AmigaOS 4: RTG-Patch for Lightwave 3.5+
The Preview-Function of the favorit Raytracers Lightwave needs the
Amiga-Customchips as requirement, so the program did not work on a
AmigaOne. With Stephen Fellners RTG-Patch is this problem gone and
Lightwave works without problems on machines without custom-chips.

AmigaOS 4: archiver frontend Cranu 0.2
Cranu is virtually the counterpart to Unarc: a graphical user interface to easily create LhA, LZX, Zip, tgz or tar.bz2 archives (screenshot). Using so called "profiles" Cranu can be extended by the user to support further archive formats.
Changes in version 0.2:
- Removed debug accidentally left in 0.1
- If adding a large directory takes longer than 2 seconds, a progress window now appears so you can see the program is working. It also contains an abort button.
- Added the ability to archive files from higher in the directory tree

MorphOS: Daily CVS builds of Ambient
Experienced MorphOS users who would like to give the latest Ambient CVS compiles a try, can now find daily builds at the easier to remember URLs ambient.pegasos.org or ambient-desktop.org, ambient-desktop.net and ambient-desktop.com.
Required are MorphOS 1.4.5 and MUI 4 alpha. Please also note the following warnings:
- Warning: No documentation. Daily builds do not include documentation
- No support: Due to the nature of daily builds, no support can be provided
- No Installer: You must be capable of moving files to their proper locations yourself before attempting to use a daily build
- Changelog: Go over the changes carefully before downloading and installing a new build
- Dynamic Functionality: Function availability is dependent upon build development, and any given function or group of functions may be disabled in a daily build
- Use backups: It is highly suggested that regular backups are performed when using Daily builds
If you feel that anything from the list above is overly complicated, too difficult, or more than you can handle, please consider limiting yourself to the latest officially released version of Ambient. (snx)

MorphOS: Interest in DVB-S playback software? (Update)
At the title link, MorphZone published information by Ralph Schmidt about a MorphOS program for DVB-S playback (support for DVB-T and DVB-C could be added by some further work as well). It's been used for prototyping the technology and thus not fully polished yet to be useful for sale.
Therefore there is the question if there is a big enough interest for such a program to justify polishing it to sell it. A few unsharp cam pictures of it with a down-scaled window are available at MorphOS-News.de. A poll for the interest in this software will be added at MorphZone as soon as some technical difficulties will be solved.
Update: (11:18, 11.02.06, snx)
Meanwhile the poll is online at MorphZone and can be found on the left side of the main page. (cg) (Translation: snx)

AmigaOS 4: instant messenger Epistula - version for plugin developers (update)
The first public version of the modular instant messenger Epistula is available under the title link, together with a preliminary plugin development kit.
As no plugins were released so far, Epistula is for now only inteesting for developers who want to write their own protocol plugins. The first plugin for the MSN protocol will be available as soon as a required library will have been public (probably at the end of the week).
Update: (16:25, 11.02.06, snx)
Under the title link is in the meantime an ICQ plugin by Daniel Allsopp made available. (cg) (Translation: wk)

Elbox: IDE Trade-Up Program
Elbox Computer are offering a "Trade-Up" program for IDE controllers to their EU customers. The program requires a credit card and provides a 30 Euro mail-in rebate for their FastATA controllers in case the customer trades-in his old 4-way IDE interface or Zorro II IDE adapter.
The offer is valid for the purchase of a FastATA 4000 MK-III, FastATA 1200 MK-III or FastATA ZIV. According to Elbox, their FastATA controllers - unlike the aforementioned solutions - do also support PIO-3, PIO-4 and PIO-5 modes. (snx)
