New Play16 (Eclipse Edition)
Thomas Wenzel writes:
While porting my audio software to 24-bit, the first thing to do was the ages-since-last-updated
Play16. The new version 1.9, which has been completed yesterday, can now process 24-bit AIFF data.
The playback, however, is still 16-bit. Next is an AHI-Record and AmigaAMP, and of course the AHI
driver for the Prelude. As soon as the digital interface is available, the full resolution can
be used with the appropriate equipment (external 24-bit converter). Play16 is available from play16.amiga.software.com
(title link), and soon from Aminet. Aside from the expanded AIFF support, nothing much has changed
however. There are more detailed error reports if you try to play back unsupported formats or
compressions, and that's it. Please don't bombard me with eMails, what else weird features I should
be implementing, I have no time for it :) I consider the project closed, and do only detail refining.

AminetGUI updated
Alexander Kurtz writes:
My AminetGUI has been updated. I now added a new link area. Aside from little improvements
of the design, the most important change is that the GUI now has a mirror. It can now be
reached at:
Mirror 1: fly.to/aminet/
Morror 2: mercury.spaceports.com/~aminet/
If anybody has ideas or suggestions, please contact
aminet-ideen@lxk.findhere.com
Mirror 1 is having troubles, but this will be resolved ASAP.

Maim & Mangle goes 3D hardware only
To really get the most out of Maim & Mangle, a "high spec" Amiga is required. Too many
features are simply invisible without 3D hardware. So, we desided to support M&M for
Amigas with 3D hardware only. The 68k version requires an 060.

Amiga getting more and more media coverage
Heiko Krappmann writes:
In the issue of PC-Praxis before the last one, there has been an article about AmigaOS 3.5. The report
was about technical details and the release date. The MCC was mentioned briefly, too.
The latest issue of the PC-Joker printed a small article about our Amiga, too, sounding like this:
"Did you already know that Amiga is to release a new computer with Linux, appearing this year?"
At Giga, Michael Labiner stated once that they would possibly switch to Amiga if there would be
enough games to fill an issue. The video is available from PC-Joker, issue 7/99, MPEG format.
Also many VIPs are "coming out" as Amiga fans, like Oliver Kahn (German soccer pro) at Giga. He said
he had an Amiga once, and is missing it :-).

Sarcastically, clickBOOM adds that now everybody knows what Urban is doing when the
Aminet is down again, or the last CD is delayed ;-).
Runner-ups are Jamie Sheralt, who won the MicroniK Infinitiv-tower including Phase5
CV64/3D, Luke Stowe and Daniel Platt. Congratulations.

Heise: Hackermeeting hacked?
From the Heise article about the Chaos Communication Camp by the CCC:
The ports of the camp systems connected to the network have been scanned far and wide
since Friday evening, to find the weak spot in the "enemy" system. The organisers had
warned all "green" users to do Telnet sessions with encryption only, to make life not
too easy for the password sniffers. But about 6:30 PM, the catastrophy happened: the
systems suddenly denied any exchange of data with each other or internet. The Network
Operation Center (NOC) at the campsite surrendered and issued a "Red Alert". Even in
the early morning of Saturday, the NOC was still offline.

Samplitude Opus LITE (combined value: 203,49 Euro)
Marc, a great idea :-). The relevant counter is that from WebHits, on the left. This counter
has a reload lock of several hours, so it's not possible to hit reload repeatedly! Screenshot,
with time send to albrecht@act-net.com.

akNAIL Datatype registering at RegNet
Andreas R. Kleinert writes:
All people who registered for the bundle with the akNAIL datatype at RegNet
(while I have to admit they weren't that many ;) and miss the keyfile for
akNAIL, please download the latest version of "DeRegNet" from my homepage,
and simply type in the registration code once again...

Mandrake was at Amiga
Mandrake, co-developer of the Window Manager for X (Enlightenment) was invited to a
meeting at Amiga. Here his statement from his website:
Today I, raster, nettwerk, kainx, and chris dibona went over to amiga to have a little chat with Allen
Havemose (VP of Engineering) and Richard Lipes (Director, Multimedia Services) of Amiga. We talked about
a few interesting things. I promised I wouldn't say too much about what they told me on my web site, but
they might be holding a couple of tricks up their sleeve yet. I also got to leave with a bunch of Amiga
paraphanalia - which in and of itself is kinda cool. I don't know what all I can talk about q uite yet,
but I'll find out. They were pretty impressed with enlightenment, which is cool - but we did make sure
they realized it IS only beta (at best) code and we're not anywhere near done with it yet. We'll see
where this goes from here. But I'm pretty excited about maybe working with them on a few things.
This is a repost, the original message had the links screwed up.

The objective of the AAC is to help us better plan the future of Amiga
through close communications with people who are viewed as leaders in the
Amiga community. The members of the AAC have all executed non-disclosure
agreements (NDAs), with Amiga and will have access to confidential
information regarding future products and plans. This allows Amiga to share
sensitive information with respected members of the Amiga community without
having to disclose our plans publicly.
The members of the AAC were selected to represent their different areas of
affiliation within the Amiga community - the Press, Developers,
Dealers/Distributors, and the User Group organizations. The AAC is
designed to provide a flow of information from the Community to the Amiga
management team and from Amiga back to the community. Each of the members
of the AAC will act as a conduit to the community and the areas that they
represent.
We held our first official meetings with the AAC in London and in Sacramento
with over 20 AAC members participate in these first official meetings. The
AAC was able to share with Amiga many of the desires, and needs of the
community. As we work towards the launch of the Next Generation Amiga the
input received by the AAC will help guide those decisions.
"We are excited to welcome the members of the AAC as active representatives
of the Amiga community and look forward to implementing many of the programs
suggested in the near future, stated Jim Collas, "together we will make a
difference in computing forever."
