`06.Mar.2007` morphzone.org (Webseite)	MorphOS: MLdonkey 2.8.3 (experimental version) Christian Rosentreter has published an update of the Filesharing program MLDonkey. The new version has been still not tested by the author and is supposed to fix a bug that happened if file names contained special characters which the iconv.library uses. The author is asking for feedback either in the IRC channel #morphos or in the corresponding thread at morphzone.org. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 06.

`06.Mar.2007` amigaworld.net (Webseite)	Chiptune-Tracker: Hively-Tracker 1.3 for AmigaOS 3/4 HivelyTracker is a tracker based on AHX-format (screenshot). In the 90ies AHX was developed to write music titles which are similar to the typical chip sound of SID (sound-chip of the C64) ähneln. Changes since version 1.3: Position editor now has indicators so its clear to which channel each column relates (suggested by syphus) If you used ring modulation effects in the right hand parameter list of an instrument, but not the left, it would try and save it as an AHX instrument instead of an HVL instrument. Fixed. (thanks to syphus) Added Zap Song/Instrument/Position options (suggested by m0d) Added play time indicator (suggested by someone, sorry forgot who) You can now copy and paste arbitary regions in the position editor. (suggested by a couple of people, and I always intended to do it anyway :) "prefs_bg" and "Settings" in skins are now "prefs_os4" and "Settings_os4" respectively so that the same skin can be used for both the OS4 and OS3.x versions Added some bounds checking to the replayer to avoid weird crashes Fixed a couple of small bugs in the replayer (thanks to pieknyman) When changing the position during playback, the current position plays through to the end before jumping to your selected position (suggested by syphus) Some status information which should have been local to each tab was global. Oops. Fixed now Added Ctrl+Tab to jump to the same column in the next channel, and Shift+Ctrl+Tab to jump to the same column in the previous channel. (suggested by syphus) Added Alt+A to mute all but the current channel (suggested by syphus) Added Alt+Q to mute all channels Right clicking on "New Tab" now makes an identical clone of the current tab Added speed multiplier gadget. This is a feature of both AHX and HVL tunes that was always implimented, but there was no way to actually set it in hivelytracker until now (oops :) Pressing the right mousebutton in the instruments list of the instruments editor will copy the current instrument to the slot where you clicked Holding control and pressing the right mousebutton on a slot in the instrument list in the instrument editor will zap that instrument Changed the default gain values when loading in AHX modules and using stereo mixing. The values before were calculated by running lots of tunes through the Autogain calculations and using the lowest values that came out. Well, it was too high, so now I actually calculated them using actual maths! (thanks again to pieknyman for finding a tune that clipped) Added some more options to the skin system to enable the cool new "Vintage" theme (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 06.

`04.Mar.2007` Rudolph Riedel (ANF)	AmigaOS 4: DiskMaster 2.7beta11 Rudolph Riedel has made availabe another beta version of his file manager DiskMaster 2.7 in OS4Depot. Changes since 2.7beta10: Despite some corrections for the 68k version, it still does not run perfectly, unfortunately The calculation for adjusting the standard window to different screen resolutions was improved The string gadget in the command window now displays either the configuration file with which DM2 was launched, or "S:DiskMaster2.prefs" Correction: When using volume names like "Sys:" instead of device names like "DH0:", an error in the rename function had caused the renamed entry to be removed from the list. Correction: Shortcut resolution did not work A couple of chapters in DiskMaster2.guide were updated Download: diskmaster2.lha (282 KB) (snx) (Translation: cad) [News message: 04.

`04.Mar.2007` Amigaworld.net (Web page)	Thor: ARexx script BBSsalvage.br 1.3 BBSsalvage.br is an ARexx script for the offline reader Thor, which attempts to recover damaged databases. The script was created after an error had occurred at the author, which could not be repaired by ValidateThor, and which led to crash when trying to open a discussion. Improvements in version 1.3: Fix a bug introduced in v1.2 (or was it v1.1 ?) where a missing "end" instruction in the main loop made the script unusable BBSsalvage.br will now warn you if Thor is running (Thor must not be running), and if BBSread was previously used and still loaded in memory BBSsalvage.br will no more verbose that a message marked as deleted is skipped (this is to save the size of the output from results which are not very informative anyway) The script will now warn if a text line length in the body of a message is longer than 32767 characters (Due to a bug in the Visual Options-Messages Links, Thor may crash the system while trying to display a message containing a too long unwrapped line) The BBS list order and the conference list order are now preserved The "read" (or "unread") status of the messages is now preserved too (snx) (Translation: cad) [News message: 04.
