`03.Mar.2015`	AmigaOS 4: File manager Directory Opus 4.18.41 Jeff 'Xenic' Porter has released an update of the file manager Directory Opus 4 which fixes some minor bugs. Additionally, the programm interprets the "H"-bit just like the operating system predetermines it - until now Directory Opus used it as hidden bit. Changes in version 4.18.41: Added missing arguments check in DopusRT to prevent a crash if DopusRT is started with no arguments Fixed access of freed memory when closing an asynchronous Read window. Fixed several potential memory leaks Added signal notification to asynchronous Read windows when quitting Dopus4 or returning with changes from ConfigOpus. Previously the asynchronous Read windows could be forcibly closed at users request and leave Read processes running with no window Fixed launching of asynchrouous Read processes and added checks for Ctrl-C to shut down those processes Fixed reopening of Dopus4 on front screen when returning from ConfigOpus changes if Dopus4 was initially started with "BEHINDWB" TOOLTYPE or "-B" CLI argument Eliminated a crash in the Dopus4 ANSIRead command Changed the "close foreign windows" requester to open on the Dopus4 screen when quitting Dopus4 from it's own screen Fixed copying of directories form archives opened in a lister Fixed some failures to unlock public screens after failed memory allocations or file access Updated "alien windows" requester text to match previously updated requester actions Added Czech catalogs and French catalog. Updated all catalogs. Program catalog definition file and translation files updated Changed "Hidden" bit in Protect requester to "Hold" bit for OS4. Eliminated hidden bit setting in ConfigOpus which activated hiding of files with the H bit set. The H bit is actually a hold bit in OS4 and indicates to AmigaDOS that the file should be added to the resident list if the P (pure) bit is also set Added popupmenu & xadmaster header files to sources so others can compile Dopus4 without hunting for missing includes Updated history files (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 03.

`01.Mar.2015` Sakura (ANF)	Preorder: New external floppy drive Under the title link, at RetroAmi an external floppy drive developed by Sakura (producer of PCMCIA-SRAM-card for the Amiga 600/1200) can be ordered. The pictures of the drive show the non-painted prototype. The final, black Gehäuse case additionally will have included some minor changes. The floppy drive is compatible to the external ports of all Amiga models but does not support "looping through". That means if you use other external drives of different producers, you can only use it as last drive. The preordered model is based on a modified PC-drive but is "fully compatible with 880kB DD Amiga floppy disks". For financial reasons there will be not a HD-drive with modified 1,44-MB-PC mechanics, but the platine has been prepared for it. You can upgrade an Amiga-HD floppy drive for using HD-diskd (1,76 MB) on your own with a jumper. As preorder, the floppy drive costs about 47 Euro (195 Złoty). Later the product will be more expensive. It will be delivered by the end of April. (snx) (Translation: dr) [News message: 01.
