`11.Mar.2023`	DIY: Parallel port to SPI adapter, SD card driver 2.2 The goal of this project initiated by Niklas Ekström is to develop a cheap and easy to build SPI adapter that can be connected to the parallel port of an Amiga. In addition, the performance of the adapter should be as fast as possible (amiga-news.de reported). Today version 2.2 of the SD card driver has been released which now also supports large SD cards (> 2GB). (dr) [News message: 11.

`09.Mar.2023`	RTG driver: P96 V3.3.3 released Jens Schönfeld (individual Computers) has released version 3.3.3 of his RTG driver P96, which can be bought or downloaded from the order history at iComp. As developer Thomas Richter writes, the major feature of this release is that it offers the emulation of planar bitplanes, even if the graphics card does not support them or if a program requests more than the maximum 4 bitplanes VGA offers. That should help to promote even more legacy applications to the graphics card. To do this, "ENV:Picasso96/EmulatePlanar" must be set to "Yes" and restarted. A detailed description of the changes can be found in the English section of the iComp support forum. (dr) [News message: 09.

`08.Mar.2023` Amigans (Forum)	AmigaOS 4: C runtime library clib2 v1.0.0 beta 9 Andrea 'afxgroup' Palmate has created a fork of the official clib2 library, included in adtools. This library is exclusively for AmigaOS 4 to make it easy to maintain and to be able to add all the missing clib2 functions that are hard to add on 68k Amigas. The goal is to make it POSIX compliant and also fix any C++ problems that exist with newer compilers (amiga-news.de reported). Yesterday he has released the ninth beta version with the following changes: Added aio* POSIX functions with some minor limitations Fixed shared objects libraries (They needs a new elf.library) Added sigsetjmp/siglongjmp pthread moved into libc. libpthread however exists for compatibility reasons Some minor fixes Added more test programs (dr) [News message: 08.
