• Implemented wipes (Fades, Flips...) with configurable wipe speed
• Implemented slideshow with configurable slide time
• Added 'First' and 'Last' options in Control menu
• Added Scale Mode setting (Normal or Bilinear scaling)
• Added mousewheel support (for zooming in/out)
• Added requesters when end/start of list is reached while browsing which also allow looping over the beginning/end of the list

• Bug im Moduleplayer entfernen, damit dieser auch auf Amiga-Emulationen sauber läuft (MOS, UAE, Amithlon, OS4). Diese Systeme sind zum Zeitpunkt des Releases des Spieles kaum gefragt oder noch nicht wirklich existent gewesen. Aus diesem Grunde bestehen hier noch einige kleine Probleme. Der Code liegt in asm vor. Preis ist Verhandlungssache.
  Ziel ist es die Module sauber ins Spiel zu implementieren, da wir nun hochwertige Module bekommen und auch die PC Version mit einen guten Module-Player versehen wird. Die Amiga-Version soll da nicht hinten anstehen.
• Optimierungen der Grafik-Routinen, damit die HiRES-Karte auch auf dem 68k Amiga schnell genug läuft. Preis ist Verhandlungssache.

• AVIOutput codec settings stored in registry and other small tweaks.
• HRTMon updated to 2.30, WHDLoad-commands supported.
• Some custom chipset timing tweaks.
• Uaescsi.device freeze problem fixed.
• Boot freeze if A4000 ROM was used without AGA.
• Original extended ADF read bug.
• Larger than 1280 wide fullscreen modes work.
• Sound "led" filter configuration data was read incorrectly.
• AVIOutput does not split the AVI anymore when focus was lost.
• D3D filter fullscreen/windowed switching should not freeze anymore.
• Integrated mousehack access fault fixed.

• Erstellung von 24 Bit-Toolbars
• Austauschbare Ordner-Shapes
• Laden, Abspielen und Umwandeln von Anim-GIF-Dateien ins Anim 5/7-Format des Amiga
• Einzelbildzerlegung von GIF-Animationen mit wählbarem Speicherpfad
• TTFont-Effekte
• Fehlerbereinigte Alchemy-Vorschau
• Übernahme aller MagicSpray-Projekte ins Hauptarchiv (hierdurch jetzt 7,5 MB groß)

Editor's Thoughts and Introduction:
 I am typing this on one of the hottest days this year, in the midst 
of a heat warning that covers more than two full days. Now while 
that's no problem for our readers in the southern hemisphere, it's a
pretty good reason for those in this part of the world to just stay 
inside and play with your Amiga. We do have information on a couple of 
games this issue that could help you pass the time enjoyably.
 It has been a pretty quiet month overall and not all the news that 
did happen is cheerful. We were disappointed to hear of the canceling 
of AmiRevival. This is another sign that the Amiga community really 
needs "a shot in the arm" to use an old American expression. It might 
have received a bit of a boost this month with the announcement of a 
small number of refurbished A1s becoming available. Details below. 
And, surprise of surprises perhaps, there's even a cool new expansion 
module available for the A600. Glad to see the smallest Amiga still 
gets remembered from time to time. But we're still waiting for ready 
availability of new hardware. That would really make the summer more 
enjoyable. In the meantime, there are some fun things available in the 
community. We hope you enjoy reading about a few of them in this 
issue.
 Brad Webb,
 Editor

AmiGBG, the crew known from the Swedish Amiga fair with the same name, 
and Compusphere, a group of true scene veterans, joins forces and 
brings you Amiga Summer Party 2006. The event will be a true scene 
party with all the proper ingredients. We begin with some demo coding 
and beer, then we throw in some nice tunes mixed with some awesome 
graphics. And for the grand finale we spice it up another notch with a 
big kick ass barbeque.

www.amigasummerparty.se
Time: 25-27/8 2006 18:00
Place: Jorlandagarden, Gothenburg, Sweden

The name of the game is party, demos, music and gfx for Amiga, C64, 
Atari & PC. So join us at Jorlandagarden on the 25-27 of August, for a 
feast ye shall never forget. Meet the people, watch the demos, listen 
to the mods and party like there was new Amiga hardware.

Entrance fee to the party is 150 SEK with computer and 100 SEK 
without.

After much deliberation it saddens me (Ryu) to announce AmiRevival 
2006 has been cancelled.

I and a few other team members have tried hard to secure exhibitors 
over recent weeks with not much success. We had been given assurances 
by a few organisations that they would attend, or at least their 
products would be there but due to a lack of communications with them 
I have made the decision the show would not be viable.


Anyone who has purchased tickets will be getting a full refund in the 
next few days and if anyone has made any bookings that will leave them 
out of pocket please do contact me. I will do my best to try and 
compensate.

Many thanks to those who did pre-book tickets, both visitors and 
exhibitors, and thanks to those who contacted me over the past couple 
of weeks.

Further more I will be taking a step back from the scene for the 
foreseeable future, I will keep IntuitionBase.com online and will 
update it from time to time but I won't be sinking much effort into 
it. The Scunthorpe Amiga Group will remain but no meetings are 
planned, and I won't make any more plans until things pick up again.

Thanks to all those who have supported me over the years, I hope to 
keep in touch with you all!

Adios and thanks for all the fish

Amont-Infomatique recently received delivery of a small consignment of 
AmigaOne motherboards for testing prior to redistribution among all 
AmigaOne dealers worldwide.

They did need some time to test them and prepare the new 
configurations, but you will very shortly be able to order a 
reconditioned AmigaOne from your favourite dealer!

Warning: quantities will be limited.

Update 16 July 2006 Some µA1-Cs are already ready to go out to 
dealers. News of the G4 modules is expected some time next week. Those 
wishing to trade in their existing G3 800MHz modules should contact t
heir local dealer for a possible trade-in (not all dealers may offer 
this).

Description:    Quake 3
Download:   quake3.lha       
Version:    1.31
Date:           07 Jul 06
Author:     ID software, ported by Thomas Frieden
Submitter:  Thomas Frieden
Email:          thomasf/hyperion-entertainment biz
Category:   game/fps
Replaces:   game/fps/quake3.lha
License:    Other
Distribute:     no
FileID:     1919


This is a quick and dirty port of Quake 3 for OS4. To play, you need 
the latest version of the Quake 3 data files (retail version plus all  
patches). You also need the latest MiniGL.library (included in this 
archive, copy to libs:).

Unpack Quake 3 data files to a directoy (say, dh1:games/Quake3), and 
extract the archive there. (As a reference, the quake3 binary should 
be in the same directory as the "baseq3" directory).

To launch, alter the q3 batch file (adjust the path according to your 
system) and run "q3" from shell.

The port uses the QVM jit, so it can also run all the mods (tested 
with Urban Terror).

Source code is available on OS4depot.net too. The port is unpotimized, 
so don't expect it to be blazing fast.


If you want to contact me, write a mail to 
thomasf()hyperion-entertainment.biz

DISCLAIMER: This software is provided as-is, with no guarantee for 
usability. 

Also note: This port has NOTHING to do with Hyperion Entertainment, 
it's a spare time project of me. DO NOT write to Hyperion 
Entertainment regarding support.

Note: Added gpl.txt. Many thanks to Christian Rosentreter for kindly 
making me aware of that.

Description:    Simple line printer daemon
Download:   lpd.lha      
Version:    1.0
Date:           16 Jul 06
Author:     Steven Solie
Submitter:  Steven Solie
Email:          ssolie/telus net

Distribute:     yes
FileID:     1935

I. Warning

 This version doesn't implement any security features.


II. Prerequisites

 You will need at least AmigaOS 4.0 installed on your computer.


III. Installation

 Copy the lpd binary to your SYS:Utilities or some other directory.

 Launch the Internet preferences program.
 Select the "Servers" section.
 Press the "New..." button to add a new inetd server.
 Pick the "printer" service from the list.
 Click "Program" and select where you installed the lpd binary.
 Make sure "Active" and "Use socket I/O streams" are both checked.

 After you save your Internet preferences the lpd server will be
 immediately available for use. No reboot required.


IV. Using lpd

 The lpd daemon is currently hard-coded to print whatever it receives
 directly to PAR: and nothing else.

 More options could be added. Please email with your requests.

 lpd.debug is also included which can be used to trouble-shoot 
problems. It will output all sorts of useful debug to the default 
serial port.

New and improved features...............


- Input event recording and playback (WIP)
- PC floppy drive drive sound emulation :)
- Mousehack-"driver" build-in.
- PC DD and HD floppy image support.
- Added improved audio filter and interpolation code from uade
  and other sound setting updates.
- Added build-in HRTMon debugger/monitor. (WIP)
- Action Replay for Amiga 1200 ROM image support.
- Arcadia emulation updates.
- Directory filesystem compatibility updates. (illegal characters in
  directory names work better now, some protection flag tweaks,
  more compatible disk capacity check if disk is very big,
  compatibility issues with \\server\share-directories fixed)
- Debugger updates. (improved trainer search command, fa-command,
  like in Action Replay, AGA color register dump etc..)

Bug fixes:

- Fix for random state restore freeze.
- AVIOutput crash, incorrect window size.
- Random Picasso96 screen mode switch crash.
- "Create hard disk imagefile"-option in harddisk settings fixed,
  previously it usually created corrupt hardfiles.

  non-interlace modes.
- D3D filter fullscreen freeze fixed.
- Priority-panel "pause emulation/disable sound output"-checkboxes
  were not initialized correctly.

And more smaller (and maybe bigger) changes ...

======================================================================

• game doesn't crash anymore if no TCP/IP stack is present (UDP sockets were used even if network-availability was set to false)
• fixed filerequesters to fix crashes (writes to NULL) when going to directory root in the filerequesters

• Fixed a bug on the Online Updater which fail to update some files due a CRC Checksum error reported by analizing not the correct chunk of data...
• To reload the daemon from giFTMui a timeout-Timer for daemon shutdown chekout is created, if such timer cannot be created for any reason a 'failed assertion' causes the interface to exit completely, This has been changed to avoid the assert()'ion check and instead trying to bind the daemon port should let us know as well when daemon isn't running to be reloaded. Also, such timeout-Timer calls a dispatcher on intervals of 300000 micro seconds, that value has been changed to 700K as well
• On a failed assertion situation, the chat tryes to re-connect itself to the server, due a common method from the chat custom class is invoked, this will no longer happen if such method is invoked disposing the class.
• Recent Ares versions don't report real stats, it's not a bug, at least not on our part. alas, giftd doesn't allow plugins *not* to provide stats, so we just return what the supernode tells us if it's an old supernode then it'll work, if it's not, it won't ...
• Stats window will no longer be activated while it is opened/updated
• Added new options to the giFTMui's MUI Settings, you can now load the settings from disk, save them to disk, restore current settings to the last saved, and restore and/or reset the settings to the defaults.
• Fixed a parser error which has made the Gnutella HTTP requests to be incomplete/truncated causing the supernodes to ignore us and hence there was the problem with this plugin not being able to connect on the latest build.
• Unfortunatelly there is somewhere some other issue which makes the plugin to take long time to reconnect on shutdown connections.. we should assume the problem comes from the "complicated" input and event notifications mechanism, which seems or probably isnt properly ported on the new shared libraries fashion, any help ?...
• optimized/improved a bit gift.library's logging facility, while using GLOB_STDERR and GLOB_STDOUT we'll check if pr_COS and pr_CES (which fail back to pr_COS when isnt available) aren't the same and hence avoid logging to both filehandlers. Also giftd.log filesize was checked on each write, making a too unnecessary/possible overload... now only every 1000 writes will be checked, which should be ok as the filesize limit is 10MB ...
• How FastTrack loads his banlist file and Gnutella loads his hostiles.txt file has been improved. Previously it was just Open()'ing the file and reading line-by-line, to read each line gift.library/file_read_line() was used, which function does "free-old-buffer > read-line-from-file > dup-line-to-memory", NOW we just "slurp" the whole file into memory and process it later internally in one step.
  PROS: should be working faster
  CONS: it needs the filesize's memory at once (about ~500KB)
• The maximun number of connections which OpenFT guess at startup has been down to 30 (it was 255) ... you can always override that value by using the appropiate option (max_active)
• How to request network statistics and how to launch the inspector has been changed... there may be now a bit more overload from the GUI but it will no longer require two standalone-signals on connection for the timers we used...
• Searches by realm should be now working fine for all networks.
• VerifyIncoming tool must be performed while the daemon isnt running, and giFTMui do not checked for that, Fixed.
• Optimized how data is received from the daemon... For information, previously we was receiving line-by-line and then processed each line/packet, that data was received reading byte-by-byte until a CRLF is found, furthermore we checked if that was a multi-line string (comming from a "malformed" META data though), which slowed even more the process... NOW we just receive all data available at once, and the data received are procesed internally without congesting the socket...
• There may be some situations where a Inspector could not work properly or fail without notice, those are RARE cases though!, What we have noticed is a little problem on the inspector process while a method is pushed to select the next entry on the downloads list, if in the process the user de-select the active entry or select an entry from the uploads list (which action automatically disables any active entry on the downloads list) once the pushed method take action on the next app loop the inspector will fail to continue as it was unable to get the information needed (from the active entry on the list) to launch a locator, at this step the inspector stopped working internally, but to the user eyes it is running (but doing nothing), and thats the only thing we have found buggy on the inspector procedure (at least for now), now if that happens the inspector will be properly fully aborted and in addition the user will be warned of the issue.
• Ghosting of the Stop button when it is clicked didn't worked properly to be re-enabled while using multi-lists, Fixed.
• Searches directed to the Ares network (by using giFTMui's protocol checkmark) and Locators launched for this same network wasn't working properly due a very stupid bug... the protocol name to be used on a search request and the check for online plugin state is fetched/detected given the network's HASH type, Ares uses "SHA1" and Gnutella "SHA", and on both functions we checked for the three first bytes of the Gnutella hash before than the Ares hash, making request directed to the Ares network interpreted like if what we wanted is about the Gnutella netowrk, FIXED!
• Sometimes a Locator cannot stablish the connection to the daemon due the connect event isn't notifyed... fixed...(hopefully!, and hopefully without side effects..)
• Fixed some string mismatch issues at giFTMui.cd, where updated strings at the build-in laungage wasn't at his time adapted as well on the catalog descriptor. Most important are string numbers #447, #417, #407, #380, #323, #321 where a formatting was changed (%s to %ld or viceversa), also strings #595, #593, #585, #593, #553, #166, #145, #142, #54 and #5 was minimal corrected for typos.
• Some users reported a issue about the OpenFT nodes file ends with 0 bytes of size and making on the next run unable to connect to the network, with the need of the user manually replacing the file, well, first is needed to mention that this happens due OpenFT do not stores nodes where we was unable to connect, but theres some factors to consider which that plugin leave out...(ie, dynamic IPs, not a 24/7 node, etc), also I should mention that Im in doubt if theres a bug somewhere since that behaviour do not happens from the first porting of the plugin, or it wasn't reported on the very firsts builds IIRC, so there will be two workarround for now to that issue, 1) the nodes file size will be checked and deleted if his size is 0, forcing the plugin to copy the nodes from the data dir (amigift:daemon/data/openft/). 2) the plugin will check for the enviroment variable DONT_PURGE_OPENFT_NODES before updating the nodes to disk, if such variable is found it will NOT try to leave out nodes where we was unable to connect. NOTE this way of "fixing" that issue is TOO lame and hence subject to change...
• Added a new giftd command-line option: TASKPRI/N Obviously is behaviour is to change the daemon task priority, giFTMui has a new slider object to change it as well.
• giFTMui has been translated to Italian language, Thanks a lot to Samir Hawamdeh for his work.
• German and Swedish catalogs contains some issues and has been renamed on the packages until they are fixed...
• bzlib.library can be now loaded from amigift:libs/ as well
• Starting a new search we will check now if any/some of the networks are online, warning the user if there is no online network and not proceding with the search then.
• Default Ares port for giFTMui settings was missing, Fixed.
• Requesters Timeout handling and downcheck was enabled by default where the appropiate is to have both disabled at a first run.
• some very little internal fixes...

• all tools now use magnetism
• path-objects can be filled
• linepatterns (see manual for detail)

• Speicherung des Qualitätsniveaus in der INI-Datei
• Verwaltung der Sendungsdaten über eine separate Datei (Sendungstage.txt)

• Use of Nodes to go from this to this in one click
• Full range of arrow/shapes at ends of line and connectors (MindSpace is now almost useful!)
• Wide range of preferences, including option to use AISS for main toolbar. Thanks Mason!

• Corrected 0 byte memory bug when loading/saving options
• Renamed the SAVESTATE folder to STATE
• Added 5 additional savestate slots
• Corrected some text strings

• Geändertes INI-Format: Aktualisierungen werden jetzt separat für Sendungsdaten und Programm-Upates verwaltet
• Einstellungsmenü für INI-Datei
• Mitteilungsfenster bei Aktualisierungen
• Server.txt
