`06.Sep.2024`	Amiga-MOD tracker in Javascript: Bassoontracker 0.5.0 Bassoontracker is a classic 4-channel MOD tracker written in Javascript and therefore runs under the title link directly in the web browser - including the possibility to load, edit and save existing MOD files (YouTube video of version 0.5.0). The current version now supports playlists and favourites. You can create links for your favourite songs. And there are now also tooltips to make your work easier. Minor improvements to the user interface and the program round off the changes. (dr) [News message: 06. Sep. 2024, 22:04] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

It enables the disassembly and examination of binary files (YouTube video of version 0.8). Thanks to the major update to version 0.8, Aira Force now also functions as a 68000 source level debugger. The 68000 command emulation has also been improved and very simple Amiga hardware emulation (chip, fast and slow RAM and ROM) has been introduced. Complete changelog: Add: Add Pointer dialogue Add: Crash log file AiraForceLog.txt written on internal error Add: Syntax highlighting works with internally generated disassembly Add: Source-level debugging of Amiga load modules Add: Source-level debugging of raw binaries Add: Source Code windows, with basic navigation features and Ctrl+G popup Add: Debug Symbols window Add: Debugger can be used independently of Analyser Add: RAM reset behaviours: Leave, clear, randomise Add: 68000 execption generation and processing Add: 68000 interrupt support (not hooked up to Amiga yet sorry) Add: Load Amiga ROM Add: Amiga ROM overlay (OVL) Add: Fast RAM, Slow RAM and ROM address ranges Add: Very basic Amiga playfield hardware (DIWSTRT/STOP, BPLCON0, BPLxPT, COLORxx) Add: End-of-frame Amiga video image generation Add: Emulator video window displaying end-of-frame generated video image Add: Latest vasm and vlink executables for all platforms Add: "Select config TEXT area" to disassembly window context menu Add: Amiga window link to hardware register docs Improve: Labels can be added at any address Improve: Disassembly export options (lowercase, formatting, export from RAM) Improve: Status window displays binary diff count Improve: Expose ira -compat=b and -compat=i options Improve: Serialise find options Improve: Analyser code region detection Improve: 68000 instruction emulation (passes all 680x0 SingleStepTests) Improve: 68000 emulator fetches directly from memory Improve: Memory window shows all regions Improve: Internal 68000/010 instruction disassembly Improve: CPU Window UI improvements Improve: Find searches source code Improve: Logging of access to unimplemented hardware registers Improve: Inform user when HUNK_OVERLAY encountered (not supported) Fix: Pointers can be defined in data and immediate operands Fix: Slowdown when there are many potential data actions Fix: Disassembly Window scrolling crash Fix: Offset jump tables when relocating ira config Fix: Workaround label name generator crash caused by duplicate ira labels Fix: Instruction Window branch destination calculation bug Fix: Default window docking for windows with dynamic names Fix: Amiga modules are debugged in user mode by default (dr) [News message: 06.

`05.Sep.2024`	Program for DeepL use: AmiTranslate 0.4 Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow's program AmiTranslate (video) is an interface for the translation service DeepL with additional PDF and UTF-8 text storage and is available for AmigaOS, AmigaOS 4, AROS (x86, x64, ARM) and MorphOS. The new version 0.4 contains a number of small but useful adjustments: if you previously pasted or copied texts using the right mouse button or a key combination, you can now also do this using buttons at the bottom of the window. Equally practical: the "Clear" button can be used to delete all texts in the windows. Finally, you can use the "Switch" button to swap the input and output language. In addition to an SSL-secured Internet connection (OpenSSL3 on MorphOS or AmiSSL on the other systems), the programme also requires the MUI class texteditor.mcc. (dr) [News message: 05.

`04.Sep.2024`	Encryption protocol: AmiSSL 5.17 (AmigaOS 3/4) Version 5.17 of the open source encryption protocol AmiSSL has been released, which is now based on the latest version 3.3.2 (3.9.2024) of OpenSSL. The changes in detail: Updated OpenSSL backend to full compatibility with the latest OpenSSL 3.3.2 (3.9.2024) version which includes these moderate and low severity bug fixes and mitigations: ixed possible denial of service in X.509 name checks. Fixed possible buffer overread in SSL_select_next_proto(). Updated root certificates to latest Mozilla-based bundle provided by https://curl.se/docs/caextract.html dated 2.7.2024. Refactored the OpenSSL locking and mutex routines to remove the unnecessary duplication of code.

`04.Sep.2024` Bill Borsari (ANF)	Event: AmiWest 2024 This year's AmiWest in Sacramento will take place from October 25-27. As Bill 'tekmage' Borsari reports in the official event blog, there are almost 40 tables this year, and David Haynie, Trevor Dickinson, Bill Panagouleas and Doug Compton are named as well-known participants. The main theme this year will be games. As a change compared to previous years, however, the developer conference “AmiWest DevCon” will no longer be held on site, but online due to the low number of participants, which is why the duration of the event has been shortened to three days. Speaking time is still available for any additional presentations, and tickets for the banquet can also still be purchased. (snx) [News message: 04. Sep. 2024, 10:13] [Comments: 1 - 04.

`04.Sep.2024` DaFreak (forum entry)	Emulator: QEMU 9.1.0 (update) QEMU is an open-source computer emulator and virtualizer. The emulation of complete computers also makes it possible to run operating systems such as AmigaOS 4 or MorphOS under QEMU that are tailored to a quite specific hardware platform. This support is provided by QEMU developer Zoltan Balaton, who gives information about this on a dedicated website. Changes in version 9.1 of QEMU seem to not include any refering to the emulation of Amiga systems, though. Update: (21:20, 03.09.24, dr) While we reported on the QEMU 9.1.0-rc4 version this morning, the final version 9.1 is now available. As always, a compiled version for Windows 64-bit is provided by Stefan Weil. (snx) [News message: 04. Sep. 2024, 10:12] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`04.Sep.2024`	Logic game: Untangle v1.0 Grzegorz Kraszewski is in the process of writing the logic game Untangle for the Amiga. The player has a number of dots in front of him, which are connected by lines and cross each other. The aim of the game is to untangle the lines by moving the dots so that no line intersects another (amiga-news.de reported). He has now released version 1.0 with the following changes: New set of 150 levels. Game state is saved after each solved level and at exit. Windows positions and dimensions are remembered. Nice time display in the level selector. Short user manual in AmigaGuide format. A few bugs and one crash fixed. The game runs in a Workbench window, a standard Amiga 1200 is sufficient.
