AROS: nForce NIC support (Update)
Michal Schulz has finished a NIC driver for AROS to support the nForce, nForce2, nForce3 and nForce4 chipset. Thus, the Team AROS bounty 27 has been completed. The source code has been commited to SVN.

According to the author, support of even newer chipsets (up to nForce11 or nForce12) is a matter of adding proper DeviceIDs and setting few flags for the specific chipset (mostly which interrupts are provided by the hardware itself). (snx)

Filesystem-Handler: Ext2FS-Betaversion 0.13 allows write-access
Marek Szyprowski has published a public betaversion 0.13 of his Ext2-Filesystem for AmigaOS 3.x and MorphOS. Because of activated debug-ouput, this version is slower than its predecessors

This update gives support for changable media and it also allows write-access to ext2-partitions, but handle with care, it isn't well-tested. Use it on your own risk.
Please send bugreports to the author, who is on vacation until the beginning of September.

GUI-system: NewGui 1.4.7
The update of the graphical user interface NewGUI now allows the change of themes in realtime. A special menu point was built into the NewGUI context-menu (CTRL + right mouse button) for a comfortable change of themes.

At the moment one should only change themes with a similar size as the gadget-positioning has not been corrected yet. (cg) (Translation: nba)

MorphOS: VNC Server 1.0RC2 released (Update)
VNC Server 1.0RC2 has been released for MorphOS by Harry Sintonen and Jacek Piszczek. This freeware program allows remote access to the computer. The current visible screen is displayed on the connected clients (e.g. MorphVNC), and clients can control the mouse, keyboard and clipboard.

Main features include:
  • Upto 63 simultanous clients
  • MUI GUI with full keyboard control
  • Flexible access control list, with multiple passwords with different settings. You can for example disable mouse, keyboard and clipboard for users who don't know the password for full access. You can allow or deny any IP/Mask
  • Realtime Settings: Change setting and the change takes action immediately. Settings are saved automagically when VNC Server is quit
  • Extensive security features: By default will prompt local user to accept/reject incoming connections. Also, only LAN connections are allowed by default
  • Logical view of connected clients, with possibility to disconnect (Kick) or block and disconnect (Kickban) selected client or all connected clients
  • Support for Remote FrameBuffer (RFB) protocol upto version 3.8
  • Clipboard support: You can copy text between server and client
  • DisplayBeep support: The client 'bell' event it sent when DisplayBeep occurs
  • Support for ZLib compression with conforming clients (MorphVNC and TightVNC for example). Using ZLib enabled client is highly recommended
  • Support for framebuffer resize extension with conforming clients (RealVNC, TightVNC and probably other modern clients)
  • Support for screen swap: All screens are displayed properly (Palette indexed screen support is not fully finished in current version: Palette changes are not promoted to clients, and mouse pointer can appear with weird colours. Clients that don't support framebuffer resize extension will only display left-top part of the larger screens)
  • Support for local mouse pointer extension for faster client mouse pointer movement
  • No slow full screen polling, but instead implements intelligent routines to detect display changes. There is very little system load when display is idle
  • Fully asynchronous design with advanced state engine. There are no blocking operations, so connected clients will continue to run normally even if other clients attempt to connect or if settings are being changed
Update: (11:55, 15.08.05, snx)
Meanwhile, version 1.0RC3 has been released at the title link. The update does fix the bug of not being able to load disabled state of some options. (snx)

  • An unlimited number if show could be showed (it was limited to 5)
