AROS: Gallium3D bounty completed
The Gallium3D bounty project by Krzysztof 'deadwood' Smiechowicz has been completed and can be found in the Nightly Builds. The author would like to thank everyone who donated to this bounty as well as members of AROS community who helped him with testing the drivers on their systems.

The project which was started almost one year ago provided the following components:
  • Mesa.library - the latest version of Mesa3D library which implements OpenGL API
  • Gallium.library - a client library allowing other modules to access 3D rendering capabilities. This can be used by clients like OpenGL, OpenVG or OpenCL (in future)
  • Software 3D driver - rendering emulation using CPU. Works on any system where hardware 3D is not available
  • Hardware 3D rendering for nvidia cards - supporting GeForce 5XXX cards and newer provides hardware rendering capabilities
  • As as additional bonus, the bounty brough a new 2D accelerated driver for the complete GeForce family as well as AGP support for some mother board chipsets

Wget 1.12 Rev. 2
Wget is a free command line program of the GNU-projects for downloading files from the Internet. Diego Casorran has ported updated versions for AmigaOS 3.x and AmigaOS 4.

Changes:
  • src/connect.c: Fixed connect_to_ip() function to report correct message on failed connections.
  • src/utils.c: Changed the following functions to do things on an amiga-only way using dos.library equivalents: suffix(), determine_screen_width(), xsleep(), make_directory(), file_exists_p()
  • src/host.c: Reworked gethostbyname_with_timeout() to directly handle our TCP/IP Stack's gethostbyname() disabling C linklib SIGINT signal in the meanwhile and using Exec's way
  • src/openssl.c: Changed close() by CloseSocket()
  • src/log.c: avoid fclose() over stderr
  • OS3 Build Compiled using OpenSSL 1.0.0a (Rev#2)
  • Fixed CTRL+C handling under OS4 - Thanks to Corto for the fix!

OpenSSL 1.0.0a Rev#2
The OpenSSL Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust, commercial-grade, full-featured, and Open Source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols as well as a full-strength general purpose cryptography library.

The AmigaOS-port is completely native, the ixemul.library is not required. Developer documenations are part of the distribution. The latest version "Rev#2" includes some minor improvements:
  • Compiled using GCC 3.4.0 for better speed (please report any issue, i didn't trust so much this compiler)
  • Optimized bzero/bcopy/memmove/memcpy functions to achieve a somewhat faster speed. (libnix)
  • Implemented alarm() to perform the tests, we'll no longer have to wait those long times
  • Time spent on speed tests are now calculated using ReadEClock()
  • OPENSSL_assert() will now open a ReAction/Intuition requester (usefull for WB-only progs)
  • Enabled MD2 and RC5 which was disabled by default..
  • Added 68040 build (user and dev)
  • Added new set of root certificates
  • Included Installation script
