New Amiga CD32 Emulator for Windows - Project32
A beta version (1.0) of the first non commercial CD32 emulator Project32 had been released on 22.12.01 - barely noticed by public - and supports about 20 games of the CD32. The author promises a new version in the next fortnight, that fixes some problems with Windows2000 and offers an english localization. The homepage demonstrates the features and abilities of the emulator with screenshots from Gunship 2000, Dark Seed and James Pond 2.

Elbox: VHI Studio - Mediator drivers
Elbox Computer is happy to announce availability of new drivers
for the Mediator busboard.
For users of the Mediator PCI for Amiga 1200 and Mediator PCI
for Amiga 4000 busboards with the Mediator Multimedia CD package,
drivers have been released as of today for the VHI Studio software.
These drivers have been prepared by Elbox Computer programmers.
VHI Studio produced by
Innovative, is a
video-editing and snapshot-software
including webcam- and timelapse-support and featuring (PPC-supported)
highspeed-MPEG-compression and realtime-preview-facilities.
It currently supports all major digitizer-boards and DigiCams on
the AMIGA and is the most popular digitizing and recording-software
on the AMIGA-market.
Using the VHI Studio program, users of TV cards in Mediator may
now grab and edit snapshots and video sequences from broadcast
and cable TV and any other signal sources connected to the input
of the TV tuner card, for example: video cameras, TV SAT tuners,
DVD players and VCR players.
All you need is:
Mediator PCI busboard
TV tuner card
Voodoo graphic card
VHI Studio software
Enjoy snapshots and videos to your heart's content.
More creativity. More fun.

H&P: Freespace: at last available
Haage&Partner wrote:
At last we get the official permission to ship 'Freespace'. The advance orders are allready shipped.
Freespace was proted by Hyperion Entertainment and is surely the best the space-battle-simulation that was ever available for the Amiga. It offers a unique mixture of phantastic graphics, complex plot and an outstanding gameplay.
Freespace can be used with every Amiga with PPC-CPU and 64MB RAM or Amigas with 68060 and a 3D-accelerator-board (like Voodoo3, Permedia 2).
Additional information is available at the titlelink. (ps) (Translation: sk)

Downloadmanager: Charon V1.98
Well, believe it or not, it's been released. Available from my
homepage or from Aminet in a couple of days.
Version 1.98 (6.1.2002)
- Introduced the concept of groups. Now each URL can belong to
a group and will take that group's settings as its default
settings. A new URL is by default placed in the group in
which the active entry indicator is currently found.
- Completely rewritten URL parsing routine which resulted in a
large speed up. This speed up would be even larger, but the
URL comparison routine was changed from simple string compare
to full-blown URL comparison routine which works properly.
- Rewritten detection of duplicates in the list. The code is now
much faster and works for any number of duplicates, unlike in
the last version.
- Charon now remembers the length of the file on server and
shows it all the time (if it is available).
- Many improvements and some fixes in the HTML parsing routine.
- Addressed some security issues.
- There's now a special treatment for %2F URL escape code (/)
because there are some filesystems that allow / in a filename.
- Added support for ftp://.../file;type=x URLs.
- When automatically creating filenames from the URL, %xx
sequences are now decoded.
- There's a new section in the documentation describing some
"hidden" features. Charon's tooltypes/arguments (LOG and
SETTINGS) are documented there.
- It is now possible to log all HTTP headers that were sent or
received through Charon for debugging purposes. More about
this in the advanced section of the manual.
- There's a new configuration option which tells Charon not to
read the size of the files on the disk during the startup thus
speeding it up. More about this in the advanced section of
the manual.
- DOS requesters are now blocked while the list of entries is
being loaded in order to prevent a bunch of the "Please
insert ..." requesters from a appearing if one of your drives
is dismounted.
- New gadget "Move & start" in HTML links and Internet search
windows.
- Changed the way Charon shortens the filenames when "Max
filename length" option comes into action.
- Changed the way the "Directory structure" option works. It now
also takes into consideration the name of the host.
- When a file is downloaded and Charon needs to check if there
are any queued files to be started, they are first searched
for in the same group in which the downloaded file was.
- Some changes in ARexx interface as a result of introduction
of groups.
- Updated some and removed some searches from Internet search
window. Ideas for possible additions are welcome.
- Fixed a bug in parsing dates in HTTP headers.
- Fixed a rare bug in display of percentage of the downloaded
file.
- Too long FTP paths would cause a crash while sending a
request. Fixed.
- Fixed a small memory leak during that occured only when Charon
was started from the shell.
- Charon would report that it couldn't resume a transfer when a
file had already been downloaded fully.
- SET Arexx command wasn't working properly for ages, fixed.

Version 15.13 of the "vapor_toolkit.library" was released for AmigaOS and MorphOS. This library offers support functions used by most Vapor applications to reduce code size. The library's functions include the procedure of registration and watching for new versions at vapor.com. Changes in this version:
- Changed: Every character of an URL greater than 127 are regocnized as end mark. This should solve the AmIRC URL problem with the French catalog.
- New: URLs without scheme within quotation marks now are recognized ["www.blah.com"].
- Changed: Default memory needs of URL recognition reduced.

Virus Help Denmark: Safe V17.7, Integrity V1.2
Version 17.1 of the virus detector "Safe" by Zbigniew Trzcionkowski was released. "Safe" recognizes viruses in memory and removes them if possible.
Safe contains a bugfix and the packet was splitted into three parts:
"Safe", "Integrity" und "WatchDog".
Changes:
- Bugfix: Fixed "mislooks" in VECS, SAVEMEM and DIS
anyway, seems only I use these options...
"Safe" runs on AmigaOS 2.04+ and requires xvs.library.
"Integrity" is a disk tool displaying any file added, deleted or changed since the last time "Integrity" was launched.
This is helpful to discover viruses / trojans in the system, but information also can be used to remove recently installed but not desired files, such like fonts, libraries, etc..
"Integrity" runs on AmigaOS v2.04+, the MMU version requires mmu.library.

Audio: Ogg Vorbis-Libraries for AmigaOS
On the
Da SixK Port Page
quick done ports of the libOgg and libVorbis were released.
The Ogg Vorbis format
is an open source audio format being an alternative for MP3.
The release of this developer kit is to encourage people to program a new
player or an Ogg Vorbis plugin for AmigaAmp.
The libVorbis directory contains examples for the use of the Ogg Vrobis libraries.
There also is "decode_example", a Ogg Vrobis to PCM decoder, contained.
There is also an example for how to code files to Ogg Vorbis format, but this does not
seem to work properly.

Amiga: NDK V3.9 released
Since Friday the update of the native developer kit on AmigaOS 3.9
is available for download at the AmigaOS 3.9 area of amiga.com.
The NDK v3.9 bases on the NDK 3.5 released on "Amiga Developer CD 2.1" and
is in part identical with this.
The example programs are mostly the same, as well as the tutorials and tools.
C headers and assembler headers, linker libraries, autodocs, and ARexx interface
documentaions for the Workbench have been updated. New are the "release note files"
and the so called "sfd files".
amiga.lib stubs, clib prototyp header-, pragma header,
and .fd files are all generated by the sfd files.
As an example tool for processing sfd files "sfd" is included in the tools
directory - but, one can also use third-party tools like "fd2pragma" (by Dirk Stöcker).
Note: sfd files of this release have been "sanified", meaning protected and internal
data are left out.
C header files have been cleared and their syntax were verified again. They now compile
problemless with SAS/C and GCC, even if all compiler warnings are enabled.
This release contains no specific GGC header files, but this might change in future
updates.
As of this writing, the specific requirements for GCC on the
native 68k and on the PowerPC platforms are still somewhat
uncertain. To the best of our knowledge, the compiler specific
header files would have covered the ROM interface, that is, the
pragma header files only. As the "sfd" files are provided with this
distribution, you should be able to rebuild your platform specific
header files yourself, or obtain a set from your compiler vendor.
This NDK update also represents a milestone regarding the assembler
header files. With this release these are no longer guaranteed to by
synchron to their counterparts in C.
Questions, bugreports, and wishes regarding the NDK 3.9 should be send directly
to that person, who created this updated: Olaf Barthel.
Thanks to all who contributed to this update, including
Martin Blom, Don Cox, James Jacobs, Gunther
Nikl, Alastair M. Robinson, Matt Sealey, Steven Solie, Martin
Steigerwald, Dirk Stöcker, Neil William, and others!
