AmigaOS 4: Status update on WebKit port
In keeping with today's Advent calendar door, George 'walkero' Sokianos has just given a status update on the work on the WebKit port for AmigaOS 4 which started at the beginning of November (amiga-news.de reported):

According to this, the team around him would have reached one of their milestones by successfully compiling the JavaScriptCore (JSC) library together with the test binaries. Afterwards, he would have successfully tested it on his system under various conditions, with one exception (pthread).

On GitHub the problems are documented which the team was faced as well as information on the development environment can be found.

As a next step, he would now try to make changes to be able to compile the files with newlib as well. If this is not possible, he will provide all the necessary information so that missing parts can be added. (dr)

Porting Amiga applications to Linux: AxRuntime 41.4
Krzysztof 'deadwood' Śmiechowicz' "AxRuntime" is a runtime environment for Linux which emulates the AmigaOS-API and therefore enables porting Amiga applications on Linux and developing applications which can be compiled for AmigaOS/MorphOS/AROS as well as Linux (amiga-news.de reported). Under Windows it is possible to use it by the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), which has been generally available for Windows 10 and 11 in the Microsoft Store since the end of November (amiga-news.de reported). The new version is based on the recently released version 20221221-1 of the ABI v11 developer branch and introduces, among other things, the Zune prefs V0.2 and the editor V1.1 (YouTube video). (dr)

AROS x86_64: Update of ABI-v11 developer branch
The AROS developer Krzysztof 'deadwood' Śmiechowicz had given his stable branch of AROS for 64-bit Intel and AMD processors the code name 'ABIv11' to distinguish it from the in-progress ABIv1 version in the main AROS repository. It has now updated this to version "20221221-1". The new release includes improvements and fixes made since March 2022. Among improvements is the major work done on Scalos during summer to fix multiple compatibility, stability and 64-bit problems. (dr)

ReAction-GUI for XAD: Avalanche 1.9 for AmigaOS 3 and 4
Chris Young has released version 1.9 of his ReAction-based graphical user interface Avalanche for the unarchiving system XAD, which also supports the xfdmaster.library and can search for viruses using the xvs.library. The developer has written his tool explicitly for AmigaOS 3.2, but has also been tested under AmigaOS 4. Since it uses a new window.class, it might not work with older OS3 versions. Changes:
  • Add "snapshot window" option:
    • note that the position is not saved unless save is clicked in prefs
  • Add ToolType to disable the ASL hook (filters ASL req to only show archives)
  • Add ToolType to set the initial drawer visible in ASL requester
  • Fix iconify
  • Rebuilt with optimisations
(dr)

Amiga Forever 10: Update 10.0.10.0
The emulator package Amiga Forever 10 (amiga-news.de reported) was updated on December 20 with version 10.0.10.0. By including WinUAE 4.10.0, the integration of a virtual modem was rounded off on the Amiga side, so that it can also be used with the programs NComm and Term.

Those who already use Amiga Forever 10 can carry out the update under "Help/About" or download the installation program again. (snx)

Audio player: AmigaAMP 3.33 released
Thomas Wenzel wrote: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! :)

Bug fixes:
  • Fixed repeat track/all functionality.
  • Corrected error message for unsupported stream format. Fixed wrong memory deallocation when closing the about requester. Revised automatic runtime switching between AHI and MHI output.
New features:
  • Added pulldown menu items for repeat track/all and shuffle.
  • Better handling of AHI modes with different limitations.
AHI has some peculiarities in that the maximum volume depends on the mode used (stereo++ or not) and the number of mixing channels. Until now, you always had to be careful not to turn it up too loud, because otherwise it would suddenly get quieter again, and with a bit of bad luck you wouldn't hear anything at all. The aim is that you don't have to worry about this any more because AmigaAMP determines the necessary limits itself. Hopefully it works for everyone. :) (dr)
