Software-News until 21.12.2009
Text viewer: EvenMore 0.69
EvenMore is a textviewer written in AmigaE and by Chris Perver. Changes since the last version:
- Modified exec list sorting to receive a list length variable, so it doesn't need to be counted first. Also modified Dir2Text plugin to accept this
- Was freeing information bar pattern data by mistake when launching an external program
- Pär Boberg has updated his Swedish catalog file following the changes made to the preferences
- Added two new escape code sequences. ESC[52m will set the displayed font in EvenMore to the user selected font, while ESC[53m will set the displayed font to the default system font. This will allow plugins such as the Generic2Text plugin to switch to a uniform system font when viewing hexadecimal files.
- Updated Generic2Text plugin to use the system font when viewing hexadecimal files
MorphOS: Drawerball 0.8q
Tom 'Amigaharry' Duin has published Drawerball 0.8q which is a very early version of a simple file manager.
AmigaOS 4: Modula 2-development environment AgletM2PPC
AgletM2PPC is a complete Modula 2-development environment inclusive compiler. Only a text editor is required (GoldEd, CygnusEd and TurboText are supported). Changes since the last release:
Compiler:
- The compiler itself is now PPC native, and is
significantly faster!
- The size limit on procedures is now probably large enough
for any sane program
- A bug which caused extremely excessive stack use was fixed.
Now 40 or 50K should be enough for almost any compile
- Some code generation errors were fixed
- Fixed problem with Opaque pointers resolved within the
IMPLEMENTATION module by imported pointer types
- Added compiler warning: OpenArrayCopyWarn
- SDK 53.8+ now using the GNU assembler v2.18 vs. 2.14
in earlier SDKs. This required that some instructions be
output slightly differently
- Certain "recording" versions of FP instructions are no
longer generated, since Sam 440ep/flex does not support
them
(Pre)Linker
- Mod2Lnk recognizes a "-stack" switch and inserts the
"$STACK:xxxx" cookie into executables.
The .asm files no longer need be kept around. All dependency
information is in the object file now. Asm files are written
to T:
- Added the "-g" debug switch, which causes both exported and
non-exported symbols to be put into the Elf symbol table so
that SymbolsRTS can find them as well
M2IDE
- Option "Make Icons?" added for the project file save
- Fixed problem of GR on exit if M2IDE changed its current
directory
- Multiselect now supported for the "Misc Files" file
requester
Amiga Modules
- Added Definition files for about 25 more Amiga Libraries,
and all supplied Amiga definition files (over 150 of them) were
brought up to the v53.13 SDK
- The TextEditor gadget is now working much better, as the
Definition file now adjusts to a glitch in the SDK's .h
file
Aglet Modules
- System module SymbolsRTS was introduced for better debugging
of exception locations
- CLI program arguments and Workbench ToolTypes are
transparently (almost) unified when the ArgsSupport module
is used to read startup arguments
- Many improvements in the (experimental) SimpleXXX modules
(SimpleGUI, SimpleScreens, SimpleMenus, SimpleGraphics, etc)
- new modules: BigInt, for 155 bit integers; IconSupport, for
writing out icons
Filesharing: Testing Amigift 2.0 for free
Amigift is a P2P file sharing system based on the giFT-demon (Gnutella, FastTrack, OpenFT) ported from the Unix-system and which has a MUI-based graphical user-interface called "GiftMUI" (screenshot). The author now offers a key with which you can test all the features of the shareware program for a limited time for 30 minutes per session.

Software-News: Game Chips, Text editor Annotate 2.7, MPlayer-GUI 1.47
AmigaOS 4: Game Chips
Chips is logic game written by Ventzislav Tzvetkov where the player have to build a computer from the chips placed around the professor's laboratory. After for AmigaOS 3 there is now also a version for AmigaOS 4 with improved graphics and animationens. Additionally the game can be played in a window modus.
Text editor: Annotate 2.7
The open-source text editor Annotate is available for all Amiga systems. For the first time there is also a version for AROS. Further changes in version 2.7:
- Annotate can now be compiled for MUI instead of ReAction! The OS4 version uses ReAction since it looks better and has more features under OS4. All other targets are compiled for MUI but can be compiled for ReAction/ClassAct as well.
- AROS is now supported
- Added simple project support. This makes it possible to save and load a project file which will contain the current configuration of opened files and their editors/windows. Makes for a quick way of reopening all the files and windows you were working on yesterday, or before a crash
- Annotate's editors are now AppWindows which means that you can drop icons on them to open files
- Having a requester opening when Ann is started from Workbench is now optional
- Realtime update of colors in the editor when they are changed from the Config
- Added an expiration date to the "remembered lines"
- Fixed the auto-update function so that it will download the correct binary for your OS (Will of course only work the next time)
- Pasting an text that started with a linefeed at the end of a line didn't work correctly
- Possibly fixed some random garbage that could have been inserted when cut'n'pasting vertical blocks with empty lines in the middle
AmigaOS 4: MPlayer-GUI 1.47
MPlayer-GUI is a Reaction based graphical user-interface for the video player MPlayer. Changes in version 1.47:
- Made use of application.library which now also takes care of sending the filenames to an already opened MPlayer-GUI
- Found a cool feature in intuition. Have compositing enabled and you can't miss it ;-)

AmigaOS 4: Eighth update for arcade game BOH
Simone Bevilacqua has published the eighth update for his commercial arcade game BOH which fixes some minor bugs:
- fixes the handling of sparks colors (did not take into account the platform pixel format, so on some machines colors could look wrong)
- fixes the disappearance of enemies when hit (happened only in the MacOS version, due to a missing assignment)
- fixes a few errors in the Spanish translation
- makes some minor changes to the user's manual
BOH is available for AmigaOS 4, AROS, Linux, MacOS X and Windows. Currently you can buy the game for a special price for 10 ("box"-version) or 7.50 Euro (download version).
