`16.Jan.2022` ANF	Looking for demand: Zorro II/III graphics card with SAGA At the title link, in the forum of a1k.org, Gunnar von Boehn (Apollo team) is looking for interest in a graphics card based on the FPGA chipset of the Vampire turbo cards for Amigas with Zorro II or Zorro III slots. In prospect are the known SAGA graphics modes including a full HD resolution at 60 hertz and the new SAGA 3D functions, video acceleration, 16-bit audio and inclusion of the Amiga video signal for HDMI output. Since the drivers (P96/AHI) were already available and practically all other components were also at hand, the project could be completed relatively quickly if there was sufficient interest to buy one - allegedly even as early as this summer.

`12.Jan.2022` Ko-fi	AmigaOS 4: 'Lite XL' editor 1.16.12.7 At the end of last year, George Sokianos had announced with the release of version v1.16.12.3 that he had started porting the editor 'Lite XL', which originates from the Linux world (amiga-news.de reported). Yesterday he released the for the time being last update to v1.16.12.7 for this version branch and writes the following about it: "Today I did the last release of Lite XL for AmigaOS 4.1. Don't worry, I am not stopping working on this fine editor. On the contrary. I will stop working on the v1.16.12 source branch so to focus on the latest available version. The last few days I managed to port Lua 5.3 and Lua 5.4, as well as the PCRE2. Although the newer versions of Lua are not necessary yet, the PCRE2 is one of the mandatory libraries needed. All of them are highly experimental, and not tested thoroughly, but I am happy I managed to finish them. In the new v1.16.12.7 release, which is already available to be downloaded from my Git repository and OS4Depot, I did a few changes that might help with the SDL to use the Gfx Card in a better way, which will increase the overall speed. Also, I included a few plugins and colour schemas that are tested and working fine with this version, in case you would like to add some extra features or make it look better for you. I updated the README_OS4 file where you can find more information about all these additions, how to use them and a couple of tips 'n tricks that might help you. I hope it will keep you occupied until the next major release, which is going to be epic. If you want to track the progress of Lite XL v2 development, you can always check https://git.walkero.gr/walkero/lite-xl/issues/12 or make sure to watch this page, since I am going to update you frequently. Finally, I would like to thank you once more for your generous support. The motivation I get from you all is inexpressible." (dr) [News message: 12.

`11.Jan.2022`	RTG driver: P96 V3.2.2 released Jens Schönfeld (individual Computers) wrote: "The RTG driver P96 enjoys growing popularity: More then 40 paid downloads (more than a third of them for the full price or more) during the weeks since version V3.2.0 has been published, have taken us over the threshold of 30% cost coverage since we've taken ownership of the software in 2016. We'd like to send a big thank-you to the Amiga community for strong support and detailed bug reports in our support forum, which help us improve the software on a regular basis." Changes: Version 3.2.2 attempts one more time to deal with broken software: If a program like Descent opens a planar screen mode, but combines it with chunky rendering routines, the new version 3.2.2 can display a correct picture despite this evident software error. Sprite colours are now switched if the sprite travels from one screen to another in a split-screen environment. This fixes the colour of the mouse pointer during screen dragging. masked blitting of planar bitmaps has been fixed: This fixes the "Palette"-preferences program. If a split-screen (dragged screen) is used on a PIV-card, the video-window will not be disabled, but will pan together with the front screen. Note that P96 currently does not support video or memory windows on the back screen. (dr) [News message: 11. Jan. 2022, 22:06] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
