Remarks on asyncio.library V40
First of all many thanks for the positive response to the new library!
I haven't expected one misunderstanding, though, which I'd like to put right.

The 68k functions are NOT faster under WarpOS! You only get the speed increase if you call the new PPC functions from a PPC!!

The reason is the context switch! If you would access the PPC from the 68k side, you'd get a switch every time that would slow down the system! In this case the library would be even slower. Existing programs that run under WOS would have to be adapted for the new PPC functions!

I hope I haven't killed the entire euphoria, but the many feedbacks regarding this make this correction necessary. If somebody has any interest, I would be glad about a V40 version for PowerPC. Sadly, I can't realize that (yet).

WarpJPEG.datatype V44.11
Oliver Roberts published version V44.11 of his WarpJPEG datatype on May 7th. This datatype displays JFIF and JPEG images. The following changes have been made since version 44.10:
  • The descriptor is now less over-meticulous so that JFIF files that start with any standard marker type are recognized as well. Less common JPEG files should now be recognized as well.
  • Smaller optimizations and changes in the code.

System requirements: AmigaOS V3.0+, WarpUp Release V4(powerpc.library V15)+, PPC + 68040/060, picture.datatype V43+.

ATC v1.1 prerelease 8
On May, 9th 2000 the prerelease 8 of version 1.1 of the FTP-client AmiTradCenter is published. The programm is able to parse FTP-URLs and offers ADT (Aminet Directory Tool) -support. Changes to version 7 of the prerelease are:
  • change: improved check of "Ram:/ram disk:"
  • change: the FTP-Type command is not sended until next change of type
  • change: the way the ftp.lib checks the result of the ABOR command and the EOT has changed, so the programm should be more compatible
  • bugfix: the serverlist was displayed as hosted if the first entry in the .profile-file was a list and this was marked as active server
  • bugfix: if the mode of a running but not connected serverentry was changed and then a connection to this server was established the GUI did not show the new mode
  • change: the ADT-buttons (dl readmes, keep dirtree...) are moved to the server-group of the main-preferences program
  • bugfix: ATC was not able to set the active server if you are not using the patched listtree.mcc class
  • change: if a server is added to a closed group now the group is opened before the entry is added

asyncio.library v40 with WarpOS
Many developers know it - the "asyncio.library", which can significantly speed up media access by asynchronous transfer. It is now available with WarpOS support, while being 100% compatible with v39, and still being usable with a pure 68k. The disk access with WarpOS functions is about twice as fast as with 68k functions.

The archive is freeware. Developers wanting to use the new library can use the archive for free. An Aminet upload will follow (util/libs).
Download: asyncioppc.lha - 23 kB.

SDK for PageStream
Deron Kazmaier is currently assembling a developer package for third parties, which will enable the development of expansions (like filters, printer drivers, bitmap effects, speech and scanner modules etc.) for the DTP software "PageStream" by SoftLogik.

There will probably a fifth mailinglist being opened for this, targeted on questions and developer support. Additionally, SoftLogik is looking for help improving the documentation and the examples of the SDK as well as clarifying what is needed in such a developer package.
