amiga-news.de tries new ways of financing
The costs for amiga-news.de were covered by banner ads only. Due to the stagnation of the Amiga market it became more and more difficult during the last year to find paying clients for these banner ads.
With Martin Wolf of Eternity
we try from today on a new kind of advertisements. amiga-news.de sets up a banner for a product, in this case 'Tales of Tamar', and for every purchase that was done via this banner amiga-news.de gets a provision.

No Amiga to Waste: Ideas wanted!
This page can be used as a source of ideas for coder. If you have a real good idea
for a program on the Amiga that should be programmed you can post it here, and maybe
a coder will take it and make it.
Coders for the Amiga are rar nowadays but some are still looking for ideas or asking
what programmes are needed.
The last entry was taken years ago, so I wanted to get some attention to it again. (Translation: gf)

TTEngine 6.0 and TTManager 1.1
TTEngine 6.0 and TTManager 1.1 have been released. New features:
- Font requester in TTEngine. From user point of view it looks almost the same as ASL font requester that every Amigan is familiar with. The font requester uses data stored in "ttengine.database" file and is an easiest way to use the database with applications. Requester gadgetry is based on GadTools to keep independence of disk-based GUI packages and the look consistent with ASL. Three new functions in the library API have been introduced to handle the requester: TT_AllocRequest(), TT_RequestA() and TT_FreeRequest(). See autodoc file for details. Currently the font requester provides only the basic functionality - font family and size - and will be extended in the future versions in the compatible manner (TT_RequestA() is taglist based much like ASL). A new version of "PlainTest" example program uses the font requester.
- Internal: Cache autooptimisation. TTEngine font cache now modifies its structure in the runtime to minimize cache search time. For example with "PlainTest" example program cache optimization lowers the number of cache search iterations from 15 500 to 6 700.
- Cache size limit. TTEngine 6.0 font cache size is limited and the limit can be adjusted by user. This way you can avoid memory exhaustion even if working with hundreds of TrueType fonts. When the limit is reached TTEngine starts to flush unused fonts from the cache. Read more about this feature in an User's Guide document in the distributuion archive.
- Internal: TTEngine global data acces is arbitrated with semaphores. It eliminates a rare possibility of lockups when multiple applications use TTEngine simultaneously.
- TTManager: The database manager is now aware of cache limit setting saved in the database file.

New in this version:

Now it's possible to set an "ignore" value insteed of a valid card ID.
- Feature: Added new card files for Pinnacle_PCTV2 and LiveView

The Register: Microsoft's masterplan to screw phone partner - full details
Andrew Orlowski deals in the English language article, which you can
read under the title link, in detail with how the dispute
between Microsoft and the telephone manufacturer Sendo started out, and who
carries which responsibility for this argument.
In this connection we remind of the fact that Amiga Inc. announced in
their Executive update of November 2002 a
partnership with Sendo concerning their Smartphones Z100. The telephone should be delivered together with the SmartPhonePack by Amiga Inc. Few days later Sendo announced in a special report
that the development program for Smartphones was
given up, and as consequence the Z100 will not be delivered. (ps) (Translation: sk)
