Dietmar Planitzer (Mail)


Operating system for Amiga 3000/4000: First alpha version of "Serena OS"
At the end of 2022, we reported on the start of Dietmar Planitzer's project to write "Apollo", an experimental operating system for the Amiga 3000/4000. After another status update at the end of last year, the developer has now renamed his project "Serena OS" and released a first alpha version, about which he kindly wrote us the following:

"Let's start with the most obvious change: Apollo is now called Serena OS.

A few other things have changed over the last few months. Serena now has an API which makes it possible to write (simple) programmes. Dispatch queues, files, directories, pipes as well as clock and timer functions are currently supported. In addition, there is an advanced C standard library (libc) and the beginnings of a C maths library (libm). There is now also a simple shell and a RAM-based file system. The VT52 and VT100 terminal emulation is now also largely complete and the VT52 emulation now also supports the Atari ST extensions. Both VT100 and VT52 emulation now also support multiple colours (in VT52 emulation mode the corresponding Atari ST ESC codes must be used).

At the moment, however, the system still has a very significant limitation: neither floppy disc nor hard disc is currently supported. However, achieving this is the plan for the next stage of the project. It will then be possible to create a programme for Serena on a Windows or Linux computer and then run it on the Amiga under Serena.

I suspect that some of you are wondering what these ominous dispatch queues are?

Dispatch queues are used to run programme parts in parallel. The original Amiga OS provided tasks for this purpose and other operating systems provide threads. Apple's macOS implements dispatch queues on the basis of traditional threads.

The problem with threads and tasks is that programs allocate them, then use them intermittently, then spend most of their time just sitting passively on the thing without actually using it (threads spend a lot of time sleeping). However, a thread always uses memory and kernel resources - whether it's sleeping or actually doing work makes no difference.

Serena is instead built entirely around dispatch queues: Processes manage dispatch queues and dispatch queues do their work with the help of "virtual processors". You can think of a virtual processor as a highly dynamic thread that is not tied to a specific process. Virtual processors are moved back and forth between dispatch queues and processes as required. If a dispatch queue needs to do more work, it gets an additional virtual processor. However, if it does less work, it gives up a virtual processor, which can then be used by another queue in another process." (dr)

Amiga E Compiler: E-VO 3.7.0
E-VO Amiga E Compiler is a derivative of the original Amiga E compiler written by Wouter van Oortmerssen. It adds many new features, bug fixes and optimisations including object UNIONs, string merging, non word-aligned objects and many more (amiga-news.de reported).

Darren 'dmcoles' Coles has now released version 3.7.0. Changes:
  • Compiler sometimes produced garbage error message with an error at the very end of the file.
  • Reformatted the Amigaguide document to better fit in 80 columns.
  • added Arexx compile scripts
  • allow creating a new object directly into an object member, eg. self.a:=NEW self.a.method()
  • method table was not correctly initialised for objects declared as eg. DEF a:b OR DEF a[5]:ARRAY OF b
  • heap in compiler is allocated with MEMF_CLEAR in compiler to ensure all data in the exe is initialised to 0 and not contain random data from memory
  • calling a method on an array element of an object did did not calculate the correct address for the method.
  • compiler was creating 020 opcodes when accessing an array of objects
  • added NIL pointer checks when calling methods on array of objects
  • self variable was set incorrectly for methods declared with an exception handler
  • fix issue with wrong opcode being generated in this code DEF a DEF b:PTR TO LONG a:=[0,b[0]:=5] resulting in the value not being stored correctly
  • include textfield module
  • fix bug in reaction_lib with the freeClickTabs, freeChooserLabels and freeRadioButtons functions not looping through the list correctly.
  • add support for long branch 020 instruction.
  • fix invalid memory access when casting the result of a procedure call to an object
  • fix inconsistencies with SIZEOF command
  • fix error in branching code for the == operator
  • add missing listview module
  • add some extra functions in reaction_lib (openClass, openLibs, closeLibs, libDoGadgetMethodA)
  • added PSIZEOF operator
  • added ARRAYSIZE operator
  • added SelectFirst function
  • added debug symbols for methods
  • allow CONT and EXIT within SELECT statement
  • updated Rnd() function to be pure
  • flagged openw, opwns, boolgad, settopaz, sets, gets functions as not pure
  • added WARN TRUE/FALSE to enable/disable warnings
  • added Rol() and Ror() functions
  • the 020 variant of Mod() was not correctly used by the compiler and was also taking the parameters the wrong way around
  • added 020 variant of ListItem function
  • track line numbers for warnings
  • NOREGS option was not correctly parsed on methods
  • taking a reference to a method {obj.method} did not return the correct address
  • 1.3 startup code now updates stack pointers to allow stack space functions to return the correct values.
  • skip NameFromFH call on kick 1.3 meaning the compiler now works on that OS again
  • NOT operator was very broken (inconsistently applied and in some cases not applied at all)
  • Added EVO_3_7_0 define
  • casting and PTR TO PTR handling is improved and should now work in all use cases.

Amiga Kit: ARM Graphics library for A600GS computer
Press release: AmigaKit Ltd is pleased to announce an important software development for the forthcoming A600GS computer system (amiga-news.de reported). The new ARM Graphics Library is pre-installed accelerating the performance of AmiBench and 68K applications.

The ARMgraphics.library was created by AmigaKit's in- house developer to bypass the bottleneck of the 68K graphics functions. It accelerates graphics rendering performance in applications.

AmiBench is pre-installed on the A600GS computer system. It opens the desktop environment in high resolution 1080p with True Colour icons. Now it can use the new ARM Graphics Library for various purposes including faster rendering of windows, icons and backgrounds.

Third party developers can take advantage of this library by using it's powerful functions from their 68K application. It also offers an opportunity for 68K games developers to enhance their games with faster graphics rendering.

The library provides a link between 68K programs and the native ARM processor. Further work is underway to patch 68K system graphics functions so older applications that are not written to use the ARM Graphics Library can benefit.

AmigaKit has developed AK-Datatypes, Picture Datatype and Datatypes Library over the many years for the Enhancer Software on X5000, X1000 and A1222+. These have been compiled for 68K to run on the A600GS, In addition these system components can also be accelerated by the ARM Graphics Library for extra performance.

The A600GS computer system is due for launch in the second quarter of 2024. (dr)

Cross development: amitools 0.8.0 for macOS
Christian Vogelgsang has published amitools, a collection of Python 3 tools that should make it possible to work with Amiga OS binaries and files on macOS and all other *nix-like platforms that support Python. The author has not tested it on Windows, but it should work just as well.

The developer focusses his tools on classic Amiga setups, i.e. a 680x0-based system running Amiga OS 1.x - 3.x. However, as this is an open project, other Amiga configurations can also be supported. However, as this is an open project, other Amiga configurations can also be supported. The tools are mostly developer orientated, so a background in Amiga programming will be very helpful. A documentation is available on GitHub.

Now the new version 0.8.0 is available. (dr)
