AmigaOS 4: glUAE 20120616
glUAE is a collection of scripts which "makes the emulation experience perfectly natural by transparently integrating the emulator into the system, thanks to the AmigaOS flexibility and the UAE configurability."


Changes:
  • Added direct WHDLoad support
  • Allowed to indicate an alternative UAE executable on a per-application basis
  • Allowed to choose at startup:
    • The boot file, if no startup-sequence is found
    • A hardfile, if more than 1 is found
    • A UAE configuration, if none is found
    • The UAE executable, if the default/application-specific one is not found
  • Reworked the images mounting: when a specific image is specified for DF0:, the next 1, 2 or 3 images in the same directory are mounted to DF1:-DF3: in alphabetical order. (before DF1:-DF3: would get the first other 3 images in absolute)
  • Made the determination of the application form depend first of all on the input file type
  • Given the user more feedback in case of errors
  • Renamed the "first-run" splash screen as "first-launch"
  • Replaced the installer with a brand-new, AmigaOS-standard installer/reinstaller/uninstaller
  • Made several internal improvements
  • Extended/reworked the documentation

Sam 460ex: Setup-Utility for better performance
Max 'm3x' Tretene by ACube Systems has published Sam460ex_setup which is a little programm for improving the performance of these PowerPC-boards. It is started from WBStartup or the user-startup sequence. In the future with an AmigaOS-4.1-kernel would be not necessary any longer.

With the programm, "Store Gathering" is enabled in CCR0-register. Thereby the write performance of data for PCI-Express graphic boards is doubled (up to 320 MB/s for Radeon X1950 and up to 300 MB/s for a Radeon HD 4650). PCI-boards will get a performance increase by 50%.

AmigaOS 4: English dictionary WordNet 3.4
WordNet is a database of the English language. The port for AmigaOS 4 was written by Daniel Jedlicka (Screenshot). For audio output the flite.device is required.

Changes:
  • New: WordNet can now operate in two different user modes. The default "Learner" mode only displays sense overviews, providing an easier and faster access to word meanings. When in this mode, WordNet looks and works like a traditional electronic dictionary. The more advanced "Linguist" mode shows all possible linguistic information about the searched words
  • New: The Preferences window now replaces the original Settings menu
  • New: Pop-up gadget and menu in the window bar (OS4.1 Update 3 required)
  • New: WordNet can now be pushed to any currently opened public screen using the jump-to-screen feature (OS4.1 Update 3 required), accessible from the pop-up menu
  • Update: The program no longer relies on an external viewer (such as MultiView) to display its help file. Online help is now provided using AmigaGuide Library
  • Update: Optimized GUI initialization: the program now starts up a bit faster
  • Update: Major code overhaul with numerous little fixes and optimizations

AmigaOS 4: Several MIDI-libraries and tools
Lyle Hazelwood has published an update of the camd.library, which for the first time has been completely adapted to AmigaOS 4 and therefore is 60% smaller than the previous versions which were ported from AROS. Additionally some minor bugs were fixed.

In order to complete the new version of the library, Hazelwood additionally has published new versions of the CAMD Tools and of the USB-MIDI driver. Finally he has published the MIDI-Player as well as SoftSyn which is a software synthesizer which can play MIDI-tracks without MIDI-hardware. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOne X1000: Delivery of second batch from July till December (Update)
As AmigaKit announces at the title link as well as in an e-mail sent yesterday to all potential buyers registered with them, production of the second batch of A-EON Technology's AmigaOne X1000 will be finished this month. Therefore, these First Contact computers will be assembled and shipped starting in July on a first-come, first-served basis in order of registration and deposit of 425 Pound Sterling.

The second batch will include new firmware and driver updates, which will be made available to existing customers as well. Details on this will be announced later. Presumably unintended, the way of sending the e-mail also disclosed that in addition to purchasers of the first batch, there seem to be at least 150 users currently interested in also buying an AmigaOne X1000.

Update: (21:54, 12.06.12,snx)
Number of potential buyers adjusted, based on the only currently verified information. (snx)
