First screenshot of "Civilisation - Call to Power" for OS4
Thomas van Spitjoud is currently working on the port of the
strategical "Civilisation - Call To Power" to be released
for the upcoming AmigaOS 4.0. On his webpage under the
title link he pusblished the first public screenshot of the
alpha-version ctp2 v0.1 so people can see it is real. For now
the game only runs in window-mode, there is no sound yet and
of course the overall stability is quite bad so a first
beta version is expected to be released not earlier than
in a few weeks. (nba) (Translation: nba)

ArakAttack USB Driver V0.95 Beta available for testing
Guido Mersmann just uploaded a new beta version of ArakAttack which is
available for downloading (268 KB). This version contains many rewritten parts, so Mersmann
deceided to upload a beta for testing. It's running as good as the prior
version on the developer system. If less devices (of course also more) are
working or you get other problems, then please send a message to the
developer. This version needs half as much memory, less CPU time and
should work a little faster.
Special Note for users of G-Rex/Pegasos:
The chance that ArakAttack is working on G-Rex increased a lot. On the
bad side openpci still does not contain a pci address calculation
function, with forced Mersmann to write a work around (again). This time
the work around is less compatible and may not work. If V0.95 is not
working on Pegasos anymore, then keep the 0.94 until there is an openpci
update. (nba) (Translation: nba)

AWeb: Overview page of the features in development
Our new Work Overview page will help us getting more structure in future
development of AWeb. It's Bugzilla with a friendlier face. :-)
http://hmk.naff.dk/overview.php (this link may change)
In other news, the GCC conversion of AWeb APL Lite is progressing very
well, as the first tests shows a fairly stable internal release of the
full program. All parts have been converted now, which means in theory,
it should be possible to create a native AmigaOS4 version. If anyone
wants to do that, contact us.
Hopefully we can get a beta out soon, and work towards a 3.5 release.
Regards,
AWeb Development Team (snx)

IOSPIRIT: Medusa USB Bundle available
IOSPIRIT announces the immediate availability of Medusa USB, a driver
package enabling the use of OnBoard- and PCI-USB-controllers under
Amithlon and other supported PCI-solutions.
Medusa USB contains full versions of the USB-stack Poseidon, the
PCI-USB-driver ArakAttack and special full versions of the IOUSB DigiCam
and IOUSB Scanner packages.
Medusa USB enables users of Amithlon and other supported hardware, to
completly avoid the purchase and installation of additional USB-hardware
and instead make use of already existant OnBoard-controllers, thereby
saving precious PCI-slots.
About Poseidon
The Poseidon USB Stack is a software solution that unleashes the
possibilities of the Universal Serial Bus (USB) and the devices with USB
interface. It is intended to be a solution for all systems.
Poseidon has a modular design that fits into the AmigaOS environment very
neatly. It is no port of an existing system (like the Linux USB stack),
but has been created with the unique features of AmigaOS in mind that make
the operation system so efficient. Already in 2002 Poseidon received the
Amiga Award as best Amiga software.
About ArakAttack
ArakAttack is a USB driver-package for Poseidon, with which USB shall be
made possible on every PCI-capable AmigaOS. The supported standards
currently include UHCI and OHCI. Nearly every PCI-USB-board or
USB-OnBoard controller are compatible with one of these standards. A list
of already tested devices can be found in the respective subpages of the
Medusa USB product pages.
About IOUSB Scanner and DigiCam Package
As a bonus, the IOUSB packages, which for the first time allow the use of
USB-scanners and -digicams, are contained in special SE-versions (equal to
the full versions in functionality). However, since it's a free bonus and
testing with all possible hardware combinations was impossible, these
SE-versions come without support and functional guarantee.
Compatibility
ArakAttack usually should work with every OnBoard- and PCI-controller
supported by PowerPCI (Amithlon) and OpenPCI. Nonetheless, it is possible
that in certain constellations and especially with PCI-solutions not, not
fully or not error-free supported by OpenPCI (Mediator, Prometheus,
G-Rex), there can be compatibility problems. It is thus recommended
to download the demo versions of Poseidon and ArakAttack and to test it
for compatibility with the hardware in use prior to the purchase.
Availability
Medusa USB is immediately available as download version for 34.99 EUR and
as package version (with certificate) for 44.99 EUR. Dealer inquiries
desired. (nba)

Sometime between Friday, January 9th and Monday, January 12th, the Amiga portal amiga.org will be taken offline for an unspecified time to accomplish maintenance and upgrades. During this time, and for a while afterwards, e-mail forwarding will not work. They report they've been planning these actions for quite a while, but the changes are quite in-depth, and prone to error.
Contrary to circulating rumor, Amiga.org is not being retired at this time. They state they will be back ASAP. More information about the changes and new features will be made available after their return to service. (cg) (Translation: dm)

Sorry for the inconvenience, but imagine, we added

Cloanto: Personal Paint 7.1 for AmigaOS 4.0
Seattle, WA - January 6, 2004 - Amiga Inc. and Cloanto are
delighted to announce that Personal Paint 7.1 will be available
on the upcoming AmigaOS 4.0 operating system.
The Personal Paint series of 2D graphics and animations
applications has been a mainstay of the application base for
the Amiga platform ever since its introduction in 1992 and it
is also a star attraction of the Cloanto Amiga Forever package.
As Cloanto considers a new version of the product for AmigaOS
4.0, it has decided to show its commitment to the Amiga
platform and community by making the source code of the current
version available to Amiga Inc., allowing them to create a
PowerPC native version for the upcoming AmigaOS 4.0 product.
The created binaries will be owned by Cloanto but will be made
available for free download from the Amiga and Cloanto web
sites.
Cloanto and Amiga are also in talks concerning a new version of
Amiga Forever, as well as a special version of Amiga Forever
for AmigaOS 4.0, which aims to provide chipset-level Classic
Amiga compatibility integrated with the new generation Amiga
operating system and hardware.
