laser inscription.

But for this, I must necessarily know if there is still interest at all. Please use the contact form on my page for this (alternative link). I would be glad if we wangled it one more time.

AMIGA rulez..
Greetings,
Gerry ;)" (cg) (Translation: cad)
