`04.Oct.2006` PPCNUX (website)	PPCNUX: Detailed Efika report The online magazine PPCNUX has visited bplan at the special fair 'EBV TechTrends 2006' and presents a detailed and pictured English report.. The report showsboth sides of the Efika board and mentions a maximim power consumtion of 1,08 watt for the MPC5200B-SoC, a theoretical maximum 1,5 watts for each memory chip ans peak values of below 5 watts for the hard disk. The IDE traffic speed is rated at 8 MB/s (stable) and the OpenFirmware is iproved with programable power on times and usb media boot boot support. Further it is said that DVD replay in full resolution is possible at 92% processor load. Until a mass production starts, which will lead to price as low as 99 US $, the Efika is estimated to be sold at 249 Euro. Orders in the 4 digits magnitude range are confirmed already. 400 pcs are ordered by Freescale alone, the half of those will go to developers for free. MorphOS is said to be able to run on any 32 Bit PowerPC system - and since the main developer of MorphOS, Ralph Schmidt, belongs to bplan the availability of MorphOS for the Efika rather a political decision. regarding the Pegasos boards further production runs are no problem, all components are available as RoHS compliant parts. Other cpu combinations are possible, but due to economic reasons not followed yet. Asked regarding the release of a new SmartFirmware version bplan minded the big number of required tests and the risk that users may risk to render their boards unusable.

`03.Oct.2006` Andreas Magerl (ANF)	Routeplanner: AmiATLAS status report Press release: At the moment a complete rework/update of the different travel guides is in progress. Further there is an extension of the information about parks with better maps for a more precise route calculation. Of course the emphasis lies on the German map because of the much higher demand. The network of streets is uptodate including recently opened highway sections. If someone wishes his residence to be included (even the smallest places!) in the map just write a mail with the name of the location, Geo-coordinates and information on the street connections (description and the exact distance to other locations). As always we are searching for helpers for data entering! Lists of coordinates are always welcome... Alternatively also helpers for the entering of the data into the maps themself. There are also possibilities for the view and print of data in various formats like HTML or PDF instead of AmigaGuide. http://www.amiatlas.de http://www.apc-tcp.de (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 03.

`03.Oct.2006`	IRC-client: WookieChat 2.4 beta 5 (update) James Carroll has published another beta version of his MUI based IRC client WookieChat for AmigaOS 3/4. Changes since the last version: Automatic reconnection when disconnected from a server. Configurable delay inbetween reconnection attempts, and maximum number of retrys Added an ignore function and a nice GUI for it. This ignore function supports wildcards and can optionally ignore Text/CTCP/DCC You can now choose to automatically connect to servers upon startup, and the server selection window can be hidden since it isnt required Channel names displayed in the listview can be joined by double clicking on them Wookie no longer removes leading spaces from outgoing text. This is quite useful when pasting programming source code in dev channels and you want to keep the indentation for readability When transferring tiny files within 1 second, the entry in the dcc windows are no longer stuck on "transferring" and are now able to be removed from the list Outgoing DCC RESUME seems to be working better Previously, you couldnt copy text to the clipboard when text was being added to the channel display. I made it pause while selecting text, but internal functions were preventing text from being copied to the clipboard when you let go of the mouse button. I have now corrected this. So its now possible to copy text to the clipboard in a busy channel. Update: (03.10.2006, 14:15, cg) Meanwhile beta 5 can be downloaded. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 03.
