AmigaOS 4: Sylpheed 3.7.0 for AmiCygnix released
Edgar Schwan wrote: Version 3.7.0 of the email client Sylpheed is available for AmiCygnix (snapshot). It is based on GTK+ GUI Toolkit. The design and user interface is similar to many well-known email programs from the Windows world, such as Outlook Express.

Why another mailer? Sylpheed has a very good support of the IMAP4 protocol, which is currently only available with a few Amiga mailers. But Sylpheed also has other interesting features.

New in this release:
  • Update to the latest stable version of Sylpheed. The program was ported from scratch and some bugs were fixed that way.
  • Working remote control of Sylpheed. Sylpheed can only be started once, when started again, the options are passed to the running program.
  • Update to SQLite 3.9.3 in "bogofilter 1.2.5".
Supported protocols:
  • POP3 / APOP
  • IMAP4rev1
  • SMTP / SMTP AUTH
  • NNTP (News)
  • SSL / TLSv1 (POP3, SMTP, IMAP4rev1, NNTP)
Features:
  • multiple accounts
  • thread display
  • newsreader
  • printing
  • address book
  • templates
  • external editor (e.g. Vim, which has spell checking)
  • powerful filtering (POP3, IMAP4, local spool)
  • powerful search (query search, quick search, search folder)
  • customization of toolbar
  • mark / color label
  • and much more

Video player: Amos Anim Player V2023.08.12
The "Amos Anim Player" of the group "ELECTRIC BLACK SHEEP" is a very simple IFF-ANIM player that runs on any Amiga. It can play compressed IFF-Anim formats synchronised with a separate IFF Audio Sample (or MOD) (amiga-news.de reported). Changes since our last news item:
  • Reducer: Overal motion sensitivity is set to automatic (considering the amount of changes between frames)
  • Reducer: fine sensitivity is adjustable by user
  • Reducer: High/Normal/Low Quality option (more blocks but smaller size)
  • Reducer: Bug Fix (related to: every fourth line left some residue/arifact)
  • Player : Screen was not double buffered after reselect a new file to play.(fixed)
  • Player : Fast forward/Rew step is fixed to 100 frames, now eats less ram. Now 14 kb, previously was 720K because the program loged everey frame!
  • Reducer: Filter against noise
  • Player: Something to handle the error of Amos (when anim framesize above 40Kb)
  • Player: Fast forward/Reward is fixed, loged, saved and auto loaded if the anim is already been played. So forward is faster to use, because if the log exist.... it is a direct jump.

AMOS: Eclips animation in "Projects in the attic" updated
At the end of November, the game developer group "Electric Black Sheep" had published a collection of games under the name "Projects in the attic", which were created for test purposes with the programming language AMOS (amiga-news.de reported). Included was the game "Eclips", in which you steer an owl through a landscape that is always the same. The group added the archive "EclipsAnim.rar" to this game, which offered a complete animation in the sense of changing landscapes. This was updated today and the member Sövény Imre explained us:

"By default, I can't put a blitter object on top of an iff animation, because AMOS automatically updates the surface underneath to a previous state when the blitter object is moved.

That's why so far I could only move sprites over it, because it didn't spoil it, but in that way I could move one "large" sprite over it.

In the new upload, however, there are several large blitter objects above it. It's slow, but worth a try." (dr)

Linux: Stable long-term kernel 5.10.188 for AmigaOne X1000/X5000
Parallel to new kernels (amiga-news.de reported), Christian 'xeno74' Zigotzky also provides the latest version of the stable long-term kernel for the AmigaOne X1000 and X5000. It is suitable for old Linux distributions that do not work with the latest kernels, such as Ubuntu 10.04, or if users have problems with the latest kernels. The new version fixes the issue with the RDB (Rigid Disk Block) of an Amiga hraddrive.

Download: linux-image-5.10.188-X1000_X5000.tar.gz (71 MB) (dr)
