MorphOS: Alpha version 0.8 of ezTCP published
Today the alpha version 0.8 of the PPC native tcp/ip stack ezTCP from Pavel 'Sonic' Fedin is available for testing under the title link. It doesn't contain the known bugs. At next the author wants to implement the dhcp support.
As a new feature ezTCP would support the full fuctional support of the BSD socket API of version 4. With the implementation of socket events even AmiNetRadio would work correctly, as an example. Moreover the syslogger would loose no more messages now.
If you encounter problems with your programs in combination with ezTCP, please inform the author or consult the Thread in the MorphZone.

Music: Psyria publishes first regular album
Dennis "Psyria" Lohr writes:
"Since the last official release at the Psyria homepage a little time has passed. After a little longer break Psyria is back again. And perhaps a bit different as others would have expected.
During the artisitc break Psyria has tried to make new connections in the music business. His latest sent away demo cd has brought the long desired feedback...
Psyria has signed a record contract at the label 3H Music Productions for a first album release this summer. The exact date of publication is the 10.17.2005
Further Informations will follow this week at the homepages of Psyria and 3H Music.
At this moment I want to thank all my fans and and the ones who have believed in me and like my music. Furthermore a big thanks to the Amiga community for the support I have received from you through all the years!" (cg) (Translation: ts)

Press release: Cloanto Releases Amiga Forever 2005
Cloanto's official press release about the shipping of Amiga Forever 2005 (amiga-news.de reported):
Cloanto Releases Amiga Forever 2005
October 7, 2005 - Cloanto released today Amiga Forever 2005,
the official Amiga emulation, OS, connectivity, history and
support suite, now featuring 20 GB of software, data and videos
to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Amiga computer.
Amiga Forever 2005 is available in three editions:
- Online Edition (downloadable installer for Windows systems, $29.95)
- Plus Edition (downloadable CD ISO image with Windows and platform-neutral additional content, $39.95)
- Premium Edition (a physical package containing the Plus Edition CD, two DVDs and an Amiga "Boing" epoxy dome decal, combined with an instant download of the installer for Windows, $59.95)
Previous versions of Amiga Forever included more limited
multimedia content on a single CD. After almost two years of
work, the new Premium Edition version features more than five
hours of "must-see" videos on two professionally-authored
dual-layer DVDs.
All versions of Amiga Forever include Amiga OS 1.3 and 3.X
files that make it possible to run "Classic" Amiga software
(including thousands of legally-downloadable games, demos and
other Amiga applications) on any PC, with special support for
the Windows platform, but also compatible with Mac OS X and
GNU/Linux systems.
On the software side, the new version makes use of XML-based
technology to more easily download, install and run
Amiga games and demos, more of which are now also included
in the package itself. Amiga Forever 2005 introduces
several changes that will make the transition to Windows Vista
as smooth as possible (and it already runs fine on the latest
beta, too), especially if the Amiga emulation and OS are hosted
in an environment that does not have administrator privileges.
But Amiga Forever is not just about games and videos:
professional users will for example appreciate the improved
SCSI-passthrough functionality and drivers, a feature that is
missing even in high-end "virtual systems", and that aims to
assist in the recovery of old data that may otherwise have
been considered lost.
Last but not least, the Premium Edition features the new
"Boing" decals, which Cloanto originally introduced with the
launch of Amiga Forever 1.0 in 1997. The new epoxy dome decals
are printed in three colors on brushed metal, and, by popular
demand, will from now on be included in every package.
At the same time, the Amiga Forever web site at
www.amigaforever.com just went live with over 200 new or updated pages. The site includes additional information about the different versions, including screenshots, technology
tutorials, links to game and demo download sites, and much more.
As always, the Amiga Forever Team at Cloanto would like to
thank the Amiga Community for its support over the past 20
years, which made everything possible, from the first steps
developing software for the Amiga, to this new version of Amiga
Forever.

Windows development suite with Amiga/68k crosscompiler
AmiDevCpp is based on the free development suite Dev-C++, but the
generic compiler has been replaced with an AmigaOS crosscompiler.
Thus, it becomes possible to develop and compile programs
for the Amiga (m68k) while using the Windows environemt.
The integrated development suite offers a decent and mighty work tool
(screen shot).
With the packet system even beginners are able to install
new includes and libraries.
Most packets also include examples which work instantly, even
programmer newbies can make their first Amiga program without
typing a single line of source code.
The development suite comes with a windows typical
installer,which is multi lingual and includes a deinstaller, too.
Bug reports, critics and suggesions are most welcome if placed
at the programmer
board by amiga-news.de.
