Javascript: TAWS - The Amiga Workbench Simulation 0.30
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 (including Odyssey).

Changes of version 0.30:
-
TAWS Early Preset Selection:
- New menu to select a preset upon starting and booting directly into its configration.
- By checking «Remember Selection» the selection can be saved (Cookie).
- By checking «Skip This Next Time» the selection will be be skipped from now on (Cookie).
- The corresponding setting in «Preferences» is «Skip preset selection on startup» and can be reset there.
- The menu can fully be controlled by keyboard (cursor keys and shortcuts according to the underlined characters).
- Clicking «Cancel» will get you to the kickstart image.
- New Preset: «BetterWB»
-
OS 4.1: keyboard shortcuts for the prefs programs. The following gadgets can be controlled by keyboard pressing the key that's underlined in the corresponding label:
- Checkbox: check/uncheck
- Textbox: set focus while «Return»/«Enter» removes focus
- Cycle: cycle forwards or backwards if shift key is pressed
- Slider: increase value or decrease value if shift key is pressed
- Button: click (supported since OS 3.5 and higher)
-
Preferences:
-
Moving settings to their own preferences:
- Font
- Workbench, new option: No volume gauge
- «PowerWindows patch» has been relabled to «Off-screen window dragging»
-
«SolidWindows patch» has been split to:
- Drag window with contents
- Resize window with contents
-
Prefs programs: positioning according to OS version:
- up to OS 2.0: upper left corner
- up to OS 3.1: upper left corner, but below the menubar
- ab OS 3.5: centered
- Prefs programs: from OS 2.0 and higher the labels have colons.
- Palette: separator added above the buttons
- AmigaGuide: missing AmigaGuide help files added (for the languages french, spanish, and polish), updated files for all other languages.
- Amiga Early Startup Control: prevent browsers from blurring the Topaz font.
-
Bugfixes:
- Improved positioning of the drive icons
- After «putting away» an icon the scrollbars of its window is recalculated.
- Presets/Reset to last saved: the color of the active window is now correctly reset to its saved value.
- Presets: minor color corrections
-
Preferences:
- Style «OS1» removed for this is not implemented yet (bug since v0.29)
- Changing the transparency of inactive windows was not set to windows that have been moved previously.
- After loading icon's style and size from the cookie at startup, the values were only set to drawer icons and not to Workbench icons as well.
- Deactivated the browser's autocompletion and spellchecking on textboxes
- Font: changing the default font doesn't affect already opened AmigaShell windows anymore.
- MagicMenuPrefs: improved position of the %-character
- Chrome / Firefox / Opera: fixed menu shortcuts
- MS Edge: fixed gradients in OS4-style (menubar, buttons, cycles)
- Firefox & AmigaShell: correction of the word wrapping (not yet fixed for Internet Explorer and MS Edge)
- Odyssey & AmigaShell: workaround for a bug: the character «zero width space» should actually be invisible but is rendered as a square.
- NetSurf: «JavaScript support is not sufficient» guru is displayed as intended.
- Safari (Windows): fixed button click that is invoked by a keyboard shortcut (f.e. when creating a new drawer).

Patch and commodity collection: MCP 1.49c
MCP 1.49c already has been available for two years but only as part of Amikit. The update fixes a bug if MCP is used with an emulator with "Virtual Mouse Driver" enabled: This function now is compatible with the MCP patch "Solid Window Moving & Sizing". The MCP patch CycleToMenu does not work with Virtual Mouse Driver enabled: According to the MCP author this problem must be fixed in the emulator.
MCP 1.49c only is distributed as update for existing MCP installations. If you still have not MCP installed first you have to download and install the archive MCP 1.48.

MorphOS-Tools: DateTime, Mousecoords, PixelPicker, TopTasks and Notch
The team of #amigazeux has released some new screenbar plugins for MorphOS:
- DateTime is a configurable replacement for MorphOS titlebar clock and shows the date and time.
- Mousecoords will show current X and Y mouse coordinates on the screen.
- PixelPicker reveals the information about a pixel (or at least its colour) in a neat display in the screen's titlebar.
- While clicking TopTasks it opens a window showing the top 10 tasks currently hogging all your precious CPU time.
- Notch basically displays a very popular and configurable Notch in the screen title.

AmigaOS 4: X11 environment AmiCygnix 1.4
Edgar Schwan's AmiCygnix is an Unix environment for AmigaOS 4. It is not an emulation but all programms are nativly compiled for AmigaOS 4. AmiCygnix provides a directory and data structure which is similar to a Unix installation.
After a long break of development now new versions of the basic archives have been released. Mainly bugs were fixed which did prevent X-Servers from correctly working on new Amiga systems.
New in AmiCygnix-Base:
- All display drivers and the X server binary were revised to fix the following problems:
- With newer graphics cards like the Radeon HD 7xxx the colours of the
display were wrong. This was completely fixed in the drivers picasso96clonewbdb and picasso96wb.
- Since AmigaOS 4.1 final Update 1 it came to program crashes, if the graphic driver picasso96clonewbdb was used. Is fixed now.
- The display driver picasso96clonewbdb can now also open 32 bit screens internally, however, the data is still processed in 16 bits.
- The print command "lpr" now supports the printout via Turboprint whereby the print quality is increased.
- Updated SSL support over OpenSSL and GnuTLS. The included Trusted Certificates have been updated.
- Many minor improvements and bug fixes.
New in AmiCygnix tools:
- The browser NetSurf has been relinked with OpenSSl 1.01o. Many SSL keyed pages could not be opened anymore. The problem is now largely eliminated.
- The image viewer GPicView is now available in the latest version 0.2.5.

File system: smbfs 2.1 released after two years of development
In last two years smbfs was comprehensively revised and rewritten for the SMBv1/CIFS protocol based on the historical and official documents.
The new smbfs 2.1 improves the robustness and compatibilty of the file system which e.g. can access NAS systems and corresponding computers. The support of Unicode, big files (> 4 GB) and resuming of interrupted connections to the data server were added. A lot of bug fixes were done as well.

Demo scene: Haujobb provides self-developed demo framework
For the development of their demos, the demo group Haujobb uses a self-developed framework including a cross-platform, vbcc-based development environment. The framework is called "WickedOS" and offers programmers of assembler e.g. access to 20 different chunky-To-planer screen modes, several music playback routines and interrupt entry points. Additional to a traditional "Multi Tasking Killer" mode, there is also multitasking environment including hardware abstraction layer.
As target architecture for the framework upgraded Amigas are specified, AGA, a 68020 and a FPU are minimum required. The framework itself will be released little by little on Github as well as the corresponding documents completed.
Already in August both Haujobb programmers 'Hellfire' and 'Noname' did introduce their ihre method of cross-platform demo development in a speech.
