Network configuration: EasyNet 0.177
With its user-interface, EasyNet simplifies the network configuration. AmigaKit adds the program to different network hardware like the X-Surf 100 but it can be also purchased separately. The program is updated via the live-update-function.

Changes:
  • Wireless Network Scanning (prism2 v2.5 driver required)
  • Network device querying - EasyNet reports network card's MAC address
  • Added support for two new network devices: x-Surf-100.device and plipbox.device
  • New settings configuration for the X-Surf 100 network card

X-Surf 100: New, faster driver for AmiTCP/Genesis
Today version 1.11 of the x-surf-100.device has been released which provides special "turbo"-versions for AmiTCP-/Genesis-users. Previously Genesis-users reported transfer rates which were identical to an Usb2Ethernet-connection with Deneb. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: Graphics program SketchBlock 2.3
The latest version of Andy Broad's graphics program SketchBlock provides several minor improvements:
  • Selection Masks: some optimisation of the selection process, speed up of up to 30%
  • Transform Plugin GUIs: added ProAction GUIs for the GradientFill and RadialFill plugins
  • Macro Recording: completely reworked macro recording. Can now output Rexx or Python code. Can output Wedge events, can output timestamps as comments in the code, also notes external scripts called in the comments.
  • Internal text creation: text creation no longer requires an external helper command,the freetype code has been moved in to the main executable. Resulting in substantial speedups. The maketext.rexx script has been adapted (and much simplified) to take advantage of this.
  • Improved anti-aliasing of paths fills: by scanning in both the x and y axes and combining the results smooth anti-aliasing of path fills is now performed, without the need for oversampling. This contributes to further improvements in the rendering of text.
  • Splash screen on startup: A splash screen with loading progress bar is displayed at program startup
  • Some bug fixes: see the changelog for details

Book: "Commodore - The Amiga Years" discontinued?
The publication of Brian Bagnall's Commodore: The Amiga Years has been suspended since about a year for several weeks or months. The publication of the first part of the Commodore biography, Commodore - A Company On The Edge was also delayed but there is some indication that problems exist:

The publisher Variant Press has removed the product page from its website and online trader like Amazon or Waterstones has informed customers that the preorders unfortunately must be rejected due to a lack of availability. Currently there is no official statement of the author or his publishing house. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AROS: Game-Engine Antiryad Gx
Antiryad Gx is an engine for 2D-/3D-games with an integrated editor. After a registration with the free version also commercial games can be developed. The AROS-port supports 68k-, x86- and PPC-processors and is available on the website of the developer.

Hint of the editorial staff: Obviously the port for AmigasOS which is announced on the website up to now seems still not available. (cg) (Translation: dr)
