WinUAE
|
Emulator: WinUAE V0.8.22 release 5 (update)
On January the 26th 2003 the feature list for version 0.8.22 release 5
of the Amiga emulator 'WinUAE' for Windows has been released. The
emulator itself will be published in February 2003.
Compared to the last version the following has been changed:
Bugs fixed:
- CD32-mode media change detection
- SlowRAM detection fixes (commando and more)
- more compatible
CIA keyboard emulation (Back to the Future 2 and more)
- another
bsdsocket.library emulation update
- another state restore fix
- fixed mouse problems in Space Crusade, Billy the Kid etc.
- writing to custom floppy images was unstable
- primary sound
buffer-checkbox removed and disabled. It is useless and usually only
caused huge slowdown problems. NOTE: Users of R3 or R4: Make sure
primary sound buffer-checkbox is disabled.
New features:
- configurable boot priority and device name for regular (non-RDB) hardfiles
and virtual directory filesystems
- FPU state file support
- more compatible Action Replay 1 support
- "Middle-Mouse-Button -> ALT-TAB" works now in fullscreen mode
- configurable keyboard LEDs (DF0, DF1, DF2, DF3, POWER, HD, CD)
Supplement:
We were told within the comments that "WIP" doesn't mean it would be
published already but still a work in progress. Because of that the
news item has been modified accordingliy. (ps) (Translation: ub)

IOSPIRIT: IBrowse 2.3 released
We are pleased to unveil that a distribution agreement with Stefan Burström and the IBrowse Team has been signed and we are now the worldwide distributor for IBrowse (support for IBrowse is still done by the IBrowse development team, though).
Furthermore, we are pleased to announce the immediate release of the eagerly awaited update to IBrowse 2.2.
IBrowse 2.3 brings web browsing on AmigaOS to a new level - below is a brief summary of the changes since version 2.2:
- Heavily enhanced JavaScript support, based on JavaScript 1.5 and revision 3 of the ECMAScript specification, allowing access to sites which was not possible before
- Secure connection support is now available via AmiSSL v2, which can be configured extensively in the IBrowse preferences. Importing and exporting of certificates is now also supported.
- Greatly improved general stability and memory leaks plugged
- Improved GUI, including enhanced browser tab functionality (such as drag'n'drop, keyboard support)
- Issues with the ARexx interface have been fixed and new commands added
- Hundreds of other minor and major bug fixes + improvements, and more workarounds added to improve compatibility with broken sites
All these improvements greatly improve the browsing experience, and allow IBrowse to offer compatibility with many more websites than before.
For further information, news and product support, please visit http://www.ibrowse-dev.net/ and our IBrowse-subpages.

Einde van de Nederlandse / Vlaamse vertaling van amiga-news.de
Our Flemish speaking readers will be surely sad to read the
following message from Dirk Bayens in which he announces that he
stops the translation of amiga-news.de.
Hallo de Amigafans in Nederland en België, ik ben tot mijn besluit gekomen
om te stoppen met de vertalingen van het Amiga Nieuws. Ik had er de laatste
tijd niet veel zin meer in om de vertalingen te doen en daarom heb ik
besloten om er mee te stoppen. Ik heb nu ongeveer 3 ½ jaar het nieuws
vertaald en ik ben zeer tevreden met dit resultaat. Als je maar bedenkt
dat ik eigenlijk bijna geen noot Duits kon en dat ik zeker geen
vertalingslessen gevolgd had. ;)
Mijn eerste en belangrijkste gedachte (nog steeds) was om de nog resterende
Amiga Gemeenschap wat bijeen te houden en te informeren over het Amiga
Gebeuren. In het begin was het wat stilletjes maar nadien waren er vooral
uit Nederland veel Hits te noteren maar laten we zeker die enkelingen uit
Vlaanderen in België niet vergeten! Ook kreeg ik af en toe eens een leuk
emailtje of had ik ergens een leuk gesprekje met iemand wat mij dan terug
oppepte voor enkele maanden. :)
En nu na meer dan 3 jaar zijn we hier nog altijd bezig met onze Classic
Amiga, er zijn er wel al een paar afgevallen maar langs de andere kant
zijn er enkele ex-Amiga Fans teruggekomen of hebben in ieder geval hun
'ouwe doos' terug bovengehaald. :))
Ik denk dat zolang onze oude Machienes het fisiek uithouden dat er nog wel
altijd ergens een Amiga Fan zal opduiken die het wel nog eens wil proberen.
En het doet toch nog altijd goed als we zo iemand kunnen helpen, wat ik
vooral op de AmigaScene en de amig@club mailinglijsten heb meegemaakt,
bedankt jongens en doe zo voort!
Op deze moment werk ik nog altijd op mijn Amiga 1260/603 maar stilletjes aan
ga ik deze vervangen door mijn nieuwe AmigaOne, vanzodra deze volledig in
orde staat natuurlijk, zodat ik dan al mijn huidige Amigasoftware er op kan
draaien. Het is op dit moment een traag maar amusant gebeuren, vooral met
dat linux gedoe enzo, maar geen nood mijn beste vriend Stany zal mij hier
wel bij helpen. :))
Ik heb nog nooit een andere Computer gehad dan een Amiga (en ik heb hier zo
wat vanalles staan) maar deze AmigaOne (of Pegasos, voor wie dat systeem
verkiest) is toch wel een heuse stap in de nieuwe wereld van vandaag. Ik ben
nu bezig met Suse er op te zetten met nadien UAE voor PPC, maar ik zal toch
wel echt blij zijn als ik er terug een snel werkende Workbench op te zien zal
krijgen met AmigaOS 4.0.
Zo, ..., ik heb in ieder geval veel bijgeleerd over de Amiga (en andere
systemen) in de laatste jaren alsook over de Amiga Gemeenschap op zichzelf,
en ik ben blij dat ik er een deel van mag uitmaken. Voor mij gaat in ieder
geval alles gewoon verder op zijn Amiga's en zal de Toekomst moeten uitwijzen
waar we naar toe moeten gaan. Ik denk wel dat we op het goede spoor zitten,
maar we moeten wel zoveel mogelijk elkaar helpen en verdragen (andere systemen).
Ik denk zo dat je het mag vergelijken met dat van de evolutie van de auto's.
Ikzelf heb hier een 17 jaar oude opel staan en hij werkt nog altijd prima,
maar als ik naar het nieuwste model kijk van exact hetzelfde merk en model,
dan is het toch wel heel verleidelijk om niet toe te grijpen. Een nieuwe auto
zit er voor mij helaas niet in, maar een nieuwe Amiga dat kon ik me juist wel
nog permiteren. ;) Ik denk ook dat het in de Toekomst met de computers een
beetje zal worden zoals bij de auto's, namelijk alle merken die sterk op
elkaar lijken, bepaalde stukken die door gespecialiseerde firma's worden
gemaakt, het samenvloeien van bedrijven, enz..
.
Ik denk dat we stilletjes aan de strijdbijl mogen begraven en onze vredespijp
eens mogen opblinken. :) Maar een Amiga Fan blijf ik voor altijd in Hart en
Nieren!
Zo, hier ga ik afsluiten met mijn voorlopig laatste vertaling. Mijn Site blijft
natuurlijk verder online zodat jullie het nog altijd eens kunnen nalezen. Als
er iets verandert ofzo zal ik het hier laten weten. Bedankt iedereen voor de
belangstelling en zeker ook nog een grote bedankt aan het amiga-news.de team
welk op vrijwillige basis nog altijd verder gaat met het brengen van het nieuws
en een heel grote bedankt aan Petra Struck de oprichtster en leidtser van
amiga-news.de.
Als er onder jullie zich moesten geroepen voelen om deze vertalingen van
amiga-news.de verder te zetten mogen jullie me altijd wel een emailtje sturen.
Ik weet dat velen onder jullie het gaan missen maar op de amig@club site vindt
je ook wel 'up to date' Amiga Nieuws in het Nederlands en vergeet vooral het
AmigaScene magazine niet wat toch nog het belangrijkste is wat we hier hebben
in de Benelux. Bedankt allemaal.
De groetjes, Dirk.

A.D.A.: CLASSIC time
Amiga Demoscene Archive was updated with two classics in Amiga demoscene
history and one very promising newcomer!
Productions added are:
Tint/The Black Lotus: no need to introduce this one, is there? Offa and
Equalizer, backed up by a whole bunch of talented graphicians (Rodney,
Louie, Danny and Facet) and Azazel responsible for the music. Tons of
effects, cool graphics and real party atmosphere. Do you smell the
flowers?
Gift/Potion: From the duo who are probably from another planet, Mavey and
Skip, comes this 64Kb intro. Lasting for more than 10 minutes, with very
cool music, effects and design, this is one mindblasting intro!
Trauma/Unique: A very promising newcomer to the Amiga demoscene, pc
demogroup Unique released their first Amiga intro a couple of weeks ago.
Well worth checking out!
