New FAQ Page for HIGHWAY / SUBWAY
E3B is offering a compilation of frequently-asked questions (and answers) on their website. If you have USB problems they recommend that you first take a quick look there, perhaps the problem is already known and may be easily solved.

This FAQ is offered as support for customer service. If you have problems or questions E3B is also available by email, of course! (ps) (Translation: dm)

CVS


Developer tool: CVS version 1.11.4 AmigaOS/MorphOS port
By the title link there is the latest update of the Amiga and MorphOS port of CVS (Concurrent Versions System) available which was done by Olaf Barthel and Jens Langner. The current version is 1.11.4. Please see the included ChangeLog.

Download: cvs-1.11.4.lzx - 982 KB

CVS is a tool for programers which simplifies the version control of source code a lot. More known from Unix/Linux these ports may be useful for one or another using AmigaOS or MorphOS. (ps) (Translation: ub)

Amiforce: Amiblitz2.27 update
Unfortunately it has been very quiet around Amiforce due to lack of time and other projects. Now it's going on. The start is a new update archive of Amiblitz2.27.

For the usage there is a full distribution of Amiblitz 2.26 is required. The FAQ has partially translated to German and will soon be completed.

In the next days an updated distribution will be released. The following things will soon be changed/expanded:
  1. AmiblitzML files archive:
    All data which were posted to the German mailing list will be put inside a public folder so every user can access it.
  2. SN archive will be expanded
  3. At the "Gamesfun" area the will be added the section "Classicgaming" which will offer some never before released games.
  4. The music area gets a new track. ;)
The last poll is finished now and the results can be viewed at the start site. The favoured topic will be featured soon. (ps) (Translation: ub)

Amiga-Mediaplayer version 2.9
Update of the 'Amiga-Mediaplayer'. New: Start of the TV window or 'Frogger' after a context change, save function for the radio frequency list, possibility for changement of single frequencies within the list and fix the new entries, TV/radio switch keeps the last chosen radio frequency. Optimization of the source code.

Shortcuts:
  • Return: Opens the Frogger ASL requester for media data
  • Esc: Quits the mediaplayer window
  • F1: Opens a context changer window "Changer"
  • F: Fixes the new radio frequencies within the frequency list
  • S: Saves the new radio frequency list


Function:
To change the radio frequency list a number key has to be stroken first. Then it is possible to change the tuner frequency with the up ">>|" and down "|<<" arrows inside the mediaplayer window in 10KHz quantities. If the desired frequency is reached only the "F" key has to be hit and the new value is fixed. Now this frequency can't be changed any more. If this new value should be to find at every start of the Mediaplayer the "S" key has to be pressed. Then the frequency list will be rewritten within the program directory, including the changed frequencies.

TTEngine 6.0 and TTManager 1.1
TTEngine 6.0 and TTManager 1.1 have been released. New features:

  • Font requester in TTEngine. From user point of view it looks almost the same as ASL font requester that every Amigan is familiar with. The font requester uses data stored in "ttengine.database" file and is an easiest way to use the database with applications. Requester gadgetry is based on GadTools to keep independence of disk-based GUI packages and the look consistent with ASL. Three new functions in the library API have been introduced to handle the requester: TT_AllocRequest(), TT_RequestA() and TT_FreeRequest(). See autodoc file for details. Currently the font requester provides only the basic functionality - font family and size - and will be extended in the future versions in the compatible manner (TT_RequestA() is taglist based much like ASL). A new version of "PlainTest" example program uses the font requester.

  • Internal: Cache autooptimisation. TTEngine font cache now modifies its structure in the runtime to minimize cache search time. For example with "PlainTest" example program cache optimization lowers the number of cache search iterations from 15 500 to 6 700.

  • Cache size limit. TTEngine 6.0 font cache size is limited and the limit can be adjusted by user. This way you can avoid memory exhaustion even if working with hundreds of TrueType fonts. When the limit is reached TTEngine starts to flush unused fonts from the cache. Read more about this feature in an User's Guide document in the distributuion archive.

  • Internal: TTEngine global data acces is arbitrated with semaphores. It eliminates a rare possibility of lockups when multiple applications use TTEngine simultaneously.

  • TTManager: The database manager is now aware of cache limit setting saved in the database file.
