`02.May.2017` Andreas Magerl (ANF)	TCP stack: free update to Roadshow 1.13 The Roadshow TCP/IP stack for the Amiga has been updated to version 1.13 and is available immediately. An updated demonstration version is available, too, as well as the updated software development kit. A free update is available for customers who are using Roadshow version 1.12, upgrading it to version 1.13. Note: if you are still using Roadshow versions 1.8 or 1.11 then you will need to upgrade to version 1.12 first before you can upgrade it to version 1.13. The changes in Roadshow 1.13 are as follows: Polish localization files were contributed by Tomasz Potrykus, which can be installed as part of the update process. The "ping" command has been updated to support new options, which can be used limit the number of test packets sent, either by time or count. The time interval measurements taken and displayed were upgraded and are now much more accurate than they were before. The "traceroute" command shares the same time interval measurement improvements with the "ping" command. The "wget" command no longer crashes if too little stack memory is available in the shell. Also, the data throughput rate calculation now works correctly, which both affects the display of the estimated remaining transmission time and the data rate limiting feature of the "wget" command. Finally, the short form command line options (e.g. "-q" for "--quiet") never worked correctly. This has been fixed. Several related bugs were fixed within "bsdsocket.library", the "SampleNetSpeed" and "ppp_sample" programs, which could lead to memory corruption or seemingly random crashes. The "ConfigureNetInterface" did not process the DHCPUNICAST parameter correctly. This has been fixed. The specially optimized versions of "bsdsocket.library", "ppp-serial.device" and "ppp-ethernet.device" for use on Amigas with CPUs other than the MC68000 and MC68010 can no longer result in crashes if they are used on systems for which they are not suited. The "TCP:" handler leaked memory whenever it was opened. This has been fixed. How much memory "bsdsocket.library" will use for incoming network traffic can now be tweaked. This is helpful for applications which keep running for day or weeks on end. Previously, "bsdsocket.library" could end up allocating much more memory than strictly necessary, causing other active software to run out of free memory. Because the choice to spend as little memory as possible comes with a cost (slightly lower data throughput), this option is not enabled by default. The software development kit has been updated, fixing bugs in the example source code, the "wget" command, as well as replacing the inline header files for the GCC 68k compiler. The reference documentation has been updated. The "ReadMe" file of the "Roadshow" update archive contains more detailed information about the contributors who helped to make this update possible, as well as more detailed descriptions of the changes. The update archive does not contain the updated documentation or source code. Please download the demonstration version and/or the software development kit, respectively, to find the new material.

`30.Apr.2017` VisioRetron (Forum)	External HDMI-converter D520 in development Thorsten Schubert is working on a device, which converts the analogue video signal of the Amiga as well as the sound into a digital signal in order to make it possible using current monitors with a HDMI-port. The external module will be connected to the video port of the Amiga. (snx) (Translation: dr) [News message: 30. Apr. 2017, 08:18] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`27.Apr.2017` (ANF)	AmigaOS4: eNewsReader R1 Chris Handley's commercial "eNewsReader" follows RSS and Atom feeds as well as Twitter and Facebook acounts but "you will need to give eNewsReader permission to access your Timeline posts on Facebook." Currently you can download a "trial" version from the website of the author which is not limited. After a certain period of time and the amount of downloaded files, the author will decide how much the full version of eNewsReader will cost. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 27.
