amiga-news.de: Move did not work
Unfortunataly the move of our server did not work. Murphy catched us. The contractor who should transport the servers from A to B this night defered the move to next week because of reasons which are still not known.
Because of the changed and again changed back domain-name-server-entries there can be some impairments.

Linda Godwin astronaut speaker at Amiga99 going into space & info on show
Bob Scharp wrote:
All of you who attended the Amiga99© Computer show,
hosted by Amigan-St. Louis's Bob and Diana Scharp in
St. Louis, MO a few years back, will certainly remember
the banquet. Dr. Linda Godwin, a current astronaut and
her husband, Col. Steve Nagel (retired USAF), a former
astronaut and current NASA employee, were two unforgettable
speakers. Linda not only spoke of her exploits in the
space program, she brought a video that blew our
(Amiga) socks off.
Well, it's Linda's turn to go into space again. I have
heard that she is scheduled to launch November 29. The
mission calls for her and several other astronauts to
go to the new space station, and return several days later.
I know I speak for all of you when I say that Diana and
I wish her the very best flight and a soft touchdown
back on earth.

GFX-BASE: Interview and new voting
GFX-BASE has interviewed John Mason who is the programmer of some nice tools like Taskbar, Wibby, DReminder or NewStuff.
Besides this there is a new opinion poll. It is asked if you use a WB-replacement like Opus Magallan 2 or Scalos or if you are satisfied with the WB as it is. Those ones who improved the Workbench with the help of tools and patches may list them on the vote-commentars thus other ones will get to know it. Have fun!

First test runs of PowerPC G5 gain 2.4 GHz
According to an unconfirmed report on "The Register" two prototypes of
the PowerPC 8500 (G5) of Motorola have gained the level of 2,4 GHz of
clock rate. All other processors of this line work with a clock rate of
1, 1.2 and 1.4 GHz. According to this anonymous source up to one thousend
G5-systems of Apple are supposed to be sold to important developers.
Because PowerPC-processors of Motorola are supposed to work in "Pegasos"
as well as in "AmigaOne" this statement is interesting for future
"Pegasos"/AmigaOne"-succession models which might come. (ps) (Translation: dr)

Filemanager: ClassAction V4.31
Martin R. Elsner released version 4.31 of his filemanager 'ClassAction'. The following changes were made:
- Bugfixes: Icon-commands now using the correct filename, GETSIZE displays the correct size and SNAPSHOT also works now.
- The zoom-button takes ClassAction into the fullsize-mode.
ClassAction recognizes about 40 fileformats (gif, jpeg, iff, mods, ...). This lets you perform actions like viewing, execute and edit by clicking on the file. Additional
filetypes can easily be added.
The program needs AmigaOS 3.5 or higher and a 68020 CPU.

Emulator: WinUAE V08.17 Release 3
Since yesterday, at the
download section
of the WinUAE homepage version 08.17 release 3 of the Amiga emulator is available.
The following errors are known in this version:
- Snapshot (save-state) support is not 100% yet.
- Picasso96 colour-fades are especially slow.
- Only Lemmings 3 AGA's playing screen is centered correctly,
"Lemming-mode" selection buttons on bottom of screen are still
corrupted. (AGA bitplanes do not steal copper's DMA cycles correctly
yet)
- Also Banshee AGA's scoreboard is still invisible because sprites
outside playfields (AGA only feature, not yet implemented) are
always hidden.
Gegenüber der vorigen Version hat sich Folgendes geändert:
- FIXED: Mouse trails are gone gone gone.
- FIXED: No longer crashes in windowed-mode on XP Themed-view.
- FIXED: 68020+ bitfield instruction fix (stuck doors in Dungeon Master AGA)
- FIXED: Fix garbage display on Venus the Flytrap and Nightbreed Interactive
Movie. (Toni Wilen)
- FIXED: Trying to delete a non-empty directory will now properly return
ERROR_DIRECTORY_NOT_EMPTY. (Bernd Roesch)
- FIXED: Renaming a directory which was opened then closed will no longer
crash. (Bernd Roesch)
- FIXED: Increased the range of addresses checked for memory-mapping, in
order to make JIT "direct" mode work on more systems. (Bernd
Roesch)
- FIXED: Selecting a Picasso96 8-bit mode in windowed-mode would complain
about not matching your desktop's depth, and switch to full-screen.
- FIXED: CD-ROM Mounting should work again.
- FIXED: Installer won't install when WinUAE is already running.
- FIXED: Right-click and "Editting" a .UAE config-file will now result in
the correct config-name and config-description in the GUI.
- FIXED: MIDI-Out won't crash external MIDI drivers like "hubies loopback".
(Bernd Roesch)
- ADDED: Jose's modifications to the sound routines and GUI. (Jose Gil)
NOTE: Read doc called "SoundSyncro Readme.rtf"
- ADDED: AHI driver support. (Bernd Roesch)
- ADDED: Option to disable use of overlays completely.
- CHANGED: Floppy-disk emulation, including .FDI support. (Toni Wilen)
- CHANGED: Picasso96 licensing/support notice (above).
- CHANGED: Removed references to "Amiga" in the GUI.
