Datatype: WarpPCX 45.5
Under the title link Oliver Roberts has published an update of his WarpPCX datatypes for AmigaOS 3.x, WarpUp, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS which are available as Shareware.
Changes:
- Ignore palette information for 1-bit images, since some applications put bogus values there (including Photoshop) and always render as black/white monochrome instead
- Updated with the latest WarpDT engine build
- Added workaround for a bug in OS4 which can cause a crash when a requester is opened (bug fixed in intuition.library 53.32)
- Fixed (VBCC fix) potential system lockup when calling the GM_RENDER method in the WarpOS version (e.g. when using Multiview with the AfA OS picture.datatype)
- Added workaround for a bug in OS4's datatypes.library DTST_MEMORY handling
- Enabled virtual memory usage in OS4 version
- Asynchronous i/o now uses dos/SendPkt instead of exec/PutMsg
- MorphOS and WarpOS versions recompiled with VBCC 0.9a
- OS4 version recompiled with latest SDK
- Added AmiUpdate support
- Updated Spanish installer strings

IContain announces Amiga branded TVs, cell phones and computers (Update)
When a certain Todd Kleperis contacted the Aminet team two days ago to "discuss your library of Amiga titles" and ask for "guidance as to how to work with the existing fan base", the initial reaction over at Aminet was confusion. According to Kleperis, his company IContain is operating from China and about to revive the Amiga line of electronics. Why he choose to use Aminet as his first contact with the actual Amiga scene was not explained though.
At icontainprotects.com, Kleperis' company is indeed advertising cell phones, tablet PCs, various types of TV screens aswell as all-in-one PCs with integrated monitors - all of them sporting prominent Amiga logos. Obviously these devices are third-party products which have been rebranded as Amiga products by IContain.
You can't actually buy these products from IContain though: The company is mainly operating in the socalled Rent-to-own business. Using devices developed by IContain, furniture or consumer electronics devices leased to end users by Rent-to-own providers can be tracked or even remotely disabled should the customer stop paying its fees in time.
Asked about the reason for introducing a line of Amiga products, Kleperis told us that he was approached by a Rent-to-own provider that intended to buy not only the tracking technology from his company but also the actual consumer electronics - provided IContain could offer a "branded solution". As Amiga "used to be all about innovation in the past" (Kleperis) and other businesses like Lenovo or Sony were not interested in cooperation, Kleperis decided to offer Amiga branded devices.
We were told that the licensing deal was "cut just recently by the executor of an estate", that product just started shipping and that we should expect "worldwide press" soon. The IContain president would neither give any further information nor comment our hints that another company has already announced various Amiga products.
Interestingly, while Leo Nigro, Chief Technology Officer of Commodore USA, states in public that his company obtained a license from Bill McEwen and is free "to do with [the Amiga brand] as we please" - Kleperis mentions the executor of an estate as his business partner. The estate in question would likely be that of former Amiga Inc. investor Pentti Kouri, who deceased in 2009.
Update: (24.02.2011, 22:30, cg)
In contrast to our initial assumption, Bill McEwen is apparently involved with this licensing deal. IContain's official press release has been posted by now, which quotes McEwen: "Amiga has continued to work on bringing new products with new partners, and we are pleased to be working with IContain providing new hardware and software solutions that will benefit everyone."

decoder which can read images encoded using non-baseline DCT block

requester is opened (bug fixed in intuition.library 53.32)
- Fixed (VBCC fix) potential system lockup when calling the GM_RENDER
method in the WarpOS version (e.g. when using Multiview with the

MorphOS: Graphic program Gribouillis 2.7-r233 (beta)
Guillaume "Yomgui" Roguez' graphic program Gribouillis2 (screenshots: 1, 2) supports layers, has an unlimited
undo/redo and some simple picture editing functions.
Changes in this latest beta version:
- New features and major improvements:
- Brush: Split radius/opacity parameters to have range of value depending on pressure: min for low pressure, max for high pressure.
This permit to obtain a better 'real' rendering
- Layer compositor: Added possibility to move layers independently from each other. => activate the drawing surface, press any SHIFT keys and drag using the middle button.
- Layers position saved by the OpenRaster format (.ora).
- Palette: More and smaller palette buttons (256)
- Palette: Load&save buttons (using a very simple textual file format ;-))
- Optimierungen und beseitigte Fehler:
- Brush: Optimized the dab drawing loops, plus fixed the dab center on the pixel center (was on it's edge before). That fix also the rendering at low radius (internally limited to .5)
- Brush: Fixed bounding box computation with a low limit to 3x3 pixels
- Brush: Fixed some memory eats
- Brush: Many other minors fixes
- Layer compositor: Twice speed to render the model than before using better cairo compositing
- Layer compositor: FAST and BILINEAR filter used to render tiles depending on the zoom level used
- Layer compositor: Fixed blit memory trash under some conditions
- View: Bigger draw area at startup, relative to the screen size
- Fixed default file pattern for load/save image requesters
- Fixed PNG saving, plus added support of per layer position
Gribouillis2 is available as "standalone" version (13MB) or as "simple" version which is much smaller. But this simple version requires some
additional libraries and interpreters (Python, PyMUI, PyCairo etc.). Both versions the program has to be installed to harddrive.
The author does not recommend starting the program from the RAM-Disk. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Metacompiler: PortablE r6
Christopher Handley's Metacompiler PortablE translates the programming language E to other languages. Changes:
- It now comes with some nice modules for graphics, sound, music & GUIs. These require no knowledge of AmigaOS programming, and were inspired by the simplicity of BASIC languages like AMOS.
- It comes with full documentation for all of these modules, along with smaller & bigger examples. The preview release does not include these examples, but instead I will be show-casing one of these examples every few days. Keep an eye on the new official PortablE forum for them!
- The documentation has been revamped to be more beginner friendly, and the PortablE installer has been made easier to use. If you still get stuck, then let me know, and I will see what I can do.
- In addition to that, I have made available a large collection of my own useful modules (in the CSH folder), which you can use if you want. These are not properly documented yet, but I will look at documenting them where there is interest.
- There are also various other improvements, and a lot of bug fixes
- As usual it supports Amiga OS4, OS3, AROS, MorphOS & Windows. However (1) the new graphics module does not yet work on Amiga OS3, (2) the new modules do not yet work on Windows, and (3) MorphOS support is still experimental.
