Virtual desktops for the Workbench: GoVD 2.4 with AmigaOS 4.1 compatibility
Krzysztof Donat's program GoVD makes it possible to use the Workbench on up to eight virtual screens under AmigaOS 3.2 or higher. It is possible to specify which Workbench windows and programs should use which of the screens. The current version 2.4 now also offers improved compatibility with AmigaOS 4.1.

This means that it is now possible to use the full range of functions, including the GoVD-conf configuration program, under this operating system without any restrictions in terms of options and stability.

GoVD includes the following features:
  • Up to eight independent virtual screens
  • Freely positionable panel for switching between screens
  • Keyboard shortcut support for quick screen switching and hiding
  • Integration with the Exchange Commodity
GoVD is shareware and can be used unregistered for 20 minutes at a time. Registration is based on voluntary donations, developers of Aminet-listed programs can apply for free registration. (snx)

Windows: GUI for Greaseweazle Tools - ADFDiskBox 2.4
ADFDiskBox is a graphical user interface for the Greaseweazle Host Tools and is intended to simplify the reading and writing of Amiga discs and disc images (ADF, SCP:AmigaDOS, RawSCP). Version 2.4 adds an options form to declutter the main form, changes the disk type names and adds a button to load the HxC Software. (cg)

Tool: identify library 45.0 now recognizes PCI cards
Richard “Shred” Körber's identify.library collects all kinds of system parameters and provides the user with information on CPU, FPU, memory, clock frequency, etc., for example. Version 45.0 includes support for PCI cards for the first time. The author explains the new features in this release as follows:

"In order to recognise PCI boards, the openpci.library by Thomas Richter must be installed. In addition, the database file "pci.db" from the new IdentifyPci package must be copied into the S: directory. The database is based on the work of The PCI ID Repository, but has been shrunk to a manageable floppy disc size. (I decided against using their "pci.ids" for reasons of space and performance).

The query is performed using the new IdPciExpansion() function, which works in a relatively similar way to IdExpansion() for the Zorro extensions. The supplied ListExp tool already uses the function, other tools must be extended.

PCI detection is still in the beta phase. I look forward to your feedback!

Another new feature is the category of "virtual extensions", which are not recognised at boot time but are added later. The openpci.library creates several such virtual extensions per PCI card, which quickly makes the list of Zorro extensions confusing. ListExp now only shows these extensions as a total ("+ 16 virtual extensions"). With the new VIRTUAL option, however, they can still be displayed as normal in the list.

What else? The new AmiGUS sound card is recognised. The new tag IDTAG_EmptyIfUnknown now returns an empty string for unknown manufacturers and boards (instead of the numeric ID). And I threw a few small errors out of the include files, one of them even dates back to the very early Amiga days. :D

As always, the release is already available at Codeberg or on AmiNet." (cg)

Managing ADF files: adflib V0.10.2 for Windows, Linux and macOS
Laurent Clevy first released adflib in 1999 in version 0.7.8 (Aminet). The portable C library, written mainly in C, is used to manage Amiga-formatted devices such as hard disks and ZIP disks or to swap them out via the .ADF format (amiga-news.de reported). The library is currently being developed under the responsibility of Tomasz Wolak. Changes in version 0.10.2:
  • unadf: fix extracting tree for read-only directories
It is also pointed out with regard to the Windows binaries that these apparently had unexpected dependencies on debug versions of the Visual Studio runtime DLLs, which are missing on normal Windows (without Visual Studio installed). The current version should be free of this problem, but could not be tested in advance. If anyone has the possibility to verify this, please report it in the corresponding issue of the GitHub repository. (dr)
