AmigaOS 4: Flawfinder finds vulnerabilities in C/C++ source code George 'walkero' Sokianos has ported Flawfinder, originally written by David A. Wheeler in Python, to AmigaOS 4 and explained: "In the last couple of years that I started working on AmigaOS applications, I always look how to make use of modern tools with my code and how to avoid doing mistakes that will cost performance and, most importantly, security. That's why my projects are covered by an online test platform like Codacy. What I found is that such platforms use tools that are available, such as CppCheck and Flawfinder. Then I thought, 'Is it possible to bring those tools to AmigaOS 4? Would it be useful?'. So... Flawfinder is a code analysis tool that searches in source files, looking for potential security flaws. This is developed by David A. Wheeler in Python, supporting v2.7 and above. So it looked like a good candidate to work with. The problem with AmigaOS 4 is that the available Python version is 2.5. The good thing is that Flawfinder does not use code that is really tough to backport. After a few changes on print() usage here and there and some other fixes, Flawfinder works fine and it is available for everyone to use it. You can find my work and my latest release 2.0.19 r1 on my personal Git website and soon on OS4Depot. The only thing you need to do to use it is to extract the lha file contents anywhere on your hard disk and execute something like: flawfinder src/ Inside the archive, you will find the documentation in HTML and PDF format, and please consult it for a lot more options." Anyone who wants to support the author has the opportunity to do so on his Ko-fi website. The author returns 50% of the donations to the community at the end of each month by supporting projects or developers. (dr) [News message: 25.

Sprite/Icon/Map editor: Raster Master V1.2 R55 for Windows 10/11 Raster Master is a sprite/icon/map editor for Windows 10/11 which generates RayLib-, PutImagedata and Map code for gcc, AmigaBASIC, Amiga C, Amiga Pascal, QuickBasic, QB64, Quick C, Turbo Pascal, freepascal, Turbo C, Turbo Basic, Power Basic, FreeBASIC, GWBASIC, BASICA, and PC-BASIC (YouTube video). 30 years ago 'RetroNick' wrote a small program in Turbo Pascal (DOS) that allowed him to create simple sprites/icons and generate code. He always wanted to port this program to Windows and provide some updates. He has already implemented most of his project under development, and since his interest in Amiga programming has also expanded, it now supports Pascal and C (Hisoft and Freepascal 68k as well as vbcc) instead of just AmigaBASIC. Some features are still missing:

Do it yourself: GotekExtensionBoard The GotekExtensionBoard, consisting of an external and an internal side, is intended for the non-destructive installation of a Gotek disk drive emulator in an Amiga 500 - the middle part of the conductor foil can be led through the ventilation slots of the Amiga housing, so that the display and switches etc. can then be connected on the outside.

AROS: New build of Workbench replacement Scalos In mid-2011, Matthias 'Mazze' Rustler began porting the workbench replacement Scalos for AROS and completed this in early 2012. Since then, Scalos has been part of the AROS distributions AROS Vision and Icaros Desktop, among others. In mid-July, Krzysztof 'Deadwood' Śmiechowicz opened a discussion on Aros-Exec with the aim of improving the workbench replacement and ridding it of bugs after unifying the code base of Scalos for AROS x86 ABIv0, AROS x86_64 ABIv11 and AROS m68k. Only for AxRuntime there should be a separate development branch. The developer has now released a new build V2022-07-21 with the following change notes: Fixed:

Kickstarter campaign: Production of 'Tank Mouse' starts soon The Polish designer Lukas Remis had successfully finished a Kickstarter campaign for the re-release of the wireless Commodore Maus 1352 ((amiga-news.de reported)). A few days ago the developer announced in a status update that the production of the Tank Mouse as well as of the chipset of the mouse will start soon. The preparation would take about 45 days, and another 25 days the production of the first test batch. After testing and quality-checking the first units, the production will be started - and that part should take only around 3 weeks. But there are some problems regarding the DB9 adapter: due to COVID and supply shortages, prices of some components went up twice or even more. Therefore, it cannot be manufactured the way it was originally planned and other solutions must be found. (dr) [News message: 23.

8-/16-bit emulator for Mac OS and Linux: Clock Signal V2022-07-23 (update) Thomas Harte's Clock Signal is an emulator for various 8- and 16-bit platforms aiming to be invisible to the user. The idea is to simply start the source medium without configuring the emulator oneself. Clock Signal is available for Mac OS and Unix-compatible systems. While there is also an Amiga emulation included, it "remains wilfully inaccurate" for now. Two weeks ago, the latest version V2022-07-08 was released. Since our last news item the following changes have been added:

Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Tools 1.1 / Firmware 1.2 Keir Fraser's "Greaseweazle" does - similar to Kryoflux - read the magnetic information on a floppy disk independently from the format used and saves as much information as possible to generate a so-called "Flux Level Image" in Supercard format (SCP), which enables reading and back-writing of copy-protected disks (amiga-news.de reported). The adapter gets connected between a floppy disk drive - e.g. a standard 3.5" PC one - and a USB port of the PC or Mac. Changes of Greaseweazle Tools 1.1:

AmigaOS 4: Audio editor Rave 1.2 For about a year, Daniel 'trixie' Jedlicka has been introducing the audio editor 'Rave' in status updates on his blog. Version 1.1 he finally released in June (amiga-news.de reported). The screenshot of version 1.2 presented below shows the most important new function: files can now be auditioned ("previewed") from the file requester before they will be opened. Rave requires AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition Update 2 as well as A-EON's Enhancer Core. (dr) [News message: 23. Jul. 2022, 06:33] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |
