V³, AmTelnet, Microdot-1-Source
Oliver Wagner has released on October 14th, 2000 in .plans on the V³ portal site information regarding the current state of development of the web browser. The V³ development proceeds well. Frames are supported again, and the tuning of the deeper integrated layer- and cliprects-routines gave a relevant speed boost for output and scrolling.

Soon there'll be a new release version after David Gerber has finished the configurable popup menus.

Of AmTelnet there's a test version which is supposed to fix the problems with Z-modem-transfers in conjunction with Miami - or maybe not.

Besides that Oliver Wagner has released the source code for MicroDot-1 (not 2).

Amiga Database for SuSE Linux PPC
Michael Heider wrote:
Using the title link you find some helpful texts and also some configuration files in the newly installed Amiga data base for SuSE Linux PPC (both versions). Among other things it is now possible to use SAX and YAST2 under SuSE Linux PPC on the Amiga,too. The data needed for that are ready for download on my homepage.

I also want to announce that in the next few days there'll be a kernel 2.2.10 for all Linux_m68k users ready for download which also works with the Linux_m68k CD I created.

AmigAIM 0.9396 beta
On October 15th, 2000 Richard H. Poser has released the beta version 0.9396 of AmigAIM. This program makes it possible to use the AOL-Instant-Messenger-system "AIM". Compared to the previous version the following has changed:
  • I think I isolated the problems with the Password being saved improperly, Capitalization and Spacing in ScreenName used for signon should no longer matter - I found that an Earlier built in data conversion was attempting a conversion anyway if spaces were used in the ScreenName in the Signon. I call the problem, the "amazingly growing password"
  • I also now restrict the length of the ScreenName and PassWord entry blocks to a maximum of 16 characters (Longest AIM will allow anyway. Not sure why I hadn't done this already)

AROS


AROS: Development Status
On oktober 11th, 2000 AROS has released a status report about the current status of this Open Source project. The changes concern mainly the AROS version for x86 computers.

Cleaning-up of the AROS source tree by Bernardo Innocenti, simple hardfile support of FFS formatted floppy disks (ADF) by Georg Steger, and better mouse support for AROS native/x86 by Tobias Seiler (mouse buttons work now). Georg threw in some additional code to change the position of the mouse pointer on the screen, and now you can move the window around. Since VGA.HIDD doesn't support the XOR drawing mode, yet there is still some graphics garbage when you move the window, but that should be fixed, soon.

StarOffice-Sourcecode Released
Sun has released the source code of StarOffice as Open Source on October 13th, 2000. This is the pre-release of StarOffice 6.0. The further development of the package has been handed over to the OpenOffice-Project.

The source code is 400 MByte in size, and is available for download at the OpenOffice website for download. It contains 35,000 files which count all together some 9 million lines of C++ code. A Pentium III computer with 256 MB RAM and Linux would need some 20 hours to compile the package. The space required on the harddrive will grow up to 2 GByte while doing this. Currently supported are Windows, Linux, and Solaris. A version for Mac OsX, which is said to be still in an earlier stade, should follow.

Sun themself will still participate in developing the Office package in the future through their development department in Hamburg, and release official StarOffice versions basing on OpenOffice. Those will also contain components which Sun has acquired from thrid party companies and thus are not part of the OpenOffice package. These components include the spell checker, the thesaurus and the database Adabas D.

News about SView-Ports
SuperView is a well known graphics converting and viewing tool well knwon of the Amiga. The author Andreas Kleinert is working on porting SView to other systems, and publishes a status report:

The GUI preview of the planned WinSView tool kit still is at alpha state while subject of intensive development. Hence it still is not available, but by this you will get some initial impression on what it is about.

Development takes place on two levels:
  • 1. The underlying C++ class library for image handling (loading, saving)
  • 2. The program surface (GUI) in form of a MFC 4.1-based design

Both originally were developed using Watcom C/C++ - for the class library part and for testing it we use the Watcom C/C++ V11 ability to develop 32 bit software for the Win9x/NT character mode (DOS box), and for the GUI part BlueSky's Visual Programmer is utilized.

But the design of the C++ classes is completely platform independent (e.g. regarding endianess) and suitable to be ported for a wide range of operating systems, e.g. certain Linux derives, BeOS or QNX. Additionally, no compiler specific C++ specialities are used ("baseline C++") and utilization from a clean C program is no problem.
More infos can be found at the title link.
