Assembler and Linker: vasm 1.7b and vlink 0.15
Frank Wille has released updates of the modular assembler vasm and of the corresponding linker vlink.
Changes in vasm 1.7b:
- Fixed stack overflow and crash when using recursively defined symbols. Bug was present since introducing new 128-bit and float expressions in 1.7
- Issue a warning when a symbol was declared as external, but nowhere referenced in the source
- m68k: Do not optimize MOVEM to MOVEA or MOVE when predecrement or postincrement addressing mode is used with a register from the list
- m68k: The Devpac directive OPT X (xdebug) works now as expected for hunk-format object files and for TOS executables
- m68k: In Devpac-compatibility mode (-devpac) the __LK symbol is predefined and reflects the output file type: 0 = Atari executable, 3 = Amiga object, 4 = Amiga executable, 99 = all others which are unknown to Devpac
- m68k: MOVEM #list,-(An) must not reverse the bit mask automatically, but expect an already reversed one
- m68k: BTST #n,#m is illegal
- m68k: LEA (d32,An),Am translation to MOVE.L/ADD.L stopped working with V1.6c. Fixed again
- ARM: TEQP, TSTP, CMNP and CMPP were missing for AA2
- ARM: Fixed recognition of addressing mode and condition codes with instructions written in upper case
- 6502: New option -c02 to enable 65C02 instructions
- mot-syntax: In PhxAss- and Devpac-compatibility mode only the directives which are known by the emulated assembler are supported
- mot-syntax: RS, SO and FO offset directives use an aligned offset in Devpac-compatibility mode or when the -align option is given
- std-syntax: The optional third argument of .balign/.p2align/.align is now really supported and defines a maximum number of padding bytes
- std-syntax: New directives: .balignw, .balignl, .p2alignw, .p2alignl, .zero, .swbeg
- std-syntax: .word should rather define 16-bit than 32-bit constants
- std-syntax: .local followed by .comm should be the same as .lcomm
- oldstyle-syntax: Fixed recognizion of .equ/.eq/.set/.mac/.macro with -dotdir option
- hunk-output: New option -linedebug automatically generates a LINE DEBUG hunk for the input source
- aout-output: Always generate an external reference to a weak symbol, even when the symbol is defined
- elf-output: Always generate an external reference to a weak symbol, even when the symbol is defined.
Changes in vlink 0.15:
- (ados/ehf) Support for SAS/C style indexed libraries (HUNK_LIB)
- (ados/ehf) -Csasc is accepted to build a table with SAS/C constructors and destructors. It looks for functions named __STI_... and __STD_...
- (tos) New option -tos-textbased to write symbol offsets which are based on the text section (MonST-comaptible)
- (tos) text and data section size in the header must not be odd
- (aoutmint) text and data section size in the header must not be odd

Gloom Deluxe Total Conversion: "Did IT come from the Desert?"
Inspired by Cinemaware's announcement to release the port of the Mega Drive game It Came From The Desert next year, "nittamituaki" has created a "Total Conversion" of the FPS-classic Gloom Deluxe.
The Mega Drive version of the classic has very little in common with the original adventure game - now rather it is a actual shooter.
You can install nittamituaki's Total Conversion (Youtube video) by installing first Gloom Deluxe on harddrive. Afterwards the original files will be replaced by the files from the "Did IT come from the Desert?"-download. The game requires a 68020-processor and about 1,8 MB ChipRAM.

MorphOS: SoundBankster 1.3
Antoine 'tchecko' Dubourg's SoundBankster (screenshot) is an application for DJs which can be completely controled with a USB-DJ-Deck. At least 512 MB RAM are recommended.
The programm was written for MorphOS and e.g. uses its HID-sensor-API introduced in version 3.6. Reggae (loading and playing music), AHI (dual sound output over different AHI-units) and TinyGL (rendering the graphic chart of the audio signal) are used as well.
Changes:
- Full localisation, SoundBankster is now provided with french and english locale
- Improved equalizers by using shelf filters for low and hi band greatly improving the filtering
- Improved loop handling, added x2 and /2 buttons
- Minor GUI changes here and there
- And as usual bunch of bug fixing

AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition: Updated BootFloppy for Amiga 3000 computers
Press release:
Brussels, December 24, 2014
Much to Hyperion Entertainments regret it was noticed that the bootfloppy originally shipped with AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition for Amiga 1200, 3000 and 4000 computers contains a defective KickLayout file, which makes it impossible to boot on an Amiga 3000 computer.
In order to remedy this situation, registered customers of AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition for classic Amiga computers may download an updated bootfloppy as ADF image from the download area.
Alternatively, experienced users may follow the manual instructions on the Hyperion support forum.
Hyperion Entertainment apologises for any inconvenience caused by this and wishes a merry christmas to all its customers! (cg) (Translation: cg)

ACube Systems: L2 cache utility for Sam460/AmigaOne 500
One week ago already ACube Systems released a small utility that may increase performance on the Sam460/AmigaOne 500. The utility works on both, Sam460ex and Sam460cr boards.
To avoid incoherency between L2 cache and main memory, on Sam460 CPU the AmigaOS 4.1 kernel disables L2 cache write by default. On your own risk you can activate L2 cache write now, but it is suggested to do so only in advance of performance-intensive tasks like watching videos. Afterwards, L2 cache write should be switched off again.
Please be aware that activating L2 cache write may cause system instability and/or data corruption. On the other hand, once L2 cache write is enabled, Ragemem will report around 35% speed increase in the L2 WRITE32/WRITE64 tests, and some applications may see improved performance too (for example 3-5% speed increase in MPlayer with some videos).

AmigaOS 4/MorphOS bounty: MPlayer Altivec optimization
Konstantinos 'feanor' Margaritis would optimize the PPC-port of MPlayer for the Altivec-unit built in G4-, G5- and PA6T-processors, if 1000 Euro will be donated. A corresponding bounty now was opened at bountysource.com.
The goal of the optimization is to be able to perfectly play the h264-coded trailer of the motion picture Prometheus in a solution of 1920x1080 pixels on a X1000 - currently only 18 instead of the required 24 frames per second are achieved. If a Altivec optimization is able to increase the performance by 33% and how much influence on less powerful processors it would have, currently the software developer cannot reckon.
The description of the bounty does not say for which systems the optimization has to be released. Margaritis does not own an OS4-compatible computer, but only a Powerbook G4.

Retro-Gaming: WHDLoad 18.0
Using WHDLoad, you can install games, scene demos and intros from cracking groups on your harddisk that were not compatible with anything but floppy disks.
Changes of version 18.0:
- fix:WHDLoad lock up happen when FullChip/S is used and
exec.MaxLocMem is equal to BaseMemSize fixed
- fix:ExpChip/S and FullChip/S cannot be enabled together, if both
are set FullChip/S will be silently disabled (Psygore)
- chg:option NoTrapHandler/S has been removed
- fix:race condition fixed which sometimes caused a 'Privilege
Violation Exception' when a Resload function was called from
Usermode and got interrupted during the internal switch to
Supervisor mode and then trace exception was used from the
installed program, seen especially in installs using kick13
emu and performing a lot of disk io, fixes issue #2094 and
connected ones
- chg:the log file created by the FileLog/S facility has been
renamed from .whdl_filelog to .whdl_log
- new:function resload_Log which puts custom messages into the log
file .whdl_log, uses the same file as the FileLog/S facility
and requires that FileLog/S option is set so that messages
will be written
this function is intended to make it easier to debug/follow
alien code by adding trace messages to dump the execution
state at useful places
- new:option LogBuffer/K/N to control the size of the internal
buffer allocated for log messages by FileLog/S and
resload_Log
- new:function resload_VSNPrintF implementing a exec.RawDoFmt/
sprintflike string formatting routine
- new:kickfs.s has new option SNOOPFS which will cause in
conjunction with HDINIT all dos packets after processing to
be logged using resload_Log, the supplied perl script
chkunlock.pl can be used to search the log file for missing
dos.UnLock and dos.Close calls
- new:using the function resload_Control and the tags
WHDLTAG_CUST_DISABLE/READ/WRITE/STROBE the allowed custom
registers for Snoop*/S can be modified now
- chg:ReSource support files updated to cover recent WHDLoad
extensions
- new:added XAD support to the installer template script
- chg:external program SP to save pictures from dump files has been
improved to better support AGA screens (ddf, fmode, bplcon)
- chg:on the 68030 the instruction burst is now always enabled if
the instruction cache is enabled (Psygore)
- chg:the 68040 processor is now fully supported regarding the
special mmu features (Snoop, resload_Protect), the
implementation was planned since years, it was a lot of work
becausethe handling is very different to the 68030 und 68060,
although I'm unsure if this feature will be used much, I'm
happy to have it completed now
- chg:option ChkAudPt/S is also supported on the 68030 and 68040 now
- chg:the interrupt redirect feature of ACA500/Zeus is not used when
option NoVBRMove/S is set
- chg:PreloadSize/N will also be set by WHDLoad if ws_DontCache is
used in the Slave
some more end user related improvements are planned for the next
release :-)

Javascript: TAWS - The Amiga Workbench Simulation 0.24
TAWS ("The Amiga Workbench Simulation") is a Javascript simulation of the Amiga-Workbench 1.0 - 4.1 for Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Apple-WebKit-Browser. The author would be pleased about any kind of feedback.
Version 0.24 includes the following changes:
- Preferences:
- New style «OS4»: GUI elements (TextBox, CheckBox, ListBox, Cycle, Button and Slider) are drawn in an OS4-style.
- New: Background pattern for preferences dialogs
- New iconset: BetterWB
- Requesters for OS versions >= 4.0 now have a XEN look, icons are centred on the screen.
The font of the first button is now bold.
- For OS versions >= 4.0 «Verdana» is now the default font (used for the labels on the preferences dialogs, buttons, etc.)
which is quite close to «DejaVu Sans».
- Clock: Colors are now corresponding for OS versions >= 4.0.
- New poosibility to use «random» as value for the URL parameter «preset», which will chosse a preset by random. Example:
http://www.taws.ch/WB.html?preset=random
- Optional parameter «noforce» instead of «force»: The new default is that the preset of the URL parameter has higher priority
than the user settings in the cookie. If «noforce» is stated the priority is witched. Example:
http://www.taws.ch/WB.html?preset=OS_1.3&noforce
- New Preset: «OS 1.0»
- Palette: New entry «GUI Elements background»
- Text color of selected text in TextBoxes is now set corresponding the «Palette» settings.
- Adjusted the text in «About» for OS version 4.1.
- Bugfixes:
- Some Chrome versions have wrongly been detected as touch devices.
- In case of an invalid URL preset parameter value now the default preset is used and no longer some stoneaged TAWS default values.
- In case of loading a Preset by URL parameter, GadTools style was not correctly applied.
- Correction of the cycles height in MedRes mode.
- Correction in the startup checks, so TAWS now runs on Firefox 3.6.28 again (the last version for PPC-Macs).

Crowdfunding: Rocket Ranger Reloaded (update)
The current holder of the Cinemawares rights is going to release again the classic action-adventure Rocket Ranger as a "reloaded"-version and has established a crowdfunding-project at Kickstarter.
According to the publisher's own information he is going to "bring the game to as many platforms as possible" and to "make the project freely available for porting to Linux and AmigaOS by any team interested in undertaking these conversions."
Hint of the editorial staff: We do not know, if "freely" means "for free" or "free" (within the meaning of "troublefree" and so on). The last meaning would imply to make payment of licence fees which would make an Amiga-port unlikely.
Update: (04.12.2014, 18:15, cg)
In the German thread for this news item, a Cinemaware representative announces that all required materials for porting the Game to the Amiga will be made available free of charge. since Cinemaware does not expect a potential Amiga version to generate any revenue. (cg) (Translation: dr)
