`04.May.2002` Achim Stegemann (ANF)	Astronomy: news about Digital Almanac Achim Stegemann wrote: Because of the results of the poll held by me regarding Digital Almanac and OS4 I have taken according measures regarding the code of Digital Almanac. The following has been removed or tightened: Only modern upgraded Amigas will be supported (FPU, graphics board >16 Bit, at least 32 MB RAM, OS 3.9). Program functions that were not of interest for the customers have been removed (external telescope control, VSOP87 planets theory). MPEG animation has been removed as this is too much for the Amiga regarding its capacity. This is new: Implementation of the Hipparcos stars catalogue as cross index. Improved data about stars parallaxes of almost 100,000 stars. Improved star ephemerides, Hertzsprung-Russel diagram. Improved GUI. Many single functions have been integrated in a page orientated window and sorted by topics (see MUI prefs, STRICQ etc). Automation of some settings that had to be done by hand before. Animation size independant of screen size. ... and some more things. About the implementation of an ARexx interface is still not decided. But in case of an implementation shall the communication not only be done from ARexx in direction of the program but an ARexx script shall also be able to receive data from the program (via so called STEM variables). But ARexx will only be implemented if there's an big enough interest by the users existing. Soon I'll upload the first beta snapshot of the new DA3 version to the net. Further information as well as screenshots of the most important visual changes can be taken from the DA3 site (title link). (ps) (Translation: wk) [News message: 04.

`02.May.2002` Peter Huyoff (E-Mail)	AROS News The development of AROS proceeds steadily. Again we have a few new things to report: Thanks to Fabio Alemagna, the shell window which gets opened when you use "Execute Command" now stays open until you close it so you can actually use it. Staf Verhaegen worked some more on RexxSysLib.library. Georg Steger implemented PGA_NotifyBehaviour and PGA_RenderBehaviour in gadget.class. The behaviour of the propg.class can now be configured with this to behave like on the Amiga or in a "nice" way. The default (if you don't specify anything) is "nice". The GUI of Font prefs was improved. Many bugs in diskfont.library were fixed. There will soon be a program to convert TrueType fonts into Amiga/AROS bitmap fonts to use them with diskfont.library without having to convert them (ie. you can open these fonts in all sizes without having .font files for them on disk). A bug in ReadArgs() (the flags /K/A didn't work correctly) was fixed, too. Matt Parsons updated the AROS User Guide. Some debug statements in the screen blanker were removed. Our LoadWB has now an About menu item which prominently shows the names of the AROS developers. Credit where credit is due :-) Henning Kiel, Fabio Alemagna and Georg Steger ... helped ... Matt with LoadWB ;-) (Note: That's an internal joke and only for the records... ahem). Did you notice? No Zune in the last post. Of course, Sebastian Bauer wasn't idling around. He just didn't commit :-) Sebastian Heutling added a program to install GRUB with RDB support. (ps) (Translation: dm) [News message: 02.

`01.May.2002` Olaf Köbnik (E-Mail)	Amiga Arena: Interview with Martin "Mason" Merz Enthusiasts of the "Glowicons" and with that nearly every Amiga user, might use a toolbar with Martin "Mason" Merz's GlowIcon style for his programs. Martin Merz has not only given a big contribution for an optical "face lifting" for many programs but that the overall impression also seems to be unified. As martin Merz said within the Amiga Arena interview, enthusiasts of the "Mason" icons might look forward to some more highlights. The interview is available in German.
