Database: SN-MünzArchiv V1.01
Steffen Nitz has released version 1.01 of his coin management software
"SN-MünzArchiv" on Aminet. This program is suitable for all popular coins (e.g.
Euro, DM, GDR, investment ounces etc.). He writes about this:
On the Ami-Force page of CJ-Stroker a
survey has now gone online to
find out which collectors databases you'd like to have.
Please participate lively - even those not interested at all, so I can get a
relatively correct impression.
Planned features for version 1.1:
- A sales window, to get an overview of which coins have been sold (with
statistics).
- Introduction of a year number statistic.
The following changes have been incorporated into the current version:
Version 1.0
- Instructions are now available.
- A parts list window for each quality type has been added.
- It is now possible to search for entries.
- A new statistics type (enumeration) has been added.
- In list processing the lists can now be sorted and entries deleted.
- On startup via CLI a data record can be passed which is then loaded
automatically. Thus it is possible to start the program by
double-clicking a data record. It is also possible to enter a data record
in the settings which is to be loaded upon startup of SN-MünzArchiv.
- Entries can be exported and appended.
- Lists can be printed.
- Upon saving of a database, a backup (.bak) is now created.
Version 1.01
- It is again possible to enter records into the lists without having to
press the sort button.
It may not have escaped your attention that some features had already been in V0.8. I had made the mistake of doing 2-3 uploads with this version number which is why I list all changes from after the first upload.

The full version of "Samba Partie Pro. AGA/ECS" and a tip for the action role
playing game "Blade" have been published on Amiga Arena.
Full version: "Samba Partie Pro. AGA/ECS"

soccer manager "Samba Partie" by "Sayonara Software" is available for download.
Special thanks go to Stefan I. for supplying the AGA version, and Sylvester B.
for the ECS version.
Tip: "Blade"
The HD version of action RPG game "Blade" by Mark Sheeky has been successfully
tested with the tool "NoAGA" on an Amiga 4000/60 with AmigaOS3.9.
After the game's German version has been offered exclusively for download on
"Amiga Arena", time and again users had problems playing "Blade" from HD.

history
What kind of library is the render.library?
- render.library is an Amiga shared library that serves an image processing kernel.
- render.library is an interface between planar, truecolor and chunky
graphics, plus it supports all Amiga specific pixel and color schemes.
- render.library provides palette management, histograms, alpha channel processing, color reduction, rendering, dithering, scaling, texture mapping, and lots of conversion functions.
- render.library is built on a distinct architecture of functional classes,
which allows e.g. texture mapping and rendering in a single pass, without the need to allocate intermediate buffers.
- render.library is fast.
- render.library comes with autodocs and tutorials, and is freeware for freeware and shareware applications.

Amithlon: release date of v2.0 postponed
The release date of the already by some Amiga dealers announced Amithlon v2.0
will probably be postponed. Bernd Meyer wrote on the Amithlon ml that the
unfortunate connection with Haage & Partner in the past had made him once
more trouble on the way to the release of Amithlon. That's why Bernd doesn't
believe that the originally planned released date can be kept up. But he hopes
that the delay won't take too long.
The original posting by Bernd Meyer (in English) can be found
here.

akJFIF/PNG/TIFF 45.1 now freeware and Amithlon-optimized
Starting with V45.1 (29.6.02), the datatypes akJFIF/PNG/TIFF are
Freeware. The keyfile code and some other legacy stuff
has been removed. This also may speed things up, since there
are less special cases to be covered.
Furthermore, a couple of different optimizations in the 68k code
have been made, some bugs were fixed and some amithlon/uae-
specific optimizations have been made.
Download links:
These datatypes now are specifically targeted to high-end 68k
machines and their emulated counterparts.
