Status report: "Die Kleine Gilde II" & SN-archives
Since the last version of the realtime strategy simulation called "Die Kleine Gilde II"
there have been some changes.
For details please have a look at the developer-diary.
The new version of Die Kleine Gilde II is in beta test and will be published in one
or two weeks. If you have suggestions, bug reports, registrations or simply some feedback
you can contact this special
e-mail-address.
News from the SN-archives:
Since November the account management called "SN-KontoArchiv II" is in development.
The input of account data has already finished. Currently the input and output statistics
are added. SN-KontoArchiv II is the successor of SN-KontoArchiv I and ist not
compatible to the previous version because all source code of this version has vanished.
SN-KontoArchiv will be part of "SN-Archiv-Paket".
Those ones who have already registered can also use SN-KontoArchiv II without any restrictions
Status of SN-EuroArchiv II:
SN-EuroArchiv 1.9 is also in work. The entry list can be now adapted with up to
17 columns. The HTML-support for KMS and special coins was also improved.
Now it is possible to determine the colour of special coins in KMS (KMS-HTML-site) or
to determine the special coin from the KMS (special coin-HTML-site).
Just like above: Send suggestions, bug reports, registrations or other feedback to
this e-mail-address. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Database: MUIbase V1.9
Today version 1.9 of the Amiga-database MUIbase was published. News and
improvements in this version:
- New program functions: DAY, MONTH, YEAR, DATEDMY, MONTHDAYS, YEARDAYS, ADDMONTH, ADDYEAR, APPLY
- Improvements for TRIMSTR and REPLACESTR
- New start functions when double clicking in virtual lists
- Internal optimations which speeds up Lisp-code
- Better support for Amiga OS4
- Option for external program sources
Besides this there is now a MUIbase "light" version which does not have all the functions
of MUIbase. Structure editor, program editor and ARexx-port are missing. MUIbase light
can be freely copied and is available for i386 Linux and Windows.
A GTK V2.4 installation is required. In future MUIbase light will be completed to a
full version.
For discussions and feedback concerning MUIbase there is a
mailing list.

AmigaOS 4: Movie-Player "Mplayer" Preview 4 (Update)
Under the title-link you'll find a new beta version of OS 4 port of Mplayer (screenshot). The most important changes in comparison to the last release:
- Speed raised about 25-30 %
- New video and audio drivers (vo sdl, ao sdl, vo jpg, vo png). Full-screen display is possible without any problems using the SDL drivers (change to it from window mode and back with "f"). Because of missing hardware support the full-screen mode is still relatively slow. The JPEG and PNG drivers convert a video to a series of single pictures
- Streaming video/audio is supported (untested)
- Support for "playlists"
- Support for more codecs
Known problems:
- The SDL drivers fails to start when there is no corresponding resolution available

Tales of Tamar: New Amiga Version 0.53-R2
Beloved Amiga Community, the time has finally come that we release a new Amiga version. Only now, finally, has it become ready, and we're now going to demonstrate our unbroken Amiga loyalty.
Perhaps we can also tempt you to participate in this unique roleplaying game. With the action of the "Great War of Anarrow" we gives you the possibility of participating in this game and its special community. It is of no import to us which computers you use. It's all the same whether you choose Pegasos, AmigaOne, UAE, Amithlon, Classic Amiga, PC or Mac. They all have the possibility of participating at least in the shareware version. Become acquainted with nice humans and to increase your circle of friends.
Further, we'd like to notify you that Amiga dealers already offer Tales of Tamar at reasonable prices. It's been available on eBay for about a year for 9.90 euros (approx. 14 dollars -DM) and at Vesalia the remaining stock is 39.90 euros (approx 65 dollars -DM). As soon as this remaining stock is gone however, the price will rise.
[long, long list of new features and much other article text not translated -DM]
We wish you a lot of fun with the new version, and remind you to first make a backup, before you install the new version, you never know what could happen!
-Your ToT team

MorphOS: Developer Utility ChocolateCastle Released
With ChocolateCastle V0.1 Grzegorz 'Krashan' Kraszewski has released a tool that helps programmers to assemble BOOPSI and MUI classes (screenshot).
ChocolateCastle provides systems for such classes on the basis of the developer's defaults. You can indicate the name of the class, the superclass, the generating method (including the respective dispatcher entry) and the message structure that is used. The program produces compiler-ready source code as framework for the programmer to further fill out.
Extension of ChocolateCastle's functionality is planned for future versions by the incorporation of shared LIBRARIES, external Boopsi and MUI classes, as well as complete MUI applications further in the future. Comments, suggestions, feature requests and bug reports are welcomed by the author.

Update of xml2.library to Version 4.0
Newly-available Version 4.0 of xml2.library allows the reading, processing, and writing of XML and HTML data.
The DTD support contains the analysis and validation of even complex DTDs, either during the parser entry or later after the modification of the document. The output is achieved in a simple SAX stream or a DOM-resembling representation in memory. In the latter case the built-in XPath and XPointer implementations are used in order to select subnodes or ranges. A flexible input/output mechanism is available with existing HTTP and FTP modules combined in a URI library.
