MorphOS: Updates of three Reggae classes
Grzegorz "Krashan" Kraszewski has published three updates of his MorphOS libraries for stream media:
- Bugfix in audio.output and update to 51.5. Added missing stream seek to the start after playback is finished at stream end. Makes it consistent with MMM_Stop (which rewinds stream too).
- netpbm.demuxer 51.2 now fully supports NetPBM "P1" subformat (monochrome plain text images). Internal buffering speeds up decoding of ASCII data.
- bitplane decoder 51.2 has internal buffering added as well. These are two first Reggae classes written in C++.

Custom chips: Clone-A news
Press release:
The prototype of our Clone-A project - a re-implementation of the Amiga-chipset with modern technology - has been demostrated at the AmiWest show last weekend in Sacramento, California. Many visitors followed our request to bring along disks and programs that put the compatibility of our chipset to the test. None of the programs were a problem for Clone-A. We're especially proud that a previously unpublished demo works fine with Clone-A. According to the author, it does not work properly on the emulator UAE. Special thanks for this go to Christian Herden who brought the demo to the Amiwest show.
Sound-magician Chris Hülsbeck approved of the exact audio playback of Clone-A. Even complicated music routines like the 7-voice title track of Turrican II and the unconventionally programmed ingame-sounds of Apidya were convincing to the ears of the master.
from left to right: Oliver Achten, Jens Schönfeld, Chris Hülsbeck, Christian Herden
Many users have requested Clone-A to be a PCI card for the current PPC boards on the market. As part of the Efika developer program, we offered to develop Clone-A into a PCI card that works with Efika and other PPC boards by BPlan. Today, our offer has been rejected.
Genesi's rejection will have no influence on further development of Clone-A.

Official AmigaOS 4 webseite online again: www.amigaos4.com
The official web presence of AmigaOS 4 is online again and can be accessed now via amigaos4.com, too.
As Evert Carton from Hyperion explains in an article at amigaworld.net did the recreation take that long because they wanted to switch to a new content management system - the originally used CMS, he wrote , "failed horribly".

Some videos and a report on the Amiga Meeting in Bad Bramstedt
The organisers of the Amiga Meeting Nord recorded some videos with a webcam, showing all presentations and lectures respectively. Those videos can be downloaded at meeting2006.morphosi.net. The organisers thank Robin Hueskes, who provides the webspace on this web page. The users are asked to use the torrents if possible instead of downloading the videos directly, to keep the the load for the Hueskes webserver within bearable limits.
When it comes to a conclusion Thorsten Mampel of the Amiga Club Hamburg says: "It was great fun for everybody. We thank all the participants and especially the developers of the amazing presentations. We especially thank Nobbie for the great service and the barrel of free beer ;-)"
Guido Mersmann has published a report on the Amiga Meeting. However, according to him the report was not complete, but simply reports on the way the meeting went from his point of view. The author hopes you enjoy your reading.
