Emulator: Preview to WinUAE 4.0.0
As usual the developers of the well-known Amiga emulator WinUAE present a short preview to the changes of the next version. WinUAE 4.0.0 is supposed to be released in May or June and will provide the following features:
New features:
- Beam Racing Lagless VSync which reduces input latency to sub-5ms. Replaces old Low Latency VSync.
- Virtual multi monitor support. Each virtual Amiga video output connector (Video port graphics adapter, RTG boards) can be “connected” to separate WinUAE window, emulating real hardware being connected to more than one physical monitor.
- Debugger supports running Amiga executables from shell, adds symbol and gcc stab debugging data support, loads executable to special reserved address space which enables detection of any illegal accesses byte accurately and more.
- Overlay graphics led (power, floppy etc) support.
- Close confirmation option added to misc panel.
- Default WASAPI audio device automatically follows Windows default audio device.
- Directory harddrives now use uaehf.device as a fake device driver (replacing non-existing uae.device), for example programs that query extra information (like SCSI Inquiry data) now get valid data.
- Directory filesystem harddrive fake block size dynamic adjustment now starts from smaller disk size, workaround for WB free space calculation overflow when partition is larger than 16G.
- Disk swapper config file data is restored from statefile.
3.6.x bug fix:
- WD33C93 based SCSI controllers hung the system if controller didn’t have any connected SCSI devices.
Older bugs fixed:
- On the fly switching from non-cycle exact to cycle-exact mode stopped emulation in certain situations.
- Fixed E-Matrix accelerator board RAM selection.
- If CD was changed and system was reset during change delay, drive become empty and new CD was never inserted. Mainly affected CD32 and CDTV.
- Code analyzer warnings fixed (uninitialized variables, buffer size checks etc..)
New emulated expansions:
- C-Ltd Kronos
- CSA Magnum 40
- DCE Typhoon MK2
- GVP A1230 Series II
- Hardital TQM
- MacroSystem Falcon 040
- Xetec FastTrak

MorphOS Software Development Kit 3.12
Press release: The MorphOS Development Team would like to announce the immediate availability of the April 2018 release of the MorphOS SDK 3.12. The new SDK introduces support for Objective-C MUI application development, adds a Clang compiler, GCC 6.4.0, updated GCC5 as well as a GIT suite, many updated libraries and components.
Please note that, at this point, the Objective-C support should be considered a demo - both ABI and API are not yet 100% stable. MorphOS 3.12 may require your applications to be recompiled to work.
The new SDK requires at least 2GB of free disk space to install and is available for download in our files section.

Gary-Wafer in private American library (picture)
In the "Walker Library of Human Imagination" Arthur Steinmetz has recognized a wafer of the Amiga custom chip Gary, which in the Amiga 500, Amiga 2000 (B) and in Amiga CDTV "provides glue logic for bus control and houses supporting functions for the floppy disk drive". Under the title link he has published a picture of the exhibit.

WHDLoad: Looking for help for verifying old bugs
The bugtracker of the WHDLoad team contains more than 1500 bugs which are partly very old. Bert Jahn, the author of WHDLoad, suspects that many of the bugs can be refered to e.g. the usage of cracked versions or buggy hardware. Other bugs have not sufficient details to be able to reconstruct the bug.
Jahn is going to reduce the amount of open bug report as far as possible. Therefore he asks users of WHDLoad to check some of the open bugs listed in the database and to give a feedback if they could be reconstructed. In this way the team can recognize which bugs have priority. Very old bugs which nobody could reconstruct will be deleted.
If users should find new problems with WHDLoad versions of games then they are asked to post them in the bugtracker instead of writing them in the forum.

Crowdfunding: History of Commodore - The Final Years
Started with Commodore: A Company on the Edge and Commodore: The Amiga Years, Brian Bagnall now is working on the thirs part of his triology about the history of Commodore.
According to Bagnall "this book is mostly written and now requires extensive editing and polish". He has started a campaign for crowdfunding the third volume: The book is supposed to be available at the end of the year.
So far 24,862 Euro were pledged and thus the goal of 15,906 Euro exceeded. Similar to the previous book "stretch goals" were defined like metallic foil stamp on spine, pages of color photos or embossed title on front cover which can be implemented if the required money will be donated. In order to achieve the same product quality, about 57.000 Euro have to be pre-financed by May 16th.

Demo scene: The Black Lotus released final version of Starstruck
12 years after the first release of "Starstruck" at the Assembly 2006 - the demo did win the competition - the scene group The Black Lotus has released a final version of it. According to the authors, the final version fixes some display errors. Additionally some optimizations of the performance, caused by an Atari-Falcon-port by MiKRO / Mystic, were back ported to the Amiga.
Starstruck requires an AGA Amiga with a 68060 (50 Mhz) and about 50 MB Fast-RAM. Graphic boards are not supported.

MorphOS: E-Mail client Iris, beta 24
Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek's "Iris" is supposed to become the default mail program for MorphOS. It supports IMAP and can read and create HTML mails. The program requires MorphOS 3.10. You can give feedback to the author using the corresponding discussion on Morphzone. Changes since our last news item:
Beta 24
- Email viewer displays some basic error on failure now, instead of just showing the loading animation forever
- Fixed: OAuth2 wouldn't always migrate to new settings correctly
- Fixed: OAuth2 could never complete in some cases
- Fixed: if the latest message in folder was removed on server, it was not removed from the local cache
Beta 23
- Reworked job priority queue to avoid situations where one has to wait for email contents for too long
- Folder full sync jobs can now be done in steps (unlocks email reading while syncing)
- Fixed email counts in the folder tree for IMAP
- Reworked autoconfiguration for OAuth2 providers
- Added Yahoo! Mail OAuth2 provider (does NOT work at the moment)
- Cut text (cmd+x) shortcut added to the email writer
- Revamped transport security settings - now a switch between TLS, STARTTLS and opportunistic STARTTLS
- When replying or forwarding mail, an appropriate flag on the source email is set
- Fixed: quick folder synchornization would call Close on a fh twice if ChangeMode() failed
- Fixed: Removing an account did not kill the entry from the settings list
- Fixed: After an account was removed but not removed from the list, collecting properties for the non-existing account threw exceptions
- Fixed: there was a rather nasty race condition in the main Session class
- Fixed: after adding a message to a folder and synchronizing the folder, each time it was synchronized, the message would duplicate in the index

A4000: Two projects for original motherboard remakes
Last week two projects for the remake of A4000 motherboards (revision B) were presented:
The US-American trader and repair service Paul 'Acill' Rezendes is going to solve the problem of highly attrited A4000 motherboards he gets for repairing. Therefore he started a campaign Amiga 4000 Replica with Schematics at GoFundMe.
At the moment 4910 USD of the required 5000 USD were donated but Rezendes himself did finance the remaining sum and already tasked an US-American company with the development of an exact clone of the revision B of the A4000 motherboard. The corresponding project file will be available in different file formats ("open and public"), so interested people can produce new motherboards. The initiator of the project answers questions in a thread on amiga.org.
Another remake of the A4000 motherboard is A4000+ Alice. This design has been already finished. The developer already has assembled a working Amiga 4000 using "his" motherboard. As soon as the remaining motherboards will be sold on Amibay, the project documents will be publicly available. The Finnish developer 'hese7' plans also an ATX version of the motherboard. According to Finnish users a Prometheus-PCI solution will be included.
