Digital Almanac III v5.2 and AmiChess v2.0 released
Achim Stegemann has released new versions of his reference software titles: The shareware based astronomy application "Digital Almanac III" has managed the jump to version 5.2, the freeware, strong chess simulation AmiChess has been raised to version 2.0.

An update of Digital Almanac III is possible from version 5.0. AmiChess 2.0 doesn't have to be installed, simply unpacking the archive suffices. (nba) (Translation: cb)

AmigAIM 0.9445 Beta released
Yesterday the new version 0.9445 of the Instant Messenger "AmigAIM" has been released by developer Richard H. Poser II. The update contains fixes of some shortcomings in the link handler routines which led to problems when the link wasn't initiated with the usual "http://". Therefore the HTML parser was improved. Besides the bookmarks on the mailing list were changed. (nba) (Translation: cb)

Virus Help Denmark: VirusZ v0.9e
Georg Hörmann has released version 0.9e of the anti virus software VirusZ that can be downloaded from the website of the Virus Help Team Denmark.

Information about the new update:

Name: VirusZ v0.9e
Archive name: VirusZ.lha
Archiv size: 94,117 bytes
Release date: June, 7th 2003
Programmer: Georg Hoermann

TODOs until the final release 1.00:
  • Implement file and sector scanning inside ALL types of disk- and filearchives that xadmaster.library supports.
  • Add useful commands to ARexx port.
Changes since version 0.9d:
  • Added new snapshots sent by Klaus-Peter Simon, Chris Elliott, DMX, Dario, Mikolaj Calusinski and Todd A. Oberly. Thanks guys!
  • Fixed CacheClearU() calls in the new self-test added in 0.9d to CacheClearE() for better performance on JIT 68k emulated systems. Thanks to Harry Sintonen for the report.
  • Added new switch to 'Misc Prefs' to dis/enable the usage of the disassembler.library for bootblock lab and memory monitor. This library always opens mmu.library too which seems to be annoying for some users. Idea by Mikolaj Calusinski, thanks.
  • Fixed problem with OxyPatcher: It modified code inside VirusZ and thus caused alerts by its self-test. Thanks to DMX for the report.
  • Did some compatibility fixes for Pegasos systems. VirusZ will work perfectly with a faked ROM now. Thanks again to Harry Sintonen for the report and for beta-testing.
  • Fixed severe bug in the filecheck: hardlinks haven't been handled correctly and may have lead to crashes. Now any hardlinks will be fully tested (respectively the files/dirs they point at). Due to the inconsistent implementation of hardlinks to the filesystem, there nevertheless may appear some side-effects when you chose to delete/disinfect such files. Hardlinks then might be replaced by invalidated copies of the files they originally pointed at. This method at least avoids any virus execution and is the best I can offer. Thanks to Mikolaj Calusinski for the initial bug report, for beta-testing and further suggestions on this topic.
  • Added great installer script written by Dave 'Targhan' Crawford. Thanks a lot for this contribution.

Development of AmiATLAS being continued
The development of AmiATLAS will be continued despite the bad market situation announced the main developers Gerd Frank and Manfred Rohde in a circular letter.

Just in time for the holidays season will a new top up-to-date version of the Germany map "germany_special" be released, as always with an updated motorway net and of course among other things with some places and some more things. Would it be a PC route planner it'd very probably contain the year 2004 in the title!

Besides that there's a new version of the Scandinavia map in the first bigger planning stage that shall contain Danmark, Sweden, Norway and new Finland, too!

Further enhancements of these and all the other maps will follow respectively are already being worked on.

As the website itself also needs a redesign this is being worked on, too, especially concerning the description of all existing updates. The new site is supposed to go online in the next two to three weeks with new URL. A special announcement will follow.

Not unmentioned should be the (unfortunately very complex) switch of the compiler to the GCC C compiler for PPC for AmiATLAS and the adaption mainly to AmigaOS4 (among other things ReAction) as well as to MorphOS later on.

At last we have to point out that because of new technical problems the updates can't be sent automatically and a new registration is needed, too. Please send a short email with full mail address as well as the serial number and optionally the buying date and the retailer's name to AmiATLAS@gmx.net, and as soon as they are available the wanted archives will be sent.

ImageConvert 2.1 with ImageMagick support
Martin Steigerwald has released the version 2.1 of ImageConvert that comes with support for ImageMagick.

The GPL'd script converts graphics into a chosen resolution and colour depth and is compatible with ArtEffect 2-4, PPaint 6.4-7.x, Photogenics 2 and ImageMagick 5.5.5. Due to the program control via the Command Line Interface is the script best suited for the use with Directory Opus Magellan or a similar file manager.

Download: ImageConvert v2.1 (35 kb) (nba) (Translation: wk)
