TextEditor.mcc: version 15.10 released
After the saving of the source code and releasing the MUI custom class TextEditor.mcc under the open source licence LGPL it is now available for download in the first public version (15.10) on the project homepage of the Texteditor.mcc open source team.
Next to some long awaited error fixes in this class PPC native versions for AmigaOS4 and MorphOS were created that are included in the archive.
As it is the first public open source version and some assembler coded parts had to be ported to C the authors point out that there may occur problems especially when importing and exporting text.
In this case the authors ask you to to fill in a Bugtracker report with a description as it is standard with open source projects on sf.net.

MorphOS: Demo version of Pixel32 released
A demo version of the image/photo/animation painting/editing and retouching application Pixel32 has been released also for MorphOS (screenshot). The MorphOS version requires PowerSDL by Ilkka Lehtoranta.
This is an alpha demo version of Pixel32. It may still contain bugs, typos and even unfinished functions. Especially the PowerPC versions are quite new and may be not as stable and usable as the x86 versions. If you find any bug or Pixel32 crashes, please e-mail the .debuglog file from Pixel32 directory to the author with a small description what you were doing.
In the demo version there are two limitations: a visible watermark in images and a small annoying dialog box informing you about using only a demo version.

Programming: Modula-2 Compiler
Under the title link, Thomas Breeden provides a self-developed, non-optimizing compiler for the programming language Modula-2. The program is compiled for 68k processors and excludes the PPC CPU, however it was continuously used and further developed under AmigaOS 4.
A short test under WinUAE ran without problems. A PPC version is planned. (cg) (Translation: dm)

IOSPIRIT: Amiga pages moved, news from the web shop
IOSPIRIT's AMIGA pages, for already some time now, have moved to
amiga.iospirit.de. Since there were no other product pages until now, the company domain has redirected to this subdomain until now. With the release of the IOSPIRIT's Mac software "Picture Arena", the redirection has been changed to picturearena.com. The AMIGA pages will of course stay online. Regarding the company domain, a portal site is planned for the future, that will then also link to the AMIGA pages.
Further news:
The shop system has been reworked from ground up. Orders can now be
made much easier and faster - an accout is no longer required.
Furthermore IOSPIRIT GmbH now accepts American Express credit cards in
addition to Visa and Mastercard. The free bundling of drivers
introduced with the last promotion will be kept. The VHI RS232 and
IOUSB DigiCam driver packages will be bundled with VHI Studio, the
IOUSB Scanner Package will be bundled with fxSCAN respectively. They
come for free at no additional cost, but therefore without support and
functional guarantee.

MorphOS: native versions of MPEG de-/encoders for Wildfire7
"wf_mpeg2decode" and "wf_mpeg2encode" are the MorphOS versions of the free MPEG video loaders and savers that are part of the Wildfire7 distribution.
The two files have to be copied into the directory "system/tools/" in the Wildfire7 main directory. The already existing files have to be replaced with the new ones - the author recommends to create a backup of the old versions first in case problems with the new version should arise.
It cannot be guaranteed that the programs run on all systems, the modules have been tested on a Pegasos 1 G3@600mhz.
Saving of a test animation as MPEG file with the 68k mpegsaver needs 1 minute and 42 seconds (with JIT) while the PPC native version takes 16 seconds.
If there are any questions please contact Andreas Küssner via e-mail. Our thanks go to Oliver Hummel for compiling and doing various tests.
