Ghostscript: Print/view in oblong format
AFPL Ghostscript 8.50 has been adapted in this way that it is now possible to print
in oblong format. Additionally to the current version (from 14. July) you also
need the script pdf2ps.amiga.
In order to view or print e.g. the file annots.pdf in oblong format the following
command lines are required:
assign c: gs850:bin add
set GSLANDSCAPE 1
pdf2ps.amiga "" annots.pdf annots_landscape.ps
The created file annots_landscape.ps which is now in oblong format you can then
view with the following command:
gs -sDEVICE=whoosh24 -r50 -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE annots_landscape.ps

MorphOS: Alpha-Version von MUI 4
Stefan Stuntz has released an alpha version of MUI 4.0. The author describes this version as "not ready for a while yet" and speaks of "various rough edges."
Changes in this version:
For users:
- All mui programs react in realtime on prefs changes.
- New and much improved background & frame requesters.
- New color requester with many options, fancy triangle, old-fashioned
wheel, linked gradients, etc.
- New image browser.
- Complete asl replacement, fancy file & font requesters.
- New pubscreen manager with skin preview.
- Dont forget to try context menus on all new elements!
- ...
For programmers:
- List class changed completely (subclass of group now), has nice columns, handles scrollbars etc by itself, no more ugly listview->list construct needed. this "list being subclass of group" might be the main reason for incompatibilities, especially with the way older apps use the notify system. Listview.mui is obsolete and mainly an empty shell now.
- MUI finally has a proper multiline text entry class: Textinput.mcc was
built in as "String.mui". an empty Textinput.mcc is supplied as well to
map older apps to the new internal string class. Support in the main
prefs program is still missing, use Textinput.mcp for now.
- You can embed a filerequester if you like, use "Filepanel.mui" and
control with the usual ASLFR_ tags.
- New class for easy sub-process handling.
- ...
The corresponding developer documents (Autodocs) are included in the archive.

New "adtools" project forces development on GCC, GDB, binutils etc.
Maintained by famous Amiga developers like Thomas Frieden, Hans-Jörg Frieden, Olaf Barthel, Andrija Antonijevic, Stefan Burström, Gunther Nikl
and Jens Langner the new sourceforge.net open source project (adtools) has been started. it aims to
pu all future development on development tools like GCC, binutils andd GDB under one roof to a common development platformn.
Beside the already supported platforms like AmigaOS4/PPC support for MorphOS/PPC and others (e.g. AmigaOS3/m68k or AROS) is planed also.
At the already set up CVS respository for this new project one might view the current development state.
It includes the sources of the changes to the GCC 4.0.0 compiler which allows to build AmigaOS4/PPC programs.
it is planed for the future to provide binaries also. One will be able to chose the compiler version of choice and simply download the package.
All in all this project aims to bundle all development on GCC, GDB, binutils
and other Amiga development tools to eventually get to that point where those famous projects will integrate Amiga relevant changes directly to their
distributions.
Interested developers of all Amiga flavours (AmigaOS4, MorphOS, AmigaOS3, AROS) are called to join this effort and participate actively. (ps) (Translation: ub)

File system: SmartFileSystem 1.245
The latest version of the alternative file systems Smart Filesystem (SFS) recognizes too big partitions now (see below) and
will not format those.Existing over sized partitions are accessable in read only mode.
Current maximum sizes for SFS formated partitions:
- 64 GB at 512 bytes/block
- 128 GB at 1024 bytes/block
- 256 GB at 2048 bytes/block
- 512 GB at 4096 bytes/block
- 1 TB at 8192 bytes/block
- 2 TB at 16384 or 32768 bytes/block
If one of your partitions exceeds these maximum values it is very recomended not to use older versions of SFS any longer: Somewhen a data loss will happen!
