File systems: updates of NTFS and Ext2 drivers
Marek Szyprowski released updates to his file system handlers for the New Technology Filesystem (NTFS) and the Second Extended Filesystem (Ext2) for AmigaOS 3.x and MorphOS.
Please read the disclaimers in the readme files - you use these beta versions on your own risk.
New in NTFS driver v0.4:
- updated to latest Ext2FS filesystem skeleton - this adds support for removable
media, handler inhibit and shutdown
- added unicode to local charset translation (read more below)
- minor bug fixes
New in Ext2 driver v0.20:
- added support for software write-protection (ACTION_WRITE_PROTECT packet)
- made cache buffers flush asynchronous - this makes all write operations a
lot faster
- fixed problem with incompatible volume names (like these containing characters
'/' and ':')
- the driver now is able to format disk and create all EXT2 filesystem structures
(ACTION_FORMAT packet)
- by default the filesystem is case insensitive, but you can change this by setting
the control field in the mountlist to "CASESENSITIVE"
Download:
ext2fs_0.20.lha (92 KB)
ntfs_0.5.lha (66 KB)
Update: (08:30, 31.10.05, snx)
Meanwhile the NTFS driver has been updated to version 0.5. The updates fixes a bug which caused crashes during startup on some systems. (snx) (Translation: wk)

Problems when using the alternative mpega.library clone
Lorence Lombardo is pointing out a problem of release 7 of the alternative mpega.library clone (mpega_libmad.lha).
The clone library is returning false-positive validity for files which are no MPEG audio files more often than the original one (mpega_library.lha). This is causing programs such as playOGG and mpega to fail. (snx)

AmigaOne: Driver for the AC97 onboard sound
Davy Wentzler acquaints, he build a working AC-97 driver for the onboard sound of he AmigaOne board with the help of Stephen Brookes.
Mainboards from recent production runs are not equiped with the Sigmatel chip, which resides left to the AGP slot, any more.
The first version of that driver is very basic and offers only replay and a CD in monitor, there is no volume setting or other functions yet, but should be added later on.
If you have an AC97 chip and are going to use the driver, the author would welcome a PayPal donation of 5 Euro.

Book: "Version Control with Subversion - For Subversion 1.1"
Version control systems like CVS and Subversion are used in software development in particular.
They support multiple developers working on a project at the same time, and every state of a project, that was previously saved, can be restored at any time, for example, when a new idea has turned out to be the wrong way, and then you would rather pick up from where you were a week ago.
In his journal entry, Sven Drieling describes his first experiences with Subversion, states possible applications for a version control system, and gives an account of his impressions from the online book Version Control with Subversion -For Subversion 1.1.
Subversion exists for the Amiga and for MorphOS, too. (cg) (Translation: cad)

AmigaOS 4: Warp3D picture viewer WarpView
The picture viewer WarpView uses Warp3D (and with it, the 3D hardware of your computer) for displaying pictures. The advantage lies in very fast and high-quality scalings (screenshot) that are thus possible, however, the program requires more Video-RAM than conventional picture viewers. Datatypes are used for loading the pictures. Voodoo graphics cards are not supported yet. (cg) (Translation: cad)

Development environment: Cubic IDE available (formerly known as GoldED Studio)
As announced was GoldED Studio with the new version renamed to Cubic IDE (Integrated Development Environment). Officially supports the development enviroment by Dietmar Eilert AmigaOS 3.x and MorphOS 1.4.x.
Below's an translation of the official German press release about Cubic IDE:
Cubic IDE is an development environment for AmigaOS and MorphOS.
ABOUT CUBIC IDE
The main part of Cubic
IDE is the editor GoldED 8. Next to this the package contains several free C/C++ compilers like GCC, the HTML environment Webworld, a
LISP interpreter, the spell checking software Joyce, Roget's Thesaurus, authors modes for Rexx macros and installations and further parts. Cubic IDE
supports developers from the writing of the source codes and the documentation (AmigaGuide and AutoDoc modes) to the creation of installations with the installation wizard that is part of the package. Cubic IDE integrates seamless into SAS/C, vbcc,
GCC and the StormC3 development environment:
- Debuggersupport for users of StormC3: breakpoints are shown next to the text
- a configurable reference system for autoDocs, includes, source codes and other material helps you to find information in a quick way
- the QuickInfo function shows always information for the word under the cursor (e.g. prototypes of the OS functions)
- the QuickFunc navigation shows all functions, structures etc. that are definde in the source code
- inbuilt grep support allows you to search for (and replace) patterns in a list of files
CUBIC IDE REPLACES GOLDED STUDIO AIX
The software's name until now was GoldED Studio AIX and the internal name
was GoldED 7 (upgrades for GoldED AIX users are available on the Cubic IDE website, log in). The new name was chosen to better reflect the content. The first new version number is 1.0, a compromise between an editor on the level of 8.0 and an IDE on the level of 0.4 :) And here's the new logo.
CUBIC IDE KAUFEN
The list price is 69.90 EUR. During the first week there's an introducting price of 49.90 EUR. The software can be bought in the Cubic IDE Webshop.

SUPPORTED PLATFORMS:

Linux: REBOL-Update
Carl Sassenrath`s independent platform script language
REBOL has been updated for Linux/PPC.
The Genesi-PPC-Build of REBOL/Core was updated. Besides this the support
of REBOL/View was added for this system which is the graphical version of REBOL.
Furthermore the new REBOL Virtual Machine ("rebcode") is supported which will be
finished soon. According to Carl Sassenrath with VM you can get a ten to twenty
times faster performance for special kinds of mathematic and graphical applications.
Meanwhile Genesi continues its T-Shirt offer for beta testers.

AmigaOS 4: Shared compiling via several computers
Steven Solie has ported the distcc-packet
(client & server) in version 2.18.3-1 as well as the parallel working possibilities
of GNU make in version 3.81b3-1
for AmigaOS 4.
Thus owners of several computers which work with AmigaOS 4 and which have the
OS4-SDK installed can share the compiling processes on these ones.
Because of still missing functions of the operating system as well as clib2-ts limitations
this ports still are beta versions. A completely working version can be not expected until
there will be updates for AmigaOS 4 and clib2.

Website: Commodore Amiga Information Source closes
Patrick Klöter writes:
"Dear Amiga Friends,
In the last weeks and months, I have been getting around to updating my Amiga web page less and less. Therefore, I have the following announcement to make: The articles from Commodore Amiga Information Source will migrate to the Amiga Future web page in the following weeks.
Whether into the article database or somewhere else, remains to be seen. Andreas and I will try to haul as many articles as possible from my website.
In return, my page will go offline soon. The guestbook, my forum and the ML will also be affected by this. Therefore, I am already referring to the forum of AMIGA Future or the forum of Amiga-News.
This move does not come easy to me, but I am pleased that the content is preserved through Amiga Future.
On this path, I'd like to thank all Commodore and Amiga friends, who have visited this website regularly and provided me with praise and criticism in the 4 1/2 years.
Sincerely yours,

ValiantVision: Support for the TV card chipset saa713x
Guido Mersman has been working on "ValiantVision," the successor to AmithlonTV, the TV card driver software, for some time. As he discloses in his developer journal, a driver for the Philips saa713x chipset has reached beta status in the meantime.
This very widespread chipset offers better picture quality than the bt8x8, supported by AmithlonTV/ValiantVision until now, and supports two picture channels. Thus, it will be possible to display a freely scalable (preview) picture, while in the background, the picture is displayed in full size through the second channel. (cg) (Translation: cad)

MorphOS: Port of the game "UHexen2 - Hammer of Thyrion"
Michal 'kiero' Wozniak has adapted the game "UHexen2 - Hammer of Thyrion" by Ozkan Sezer
and Steve Atkinson in a extended way for MorphOS
(screenshot 1, 2).
A graphic card with 3D-drivers as well as the tinygl.library and the
powersdl.library are required.
For the installation you need two files of the original game: pak0.pak and pak1.pak;
you have to copy those ones to the directory data1. Then you can start the
update-script.
If you also want to enjoy the colored lighting you need the Colored Lighting-files.
The .lit-files which the archive contains belong to the directory data1/maps.

Today the alpha version 0.8 of the PPC native tcp/ip stack ezTCP from Pavel 'Sonic' Fedin is available for testing under the title link. It doesn't contain the known bugs. At next the author wants to implement the dhcp support.
As a new feature ezTCP would support the full fuctional support of the BSD socket API of version 4. With the implementation of socket events even AmiNetRadio would work correctly, as an example. Moreover the syslogger would loose no more messages now.
If you encounter problems with your programs in combination with ezTCP, please inform the author or consult the Thread in the MorphZone.

Psyria has signed a record contract at the label 3H Music Productions for a first album release this summer. The exact date of publication is the 10.17.2005
Further Informations will follow this week at the homepages of Psyria and 3H Music.

Press release: Cloanto Releases Amiga Forever 2005
Cloanto's official press release about the shipping of Amiga Forever 2005 (amiga-news.de reported):
Cloanto Releases Amiga Forever 2005
October 7, 2005 - Cloanto released today Amiga Forever 2005,
the official Amiga emulation, OS, connectivity, history and
support suite, now featuring 20 GB of software, data and videos
to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Amiga computer.
Amiga Forever 2005 is available in three editions:
- Online Edition (downloadable installer for Windows systems, $29.95)
- Plus Edition (downloadable CD ISO image with Windows and platform-neutral additional content, $39.95)
- Premium Edition (a physical package containing the Plus Edition CD, two DVDs and an Amiga "Boing" epoxy dome decal, combined with an instant download of the installer for Windows, $59.95)
Previous versions of Amiga Forever included more limited
multimedia content on a single CD. After almost two years of
work, the new Premium Edition version features more than five
hours of "must-see" videos on two professionally-authored
dual-layer DVDs.
All versions of Amiga Forever include Amiga OS 1.3 and 3.X
files that make it possible to run "Classic" Amiga software
(including thousands of legally-downloadable games, demos and
other Amiga applications) on any PC, with special support for
the Windows platform, but also compatible with Mac OS X and
GNU/Linux systems.
On the software side, the new version makes use of XML-based
technology to more easily download, install and run
Amiga games and demos, more of which are now also included
in the package itself. Amiga Forever 2005 introduces
several changes that will make the transition to Windows Vista
as smooth as possible (and it already runs fine on the latest
beta, too), especially if the Amiga emulation and OS are hosted
in an environment that does not have administrator privileges.
But Amiga Forever is not just about games and videos:
professional users will for example appreciate the improved
SCSI-passthrough functionality and drivers, a feature that is
missing even in high-end "virtual systems", and that aims to
assist in the recovery of old data that may otherwise have
been considered lost.
Last but not least, the Premium Edition features the new
"Boing" decals, which Cloanto originally introduced with the
launch of Amiga Forever 1.0 in 1997. The new epoxy dome decals
are printed in three colors on brushed metal, and, by popular
demand, will from now on be included in every package.
At the same time, the Amiga Forever web site at
www.amigaforever.com just went live with over 200 new or updated pages. The site includes additional information about the different versions, including screenshots, technology
tutorials, links to game and demo download sites, and much more.
As always, the Amiga Forever Team at Cloanto would like to
thank the Amiga Community for its support over the past 20
years, which made everything possible, from the first steps
developing software for the Amiga, to this new version of Amiga
Forever.
