In addition to the ignition spreadsheet and the LüttjeBookholler financial management software, Achim Pankalla is also working on a third project: similar to a DTP programme, Compression allows text and graphics to be set and the document, for example a manual, then output in PDF format (amiga-news.de reported).

  • fixed a layout-problem in block-layout
  • faster and optimised pdf generation
  • now recognize changing the headline-props and warning at leaving the project
  • optimised spelling-correction, now it is possible to add a word to database and reduce the the number of requests
  • fixed and updated manual
  • fixed a problem with different screen resulotion beside FullHD

Creating Amiga Reaction GUIs: ReBuild 0.8.0 (beta version)
In mid-November, we introduced Darren 'dmcoles' Cole's "ReBuild" in detail, with which it should be possible to create graphical user interfaces for ReAction, the evolution of ClassAct. Changes of version 0.8.0:
  • change ActivateGadget to ActivateLayoutGadet as the old call was causing lockups on tab key
  • add hint info on code gen form, list manager form, menu editing form, arexx editor form and the main window
  • force number of ticks on fuelgauge to 2 if set to 1 as 1 causes a crash
  • fix spelling error of Backdrop on window properties form
  • fix enabling/disabling of certain buttons/menus on the main form
  • add tutorial files created by Michael Bergmann
The author asks you to test ReBuild extensively and report any bugs to him.

AmigaOS 4: Editor Lite XL 2.1.2r1
George 'walkero' Sokianos has just released version 2.1.2r1 of the editor Lite XL for AmigaOS 4 (amiga-news.de reported). He wrote:

"Today, Lite XL 2.1.2 was released for every system by the official development team, as they usually do after Christmas. So, it is the perfect time to release a new version for AmigaOS 4 as well.

During December, I was working to synchronise the code from the official repository with my personal one, making it compile and work on my system. I was also experimenting with a way to convert ISO text to Unicode, as a way to load correctly files that include characters with umlauts or from other languages, like Greek.

I was based on another plugin and the codesets library to do this conversion, which seems to work quite well. To enable it, the user needs to enable the codesets plugin, like any other plugin. After that, and when lite-xl is running, two new menu options are available to open and save a file with a specific encoding. By default, this new plugin reads the system encoding and uses that to open the files. Based on my tests, this is enough, but as it is an experimental plugin, I am curious to see how it works for others.

Unfortunately, this doesn't solve the typing in other encodings issue. I tracked it down to a specific SDL2 function that seems not to work when the keymap is changed. So, some specific event is not triggered, which is necessary for the print of the characters. It might be a limitation of the SDL2 itself. I will keep on looking into that.

The codesets plugin is only available for AmigaOS 4 for now. I am working on the MorphOS version. That's why I didn't release a new version of Lite XL for the MorphOS, which is in development.

The new release of Lite XL 2.1.2 got numerous performance improvements and fixes from the official team, which can be read on GitHub.

The AmigaOS4 version can be downloaded from my Git repository and soon from OS4Depot."

You can support the developer on ko-fi. (dr)

AmigaOS 4: Web browser NetSurf 3.11
After around three and a half years various test builds an update of the NetSurf browser to version 3.11 was published today, together with a version for AmigaOS 4, provided by Chris Young under the title link. NetSurf 3.11 features improved page layout with CSS flex support. It also features many other optimisations and enhancements. Changes of the Amiga port:
  • Added page theme option.
  • Improved bitmap handling.
  • Improved and optimised Unicode handling.
  • Stability improvements.
After initial tests on our part, the support for encrypted pages that had been lost in test builds is working again. Unfortunately, access to downloads from GitHub pages ("Assets") still does not work.

Officially, no conversion for AmigaOS 3 has (yet) been published, but the last test build from 28 December 2023, NetSurf-gcc-6637.lha (4,3 MB), should basically correspond to version 3.11. (dr)
