AmigaOne: Revised Linux kernel
Under the title link, a revised Linux kernel of version 2.6.16.35 for the AmigaOne was released by Gerhard Pircher as announced. Furthermore, the AmigaOne kernel 2.6.8 was changed again.
Changes:
- Recompiled the 2.6.8 kernel, as there was a minor bug in the platform setup code
- The 2.6.8 kernel includes modules for Mac-On-Linux 0.9.70:
I don't know if Mac OS X will work, but I was able to load the yaboot bootloader within MOL and the system didn't lock up
- The 2.6.16.35 kernel supports USB EHCI. Thanks again to Marcus Comstedt for the patch
- Removed the transfer request limit for IDE LBA48 devices:
Please report if you experience DMA timeout errors. I couldn't reproduce them, thus I hope the workaround is not needed anymore

AmigaOS 4: patch for using TD64 file systems
Fredrik Wikstrom's td64 patch enables the use of TD64 file systems under AmigaOS 4 - e.g. the 68k versions of the NTFileSystem or the
FATFileSystem.
The NSD device drivers of AmigaOS 4 (e.g. the a1ide.device) are modified in a way that they also support the TrackDisk64 standard
(TD64). The latter was suggested in 1996 by Ralph Babel and supported by a group
of developers; later on did Ralph Schmidt distribute such a patch for the FastFileSystem.
Both implementations, TD64 and NSD, are a 64 bit enhancement to read and write from/to harddisks bigger than 4 GB in size.
While TD64 had been used among others by phase 5 controllers became the New Style Device standard (NSD) by Heinz Wrobel under
AmigaOS 3.5 official part of the operating system.
With AmigaOS 4 the usage of NSD is kept upright and in MorphOS TD64 is continued.
With this background TD64 file systems - like the support of NTFS, EXT2, XFS and FAT created by Marek Szyprowski originally for MorphOS and
also for AmigaOS/68k released - couldn't be used
until now under AmigaOS 4.
Please note, though, that this is the first version of the td64patch and that the author hasn't made ample tests. The use is therefore at
one's own risk.

Programming language: PureBasic becomes freeware, sources partly released
The Amiga version of the BASIC dialect PureBasic isn't continued anymore so that the developer has decided to release the whole package as freeware and to make parts of the source code publicly available.
Released were the source code of the complete command set, the IDE (Integrated Develepment Environment) as well as the source codes for some tools.
The compiler is for all versions of PureBasic identical - as the Windows, Mac OS X and Linux versions are still distributed commercially theses source codes aren't available.
People who make improvements in the code of PureBasic are invited to make these available to the original developer so that they can be implemented in future Amiga versions. The PureBasic developer agrees to port the newest built of the compiler for such versions to the Amiga.

Dream 17: Request for support
Dream 17 is a tribute to the game developers of Team 17 which are responsible for such titles like Worms or the Alien Breed serie. Additional to detailed information, screenshots and other specials at Dream 17 you can find all Amiga titles of the game developers for legal download.
Under the title link Dream 17 asks for support because in the next year the current server which was for free cannot be used any longer and a commercial one must be used.
The maintainers of the site ask for donations via PayPal to keep this offer alive.
Above all support is required for selling fan articles. Therefore somebody is needed who at least can create a vector graphic of the Dream 17 logo.

Picture galleries from various Amiga shows (1993-2002)
Andreas Magerl writes: When I recently tidied up my hard disk a little, I found some pictures from the Amiga shows 1993, 1994, 2000, 2001 and 2002. The pictures are online in the Amiga Future Gallery immediately.
Should someone still have pictures from Amiga shows and would like to make these available to us, then please write us a short E-Mail. (cg) (Translation: cad)

MUI Clone: AFA OS Zune 1.0 (final beta-test version)
Bernd Roesch has released an update to his AmigaOS 3 port of the MUI clone Zune (screenshot). Since Microsoft also offers a product called Zune now, the author has decided to distribute his project as "AFA OS Zune" (AOZ) from now on. AOZ can be used at the same time as MUI, no modifications are made to the MUI files.
In case no more errors emerge, the current version will be released as 1.0 (final). New in 1.0 (final beta-test version):
- Support for skins. The skin settings are included in the archive and can be loaded with the AOZ Prefs program. No bitmaps are used, so that the archive remains as small as possible.
- In order to use a program with AOZ instead of with MUI, you launch it as before and then launch the AOZ Promoter with CTRL+Shift+Z. With "Add Task," the task name of the MUI program is added to the Promoter database, whereby the corresponding application uses the AOZ libraries instead of MUI in the next launch.
Programmers who want to support AOZ should first try to open the zune.library. Should this fail, since, for instance, AOZ is not installed, then the muimaster.library should be used.
All sources and project files of AOZ are part of the archive, further information can be gathered from the accompanying Readme file.

AmigaOS 4: Vector-drawing program MindSpace 0.94
MindSpace is a drawing program with which flowcharts, UML diagrams (Unified Modeling Language), mindmaps or vector images can be created, among other things. Improvements in version 0.94:
- Loads more shapes useful for UML and ER diagrams
- User MSOs: just in case the shape you need isn't there - you can very easily create it yourself and add it to the interface. MindSpace even knocks up a quick icon for you.
- Improved svg, png and pdf output (registered users only)
- Improved text and html output (registered users only)
- More keyboard shortcuts
- Usual plethora of tidying up, bugfixes etc
The AmigaOS 3 version, announced some time ago, is not currently being worked on, because of lack of time. (cg) (Translation: cad)
