Strategy game: Tales of Tamar homepage in new design
Press release Dear friends of the roleplay game, dear players, friends and supporter of Tales of Tamar,
640 years of history are mighty. 640 years of adventures, explorations,
fights, 640 years of love, death and betrayal, 640 years of heros,
villains, dragons and virgins...
The world of Tales of Tamar starts in the 640th year. That is worth enough to give it a new design and to be ripe for the future...
We are glad and proud to present a reworked homepage of Tales of Tamar which has a completely reworked design, new graphics, clearer impression and some "hidden" surprise like completely new wallpapers.
Enjoy the new designed forum, more lively then ever before...
As eMail game with one round per day we give you the possibility to lead an empire although you have only few minutes a day.
Visit www.tamar.net, be part of the future of the chronicles of Tamar and create the future of a whole world - so in hundred years the world will tell stories of you.
For our Amiga friends: We tried to make compatible our site with the current Amiga browsers. Unfortunataly this will become more and more difficult. If you find special bugs we would be glad if you send a mail with a screenshot or a detailed description to Wolfen@tamar.net. We will try to support the Amiga commuity in future as well.
greetings,
your ToT-team
www.tamar.net

Amiga clone: Minimig source code published
Dennis van Weeren has published the source codes and all descriptions of his FPGA-based Amiga 500 clone Minimig under the GNU Public License (GPL). Van Weeren will keep on developing Minimig but he hopes that there will be more support by the publication. E.g. for debugging of the sprite engine or for the implementation of harddrive or ethernet support.

Spectrum emulator ASp 0.89b
ASp emulates Sinclair's ZX Spectrum on the Amiga. ASp is RTG-compatible and also works under AmigaOS 4. Changes in version 0.89b:
- Problems fixed when Asp was used as default tool for snapshot pictograms
- No GUI-problems if the audio ressources can not be correctly allocated
- All "workarounds" fixed for bugs in OS4-JIT. ASp 0.89b now requires the latest version of OS4.
The archive with version 0.89b only contains the emulator and requires a correctly installed ASp 0.89.

AmigaOS 4.0 July 2007 Update Available
Press release:
Leuven, Belgium - 18. July, 2007
Hyperion Entertainment VOF is pleased to announce the immediate availability for download for registered customers of another service update of Amiga OS 4.0 which addresses some outstanding issues and introduces substantial new functionality.
The new functionality includes:
- A new ExecSG kernel. The new kernel includes, among other things:
- Support for guard-page protected stacks. Stacks will have guard pages at their bottom to prevent programs to write over innocent memory
- A new semaphore-type called Mutex that is Forbid-Free.
- Support for the new pthreads-module
- A new library that supports most of the POSIX thread (pthreads) API
A new ELF library that implements UN*X-type shared objects and dynamic linking. Shared objects are files that are loaded during runtime of a program and become part of the program's memory image. They have access to symbols and procedures of the main program as well as any other shared object loaded.
- Amiga Python 2.5.1 is a brand-new port of the Python language interpreter. This port is implemented as a shared object, so other programs can easily interface with it. See the Python Homepage.
- The latest version of the Sirion USB stack
- Numerous bug fixes. Please consult the included documentation for more details.
We once again wish to take this opportunity to reassure our customers that development of Amiga OS 4.x continues apace on a number of platforms.

Amiga Future: web site updated, new sections added
Press release: The Amiga Future homepage has got a comprehensive update the last few days:
The article database has been technically updated. The number of pages will not be displayed one below the other but next to the other. So there's no need for scrolling.
The font size has been fixed aswell. Furthermore the search engine works properly in the article database again.
Using the article database you can read about roughly 1500 articles on the Amiga Future homepage.
A new links database has been installed. All links from the old database have been transferred to the new one. Many thanks at this point to Robin who has realized the old database.
Now we want to expand the new database further. Have we chosen suitable section names? Are there any missing sections? Missing links? Then please write us.
Also newly installed is the calendar on the Amiga Future homepage.
Here you can find all important appointments of the Amiga scene worldwide.
Registered users are able to add their own dates and appointments to the calendar database just like adding articles to the article database.
We hope that you like the new expansions of the Amiga Future page and that you'll contribute to them. Besides that we will have a new FAQ and lexicon the next days.
At this point many thanks go to Trima and Marco for their support.
