Software news: SabreMSN 0.57, MemoryGauge 1.1 (Update)
Instant Messenger: SabreMSN 0.57
James 'jahc' Carroll has published a new beta version of his MUI-based MSN-Messenger SabreMSN for AmigaOS 3/4 and AROS. Changes in SabreMSN 0.57:
- Fixed "challenge string" calcuation issue with certain sized challenge codes.. no more disconnections after a minute of being online [...]
- Added automatic reconnection when disconnected. Configurable values.
- Commented out file transfer stuff, because it was too buggy to use and was causing confusion I think. The GUI looks more handsome now.
- Bugfixed Group Chats a little.
- Changed the layout of the top of the chat window. Let me know if you guys like it.
- Text labels at the top showing: display name, email address, and personal messages if one is being displayed. Also, you can copy to the clipboard from it.
- Away status is shown next to the display name at the top of the chat window, and it tells you when the person went offline if they go..
- Made the tab buttons so they dont have to occupy as much space as the text inside them i.e. the text can be cut off inside now if the window is too small for the tabs, and it isnt forced to be a large size anymore. (did that make sense?)
- Oops, renaming contact button doesnt work anymore.. the setting isnt remembered when you reconnect. I think that particular rename command only works for the current session. I think the MSN client is supposed to keep a local copy on the hard drive, then rename the contact when it connects and retrieves the contacts list. Hmmmmmmm.
- Weird error: For some reason I had commented out a Contact List display name copy, and I cant remember why.
- Changed "Add a contact" string gadget to use BetterString.mcc so that OS3 users can paste contact addresses into it
MorphOS: MemoryGauge 1.1
MemoryGauge is a "Screenbar-Plugin" which is added to the title line of the Ambient screen and which shows the current usage of memory. MemoryGauge requires at least MorphOS 2.0.
Update: (20.08.09, 16:00, cg)
By now MemoryGauge 1.1 has been released, fixing a severe bug that prevented proper use on most systems. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Lawsuit: Amiga loses against Inception Group
Back in June Inception Group Real Estate, the former landlord of Amiga Washington (that renamed itself back to Amino a while ago), sued the current incarnation of Amiga. For unknown reasons, said incarnation had committed itself in November 2008 to paying parts of Amino's debts to the landlord.
Four weeks after Inceptions initial motion, the legal clerk declared (PDF) that Amiga Inc. had not replied yet - something they still didn't do, as far as we can tell - and that they are "in default". In the meantime, the actual judgement (PDF) is available aswell: Inception Group is entitled to get the owed money (about 150,000 USD) aswell as an interest of about 7000 Dollar.
Only Inception's request to have Amiga ordered to pay their attorneys’ fees has not been granted yet: The plaintiff is directed to file appropriate documentation first. (cg) (Translation: cg)

The update can be applied to both versions of the Indivision AGA (1200 and 4000). Tghe CPLD-version is no consideration.

USB stack: Poseidon 4.3 for Subway, Highway, Algor and Deneb
Press release Seven, eight, nine, kann denn das noch sein? It can, and it is: I can give you more! The long awaited hot summer 07.08.09 release of Poseidon V4.3 for Subway, Highway, Algor and Deneb cards is finally available.
The Deneb USB 2.0 Highspeed board is still in stock, so if you want to benefit from the possibility of using USB Soundcards and the new UVC webcam class that comes with Poseidon V4.3, not to mention the speed of Zorro III (DMA) and the big flashrom, go ahead and get one at your local dealer. You don't want to wait for heaven!
A lot of bugs and glitches have been found, partially thanks to the AROS port.
There are two new classes: One for MosChip Ethernet adapters and one for webcams that make use the UVC (USB Video Class) standard and MJPEG frame data. The usbvideo.class provides a runtime VHI Studio driver.
If you're using your Deneb in an A3000 with Buster 9, please make sure that you install the new Romtag called "DenebBuster9IDTag" into your flashrom to use the DMA driver. Please read the supplied readme file for details. Also, after updating, make sure you're updating the contents of your flashrom aswell - otherwise you will be getting mixed versions from flashrom and on-disk files.
I spent quite some time in getting out the new classes, and it all again is for free, but if you appreciate my work, please consider sending some gifts in from my Amazon wishlists (DE, UK) - it is greatly appreciated.
Poseidon V4.3 is available through the Trident online update and on my homepage at the title link.
Enjoy, have a good time.
Summary of news:
- Massive bug fixing at several places as a result of the AROS port
- New MosChip Ethernet adapter class
- New USB Video class for UVC webcams
- Ethernet classes bugfixing (should now work with Genesis)
- Poseidon now adds timestamps to the log
- Support for >2 TB media in massstorage.class (untested)
- PTP Class bug fixes
- More wacom tablets detected in hid.class, NewMouse event sending now configurable
- Hubs with more than 7 ports supported
- Deneb driver fixes - supports Buster 9 mode (please read readme!)

Real-time strategy: Exodus under AmigaOS 4.1
"crack" described in a guide how to get worked the real-time strategy game Exodus: The last War under AmigaOS 4.1.
Update of the arcade game BOH
Simone Bevilacqua has updated the commercial arcade game BOH:
- makes the game run natively on Linux (requires an x86 CPU, SDL 1.2 and SDL_mixer-1.2);
- avoids the restart of the whole program upon theme change (very useful when playing in full screen, as the monitor does not need to re-sync);
- adds themes randomization options;
- adds the "USE ENHANCED WEAPONS" option (makes killing enemies easier);
- slows down the blinking of the automapper direction indicator;
- adds video mode suggestions;
- fixes a minor bug in the zoom selection handling (in rare cases it could cause an illegal memory access);
- fixes bad centering at 4x zoom (a couple of parentheses were missing);
- links the AmigaOS version to the latest SDL;
- links the Windows version to a fresh build of the custom framework (by mistake an outdated framework had been used with the consequence that, on some machines, input handling was partially broken);
- includes some graphical retouches to the themes "castle" and "warm";
- adds synopses to the phases of the mission "tougher and tougher";
- updates and improves the user's manual;
- improves some translations;
- some other changes.
Additionally a Linux port of BOH was published. (cg) (Translation: dr)

OnyxSoft: Annotate 2.6.3, CodeAudio 3.01, MultiRen 1.68, Onyx Prelude 1.2

CodeAudio, previously known as TheMPegEncGUI, is a graphical user-interface for MP3- and other encoders (flac, faad, ogg) which makes it more easy to convert CDs into MP3-files with an optional wizard.
MultiRen is a MUI-base program with which many files can be renamed simultaneously. There is also a special plugin for MP3-files.
Onyx Prelude is a mixer-preferences-program for the soundcards Prelude Z2 and Prelude 1200.

AROS: Icaros Desktop 1.1.3 / Live-DVD (Update)
For the AROS-distribution Icaros Desktop there is now available an official update which includes the USB-stack Poseidon (amiga-news.de reported). This should work with about 80 percent of all PC-systems with USB-1.1- or -2.0-controllers.
Please note that most of the mouses, keyboards as well as USB-sticks and memory cards with FAT- or SFS-file systems can be used but some of the devices cannot because of missing libraries and system components in AROS.
Update: (16:53, 02.08.09, snx)
Since today there is a Live-DVD of the AROS-distribution available.
