AmigaOS 4: DiskMaster 2.7beta11
Rudolph Riedel has made availabe another beta version of his file manager DiskMaster 2.7 in OS4Depot.
Changes since 2.7beta10:
- Despite some corrections for the 68k version, it still does not run perfectly, unfortunately
- The calculation for adjusting the standard window to different screen resolutions was improved
- The string gadget in the command window now displays either the configuration file with which DM2 was launched, or "S:DiskMaster2.prefs"
- Correction: When using volume names like "Sys:" instead of device names like "DH0:", an error in the rename function had caused the renamed entry to be removed from the list.
- Correction: Shortcut resolution did not work
- A couple of chapters in DiskMaster2.guide were updated

Thor: ARexx script BBSsalvage.br 1.3
BBSsalvage.br is an ARexx script for the offline reader Thor, which attempts to recover damaged databases.
The script was created after an error had occurred at the author, which could not be repaired by ValidateThor, and which led to crash when trying to open a discussion.
Improvements in version 1.3:
- Fix a bug introduced in v1.2 (or was it v1.1 ?)
where a missing "end" instruction in the main
loop made the script unusable
- BBSsalvage.br will now warn you if Thor is
running (Thor must not be running), and if
BBSread was previously used and still loaded
in memory
- BBSsalvage.br will no more verbose that a message
marked as deleted is skipped (this is to save
the size of the output from results which are not
very informative anyway)
- The script will now warn if a text line length
in the body of a message is longer than 32767
characters (Due to a bug in the Visual Options-Messages Links, Thor may crash the system while trying to display a message containing a too long
unwrapped line)
- The BBS list order and the conference list
order are now preserved
- The "read" (or "unread") status of the messages
is now preserved too

AROS: Snapshots stopped
From today on the AROS developers have stopped the release of "snapshots", stable versions of the os for people who are interested in testing them.
The main reason for this decision is, that the developers are mainly working on the further extension of AROS as well as the bugfixes and therefore not enough time is left for dealing with the snapshot build. As a consequence the snapshots are far behind the current development status.
Users who are interested in the operating system's development status are encouraged to use the daily automated generated nightly builds. (snx) (Translation: tz)

Networking: Amiga Explorer 2007
Press release: The Amiga Forever team at Cloanto is pleased to announce the release of Amiga Explorer 2007. The new version of the popular Amiga-PC networking software features dedicated support for Windows Vista and for 64-bit systems, for which a separate package is now available for download.
Amiga Explorer makes it possible to access the resources (files, disk images, ROMs) of an Amiga computer from the Windows desktop. It is even possible to download ADF disk images on the PC, and drag-and-drop them to an Amiga floppy drive. Amiga Explorer works over a null-modem serial cable, via a Bluetooth dongle attached to the Amiga serial port, or via Ethernet or any other TCP/IP link. The Amiga side can even be installed over the serial cable and run from RAM or floppy. The only requirement is that the Amiga be bootable into a standard Workbench environment (1.2 or higher, also compatible with AmigaOS 4.0 and MorphOS). Professional users who already have a network in place can use Amiga Explorer in parallel with other tools.
The new version of Amiga Explorer 2007, which carries the "Works with Windows Vista" logo, is part of a constant effort of Cloanto to support the latest platforms. Amiga Forever 2006 was designed with Windows Vista support in mind from the beginning, but Amiga Explorer required some extra work, such as development of the 64-bit namespace extension. The MenuBox launcher, which was also originally developed for use in Amiga Forever, was among the first 100 applications worldwide to pass the "Certified for Windows Vista" test, as published by Microsoft last week.
Amiga Explorer 2007 costs $19.95 and is also included in the Plus and Premium editions of Amiga Forever. Upgrades are free to all existing customers, including Amiga Forever users. The software is free to test from the Amiga Explorer Home Page. (cg) (Translation: cg)
