File Manager: DiskMaster 2.6 released
Since today, the file manager DiskMaster2 is available in version 2.6 for AmigaOS 3.x and AmigaOS 4. Counted among the numerous changes, which you can gather from the enclosed DiskMaster2.guide file in detail, is particularly that Reaction is now made use of extensively.
However, the program is still content with V41 here, wherefore the 68K version of DiskMaster2 still runs under MorphOS, provided that the classes from the ClassAct2Demo archive in Aminet are installed. The 68K version is compiled with SAS-C 6.58, the OS4 version, from the same source code, with GCC 4.0.2 and clib2 1.198. (snx) (Translation: cad)

AmiPodder 1.4 with video podcast support
Robert Williams' freeware program AmiPodder, for now the only Amiga receiver for so called podcasts, was updated to version 1.4. The ARexx program requires further software to work, this software is listed on the installation page.
The most evident news is the support for video podcasts. The identification of such a podcast triggers a forwarding of it to a video player of your choice (tested ones are Mplayer and Frogger) or if applicable to a portable player.
The program and specifications of what else is new can be found following the title link.

Minimig: Amiga 500 as FPGA reimplementation
Under the title link says an amiga.org member that during the last twelve months he has newly implemented the complete chipset of an Amiga 500 into a FPGA (field programmable gate array). He used a Spartan-3 FPGA development board programmed in Verilog. Please consider that there is no further confirmation of the existance of this project apart from the developer's statement and some images (see below).
According to the designer is in the current version of the project codenamed "Minimig" support for sound and keyboard still missing, and the emulation of the flopppy controller is not very accurate (as "floppy discs" are MMC flash cards used with ADF images stored on them). The Workbench as well as some games (New Year Lemmings is named) are allegedly already running on the prototype.
The FPGA contains the complete Amiga chipset (Agnus, Paula, Denise and both CIAs) including ChipRAM but not CPU and FastRAM. The two inmdependent bus systems of a real Amiga were put together to a combined synchronous bus with a 7.09379 Mhz clock and existing only within the FPGA. RAM and CPU are linked via two bridge chips (synchronous-asynchronous conversion) with this internal bus. A real ROM does not exist, instead there's a bootloader loading the Kickstart from a memory card.

Genesi: developers program for Dual-MP970 and Efika 5k2 boards
According to Raquel Velasco and Bill Buck from Genesi, there'll be a new developers program similar to the previous one for Open Desktop Workstations (amiga-news.de reported), but this time for the Open Server Workstation (Dual-970MP system) and the Efika 5k2 board.
They say: "We are going to be getting this started in Q2 2006. We will be shipping Open Server Workstations (dual 970MP) to Developers in the hundreds over the quarter. We will also be starting a program for the EFIKA 5K2, perhaps a bit sooner.
We will be doing this in the same manner as we have done with the Open Desktop Workstation. If you participated in an earlier program you are still eligible for this one as long as you have done something with the machine you were given and you have documented it."
Developers interested in this program can contact Genesi via email.

Disk drive emulation with Flash memory card
Under the title link describes Tim N. Taschpulatow his hobby project of an emulated Amiga disk drive using a SD/MMC memory card.
With this hardware, for example linked as drive DF1:, you can read an ADF diskfile on an Amiga computer like from a real disk. Write access is presently not possible. Photos of this construction can be found in a Russian thread on Amiga.org.ru.

Status update: AmiZilla / GTK-MUI-Wrapper
Press release: Right, it' s been awhile since we had an update- as we didn't have much time free, things were quiet there for awhile. But recently it's been quite exciting!
Firstly, oli has finished his GTK->MUI AROS Bounty- though not actually part of the AmiZilla project it will be of great help! To get the GUI working, there may be some extra GTK and GLib functions needed, and GDK will need porting. Some GDK Functions can be ported as is, but many will need porting to Cybergraphics/Picasso96 and possibly MUI. GDK accesses many X11 calls, so these will need to be converted or possibly the code copied from the X11 source.
GTK->MUI Screenshots
GTK->MUI Demo code and compiled exes (68k)
Also, OS4 people have ported the the GTK->MUI emulation layer from AROS to AmigaOS4:
GTK->MUI layer screenshots (OS4)
Max has done some initial work in getting the NSPR (low-level OS abstraction layer) working under AmigaOS4, which looks promising.
But the real exciting bit is Piyush Khengar (Captain Moo Moo on AW), who is a lecturer at King's College London, is getting five of his 3rd year Electronic Engineering students who have covered C/C++ in their 1st two years of study, to help on the AmiZilla project as the practical part of their coursework!
Now, great as this is, just remember that these students aren't that experienced in programming, or familiar with the Amiga OS. They may take awhile to get to grips with such a big project like this, so don't expect too much from them for a few months- they're meant to be spending 5-10 hours a week for 6 months on their projects.
AmiZilla has been split up into individual projects for them- as we have five students, we have added in creating a GTK->Reaction layer to AmigaOS4, and maybe porting AmiZilla to MorphOS and AROS, as well as the AmigaOS 3.1 target:
Project Number: 1
Port the GDK library from Linux to AmigaOS3.1. The GDK library is a medium level video abstraction layer for the GTK Library on Linux.
Project Number: 2
Help with the GTK->Reaction project (AmigaOS3.9 and AmigaOS4).
Project Number: 3
Create a GTK emulation layer for the Reaction GUI on AmigaOS3.9 and AmigaOS4.
Port the GDK emulation layer (Project #1) to Amiga OS3.9 and AmigaOS4.
Project Number: 4
Create a GTK and GLib emulation layer for the Reaction GUI on AmigaOS3.9 and AmigaOS4.
Project Number: 5
Finish off programming the XPCOM, and NSPR layer, and get it all working, and get AmiZilla compiling and running. Also put an Arexx port on AmiZilla.
Project Number: 6
Finish off programming the NSPR, and get it all working, and get AmiZilla compiling and running.
Get an X11 Server running on AmigaOS3.1, and compile the GTK, GLib and GDK sources (Linux ones) directly into libs, and get an AmiZilla Window up.
Port AmiZilla to AROS and MorphOS (using the MUI GUI).
For those interested, the full specs for these projects are here:
Amizilla Project Specifications (LZX)
Amizilla Project Specifications (Text)
And a Resource List has been started here: Amizilla Resource List
Note: some of these may yet be adjusted (especially as there are 6 projects and only 5 programmers- we had a couple of programmers drop out). And I realise that we can't use the C++ lib in Mozilla, and we won't use it in the GTK emulation layers either.
As we have five students, we would appreciate it if some developers could come and help the students! We only have about 3 developers active in AmiZilla, and none of us have much free time, so we're concerned we may not be able to help them enough- especially in the early stages, until they get more experience and can work more on their own. Note: they would only have to provide advice, and help the students if they get stuck- they don't have to actually spend time doing any coding if they don't want to! Note: at the moment the students will only be researching over the holidays, they won't actually be coding until they come back next year.
Also, as we're doing ports to AmigaOS4, MorphOS and AROS, it'd be good if devs from those platforms, could help the students with any OS specific problems they may face on those platforms. :)
And again, remember, there is the AmiZilla bounty, which goes to people who help in the project (when finished of course).
To join the AmiZilla list, either send an email to amizilla-subscribe@yahoogroups.com , or go to the AmiZilla Yahoo Groups website (but you need to create a Yahoo account, to do it this way). Also, donations to help encourage more developers, are most welcome too! :) - AmiZilla- DiscreetFX

MorphOS: Free Pascal 2.0.2 released
Free Pascal Compiler version 2.0.2 is now officially released. Supported platforms, as usual, include MorphOS/PowerPC. Version 2.0.2 is mainly a bugfix release for 2.0.0, which was released in May, this year. However, MorphOS version also includes a few new features.
The following extras were added since 2.0.0:
- Added datatypes.library support
- Added OpenGL/TinyGL support. It's not finished yet, but already allows to do things like this, this or this
- Debug mode in the runtime libraries. It sends messages to MorphOS logserver about file and memory management when you want it to do so (release RTL is built w/o this, you need to rebuild RTL to use it)
- Added new eyecandy truecolor icons for directory and documentation. Thanks to Andre 'JoBBo' Siegel for the icons. You can happily browse FPC directory from Ambient now
The release includes the following MorphOS-releated fixes:
- File handling code had some big overhaul, cleanups, and overall it's a lot more stable and robust now
- Hopefully fixed FPU initialization of RTL
- Unix & Amiga path conversion was broken is some cases for linker script generation; fixed
- Lots of other minor fixes
For Free Pascal Compiler 2.0.4, MUI support will be added. First screenshots:

The first really working stuff
The first simple MUI custom class written in FPC (snx)

Spectrum Emulator: Patch for Asp under AHI 6.0
Under the title link, the author of the Spectrum emulator Asp illustrates how users, by whom problems occur under the newest version of the sound system AHI, can patch Asp themselves by means of a hex editor, in order to dispose of the problems. A new version of the emulator is already in the works.

Genesi: Home Media & Communication System and EFIKA 5K2 available (Update)
Genesi is pleased to announce the availability of the award-winning
Genesi Home Media and Communication System. There are a number of optional features available on request in the online PegasosPPC Store.
Genesi's Director of Open Source Software, Pieter Van den Abeele commented on the release: "We are selling the customer a box optimized to run MythTV, not a software experience like Mac OS X or Windows Media Center Edition. We are assembling existing open source components into a whole. We think this is something the open source software community will appreciate. We would like to see people with the Genesi Home Media and Communication System build their own versions of the software. We hope to create a cycling effect of innovation and improvement in the software around the hardware. By building a community we build a market that is attractive to VAR, for example we are looking forward to Terra Soft Solutions selling their version of this product soon." For those not interested in developing their own software the Home Media and Communication System comes ready to go with software built over an AltiVec optimized version of
Gentoo Linux.
Also of note, the recently announced EFIKA 5K2 board is available with a minimum order of 50 units. The boards include the Pegasos HAL/OF implementation and run the software currently available on the
Open Desktop Workstation.

Update: (20:45, 05.12.05, snx)
According to Genesi, the tuner is an analogue one while DVB-S/T/C and HDTV are in the works. Furthermore, "the hard drives are enclosed in a sound-proof casing. The heat of the hard drive is transferred to the outside of the casing using heatpipes. The HD case transfers its heat to the heatsinks on the side of the case. The HD case is specially mounted (suspended) as well to prevent any vibrations from becoming audible. The same goes for the PSU."
Genesi will also be publishing a "How To" manual. Then one can buy a PegasosPPC and just build a Home Media and Communication System himselve. (snx)
