AROS: First ABI-V1-Nightly-Build booted
For some time developers of the operating system AROS have been working on a new application binary interface. From today the first booting Nightly Build based on this ABI V1 is available.
Please note that this software is not compatible to existing AROS-software (ABI V0) and is only meant for testing purposes for developers.
The change of the application binary interface mainly affects AROS/x86 because for this architecture most of the (V0-) software exists. AROS/68k already includes most of the compatibility fixes.

Cheap Amiga-Tablets, exclusive desktop computer planned
Since April Amiga Inc. offers some parts of the announced entertainment electronics sold by IContain with Amiga label in its shop. While IContain also offers Amiga TV and phones, Amiga Inc. is focused on Android 2.2-based Tablet-PCs - currently there is an offer of a 7 inch-OC for 98 USD.
Since six months the company has had sites at Facebook and Twitter to advertise its products.
Some weeks ago Barry "digitex" Altman working for Commodore USA has stated that his announced Amiga-PCs will not try to compete with the mass-produced PCs by Dell: The planned devices will only contain precious components and cost more than 2500 USD.
On commodore.net which is the official website of Commodore USA, some of the announced Amiga models are introduced: Amiha 1000x, 2000x, 3000x and 4000x.
The presented case pictures are identical with the pictures of the website of the producer OrigenAE and were only completed with Commodore and Amiga logos.

Meta compiler: PortablE r6-27-10-2011 (Beta)
Christopher Handley's meta compiler PortablE completes the programming language Amiga E and translates it into other languages.
There is also a PortablE-forum. PortablE supports AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and AROS and in a limited way AmigaOS 3.x and Windows as well.
Changes:
- Fully tested on AROS & MorphOS (in addition to AmigaOS4), so all the examples now run smoothly & stably. Please download some of the already compiled examples & try them out :-)
- Programs now compile on Icaros v.1.3.x, although an AROS bug in Icaros v1.3.0 to v1.3.2 means that the graphical examples won't look good. Icaros v1.3.3 should fix that
- The GUI module (std/cGui) now supports basic scrollable lists & pictures in buttons (see here for an example), plus many bug fixes
- The graphics module (std/cGfx) now supports resizable windows, can draw circles, and has been heavily fixed & speeded-up for AROS & MorphOS
- Added basic networking support for AmigaOS4, which is compatible with Amiga E
- Added the "Debug" switch to PEGCC, which makes debugging on OS4 much easier. PEGCC also behaves better
- The sound & music modules (std/cSnd & std/cMusic) now gracefully handle the lack of AHI sound, instead of crashing
- OPT MULTITHREADED should now be properly thread-safe, especially FastNew/NEW/etc
- A large number of fixes & tweaks to various things, plus added a couple more Amiga modules, and some missing OS4 functions

Further details to "First Contact"-edition of AmigaOne X1000
Trevor Dickinson (A-EON) and Matthew Leaman (AmigaKit) answered in a thread on amigaworld.net some questions to the recently announced First Contact-Edition of the AmigaOne X1000.
- The X1000-shop is supposed to be available soon under amigakit.com/x1000. According to Leaman it is recommended that interested purchasers notify AmigaKit in advance via eMail to sales@amigakit.com.
- The customer will have to supply a prepayment The whole amount of the price must be paid short before delivery.
- The keyboards with the AmigaOne lettering will be also available in white but the black lettering will be available in more localized versions.
- The systems will be completely built up and preconfigured.
- The optional available Debian Squeeze Linux supports the hardware completely.
- The "First Contact"-offer includes a one-year warranty
- The hardware has series maturity and will be not changed in any way. But AmigaOS 4 does not support all components. THerefore the systems will be delivered with additional plugin cards. This seems to be the only difference of the "Limited Edition" to later editions.

The Third Annual Festive Amiga Game Making Competition
For the third time Moya "Cammy" Jackie will organize the traditional Festive Amiga Game Making Competition. Until 24. December you will have to create a game or playable demo of the game. This year's Festive Amiga Game Making Competition's rule is this::
- Create an Amiga game adaption of the film, television or book franchise of your choice! The only exception is you cannot make a game based on something that was already made into an Amiga game..
- There are two categories: Classic Amiga and Next Generation Amiga. The NG category includes games made for AmigaOS4, MorphOS, Aros or RTG OS3 systems. The Classic category requires the game to run on at least an Amiga 1200 with extra RAM or an accelerator. If it requires a 060 and a graphics card, it'll go in the NG category..
- There will be a panel of experienced judges who will play and rate the games, and then combine and tally the results to find our two major prize winners.

Workbench enhancement: BetterWB 2.4
BetterWB is a new workbench pack, much like AIAB, Amikit, AmigaSYS, ClassicWB, etc. but applying a totally different aproach.
It aims to be much like an enhancement, an updated extension to AmigaOS 3.1, without all those hardware requirement penalties
typically associated with these kind of packs.
Changes in version 2.4:
- Some minor components got updated
- Compact disk player with lots of great features (ACDPlay)
- SetJoyPort is a program that improves the chances of using a CD32 style joypad with all games
- ClickNot commodity prevents floppy drives from issuing those excessive clicking sounds
- Break command can now accept multiple targets, find a program by CLI number, command or task name, etc
- Copy command has increased its functionality quite a lot
- Sort command uses standard I/O channels as a default, which makes Sort quite useful in I/O pipes. It will sort as much text as fits in your RAM
- Join command has been heavily enhanced and includes lots of new options
- Avail command now has a few more options

Bootdisk-Creator: Amiga911 Maker 1.46
With "Amiga911 Maker" you can create bootdisks under AmigaOS 3.0/3.1 which can include a lot of tools on a AmigaDOS-disk because LZX or XPK is used. The Amiga which is supposed to boot must have at least 1 MB memory but recommended 2 MB.
Changes in version 1.46:
- The Amiga911 boot disks will now contain a new icon set. These icons were
made in a way that should make them look OK regardless of the screenmode
used, this basically means that the graphics in the icons will look a bit
"stretched" in both laced and non-laced type of screenmodes. All of them
are standardized to 44x22 pixels, and the icons will also take up less
disk space now (at least a few KB saved).
- Four new programs are now supported:
- Check4GB - Check if your HD setup is 4GB-ready
- DiskImage - Mount any disk image file as a DOS device
- HJSplit - Split large files into smaller ones
- WhichAmiga - ShowConfig kind of tool. V1.3.3
If you add DiskImage to the Amiga911 disk, you will be able to mount ADF
floppy images, ISO CD-ROM images and HDF harddisk images on your Amiga, and
then you can copy files from/to the images. Mounting the virtual devices and
performing diskchanges is handled by a requester based script that will also
be included. There is no need for messing around with mount files since they
will be generated by the script when they are needed.
HJSplit can also be controlled by a requester based script, and it allows you
to select the exact size of the small files the original big file shall be
splitted into. You can choose between various sizes that can make each small
file fit on a Amiga or PC formatted floppy disk, or you can enter the split
size manually. The script can also join all of the files back together again.
Versions of HJSplit exists for several platforms including Windows and Linux.
- A new archive called ExtInst.lha are now included in the Amiga911 Maker
package. This archive contains the few files that earlier had to be copied
from the Extras and Install disks, and as long as ExtInst.lha is present in
the A911MakerData dir, those disks are no longer needed since the required
files will be copied from the archive instead. In other words, you may only
need the Workbench disk for creating a boot floppy from now on.
- Some system files have been replaced by the free alternatives from Michal
Letowski's MSys 1.2 pack, these files are: Avail, LoadWB, MakeLink, Reboot
and RequestChoice.
- The standard RequestFile command have also been replaced by Torsten Poulin's
free alternative version.
- If the Anaiis USB stack is to be included on the Amiga911 disk, the Anaiis
prefs program is now optional.
- The "Cut" command is no longer included, the reason for this is that the same
type of functionality can be achived with the "Echo" command instead.
- A new "Clean up" window is introduced in this version of Amiga911 Maker, and
when you open and run it, your project will be scanned for files that are no
longer needed. Some of these files will automatically be deleted, while with
others you will be asked whether they should be removed or not. You can open
the "Clean up" Gui by selecting it in the menu of the main Amiga911 Maker
window.
- In an attempt to save more space on the Amiga911 disk, a more critical look
was taken on the system files that's included on the boot floppy, and the
conclusion was that a few of them could actually go. The biggest waste of
space was the bullet & nonvolatile libraries since they are quite useless on
a emergency disk. Other files that no longer will be included are the
following: More, Date, SetClock, SetKeyboard, LoadResource, parallel.device,
serial.device, lowlevel.library and realtime.library. With the exception of
the last four files, they will now be deleted from your project when you run
"Copy system files". If you want to remove any of the the other four files as
well, you must use the "Clean up" Gui (see above). Now that "More" is no
longer included, a hardlink to MultiView is created upon booting the Amiga911
disk, this means that every time the system tries to use More, it will use
MultiView instead.
- All Windows that includes a log listview does now have a "Export Log file"
menu option, and by selecting this you will be able to save the log as a
file, or you can copy it to the clipboard.
- Various small improvements & bug fixes.

amiga-news.de: Server failure due to supposed hardware problems
Yesterday amiga-news.de could not be accessed for about 13 hours: our server did set the filesystem to pure read function which actually is indicative of a problem with the connected drives. Under the title link you can comprehend the efforts of the technician of our hoster Dreamhost to find and solve the problem.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
