amiga-news.de Changing Server
Notes:
Because we are moving to another server at this time not all of the areas are working, yet.
For the time being we completely disabled the interactive part of amiga-news.de for easier
fault finding. Unfortunately currently the newsticker and mailing lists are not working, too.
Supplement 16 Nov 2000:
Unfortunately the new server appears to have a hardware defect. Because of that we are moving again. We are hoping
that amiga-news.de will be reachable again within one or two days. Please, wish us luck :-)

Amiga is back again with the new SDK (Software Development Kit), which enables
developers to create truely portable applications, entertainment software or
utilities. This SDK relieves you from working conventionel and platform dependent, and
takes a giant step in digital medias.
Hosted on a Windows system the SDK contains the revolutionary Amiga Foundation Layer,
developer tools for C, pJava, and the unbelievable VP (virtual processor), as well as
hundreds of documentation pages. The Amiga Foundation Layer is the first product to give
you a first glimps at the digital world of tomorrow at enormous speed, extended multimedia
capabilities, and outstanding binary portability.
If you are a software developer, if you own a x86 system, and if you find those
all-the-time-all-the-same old models of operating-systems boring, then this might
become the beginning of a new life for you.
Important: This product is only meant for use on PCs with x86 processor and an already
installed Windows!

RC5-Client V2.8011 Build 464b
On 10 November 2000 version 2.8011 Build 464b of the RC5-client for Amiga was released.
Along with bugfixes and enhancements speed of the version for PPC processors for OGR has
been optimised. Now the client is up to 39% faster on 603e, and up to 70% faster on 604e.
All users of PPC once again can deal with cracking of OGR-24- and OGR-25- sections pass 2,
which are spread now. Sections which have not been cracked yet belong to these. OGR-26 will
be spread if the newly released sections of pass 2 are entirely processed. Furthermore the
statistics are online again.

Demo Version v44.40 of the HSMathLibs for MC68040/060
Matthias Henze wrote:
After a very long time there is a "new" demo version. This version corresponds
to the full version v44.40 from 30.01.1999. Only the installer script and the
manuals, which are available in 14 languages, got a rework.
I've decided to release this little older version because everytime soon after
the release of a new demo version a cracked version of this was available.
To give the honest users a small advantage over the crackers and software pirates
the v44.41 will be available ONLY to registered users for the time being.

Amiga Archive: Download via HTTP Recommended
Patrick Roberts (Web-Server "zAMilo") has recommended on the Open Amiga mailing list
to use the HTTP protocol for downloads of the Amiga archive. Downloads via HTTP
have the advantage of being counted and displayed directly on this page.
He himself and probably other programmers, too, orientate their priorities for
the software development along these numbers.
At the moment there are many games in the Top 10 of the downloads.
For him this means to concentrate on games for , as this is the software genre
which is most wanted by the people.

Amiga: Information about SHEEP
Gary Peake has posted some information about SHEEP on the Open Amiga mailing
list. SHEEP is a programming language in development by Wouter van Oortmerssen
(Amiga E) specially for AmigaDE.
The language can be used as interpreter and as compiler language (VP-code). The
speed of the compiled code is said to be comparable to that of C++/Java.
The pattern matching of SHEEP won't be restricted to strings but can be used on
every data structure. For this the language will contain an own variant for the
pattern matching. In addition to this the kn regular expressions (Perl) will
be supported. It is not decided until whether this will happen as a separate
feature or via utility functions.
The language will offer an interface to write extensions for SHEEP. This will
allow to write them in every language that supports the Amiga-Object-system, for
example VP-assembler or Ansi-C.
(VP is the virtual processor of the Amiga/TAO system)

A new Message about iFusion
Original message:
«We have encountered a few problems with the compiler we were using for
the Amiga. Today, H&P (makers of the compiler) are to email us a new
(corrected) version that should fix the problems that we have run into.
It came to the point where we could no longer make work-arounds for the
compiler errors.
We would like to publically thank H&P for their continued support of
this project! The Amiga version of iFUSION is the base code for the PC
port.»
