New version of Smart File System and SFS2 (AmigaOS 3/4)
Jörg Strohmayer has released new versions of the file systems SFS ("Smart File System") and SFS2. In the meantime, a port of SFS2, which supports files larger than 4 GB, exists for AmigaOS 3 as well, moreover, the maximum partition size now lies at 1 TB (Terabyte). Warning: Those who already use SFS2 and want to upgrade to the newest version must reformat all SFS2 partitions imperatively.
An update to the original SFS is also available. In SFS 1.254, the maximum partition size now lies at 128 GB, irrespective of the block size used. All corresponding checks were revised, should SFS be used on a partition that is too large, the file system now reacts duly with "Disk Full" error messages.

Cranu is a graphical user interface, with whose help, LhA, LZX, Zip, tgz or tar.bz2 archives can be created very easily (screenshot). Using so-called profiles, support for other archive formats can be supplemented.
In the beta version 0.3, solely error corrections were undertaken. So for instance, in double-clicks in the file overview, a drawer will only then be opened, when really both clicks applied to it.

AmigaOS 4: File system SFS with support for files larger than 4 GB
Jörg Strohmayer has released a special version of the file system SFS, which also supports files larger than two and four gigabytes, respectively. "SFS2" is not compatible with the forerunner SFS, but both versions can be used concurrently. The author specifically points out the beta character of the software.
Since the support for file sizes beyond the two gigabyte limit, introduced with AmigaOS 4, requires the usage of new operating system functions, practically no software is available at present that could handle such large files. But with SFS2, the development of such applications is now possible for the first time.

Amiga Future 59 (March/April 2006) preview online
Press release Already today the preview of the Amiga Future 59 (March/April 2006)
is online.
We have done it because we still do not know how many magazines we have to print.
Because of that we ask all to order as soon as possible so we can adapt the amount of
the magazines.
The Amiga Future ReaderCD contains the following full versions:
- Defender of the Crown
- Defender of the Crown 2
- Pulsator unpublished material
- Beneath at Steel
- Lure of the Temptress
- Indigio
But the magazine itself contains many interesting articles, too: A test of
the new AmigaOS 4 Update as well as a detailed report about Hollywood 2.
You can get a detailed list of the content on our homepage.

MorphOS: Interest in DVB-S playback software? (Update)
At the title link, MorphZone published information by Ralph Schmidt about a MorphOS program for DVB-S playback (support for DVB-T and DVB-C could be added by some further work as well). It's been used for prototyping the technology and thus not fully polished yet to be useful for sale.
Therefore there is the question if there is a big enough interest for such a program to justify polishing it to sell it. A few unsharp cam pictures of it with a down-scaled window are available at MorphOS-News.de. A poll for the interest in this software will be added at MorphZone as soon as some technical difficulties will be solved.
Update: (11:18, 11.02.06, snx)
Meanwhile the poll is online at MorphZone and can be found on the left side of the main page.
