Guillaume Boesel has released updates of some of his programms:
FastView 1.2
FastView is a MUI-based picture viewer which shows the content of a directory as thumbnails. In version 1.2 pictures can be shown via double-click in its real size or via single-click in screen size. With the spacebar you can choose your favourite view. Additionally there are more translations and some minor bugs have been fixed.
SysMon 3.2
SysMon is a little, MUI-based system monitor (NList.mcc wird benötigt). In version 3.2 the benchmark "SDLbench" has been added. Additionally for the memory test RageMem, some comparison values for different computer configurations have been added.
FastCompress 1.8
FastCompress is a collection of four tools which help you to archive directories or files to the formats LhA, ZIP, LZX or 7z.
NetDock 50.6
Netdock is a "Docky" which shows the network activity. In version 50.6 with tooltype you can avoid to show the used interface. Additionally a bug of the AmiUpdate-support was fixed.

AmigaOS 4: OSDLauncher 0.3.6
OSDLauncher simulates the multimedia-On-Screen-Displays. Instead of controlling multimedia functions like "louder", "quiter" or "break" with global hotkeys, with these shortcuts OSDLauncher is started first.
The programm then shows the current state (volume, start/stop, eject etc.) and transfers the command via ARexx to the multimedia application (screenshot, video).
OSDLauncher requires AllKey, Mixer, Eject.Os4, MUI_Calc, das PNG-IconModule, AmigaAmp 3.8 and WBRun 53.4. The author explained the installation in the Readme-file and pointed out that this is still a beta version.
Changes in version 0.3.6:
- Added ARexx engine to OSDLauncher
- Added tooltypes: nosound; nobootsound; timeoutsingleaction; timeoutsoundaction; stacksize; fadetimesingleaction; fadetimesoundaction
- Fixed a small window that appeared on the image, thanks to Crisot for fixing this
- Added a new script to protect the API during work
- Added options lock and unlock to protect the API on sound volume
- Added options:
- amigaampnotpresent
- amigaampispresent
- calculatornotpresent
- calculatorispresent
- homenotpresent
- homeispresent
- mailnotpresent
- mailispresent
- filemanagernotpresent
- filemanagerispresent
- blankernotpresent
- blankerispresent
- Add functions for AMIGAAMP => aamp-backward; aamp-stop; aamp-forward
- Fixed problems with internal synchronisation
- Supported keys: "start-filemanager", "blanker-matrix"
- Added scripts filemanager.arexx and matrixblanker.arexx
- Added ARexx script for playing after AmigaAMP stops (internal code of OSDLauncher)
- Fixed playing after AmigaAMP stops with all other options for AmigaAMP
- Added internal screensaver engine with ARexx port for OSDLauncher [the first screensaver is Matrix (original code by Tixlegeek) and the second is flipclock (original code by Ciro Ippolito)] based on sdl.library with all my optimisations and a bonus for integration with OSDLauncher engine

Emulator: WinUAE 2.6.0
Today version 2.6.0 of the well-known Amiga emulator WinUAE has been released. Among others, now the MMUs of the 68030, 68040 and 68060 are completely emulated. With it, Amix, Linux, NetBSD, Enforcer and WHDLoad do work with MMU-option without any limitations.
New features:
- SCSI and ATAPI (IDE) CD drive emulation
- Full 68030, 68040 and 68060 MMU emulation. Amix, Linux, NetBSD, Enforcer, WHDLoad MMU option and more fully working
- Built-in full CHD CD and HD image support. HD image support is read-only

- A2065 network adapter compatibility improved (early NetBSD versions)
- Multithreaded IDE and SCSI emulation, slow read or write operations won't temporarily pause the emulation anymore
- When CPU double faults, emulated CPU is halted instead of forcing instant emulated hardware reset

- Max supported resolution increased to 8192*8192 (NV Surround/AMD Eyefinity)
- CD32 CD detection works again in JIT mode

Fixed bugs:
- If display mode switched from RTG to native (or vice versa) and WinUAE window had no focus: emulation incorrectly started receiving keyboard input
- 1.5M chip ram option didn't work
- GamePorts panel Swap Ports button cleared custom mappings
- 68060 + more compatible checked was unreliable
- 68040/68060 no FPU/FPU disabled exception stack frame fixed
