Aminet: Status-Update December 2006
Press release: The calm season has come again. But while other people are preparing Christmas we still have improved Aminet further:
The search function now allows to search through archives: If you are looking for some certain library or header-file you can go to Advanced Search -> Contents.
Additional to the download statistics now the figures of the downloads are shown - you can now sort your search results by popularity!
Searching through the readme-files was accelerated and besides this the standard search function was extended so you can now specify path names: Just like the old Aminet search function "quake game/shoot" now shows only results from this directory.
The Web-based Upload-Interface was completely revised. Uploader can choose if you want to upload a written readme or if you would rather enter the information in a formular.
With us2.aminet.net an American mirror is available again. You can access us2.aminet.net only via HTTP.
Additionally there are many improvements and minor bug fixes. Please have a look at Changelog for further details.
A last note: In 2006 we had more uploads than in 2005, 2004 and 2003 - even in 1992 as the Aminet started we had not so many uploads. Currently we need only 130 uploads to reach 2002.
Greetings,
The Aminet-Team (cg) (Translation: dr)

IRC-client: Wookiechat 2.4.1 beta 2
James Carroll has published a new beta version of his MUI-based IRC-clients Wookiechat for AmigaOS 3/4. Changes since the last publication:
- Attempt to fix up crashing when closing second networks
- Parting channels on the Serenity IRC network no longer crashes. This
network for some reason doesnt follow the IRC RFC exactly, and it was affecting Wookie badly.
- Beta 2: The ignore function now ignores /notice messages
- Beta 2: Testing new smaller tab sizes.

AmigaOne: Revised Linux kernel
Under the title link, a revised Linux kernel of version 2.6.16.35 for the AmigaOne was released by Gerhard Pircher as announced. Furthermore, the AmigaOne kernel 2.6.8 was changed again.
Changes:
- Recompiled the 2.6.8 kernel, as there was a minor bug in the platform setup code
- The 2.6.8 kernel includes modules for Mac-On-Linux 0.9.70:
I don't know if Mac OS X will work, but I was able to load the yaboot bootloader within MOL and the system didn't lock up
- The 2.6.16.35 kernel supports USB EHCI. Thanks again to Marcus Comstedt for the patch
- Removed the transfer request limit for IDE LBA48 devices:
Please report if you experience DMA timeout errors. I couldn't reproduce them, thus I hope the workaround is not needed anymore

AmigaOS 4: patch for using TD64 file systems
Fredrik Wikstrom's td64 patch enables the use of TD64 file systems under AmigaOS 4 - e.g. the 68k versions of the NTFileSystem or the
FATFileSystem.
The NSD device drivers of AmigaOS 4 (e.g. the a1ide.device) are modified in a way that they also support the TrackDisk64 standard
(TD64). The latter was suggested in 1996 by Ralph Babel and supported by a group
of developers; later on did Ralph Schmidt distribute such a patch for the FastFileSystem.
Both implementations, TD64 and NSD, are a 64 bit enhancement to read and write from/to harddisks bigger than 4 GB in size.
While TD64 had been used among others by phase 5 controllers became the New Style Device standard (NSD) by Heinz Wrobel under
AmigaOS 3.5 official part of the operating system.
With AmigaOS 4 the usage of NSD is kept upright and in MorphOS TD64 is continued.
With this background TD64 file systems - like the support of NTFS, EXT2, XFS and FAT created by Marek Szyprowski originally for MorphOS and
also for AmigaOS/68k released - couldn't be used
until now under AmigaOS 4.
Please note, though, that this is the first version of the td64patch and that the author hasn't made ample tests. The use is therefore at
one's own risk.

Programming language: PureBasic becomes freeware, sources partly released
The Amiga version of the BASIC dialect PureBasic isn't continued anymore so that the developer has decided to release the whole package as freeware and to make parts of the source code publicly available.
Released were the source code of the complete command set, the IDE (Integrated Develepment Environment) as well as the source codes for some tools.
The compiler is for all versions of PureBasic identical - as the Windows, Mac OS X and Linux versions are still distributed commercially theses source codes aren't available.
People who make improvements in the code of PureBasic are invited to make these available to the original developer so that they can be implemented in future Amiga versions. The PureBasic developer agrees to port the newest built of the compiler for such versions to the Amiga.

Dream 17: Request for support
Dream 17 is a tribute to the game developers of Team 17 which are responsible for such titles like Worms or the Alien Breed serie. Additional to detailed information, screenshots and other specials at Dream 17 you can find all Amiga titles of the game developers for legal download.
Under the title link Dream 17 asks for support because in the next year the current server which was for free cannot be used any longer and a commercial one must be used.
The maintainers of the site ask for donations via PayPal to keep this offer alive.
Above all support is required for selling fan articles. Therefore somebody is needed who at least can create a vector graphic of the Dream 17 logo.
