MorphOS: Software News Summary
The current versions of the following programs have been compiled for MorphOS by Matthias Münch:
Likewise, there's a new port of the current BitlBee version (0.91), also from Matthias Münch. BitlBee unites multiple instant messaging services as well as the IRC protocol, whereby ICQ, AIM, Jabber and Yahoo contacts may be called up from an IRC program. The MorphOS version is at a beta stage, so feedback and bugreports are wanted, especially from MSN and Yahoo users.
Also an update of the Keymap Editor Keymorpher (71 KB) by Vladimir Javorski, has reached version 0.099. Besides bug fixing there's a new simple-dead-key conversion and a hotkey-edit mode as well as the use of NList classes for the keymap lists, which may now be used in hex mode. (snx) (Translation: dm)

New AmigaOne firmware available
Leuven, Belgium - October 6th 2004.
In preparation for the upcoming update of Amiga OS 4.0, Hyperion Entertainment is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the much improved U-Boot 1.1.1 for AmigaOne SE and XE motherboards.
New features include:
- Support for multiple graphics cards. At this time the last graphics card (usually the AGP card) is used for primary display. Later versions will include an option to choose.
- Support for booting off a Silicon Image 0680 IDE controller. This feature has to be selected manually at the moment, by entering setenv ide sii from the U-Boot shell.
- New CPU support: IBM PowerPC 750GX is now fully supported.
A problem has been fixed that made the U-Boot environment settings unavailable when rebooting from Linux.
- Support for LBA48 IDE drives, i.e. you can now boot off drives that are bigger than 160 GB.
- Support for the new Second-Level Bootloader (that can boot Linux besides AmigaOS), to be distributed with the upcoming AmigaOS 4 update.
- Numerous bug fixes and improvements.
The new U-Boot will be required for the upcoming update of Amiga OS 4.0, to be released shortly to registered AmigaOS 4.0 pre-Release owners.
The download is available in our Downloads section.

MorphOS: OGG media stream tool collection ogmtools 1.4.1 released
ogmtools allow information about, extraction from, creation or splitting of OGG media streams. OGM is used for "OGG media streams".
The archive contains:
ogmmerge
This program takes the input from several media files and joins their streams (all of them or just a selection) into an OGM.
ogminfo
This program lists information about all streams contained in an OGM including information about the codecs used.
ogmdemux
This program extracts all or only some data streams from an OGM and writes them to separate files.
ogmsplit
This program can be used to easily split an OGM file after a given size. Several OGM files will be created that each start with a keyframe.
ogmcat
This program can be used to concatenate several OGG/OGM files into one big file if they are of the same type. Please note ogmcat is not fully working yet, since it's a work in progress version.
For more information read the included documentation in AmigaGuide or man format. The MorphOS port can be downloaded from the title link. (snx)

Genesi: Pegasos II Systems enable Internet Cafe at Freescale ECS
Press release Embedded Connectivity Summit, Austin, Texas - Genesi Open Desktop Workstations based on the Pegasos II are featured in the Internet Café (photo) of the Freescale Embedded Connectivity Summit (ECS). The PowerPC® architecture, with the AltiVec SIMD engine, is an excellent alternate architecture for Linux applications. The Genesi Pegasos II system comes equipped with the MPC7447 PowerPC processors from Freescale.
"As a member of our Smart Networks Alliance Program, Genesi is a key enabler of Linux development on the PowerPC architecture. We want to encourage developers and designers to leverage the PowerPC architecture for their Linux and other PowerPC-based operating systems and applications, as this architecture can provide both performance and cost benefits for system designs and designers", said Paul Grimme, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Transportation & Standard Products Group at Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.
The machines were provided with a choice of operating systems including Gentoo, Crux, Yellow Dog and Debian GNU/Linux. Also included was MorphOS, a lightweight fully featured non-UNIX based Amiga-compatible operating system.
The Embedded Connectivity Summit is being held at the Hilton Hotel in Austin, Texas from 4-6 October. Genesi is a Gold Sponsor of ECS. (snx)

Genesi Scandinavia presents the CrabFire Multi-purpose Firewall
Göteborg, Sweden, 2004-10-01 - Newly formed Genesi Scandinavia presented the CrabFire firewall at Smart Networks Developer Forum (SNDF) in Frankfurt, Germany. The CrabFire is not only a firewall, but also a spam and virusfilter.
The firewall can be configured to filter spam and e-mail virus heading for your corporate mailserver. If your company has several office-locations one CrabFire can be placed in each office and a secure, encrypted tunnel can be opened between them. Your employers will be able to access all computers just as if they were on the same local network.
One other thing you can use your CrabFire for is Packet filtering. With this feature you can stop network users from using any Internet applications you do not want to be used -- such as peer-to-peer file sharing and instant messaging programs. Changing the service ports in these applications will not work - the CrabFire scans within the packets for signatures from these programs and will stop or log them, depending on your configuration.
The CrabFire runs on a 1GHz 7447 PowerPC processor and has 1 Gigabit Ethernet port (LAN) and 1 10/100 Mbit port (WAN). A dual-Gigabit version will be available shortly. The specifications are subject to small changes towards the final release.
Genesi Scandinavia received very positive feedback from both attendees and presenters at SNDF and we are confident that this product will be of great interest to companies all over the world. The CrabFire will be price-competitive towards competitive alternatives. We estimate this firewall will be finalized in three months.
About Genesi Scandinavia
Genesi Scandinavia is a newly formed company in Sweden. We will be producing and selling the CrabFire as well as other Genesi products. Genesi Scandinavia is privately held. The Marketing Director and Manager is Kristian Eklund.
