MorphOS: Reggae class xpk.demuxer 51.1
Grzegorz 'Krashan' Kraszewski writes: This time I have a brand new class, named xpk.demuxer. This class adds transparent support of XPK packed data streams to Reggae. It means all currently existing and future classes will be able to fetch content from any XPK compressed stream (not only a file, but also data in memory and from any other *.stream class).
The class may be also used as a nice wrapper on xpkmaster.library. For the first time the class is accompanied not only with autodoc but also a tutorial for programmers, containing example programs. The class may be downloaded from MorphOS Files.

MagicMenu now Open Source
Mario Cattaneo wrote: Since 8th June 2009 MagicMenu is Open Source. For the project was not developed further during the last years we have decided to release it as Open Source project.
Everyone can now have a look "behind the scenes". Additionally MM can be ported to other platforms. If you are interested in the project just visit the sourceforge-sites.
Still a last request: Unfortunately we do not have the archives of the "current" beta versions that means all versions after V2.30. If you should have some of these versions on your harddrive I ask you to contact me (and not to send it at once!). Thank you.

MorphOS: Reggae-Updates - multimedia.class and multiread.buffer
Grzegorz "Krashan" Kraszewski has published two updates for his multimedia library Reggae:
multimedia.class 52.14:
- New helper methods for implementing seek in subclasses: PreSeek/PostSeek pair has similar purpose as PrePull/PostPull. They do all the framework "bookkeeping", parameters verification, detection of seek past end of stream, method forwarding along the pipeline, log messages and so on. What is also important, PreSeek implements automatic "seek-by-read" fallback for not seekable data sources. Then a subclass implementor may be sure he can always perform forward seek in his demuxer/decoder, even for streams like http.stream (which is not seekable).
multiread.buffer 51.5
- No functional changes, just uses pull and seek helpers in the new multimedia.class, it requires multimedia.class 52.14+ for this reason. Updated documentation.
