Individual Computers: Hardware and software upgrade for the C-One
Press release The C-One is unique with its architecture until today: The central components can re-configure each other while the machine is running. If you wanted to do this with a traditional computer, you would have to exchange PCI cards or even the processor while it is turned on. The process took a few seconds, reminding the user of the speed of computers of the 80's. Although the C-One always aimed at resembling computers of that decade, that kind of speed is not acceptable for a current machine. FPGA developer Tobias Gubener has re-written the startup-procedure of the C-One (comparable to the BIOS of a normal PC) from scratch to overcome this.

The new software is called "Newboot" and it is free to every C-One owner. It is not necessary to work on the C-One's hardware, as it is just a flash upgrade. Still, the performance of the new startup is stunning. Instead of the elderly 80's design, the C-One now welcomes you with a graphical menu and almost triple speed. While browsing through the menus, the FPGAs on the board are re-configured a number of times without the user even noticing. With Newboot, the C-One has made the final step to everyday-usability after a development time of five years.

With the FPGA Extender card that is available since yesterday, the C-One even overcomes the limitation of emulating only 8-bit systems. Tobias Gubener has ported Dennis van Weeren's Minimig as a first demonstration of the new capabilities: In addition to VIC-20, C64 and Amstrad CPC, the C-One can now run 32-bit systems like the Amiga. The FPGA capacity of the C-One is increased almost by a factor of five with the extender board! The technical data in short:
  • Cyclone 3 FPGA in 65 nanometer technology
  • 16 MByte RAM with up to 333 MByte per second data rate
  • Stereo delta-sigma audio converter
  • Two crystals for exact PAL and NTSC clocks
  • High-bandwidth interface to the C-One
  • Simple installation without soldering
  • Price: 99 EUR (*)
New C-One boards are sold with the extender-card pre-installed for 333 EUR (*). You can find more pictures and information on the website of the C-One.

(*) Recommended retail price including German sales tax of 19%. Prices at our retail partners may vary. For mail ordering, shipping may be added. (snx)

MorphOS: MPlayer 1.0-svn-2008.11.09
Fabien "Fab" Coeurjoly has published an update of his MorphOS-port of the media player MPlayer (screenshot). Changes in this version:
  • Updated to 09.11.2008 svn (r27902). To be noted it at least fixes some recently introduced issue with some mpeg4 files (googlevideo for instance).
  • More work on GUI module:
    • Option to resize window to original movie dimensions (or 50%/200%).
    • Record option to dump a netstream (only works for cached streams for now).
    • Directories can now be dropped to main window/playlists, or opened from menu.
    • Shuffle option in playlist.
    • Metadata title field is displayed in status string, if available
    • ICY information (shoutcast) displayed in status string, if available.
    • Some files would sometimes be skipped in playlist. Fixed.
    • Reworked a bit GUI show/hide behaviour.
    • GUI can now be started in fullscreen (-fs/fs=1)
    • Status string was refreshed more than necessary.
  • General fixes:
    • Increased a bit audio buffer length with ao_ahi driver.
    • There could be some "hickup at start" effect when playing a new file in playlist. Fixed.
    • Snapshot filenames are truncated (if necessary) to preserve indexes.

AmigaOS 4: Web-Browser OWB 2.15
Jörg Strohmayer has published a new version of his port of the Origyn Web Browser (screenshot). The Cairo-library has been linked with the program. That means OWB 2.15 can be also used under AmigaOS 4.0 again. The changes in detail:
  • The CONFIRMQUIT tooltype was only checked for the quit menu but not for the close menu when the last window is closed, fixed (bugs.os4depot.net issue #44)
  • Using version 2.7.1 of libxml2 instead of 2.7.2 again, should fix some crashes
  • Built the current versions of libcairo and libpixman-1 as static link libraries, with the static libraries OWB works on AmigaOS 4.0 again.
  • OWB 2.15 is linked with static libraries. Might fix the startup crashes I never get on my systems, but could cause even more crashes since most of the static versions of the libraries I have are older than the shared versions and very likely have more bugs.

AmigaOS 4: Web-Browser OWB 2.14 / OWB Address Book 2.2
Jörg Strohmayer has published a new version of his port of the Origyn Web Browser. Please note that Cairo is required which currently is only available for AmigaOS 4.1.

The address book was also updated and is no longer part of the browser archive.

Changes in OWB 2.14:
  • Removed the AddressBook from the OWB archive, it's available on os4depot.net now (network/browser/owbaddressbook.lha)
  • Updated to SVN revision 641
  • Added support for openamiga.org extended default mouse pointers http://openamiga.org/?function=viewproject&projectid=35 (bugs.os4depot.net issue #40) and moved the included pointers to Resources/Storage, except for contextMenuCursor which is missing in the openamiga.org project. If you want to use the included pointers instead of the openamiga.org ones, or own pointers, you have to put them into the Resources directory
  • Fixed a bug in the AutoInstall script
  • Built current versions of libxml2 and libxslt
  • If the CONFIRMQUIT tooltype is enabled it displays a requester when using the quit menu as well now (bugs.os4depot.net issue #44)
  • Added GETURL ARexx command
  • If there is a 2nd %s in the BOOKMARKCOMMAND it's replaced by the pubscreen name of the screen on which the OWB window is now
