ACSH hardware meeting the oncoming Saturday
Sven Scheele from the AmigaClub Schleswig-Holstein wrotes:
"Due to the many unexpected registrations (approximately 15) of users who want to bring along their own computers to the meeting in Kiel on Saturday, all seats are taken in the meantime. We are not able to accept further registrations, since our event rooms are quite small this time.
We will try to get bigger rooms for the next meeting in the second quarter of 2006 and hope for a similarly positive response.

AROS: Status update January 2006
In his latest status update, Paolo Besser gives a summary of the recent developments around the open-source AmigaOS reimplementation AROS. He writes:
This is the first status update of 2006, and we wish to thank all AROS users, sponsors and enthusiasts for their support: at the beginning of 2005 AROS-Exec had about 250 members, now this number has doubled with more than 500 (and growing). During these months AROS has achieved some key goals such as network support, CVS to Subversion migration and PPC porting. More and more applications had been ported or added, lots of bug had been fixed, and there's also a flavour of AROS running on top of classic AmigaOS, in order to modernize it. We're all sure that 2006 will be a very interesting year for AROS. And now, let's go with our fresh news...
Georg Steger has fixed input preferences for mouse, in order to improve mice tracking and pointer precision on the screen.
Mathias Rustler has updated documentation for users and developers, adding some nice hints and removing obsolete informations. You'll find signs of his work through this site. Mathias has also commited ExecuteStartup, a little tool that executes whatever application you'll copy in the SYS:WBstartup drawer. (snx)

AfA: AROS for AmigaOS 3.92
AROS for AmigaOS (AfA), a Project to enhance the AmigaOS 3.x with a
reimporting of newer AROS-Functionen, is Update to Version 3.92.
The newer version provided a faster drawing of icons in high color.
But in the default config is the FastIcon-option off. To activate this
AfA-config is a system restart required. At this moment this option is
only with AGA and Picasso96 tested - a feedback of the usability with CyberGraphX
is requested.
As second change was a SaferSystem-option added to the AfA-config, which
make it possible to switch the Exec-Guardfunction on and off (during
operation) to protect the system agains a crash or makes it compatible.
In default is this option deaktivated. (snx) (Translation: aj)

MorphOS: First public beta version of the SFSDoctor
Already on the 8th of January, a first public beta version of the repair program SFSDoctor was published by Marek Szyprowski (screenshot). Here, it concerns a SelfBounty project (reported by amiga-news.de), which can still be donated to.
In the meantime, the author has worked on the graphical user interface, so that he just has the filesystem-check module in front of him, as the last component. In addition, he is looking for a graphic artist for an appropriate icon.

Ars Technica: Matrox DualHead2GoTest on (among other things) a µ-A1
In an English test report of Jeremy Reimer about DualHead2Go from Matrox - a small external box which distributes the video signal from a graphics card to two monitors - a µ-A1 with AmigaOS 4 is used as one system beside others.
Coming to the point: the necessary EDID-standard ("Extended Display Identification Data") isn't supported by AmigaOS 4 yet, even with the upcoming update, but according to a comment from Hans-Jörg Frieden (Hyperion) it is already under work. (snx) (Translation: ts)

CD Player 2.1 for AmigaOS/AfA and MorphOS
#AmigaZeux released version 2.1 of Ilkka Lehtoranta's CD Player. The update includes a bug-fixed MorphOS version and does now also support AmigaOS/AfA (AROS for AmigaOS).
Requirements for MorphOS version are:
Requirements for AmigaOS/AfA version are:
- AmigaOS 3.0
- "AROS for AmigaOS" extension
- 68020 + FPU
- MUI 3.8
- CGX 3
- AHI 4
- WBStart for AmigaAMP plugins
- FreeDB 13.0
Due to a bug in AfA (or in AROS), initially one didn't get the button graphics correctly on AmigaOS. This bug is fixed meanwhile by a new graphics_lib.exe for AfA (Download, 83 KB).
Please note that the common name with the old program by Stian Olsen for the Amiga Overdrive CDROM has been by accident; there is no connection between them. (snx)

Intel parts with the name "Pentium"
According to TG Daily Intel is slowly going to part completely with the
brand "Pentium" as a name for processors without official statement.
Present Pentium processors will for example be called "Intel D 920" or
"Intel 672" in the future. The complete conversion of the names is
supposed to be done in the near future. Intel was not willing to speak
out on this.
Indeed the separation from an established brand name is chancy, says
analyst Kevin Krewell , but the name Pentium has become obsolete and
partly leads to confusion. Furthermore the single processor is becoming
less and less important in Intel's product range, as the attention will
be increasingly directed on platforms like Centrino. (nba) (Translation: iw)

MorphOS: Fireflies and APooler 1.0
Fireflies
Fireflies is a small Demo, which demonstrates the possibilities of TinyGL.
(Screenshot).
Link: Homepage of Linux-Version
Link: Downloadseite
Download: Fireflies.lha (120 KB)
APooler
The point of APooler is to decrease the memory-fragmentation on MorpOS,
which can slow down the system after a longer working time.
Apooler is at this moment not tested, this is the reason why the author
has no information about the efficiency at this moment.

AmigaOS 4: Warp3D plugin for Playstation emulator FPSE
As the next update of Mathias Roslund's FPSE port will take some more time the author released a Warp3D plugin for the existing version of the Playstation emulator.
The plugin works very well with some games (Colin McRae and Ridge Racer are mentioned as examples), other games are problematic or run even slower.

Linux: ColdFire plans for Debian-m68k
As the computer news site Symlink reported exist plans to port the Debian Linux variant for processors of the 680x0 family to the related successor architecture ColdFire to revive this Linux project.
At the time it's not decided wether a common port for both architectures is indeed possible but for now the barriers seem not to be insuperable. In addition Freescale promised for this project five Coldfire boards for testing purposes.

Linux: Updated AmigaOne-Kernel (2.4.26, 2.6.8-16)
On 8th January the PegXMac-developer
Entwickler David Bentham published the updated Linux-Kernel for the AmigaOne.
The adapted 2.4.26er Kernel
should now enable DMA for all AmigaOne-boards.
The eleventh version of the Kernel 2.6.8-16
works together with most of the drivers as moduls (z.B. printers, USB) and the
SILImage-nodul can be used again, too.
Besides this there is a new 3D-driver (agpgart) but which is only for tests.
The author asks for sending back the Log-files (dmesg and /var/log/messages) under
the title link.
Furthermore there are still problems to be solved so some Amigas may crash.

After an opinion poll in the Blitzbasic forum of the Windows-, Linux- and Mac OS-users a new category for AmiBlitz2 was established today. With this action it is tried to build a bridge between the new Blitzbasic variants and the original.
It is the aim that the exchange between users of all four operating systems should create new impulses and the experience of the Amiga Blitzbasic community should be mixed with new ideas of the newer BlitzPlus-/Blitz3D- and BlitzMax-users. (snx) (Translation: ts)

MorphOS: DigiFilter 2.0
Grzegorz 'Krashan' Kraszewski has released DigiFilter version
2.0 for MorphOS. It is a design tool for digital FIR filters
("finite impulse response".
Different to programs which are limited to typical low pass,
high pass, band pass and band stop frequency answers or are
encompassing a limited set of frequency points, DigiFilter
offers a graphic frequency response editor.
The program uses a window design technique with rectangle,
trirangle, "Blackman" and "Kaiser" windows. Thanks to high
otimization even very long filter (2048 sample points and
more) may be used real ime on G3 computers.
DigiFilter 2.0 requires the media stream library Reggae B by
the same author (amiga-news.de
reported).

More graphic designers wanted for the Shoot'em Up "Megalospirit"
"Megalospirit", a Shoot'em Up for Windows, Mac OS,
Linux, MorphOS and maybe AmigaOS 4, is under development
since 2003 (screen shots: 1, 2, 3, 4). The
game requires OpenGL and SDL and uses a screen resolution of
800x600 pixels. The engine runs under Windows, Mac OS
and Linux yet.
The current team, Jérôme "Polluxe" Davoine (code), Olivier
"Haploo" Gonneau (music) and Thierry "LorD" Philippe (gfx), is
looking for one or two more gfx dsigners who may design sprite
or (tile
based) landscapes. If you interested, you may contact the developers lord @ lordfpx . com. (cg) (Translation: ub)

Amiga Future release 58 (Januar/Februar 2006) was published
The following German text reports about the release 58 of the German
Amiga-Magazin "Amiga Future". The Amiga Furure are only published in
german language.
Pressemitteilung : Etwas früher als geplant ist heute die Amiga Future Ausgabe 58 (Januar/Februar 2006) erschienen.
In dieser Ausgabe sind wieder Artikel für alle Bereiche dabei. So haben wir Desert Racing für den Classic Amiga, BlobWars für AmigaOS 4 und Virtual GP für MorphOS getestet.
Aber natürlich gibt es nicht nur Berichte über Spiele. Ein MyApacheStarter Test fehlt genauso wenig im Heft wie ein Special über die AmigaOS 4 Prefs oder RAM und ein Review von AmiKit.
Natürlich ist das nicht der gesamte Inhalt der Amiga Future. Auf unerer Homepage findet ihr eine Inhaltsangabe sowie Leseproben.
Als besonderes Highlight haben wir, neben vielen weiteren Vollversionen, auf unserer LeserCD Main Actor sowie Ports of Call. (Ein passendes Interview zu POC fehlt natürlich auch nicht.)
Die Auflage der Amiga Future steigt stetig. Das hatte in der Vergangenheit zur Folge das einige Einzelheft-Besteller leider leer ausgegangen sind. Um das zu vermeiden haben wir natürlich die Druckauflage erhöht. Trotzdem haben wir auch dieses mal die Befürchtung das die Ausgabe wesentlich früher ausverkauft ist als geplant. Wir empfehlen deswegen allen Usern die an dieser Ausgabe der Amiga Future Interesse haben, so bald wie möglich zu bestellen.
Die Amiga Future ist im Amiga Fachhandel (Zum Beispiel Vesalia, GGS-Data, ...) sowie auf den Amiga Future und APC&TCP Homepages erhältlich. (cg) (Translation: aj)

MorphOS: Reggae B veröffentlicht (Update)
Grzegorz 'Krashan' Kraszewski notify a new class is now added to Reggae -
it is fir.filter used for audio signal filtering. The code is highly
optimized, so even very long filters (2048 taps and more) can be performed
in realtime even on G3 processor. Some routines are written for AltiVec,
but MorphOS 1.4.5 kernel doesn't have AltiVec turned on, so routines can't
be used yet (but they are there, tested and waiting for a new kernel).
Update: (18:18, 09.01.06, snx)
The complete packet is now released, Reggae B.
Beside the actual classes is the fir.filter included and also a second new
class named winicon.demuxer to load Windows Icons. (snx) (Translation: aj)
