Amiga Archive: Download via HTTP Recommended
Patrick Roberts (Web-Server "zAMilo") has recommended on the Open Amiga mailing list
to use the HTTP protocol for downloads of the Amiga archive. Downloads via HTTP
have the advantage of being counted and displayed directly on this page.
He himself and probably other programmers, too, orientate their priorities for
the software development along these numbers.
At the moment there are many games in the Top 10 of the downloads.
For him this means to concentrate on games for , as this is the software genre
which is most wanted by the people.

Amiga: Information about SHEEP
Gary Peake has posted some information about SHEEP on the Open Amiga mailing
list. SHEEP is a programming language in development by Wouter van Oortmerssen
(Amiga E) specially for AmigaDE.
The language can be used as interpreter and as compiler language (VP-code). The
speed of the compiled code is said to be comparable to that of C++/Java.
The pattern matching of SHEEP won't be restricted to strings but can be used on
every data structure. For this the language will contain an own variant for the
pattern matching. In addition to this the kn regular expressions (Perl) will
be supported. It is not decided until whether this will happen as a separate
feature or via utility functions.
The language will offer an interface to write extensions for SHEEP. This will
allow to write them in every language that supports the Amiga-Object-system, for
example VP-assembler or Ansi-C.
(VP is the virtual processor of the Amiga/TAO system)

A new Message about iFusion
Original message:
«We have encountered a few problems with the compiler we were using for
the Amiga. Today, H&P (makers of the compiler) are to email us a new
(corrected) version that should fix the problems that we have run into.
It came to the point where we could no longer make work-arounds for the
compiler errors.
We would like to publically thank H&P for their continued support of
this project! The Amiga version of iFUSION is the base code for the PC
port.»

Another Petition against Software Patents
The Linux User Group Switzerland also has started a petition against
software patents a couple of days ago (currently 1082 have signed), and
they have put online some background information. You can find details at
the title link.
The signatures shall be brought forward to the Swiss EPUe-Delegation, who was
to find in the latest 10:9 ballot on the "pro SWPAT" page (10 votes). The next
conference will take place from November 20th to 29th in Munich so there is
quite little time....

Two Beta Snapshots of NetBSD-1.5 for 68k Amiga
There are two new beta test versions of NetBSD-1.5 for 68020/030/040/060-Amigas available and we are
looking forward to your test reports:
The official BETA2-snapshot on the NetBSD-server ftp.netbsd.org in directory /pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.5_BETA2/amiga/
(7th November 2000)
Those testers who have not a fast connection to the net but who have got the possibility of burning
CD-ROMs or CD-RW at the net: a little bit older ISO-CD-Image (27th October 2000) with a snapshot which
was compiled and brought to the form of ISO-CD by Bernd Sieker (thanks to him) with the URLs:
NetBSD-1.5_BETA_amiga.txt
NetBSD-1.5_BETA_amiga.iso
NetBSD-1.5_BETA_amiga.md5
