SView5: Source code on sale
Andreas Kleinert writes: "SView5 (once SuperView, then SViewII and up) has been around in the Amiga scene from 1993 on - with a migration to .NET and Linux being main focus from 2008 on. The Amiga version did not see
any updates lately, i.e. the past 4-5 years.
Development actually did not pay off anymore starting from ca. 2004
on, for various reasons. However, even as a hobby I really do not
have sufficient time anymore - being father of two little daughters
hardly leaves any room for it for the next several years.
On the other hand, SView5 still may have some relatively unique
features in that combination. Under Windows I'd say there's only
a handful comparable tools in that area - but then a again many
commercial offerings and all-in-all everything is either free or
expected to be free.
After all, I'm considering to sell the source code to an interested
party in order to see it further developed. However it won't be
handed over for a nominal fee and also not for a student budget.
Price would have to be subject to negotiations and perhaps required some
commercial considerations to pay off for the buyer.
So I would be glad if any interested party would contact me on the
matter. Any offer should somehow value the amount of man-years
which went into its development and debugging.
Regarding the actual subject:
- There's the last AmigaOS / MorphOS source code:
- SView5 as a tool (C source)
- SView5-Library with many sub-libraries (modules, C source) being used as a shared library
- The most recent branch consisting of:
- SView5 as a tool (C++ source for .NET)
- SView5 toolkit consisting of platform-independent C++ classes which are structured similar to the previous C modules (also regarding the API) but have to be statically linked (some external code is used as DLL) - it works well under .NET but is completely endian-neutral and should also work on any Linux
It should be fairly easy on that basis to create a next-gen
SView5-Library for AOS3/AOS4/MOS which internally builds up on the
new C++ classes (but with externally compatible API) *or* backport
the new classes' core to the old code scheme *or* use it for something
entirely different.
Regarding kind of crowd-funding (bounty) and an OSS release I'd
generally be open, but it would mean a few conditions to be discussed
first. It might be more feasible to start with something more closed." (snx)

Crowdfunding: "Armiga" emulates A500 and reads Amiga-disks
On the crowdfunding website Indiegogo, the following project is advertised: A Raspberry Pi in a self-made case with a classic Amiga design is to emulate an Amiga. What makes this "Armiga" special: A little daughterboard controls the disk drive which is also included and makes for a compatibility with Amiga disks. The final product is supposed to include a licenced copy of Kickstart 1.3.
Apart from the mentioned daughterboard and the case, Armiga is based on existing hardware and software: A single board computer with Dualcore-ARM-CPU (the prototype is using a Raspberry Pi), Android and a version of UAE which is not explained in detail. The daughterboard can read complete disks - the disks are converted into a ADF-Image and saved to an provided SD-card. It is not possible to directly access from the emulated Amiga to the disks. Besides, this does not work with copy-protected disks.
The crowdfunding campaign started on March 21st and will be finished on May 20th. If the campaign will not succeed in collecting at least 140.000 US-Dollar, the donators will get back the money. If more money will be paid, there will be a lot of additional features which the developers will implement, e.g. emulating some other computer operating systems, providing HDF-support, emulating AGA-Amigas and writing ADF-images to disks.

Collective order: Amiga keys for keyboards with Cherry MX-switches
Loriano 'TheDaddy' Pagni offers a set of Amiga or MorphOS keys for all keyboards equipped with the Cherry MX-switches. The keys, originally created for his case X500 and the USB-keyboards sold by Amedia, now were revised and can be ordered from Pagni individually.
For 42 pounds (about 50 Euro, plus shipping) you will get a complete set of set of black, with white laser etching, Amiga key caps. Different, country-specific layouts are available. Some pictures of the sets are available in an older thread at amigaworld.net:
Both Windows-keys were replaced by cursive "A", the "menu"-key has got a BoingBall. Further changes are a labelled "Caps Lock"-key as well as adding "Help" to the "End"-key. A MorphOS-version of the keys with a butterfly-motive is also offered.
If you are interested in this offer, then contact Pagni via eMail.

Workbench enhancement: BetterWB 3.5
Similar to AIAB, AmiKit or AmigaSYS, BetterWB is a collection of Workbench enhancements for AmigaOS 3.1, which are useful but rather simple and therefore require low hardware configuration. It is meant for e.g. purists and users of low end Amigas or Minimig users.
Changes in version 3.5:
- Fixed Redit and Ed duality. They now live together in harmony
- Fixed the IconSet typos for those german friends out there
- Goodbye GZIP. Welcome ZIP and UNZIP
- DirWork is still in love with Redit after the Ed affair (new DW.cfg)

Similar to AIAB, AmiKit or AmigaSYS, BetterWB is a collection of Workbench enhancements for AmigaOS 3.1, which are useful but rather simple and therefore require low hardware configuration. It is meant for e.g. purists and users of low end Amigas or Minimig users.
BetterWB runs on any Amiga and is provided as disk images. It requires the original disks of Workbench 3.1 (may also work under 3.0, but was not tested) and about 10 MB harddrive memory.
Changes:
- Fixed two enforcer hits present in the status command since CBM days
- Fixed a compatibility problem that surfaced with ClassAct (Thanks David)
- Fixed some problems with DefIcons when using GlowIcons (Thanks Jarek)
- Updated icon.library to 46.4.334
- Added a new commodity (CronTask) that can easily manage job scheduling
- Added a warning to both MagicMenu and CronTask prefs, so you can only configure them when they are actually running
- Plus many more fixes and minor enhancements

Olaf Schönweiß has updated his AROS/68k-distribution AROS Vision. Additionally, AROS Vision 2.4 will be the basis for the next version of the linux-hosted distribution Aminux provided by Pascal Papara and will be integrated into his new AppStore.
Improvements in version 2.4:

For the next version of AROS Vision, these are the main objectives:
- improving integrated developer environments
- adaptions to real hardware (like changing icon set)
- making use of AREXX ports of the different applications
- adding own small components

- Support for planar, chunky, 15 bit and 24 bit YAFA anims
- Support for byte, word, and longword delta compression
- HAM6 and HAM8 modes fully supported
- Anims that use a dynamic palette are supported
- Support for timestamped anims
- Native decompressor for XPK FAST, NUKE, and RAKE packed anims; xpkmaster.library is not necessary
- Native decompressor for StoneCracker 4.04 packed anims (used only by early Wildfire versions)
This plugin is available for free download from the official Hollywood portal. Thanks to Hollywood 5's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS 3.x (with and without FPU), AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS (Intel), Linux (PowerPC), Linux (Intel), Mac OS X (PowerPC), Mac OS X (Intel), Windows and Google Android are provided.
You can download lots of YAFA anims from Aminet. (snx)

SSL vulnerabilities in Amiga software
Harry 'Piru' Sintonen reveals security issues on Amiga SSL implementations.
Critical vulnerabilities are found in IBrowse, SimpleMail and other programs.
Summary of the text file found at the title link:
- IBrowse 2.4 is vulnerable to Man in the Middle attacks (sslsniff)
- SimpleMail 0.40 is vulnerable to Man in the Middle attacks (sslsniff)
- AWeb and IBrowse 2.4 support insecure SSL 2.0 and weak ciphers, enabling trivial attacks against the encrypted traffic
- SimpleMail allows weak ciphers, enabling trivial attacks against the encrypted traffic.
- AmiSSL is based on old version of OpenSSL, and several security vulnerabilities have been found since
- YAM 2.9 has secure SSL implementation (barring the deficiencies in AmiSSL itself)

AROS complete system: AresOne (2014)
Pascal Papara has updated his complete computer system "AresOne". The PC is equipped with an AMD-processor (E-350 Dual-Core) and Nvidia graphic board (GeForce 8400 GS) and is compatible to:
- AROS (native)
- ARIX (still in development, Hybrid OS: AROS based on the Linux-kernel, maintaining its binary and application programming interfaces)
- Aminux (Olaf Schönweiß' AROS/68k-distribution AROS Vision under the Amiga emulator FS-UAE, which is launched based on the Linux distribution Knoppix)
- AEROS in versions r3 and r4 (Pascal Papara's Linux-hosted AROS-distribution)
AROS Broadway is installed as standard but you can choose any other AROS-distribution.

Workbench enhancement: BetterWB 3.3
Similar to AIAB, AmiKit or AmigaSYS, BetterWB is a collection of Workbench enhancements for AmigaOS 3.1, which are useful but rather simple and therefore require low hardware configuration. It is meant for e.g. purists and users of low end Amigas or Minimig users.
BetterWB runs on any Amiga and is provided as disk images. It requires the original disks of Workbench 3.1 (may also work under 3.0, but was not tested) and 8 MB harddrive memory.
Changes:
- Updated icon.library to version 46.4.332
- Added showboards command so that we can detect some ACA accelerators (WhichAmiga fails with some of them)
- Added PowerSnap commodity for enhanced clipboard functionality
- Redit 1.8 replaces the aging Ed and gives you much more functionality
- Added a new "IconSet" preferences app that lets you switch between different built-in icon types
- Plus many more fixes and minor enhancements
