MorphOS: Alpha-Version von MUI 4
Stefan Stuntz has released an alpha version of MUI 4.0. The author describes this version as "not ready for a while yet" and speaks of "various rough edges."

Changes in this version:

For users:
  • All mui programs react in realtime on prefs changes.
  • New and much improved background & frame requesters.
  • New color requester with many options, fancy triangle, old-fashioned wheel, linked gradients, etc.
  • New image browser.
  • Complete asl replacement, fancy file & font requesters.
  • New pubscreen manager with skin preview.
  • Dont forget to try context menus on all new elements!
  • ...

For programmers:
  • List class changed completely (subclass of group now), has nice columns, handles scrollbars etc by itself, no more ugly listview->list construct needed. this "list being subclass of group" might be the main reason for incompatibilities, especially with the way older apps use the notify system. Listview.mui is obsolete and mainly an empty shell now.
  • MUI finally has a proper multiline text entry class: Textinput.mcc was built in as "String.mui". an empty Textinput.mcc is supplied as well to map older apps to the new internal string class. Support in the main prefs program is still missing, use Textinput.mcp for now.
  • You can embed a filerequester if you like, use "Filepanel.mui" and control with the usual ASLFR_ tags.
  • New class for easy sub-process handling.
  • ...

The corresponding developer documents (Autodocs) are included in the archive.

PowerPC: Freescale MPC7448 mass production in October
At the Frescale Technology Forum in Orlando, Florida Freescale announced today mass production of their latest high end processor MPC7448 will start in October. The 7448 is the first ppc using Freescale'e new e600 core which has a 1 MB 2nd level cache (doubled in comparision to the 7447), an improved Altivec unit (out of order sequences) and a faster external bus (up to 200 Mhz) (Out-of-Order-Befehlsfolge), but it keeps pin and binary compatible with it's predecessor (MPC7447).

Due to the newly introduced 90 nanometer process and other detail improvements the MPC7448 will not only consume less energy than the 7447 but also allow to go for higher clock rates. Production from October on will reach 1.7 Ghz. (cg) (Translation: ub)
