AmigaOS 4: Status update for Classic version
According to Hans-Jörg Frieden from Hyperion in a
thread
on amigaworld.net the OS4-Team will, after finishing the AmigaOne version, concentrate on porting the operating system to classic Amigas with PPC extension.
The main problem with the Classic version is the support of the drivers: Currently there are native drivers
for BVision-/CVision-graphic cards, the SCSI-Host of the CyberstormPPC as well as for the PCI-Busboard of Prometheus. If and in which way the Mediator-busboards will be supported with native
code is still not clear. But the existing PCI solution which is porvided by Elbox with its hardware should also work with AmigaOS 4.
There is still not a working driver for the SCSI-Host of the BlizzardPPC.
The question is how existing (68k-) drivers come along with the new memory management - according to Frieden some authors have not accurately followed the guidelines. Especially the DMA-drivers could become a problem. At the same time when the Classic version of AmigaOS 4 will be finished a list with compatible hardware will be published.
During the quarter of 2007 AmigaOS 4 for classic Amigas may be published. But the author points out that this is not an precise date.

Audio-Player: AmigaAMP 2.18, inclusive AmigaOS 4-Engine
Thomas Wenzel has published a new version of his Audio-Player AmigaAMP. The distribution has been divided to the base packet (AmigaAMP.lha) and several archives for the engines. The base packet now works with mpega.library and sndfile.library. The so called Decoding Engines add additional functions, e.g. high decoding quality, a graphical equalizer (currently only for MP2/MP3) and accurate analyzer.
Currently there are engines for the following architectures:
- m68k-amigaos - Classic AmigaOS 3.x
It is not meant for use in original 68k Amigas but for emulators like WinUAE / Amiga Forever
- ppc-powerup - AmigaOS 3.x with PowerUP or MorphOS
This has been the first implementation. It works directly over ppc.library calls from AmigaAMP and therefore is called 'internal'.
- ppc-warpup - AmigaOS 3.x with WarpUP
Technically seen it is a seperate executable which runs as normal AmigaOS Task and behaves like a Plugin. Therefore it is called 'external', just like the 68k and OS4 version, too.
- ppc-amigaos - AmigaOS 4 final
Works just like the WarpUP and 68k versions but was specially translated for OS4. This is the first public version and may still contain bugs. But all beta testers have had no serious problems anymore. There were few crashes but without obvious reasons.
If anybody can reproduce bugs or crahes then the author can make available the special debug version. A GrimReaper-Log inclusive Stack Trace of this debug version then should be sufficient to specify the problem.

Mailbox-Software: CNet Amiga Pro 5.10 available
Already since New Year's Eve Storm's Edge Technologies is offering the version 5.10a of the mailbox software CNet Amiga Pro. Sysops already using version 5.x can get the update free of charge.
Since the acquisition of the program from Todd H. Knight the version 5.10a is meant as the first update after more than ten years, Storm's Edge Technologies claims. However it doesn't offer new features, but it fixes a part of the bugs and security issues of version 5.07. (snx) (Translation: tz)

- 'Swap' works again
- 'PrintDir' almost rewritten to take the data from the ListBrowser.gadget lists

- Beta 5: No more Server tabs anymore! its still a little buggy, but give it a try anyway

WinUAE: MP3-encoding with support for multiple processors
Bernd Roesch's winuae_lame for the Amiga emulator WinUAE (starting from version 1.3.4) allows the use of multiple processors and cores when encoding MP3 files. At the bottom of it is the use of the native LAME version for Windows.
Here, each launched winuae_lame process searches for a free processor. Thus, with four processor cores, three of them can create an audio file in MP3 format each, while the fourth continues to be fully available for the Amiga emulation.
Included in the archive is, in addition to the Readme file with the installation instructions, the source code as well. This shows how to query messages of a Windows program under AmigaOS, and can serve as a guideline for other programs with multiple processor support.
But reportedly, instead of using Windows programs, you could also write your own program code in alib.
Version 1.3.4 of WinUAE is required, since only starting from this is it possible to obtain the corresponding Windows path information for an Amiga file name.
It must be pointed out that files within hardfiles cannot be used for this purpose, but Amiga drives are required which can be accessed from the Windows side as well.
The author wishes everyone a happy new year.

AmigaOS 4: FinalWriter patch for the Final update
Because the word processor FinalWriter 97 doesn't work anymore under the Final update of AmigaOS 4.0 Peter Gordon wrote a patch as interim solution.
This one was done "quick & dirty" so it should only be used if you do rely on FinalWriter 97 (or another program affected by this - e.g. possibly older versions of GoldED). It is not ecxluded that the patch will cause problems with other programs (e.g. IBrowse).
How it works: The 68k functions AllocMem() and AllocVec() are patched so that these functions make 8 bytes available at the beginning and the end of the buffer. In addition is the size of the allocated memory area at AllocVec() - as under AmigaOS/68k - saved in the four bytes before the affected area.
If you call the patch from the startup-sequence please put "Run >NIL:" before it as the patch can't be finished, otherwise the startup-sequence would stop.

For the MorphOS-SDK there is an update of the statistical GCC library libnix for developers under the title link.
Changes:
- stdio init no longer reads off bounds memory if __stdiowin is set to "" (it's still not valid to do so though (read SAS/C docs))
- strcoll/xfrm won't pull in libauto/external LocaleBase any more
- mbstowcs/wcstombs behaves properly when destination is NULL (they are still dummies though, so don't expect widechar to work)
- no more semaphore lockups that could occur in certain situations (thanks to HAK for finding such a situation)

SystemPatch written by Sante Nocciolino changes diverse operating system routines to increase the performance of computers with newer 68k-processors. The highest speed increase can be gained on 68060-systems but the patch can be applied on all Amigas from a 68020 upwards.
Version 2.98 does not use CPU specific CopyMem-routines anymore because the versions which does not depend on processors are faster.

AfA: Second beta version of Zune port AOZ
Bernd Roesch still has published a second beta version.
The new AOZ-promoter can now move tasks which were started by the Shell. If the promoter window is open (Ctrl+Shift+Z) all tasks are displayed which tries to access MUI. So it is easier to find the task name of the program which is to be moved. You have to copy the promoter to the WBStartup folder.
Please take care that you will not move the task ramlib if you want to continue using MUI (otherwise some MUI-programs may crash).
From this version on you can find a FAQ file where it is described how you can continue running programs under Zune (Scalos is the only program which is known).
The installer now copies the MUI classes Speedbar, MCPFrame, Filelist and Hotkeystring. If you have not installed these classes so far and do not require them nevertheless you can accept the corresponding message of the installer - AOZ will be installed correctly.
The repeated drawing has been fixed which mainly slowed down YAM and SimpleMail.
MUIM_Application_NewInput has been introduced as new function which makes other programs working - e.g. Voodoo-X.

Through this, plain ANSI-C programs (OpenFirmware-calls and standard I/O) can be launched directly from the firmware, without needing to launch a "proper" operating system first. (snx) (Translation: cad)

Webbrowser: IBrowse 2.4 available
Today version 2.4 of the MUI-based Webbrowser IBrowse has been published. The browser can be bought from IOSpirit. Registered users of the previous version 2.x will get the update for free.
Additional to several buf fixes version 2.4 has got some news just like the plugin interface and context sensitive mouse pointer. This is the official press release:
"Lund, Sweden, 22nd December 2006 - Stefan Burstrom and the IBrowse Team
are pleased to announce the immediate release of the much anticipated
update to IBrowse 2.3.
IBrowse 2.4 brings web browsing on AmigaOS to a new level - below is a
very brief summary of the changes since version 2.3:
- New integrated Search Bar, allowing you to easily perform searches of your favourite sites. Search engines can be added manually or automatically via the Mycroft project site
- The Status Bar has been overhauled to optionally provide the status of IBrowse graphically. Due to requiring less space than text, this has allowed us to show additional statuses such as when Javascript is being processed
- Plugin API system for embedded objects based on the v4 NPAPI (Netscape Plugin API) to allow for easier porting of NS compatible plugins, this is used to allow IBrowse to display embedded objects (such as flash animations) within the browser when a suitable plugin is available
- Support for AmiSSLv3 has been added to IBrowse 2.4, allowing the use of the most up to date SSL implementation available for AmigaOS
- Context sensitive mouse pointers have been added, providing different mouse pointers in different areas of IBrowse
- Background tab loading has finally been added to the Browser Tabs. Links can be opened in new browsers which remain inactive, allowing you to continue browsing the original page uninterrupted
- The spoofing engine has been totally re-written for 2.4, and provides a range of pre-defined spoofing options
- The JavaScript engine has been improved yet further providing support for more event handlers, and improved DOM support, along with some significant speed increases in certain areas. It now supports the complete JavaScript 1.6 extension, as found in Firefox 2.0, along with the majority of JavaScript 1.5 and the revision 3 of the ECMAScript (ECMA-262) specification
- HTTP compressed content support has been added, which includes both gzip and deflate algorithms
- On websites which ask for a username and password in a HTML based form, IBrowse can now (optionally) save these details for future visits
- Web Advert Control Language (WACL) is a feature of IBrowse based on a proposal by Stefan Stuntz for a user configurable, flexible scripting language to control the display of adverts on webpages
- Improved general stability and memory leaks plugged
- Hundreds of other minor and major bug fixes + improvements, and increased tolerance of broken sites for better compatibility
All these improvements greatly improve the browsing experience, and allow IBrowse to offer compatibility with many more websites than before.
IBrowse 2.4 is available from IOSPIRIT - to purchase, please visit
http://amiga.iospirit.de (registered users of IBrowse 2.x can upgrade
for free, and there is a special upgrade price available to registered
IBrowse 1.x users)."

MorphOS-Team: Update of the JIT-compiler Trance
A new version of the Just-In-Time Compiler Trance has been released for MorphOS 1.4.5. The changes since the previous release are:
- Fixed a bug that would make certain IBrowse CPU versions crash (at least IBrowse 2.3 and 2.4)
- Some SAS/C float/double integer calculation fixes (lsd/asd X flag). For example, the integer version of IBrowse's javascript.library
- Addx/Subx with predecrement was fixed. These instructions are very rare, but could be used for some multiprecision math
- Trancestats has been updated to work properly with the latest MUI versions
In order to install Trance v50.12 (09.12.2006) on your MorphOS system, please download the update from the MorphOS download portal or FTP server. Then, follow these steps:
- Copy MorphOS/C/trance to MOSSYS:C/
- Copy MorphOS/Libs/trance.library to MOSSYS:Libs/
- Copy Utilities/Trancestats SYS:Utilities/
- Reboot
The MorphOS Team wishes everyone Happy Holidays and a Great New Year! (snx)

Windows/C64: Christmas updates for Catweasel and MMC64 / tUM sponsoring
Press release Just in time for Christmas, we have an update for our Catweasel-customers that fixes two small bugs and adds a lot of new disk formats. The list of formats would go beyond the scope of this news-item, therefore we have chosen a few special formats:
VERSAdos: Dr. Kümmerle of the department for safety and radiation protection of the Research Centre Jülich has sent sample disks of a Motorola VERSAdos computer, because the Research Centre had to comply with laws about archiving measurement data. More than 2000 disks have been archived and copied to up-to-date media using the Catweasel.
MHS Bootdisk: Douglas Tennant has sent a disk to us that is used to start an MHS machine. Since these disks cannot be copied using the original legacy equipment, the Catweasel now ensures that the machines can be operated in the future, using backup copies of the bootdisks.
Casio sampler disk: Casio has used disk drives in their samplers that spin at unusually high speeds. The Catweasel floppy controller has a variable bitrate, so it can read and write these disks in off-the-shelve drives. This is a good example that the topic of data recovery is not limited to computer technology. More floppy disk formats of music instruments will be implemented in future updates of the Catweasel driver software, such as the legendary synthesizer Emulator II.
If you have disks that are not yet supported by the Catweasel, please don't hesitate to contact us!
The new driver version has been reported to be stable since the last update, therefore it has left beta state. It can be downloaded for free from our support site.
Direct download: CWMK42200.zip
Planned formats for the next version of the driver are: Apple IIe, Macintosh 800K and 400K disks, and DEC RX01 and RX02 disks that have been requested by Mr. Axel Thiel of the German Federal Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Investigation.
MMC64 updates
The new BIOS-version v1.04 and the recovery disk are available for free download from our support site. The MP3-plugin that enebales the MP3@64 module on the MMC64 has been improved: Playback on NTSC machines now works errorfree.
individual Computers sponsors tUM-Party

IRC-client: Wookiechat 2.4.1 Beta 4
James Carroll has published a new beta version of his MUI-based IRC-client Wookiechat for AmigaOS 3/4. Changes since the last release:
- Beta 3: You can close the leftmost server tabs now. But it doesnt yet select another tab straight away, you have to click on another one yourself
- Beta 4: You can turn the smaller tab sizes on by running wookiechat with the "smalltabs" switch. i.e. "run wookiebeta_os3 smalltabs". It will default to the regular tab sizes

Aminet: Status-Update December 2006
Press release: The calm season has come again. But while other people are preparing Christmas we still have improved Aminet further:
The search function now allows to search through archives: If you are looking for some certain library or header-file you can go to Advanced Search -> Contents.
Additional to the download statistics now the figures of the downloads are shown - you can now sort your search results by popularity!
Searching through the readme-files was accelerated and besides this the standard search function was extended so you can now specify path names: Just like the old Aminet search function "quake game/shoot" now shows only results from this directory.
The Web-based Upload-Interface was completely revised. Uploader can choose if you want to upload a written readme or if you would rather enter the information in a formular.
With us2.aminet.net an American mirror is available again. You can access us2.aminet.net only via HTTP.
Additionally there are many improvements and minor bug fixes. Please have a look at Changelog for further details.
A last note: In 2006 we had more uploads than in 2005, 2004 and 2003 - even in 1992 as the Aminet started we had not so many uploads. Currently we need only 130 uploads to reach 2002.
Greetings,
The Aminet-Team (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOne: Revised Linux kernel
Under the title link, a revised Linux kernel of version 2.6.16.35 for the AmigaOne was released by Gerhard Pircher as announced. Furthermore, the AmigaOne kernel 2.6.8 was changed again.
Changes:
- Recompiled the 2.6.8 kernel, as there was a minor bug in the platform setup code
- The 2.6.8 kernel includes modules for Mac-On-Linux 0.9.70:
I don't know if Mac OS X will work, but I was able to load the yaboot bootloader within MOL and the system didn't lock up
- The 2.6.16.35 kernel supports USB EHCI. Thanks again to Marcus Comstedt for the patch
- Removed the transfer request limit for IDE LBA48 devices:
Please report if you experience DMA timeout errors. I couldn't reproduce them, thus I hope the workaround is not needed anymore

AmigaOS 4: patch for using TD64 file systems
Fredrik Wikstrom's td64 patch enables the use of TD64 file systems under AmigaOS 4 - e.g. the 68k versions of the NTFileSystem or the
FATFileSystem.
The NSD device drivers of AmigaOS 4 (e.g. the a1ide.device) are modified in a way that they also support the TrackDisk64 standard
(TD64). The latter was suggested in 1996 by Ralph Babel and supported by a group
of developers; later on did Ralph Schmidt distribute such a patch for the FastFileSystem.
Both implementations, TD64 and NSD, are a 64 bit enhancement to read and write from/to harddisks bigger than 4 GB in size.
While TD64 had been used among others by phase 5 controllers became the New Style Device standard (NSD) by Heinz Wrobel under
AmigaOS 3.5 official part of the operating system.
With AmigaOS 4 the usage of NSD is kept upright and in MorphOS TD64 is continued.
With this background TD64 file systems - like the support of NTFS, EXT2, XFS and FAT created by Marek Szyprowski originally for MorphOS and
also for AmigaOS/68k released - couldn't be used
until now under AmigaOS 4.
Please note, though, that this is the first version of the td64patch and that the author hasn't made ample tests. The use is therefore at
one's own risk.

Programming language: PureBasic becomes freeware, sources partly released
The Amiga version of the BASIC dialect PureBasic isn't continued anymore so that the developer has decided to release the whole package as freeware and to make parts of the source code publicly available.
Released were the source code of the complete command set, the IDE (Integrated Develepment Environment) as well as the source codes for some tools.
The compiler is for all versions of PureBasic identical - as the Windows, Mac OS X and Linux versions are still distributed commercially theses source codes aren't available.
People who make improvements in the code of PureBasic are invited to make these available to the original developer so that they can be implemented in future Amiga versions. The PureBasic developer agrees to port the newest built of the compiler for such versions to the Amiga.

Dream 17: Request for support
Dream 17 is a tribute to the game developers of Team 17 which are responsible for such titles like Worms or the Alien Breed serie. Additional to detailed information, screenshots and other specials at Dream 17 you can find all Amiga titles of the game developers for legal download.
Under the title link Dream 17 asks for support because in the next year the current server which was for free cannot be used any longer and a commercial one must be used.
The maintainers of the site ask for donations via PayPal to keep this offer alive.
Above all support is required for selling fan articles. Therefore somebody is needed who at least can create a vector graphic of the Dream 17 logo.
