`15.Feb.2020`	Web browser: IBrowse 2.5.2 An update for the web browser IBrowse 2.5 has been released which mainly provides support for AmiSSL 4.4 and fixes some enforcer hits: AmiSSL 4.4 now required for HTTPS connections, which brings the latest OpenSSL 1.1.1d with improved TLSv1.3 support, improved performance on 68k (particularly 68060) and no longer crashes on 68020/030 without FPU (see full list of AmiSSL 4.4 changes) OS4: AmiUpdate will update installed catalog files Attempts to clean the disk cache now correctly ignored when the disk cache is completely off, fixing possible enforcer hits Fixed disk cache from only ever caching small files 68k: Fixed enforcer hits in PNG decoder when CyberGraphX is not in use (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 15.

`15.Feb.2020`	Encryption: AmiSSL 4.4 (AmigaOS 3/4) The AmiSSL library has been updated and now is compatible to the latest OpenSSL version 1.1.1d. Additionally the root certificates has been updated and diverse bug fixes and optimizations provided. The developer ask for support for porting AmiSSL to MorphOS and AROS - programmers are needed for those platforms. That's the reason AmiSSL currently is only available for AmigaOS. Changes: Updated OpenSSL backend to full compatibility to latest OpenSSL 1.1.1d (10.09.2019) version. Applications compiled with the AmiSSL 4.3 SDK will need to be recompiled to use this release (if the AmiSSL 4.0-4.2 SDK was used, those applications do not need recompiling and will automatically use AmiSSL 4.4). Updated root certificates to latest Mozilla-based bundle provided by https://curl.haxx.se/ca/ Now includes separate 68020-40 and 68060 optimised versions. Fixed poor 64-bit integer math performance (including erratic mouse movement) specific to 68060 processors, caused by software emulation of instructions not present on 68060 processors. Added 68060 optimised 64-bit multiplication routine from vbcc with permission by Frank Wille. Improved BN performance for 68060 (disabled m68k asm replacement as it's slower due to the above). Improved elliptic curve performance for all m68k processors. Fixed the OS3 target from crashing on systems with a 68020/030, but without an FPU (#37). Disabled Poly1305 FPU algorithm on Tabor A1222 (#38). Fixed TLS 1.3 cipher lookup failures on OS4, caused by compiler bug (#35). OpenSSL.doc not updated for the last 14 years, but now automatically updated for each new release. Fixed crashing OpenSSL command on OS3 (#28). Fixed OpenSSL command not making path to openssl.cnf correctly (#34). Fixed OpenSSL command -out parameter (#33). OpenSSL s_server command can now be interrupted with Ctrl-C. Install script fixes for MorphOS (#41). Fixed include files for vbcc/m68k compilation (#20). Minor improvements/fixes. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 15.

`13.Feb.2020` amigaworld (Webseite)	New orders in legal dispute between Cloanto and Hyperion In the last two trials between (among others) Cloanto and Hyperion, which both are tried by the same judge, new orders have been given. Die the action for infringement of trade mark rights C-A Acquisition Corp and Cloanto against Hyperion, in which both plaintiffs could obtain a default judgement due to Hyperion's inactivity, is suspended until a previous dispute has been solved. In the previous dispute, between Amino, Itec, Amiga Inc. and Cloanto on the one hand and Hyperion on ther other hand, Cloanto obviously has requested the court - the relevant document is not publicly available - for an alternative dispute resolution. But the judge denied: "The Court does not believe that such is required at this point, as the parties have recently participated in settlement discussions (we reported) and can continue to do so voluntarily."

`12.Feb.2020`	Text adventure: Eight Feet Under The text adventure "Eight Feet Under", previously been a free addon for purchasers of Hibernated Collector's Edition, now is available for free download. According to the developers "t's essential to complete the main game first. The addon takes a less narrative and more puzzle-oriented approach." (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 12.

`12.Feb.2020`	AmigaOS-4-Cross compiler: GCC 8.3.0 for MacOS X Costel 'Cyborg' Mincea has compiled GCC 8.3.0 as AmigaOS-4-Cross compiler for MacOS. After extracting the archive you have to edit the PATH so Mac OS will find binary file in /usr/local/amiga/bin. The SDK-53.30 includes have to be copied to /usr/local/amiga/ppc-amigaos/SDK. Mincea did successfully a short test but a proper practical test is still pending. Linking C++ code is a little bit special due to the beta status of the used compiler from the adtools project. Direct download: ppc-amigaos-gcc-8.3.0-macosx-20200210.tar.bz2 (57 MB) (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 12. Feb. 2020, 23:46] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
