AmigaOS 4: Update of RDesktop-Clienten
The Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) allows the access of applications
across the network, which are executed on a Windows Terminal Server
For AmigaOS 4 was a new Version of the clienten released, which
includes following changes:
- All reported issues with the GUI have been fixed. We had reports of
crashing from users - everything should be fine now.
- A few other bugs and fixes on the GUI, too. The binary is the same as
the previous release.
The client requires the Prerelease-Update 4. The Projektmanager payed
the Authores for the work, so all user of the RDP-client are invoked to
support the development with a donation. At this moment are 130 EUR collected
and will be paid to the authors.

individual Computers: Demo-party sponsoring and shipping of new products
individual Computers sponsors Breakpoint
For the tenth time in a row, a big Scene-event takes place in Germany at easter time. The well-established successor to the legendary "Mekka/Symposium" parties Breakpoint will make the small city Bingen, Germany, the destination for the whole European demoscene for the fourth time now.
Demos are non-interactive programs that show the capabilities of makers and machine with music, graphics and animation. The special thing about demos is their strict limitation for example in size, which is done in order to achieve comparability in competitions. Demo parties are non-commercial events where entrance fees and sponsor's donations are used mostly to cover prizes for these competitions.
Individual Computers is proud to support this form of art as "silver sponsor" again. An invitation to such a demoparty is of course done with a demo that's available on the party's FTP server as a free download (12MB). If the demo doesn't run on your type of computer, you can also watch the XVID AVI video. At 98MB, it's more than 8 times as big and cannot offer the same picture quality. Even if you can't come to the party, it's worth watching! For fans of the Commodore C64, there's an invitation demo that you can download here as a D64 archive.
New products shipping
The clockport-adapter for the Amiga 500 and the USB-converter for Commodore-keyboards Keyrah will start shipping to our retail partners on monday, march 20th. Please mention your type of keyboard when ordering, because Keyrah must be programmed with your keyboard layout at the factory.
The scope of delivery has also been decided now: Every Keyrah comes with a screwdriver and a 2-meter (6.5 ft) USB cable. Versions for Amiga keyboards come with an assembly kit that ensures contact even to partly damaged foil connectors of the A600/A1200 keyboards.
Customers who have pre-ordered the special edition of the Buddha controller for Phoenix-Amigas will recieve an eMail from us in the next few days. (snx)

AmigaJoker.de celebrates third anniversary
AmigaJoker.de, the self declared "computer forum of the cool generation", is celebrating its third anniversary today. Meanwhile there are more than 350 registered members.
Please read the following official statement of Amiga-Joker.de:
Three good Years?
Since exactly three years now we make you happy, us and the rest of the amiganized world with the "computer forum of the cool generation".
And they were three really exciting years: It is up to the German ministery of statistics to recalculate all the events and stories. ;)
Finally we have enjoyed so many highlights and sometimes we were angry with several discussions. We could experience various trends and the birth of new hard- and software jewels - in the Amiga as well as the pc- and console area. Above all we have seen how a small fan bulletin from the user "grand_diablo" with his "PC Joker Forum" and a few users have changed to a bigger and pleasant community of Amiga-, pc- and console users, 350 members so far, after their move to AmigaJoker.de.
I want to thank you in the name of my moderators and I hope this community will be still alive for a long time! Of course wishes and suggestions are always welcome - as well as helping hands for their realization!
How could it be different as there is a lottery in the tradition of the joker called "the millions' joker lottery"! You will find it at: AmigaJoker.de -> Sonstiges -> JokerGames -> Joker-Millionspiel. Please read the text very CAREFUL! ;)
I wish you a lot of fun with AmigaJoker.de so far and hope you will still heavily join the community. Should you face problems with your account, please send an e-mail.
Regards

MorphOS: Package Manager MorphUp 1.0 (Bounty Release)
After six months of development Rupert Hausberger today released version 1.0 of his package manager MorphUp. This Version meets the terms of the "Bounty" posted on morphzone.org. The author thanks all donators and those who support the project in other ways.
Introduction
MorphUp is the result of the ezPM bounty, released on morphzone.org. So far, when installing a new application, AmigaOS/MorphOS users often had to visit various internet pages and download, unpack and install several archives manually. The packet manager MorphUp is to take over this time consuming and error-prone process from the user.
MorphUP consists of two parts: the "Generator" used by developers to create so-called "packages", archives which contain the actual software. Those packages can be hosted on any HTTP server. The MorphUp client then assumes the download and installation of those packages on the computer of the user.
Features of MorphUp
Package system:
- Packages can be grouped by type.
- Theoreticaly unlimited packages per group and unlimited dirs/files per package.
- Can handle file size up to (the DOS limitation of) 2 GB.
- Extraction of files without the need of unpacking the whole package.
- Real directory structures in packages.
- 3 different package types:
- Full packages, to transfer a huge amount of files at once.
- Single packages, to safe bandwitch if only a few files need to transfered.
- Link packages, to refer to other archives.
- Full packages automaticly split into parts if they grow too larger while generation.
- Dynamic block compression based on zlib.
- Fully asyncron, any function can be aborted at any time. The task-priority can be set for each asyncron function.
- Differentiation between system and application files.
- Fast installation, uninstallation, extraction and convertion routines.
- Tag-based saving to easy add things later.
Graphic User Interface:
- Multithreaded MUI applications, can handle multiple indexes at same time.
- Many editing functions like: add, remove, makedir, add recursive...
- Cut&Paste edit mode, even over different packages.
- Dynamic context menus everywhere, even in list-titels.
- Full locale support.
- Disabling of unwanted indexes, package classes and packages.
- Setable colors, styles and dateformat in all listtrees and lists.
- Controlable through application menus, contextmenus, keyboard.
- Detailed information groups for packages and files.
- Toolbar with replaceable icons.
Other:
- Configurable datatype system with MIME-support.
- Configurable data classes system, to avoid hardcoded paths.
- Configurable package classes system, to avoid hardcoded paths.
- Uses XAD system to support many types of archives in link packages.
- Packages can have a picture, any size and type is supported.
- Multilevel log system with possibility to log to disk.
- Small memory usage.

New Edition of the SUBWAY USB-Controllers
Due to the high demand E3B is happy to anounce a new editon of the reknown and popular USB controller SUBWAY for the Amiga Clockport. Production could commence before the research period of Michael Böhmer and is already revved.
The new edition is supported actively by the former competitor on the USB market. Massimo Mancini - designer of the UltraBUS, unfortunately produced only as a prototype - has ceded its store to E3B and therefore enables a smooth reissue of the SUBWAY, which otherwise almost had failed due to the sales policy of the semiconductor industry and their germand distributors respectively.
As before, Chris Hodges popular USB-Stack Poseidon will be included in the 2.x version. The convenient upgrade-offer, E3B will take over part of the liscencing costs, also applies to the reisued SUBWAY modules and so far is available only for E3B products in the section of USB controllers for the Amiga.
E3B will announce the beginning of shipment for the SUBWAY as usual on the popular news pages. It is already a fact, tha SUBWAY will be available at al major Amiga vendors worldwide. As a novelty, this time distribution for chosen countries will be handled through individual computers to enable al vendors to purchase at low cost (thus enabling low consumer prices).

New version of Smart File System and SFS2 (AmigaOS 3/4)
Jörg Strohmayer has released new versions of the file systems SFS ("Smart File System") and SFS2. In the meantime, a port of SFS2, which supports files larger than 4 GB, exists for AmigaOS 3 as well, moreover, the maximum partition size now lies at 1 TB (Terabyte). Warning: Those who already use SFS2 and want to upgrade to the newest version must reformat all SFS2 partitions imperatively.
An update to the original SFS is also available. In SFS 1.254, the maximum partition size now lies at 128 GB, irrespective of the block size used. All corresponding checks were revised, should SFS be used on a partition that is too large, the file system now reacts duly with "Disk Full" error messages. (cg) (Translation: cad)

Under the title link were most of the 95 issues of the Italian Amiga Magazine (released from 1988 to 1997) made available for download with official permission.
Readers appreciated the magazine because of its professional technical emphasis being the reason why they only marginally wrote about games.

MorphOS: new developers snapshot of MUI 4.0 alpha released
For peole loving to experiment did Stefan Stuntz release an up-to-date snapshot of the current version alpha 4.0 of his Magic User Interface (MUI).
Please note that it is in no way a finished version but still further development is needed - so you use it at your own risk.
Besides, some fundamental changes regarding the internals of MUI were made so that it may well be that some of your older MUI programs won't work anymore under the current version. So it is advised to backup your MUI version before installing this one.
MUI 4.0 alpha is available only for MorphOS, there are no limits of the usability regarding a keyfile or a timeout. Support of AmigaOS 4 is said to still fail because of the lack of supply with such a computer for porting.
To install just unpack the archive's content to MOSSYS. Developers can find the SDK in the file muisdk.lha.
Download: muibeta_20060226.lha (2,5 MB)

Charset conversion: codesets.library 6.0
The codesets.library allows applications to use codeset/charset tables via a unique interface and to convert between different charsets, e.g. within an email client from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1.
Applications already using the codesets.library are among others the Instant Messenger 'Epistula' and the current "developer" versions of the known mailer software YAM.
The library (recently released under the LGPL) is available as version 6.0 for AmigaOS 3, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOSt. Next to the porting to AmigaOS 4 were numerous changes made in this version making it in some points incompatible with earlier versions.

MorphOS: MorphUp beta version 0.955
MorphUp is a packet manager for MorphOS written by Rupert Hausberger and it is now available
in version 0.955. This update contains a new toolbar with exchangeable graphics sd well as
some optimations and bug fixes.
MorphUp is a packet management system as you can find in the Linux world, too.
You do not have to take care of the newest software versions by looking at every
corresponding website - so for missing libraries or MUI-classes. Instead of that
MorphUp organizes the installation, updates of single components and applications.

Updated MorphOS for PowerUP Users
Press release The MorphOS development team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of an updated MorphOS version for computers equipped with PowerUP accelerator cards. The included changes are as follows:
- Vastly improved graphics hardware compatability: MorphOS now includes 68K drivers for popular graphics cards such as the Cybervision64, Cybervision 64/3D and the Picasso IV.
- Problems on machines with more than 128MB of memory were fixed.
- hal.com1 was updated in order to allow proper support of CV3D support.
- The RegTool (registration application) was updated as well.
- An experimental version of 4IDE support was added. (Please read the IDE splitter section in the "morphos.readme" text file.)
- The update also includes new Hungarian locale settings.
The MorphOS Free Edition for PowerUP can be downloaded from powerup.morphos-team.net. We suggest to carefully read the instructions on the website as well as in the included "readme" text to make the installation process as effortless as possible.
We hope you enjoy the update and would like to thank Csaba Simon and Péter Földesi for supplying test hardware.
