`07.Jan.2003` No Amiga to Waste (ANF)	No Amiga to Waste: Ideas wanted! This page can be used as a source of ideas for coder. If you have a real good idea for a program on the Amiga that should be programmed you can post it here, and maybe a coder will take it and make it. Coders for the Amiga are rar nowadays but some are still looking for ideas or asking what programmes are needed. The last entry was taken years ago, so I wanted to get some attention to it again.

`07.Jan.2003` Grzegorz Kraszewski (ANF)	TTEngine 6.0 and TTManager 1.1 TTEngine 6.0 and TTManager 1.1 have been released. New features: Font requester in TTEngine. From user point of view it looks almost the same as ASL font requester that every Amigan is familiar with. The font requester uses data stored in "ttengine.database" file and is an easiest way to use the database with applications. Requester gadgetry is based on GadTools to keep independence of disk-based GUI packages and the look consistent with ASL. Three new functions in the library API have been introduced to handle the requester: TT_AllocRequest(), TT_RequestA() and TT_FreeRequest(). See autodoc file for details. Currently the font requester provides only the basic functionality - font family and size - and will be extended in the future versions in the compatible manner (TT_RequestA() is taglist based much like ASL). A new version of "PlainTest" example program uses the font requester. Internal: Cache autooptimisation. TTEngine font cache now modifies its structure in the runtime to minimize cache search time. For example with "PlainTest" example program cache optimization lowers the number of cache search iterations from 15 500 to 6 700. Cache size limit. TTEngine 6.0 font cache size is limited and the limit can be adjusted by user. This way you can avoid memory exhaustion even if working with hundreds of TrueType fonts. When the limit is reached TTEngine starts to flush unused fonts from the cache. Read more about this feature in an User's Guide document in the distributuion archive. Internal: TTEngine global data acces is arbitrated with semaphores. It eliminates a rare possibility of lockups when multiple applications use TTEngine simultaneously. TTManager: The database manager is now aware of cache limit setting saved in the database file. (ps) [News message: 07.

`06.Jan.2003` The Register	The Register: Microsoft's masterplan to screw phone partner - full details Andrew Orlowski deals in the English language article, which you can read under the title link, in detail with how the dispute between Microsoft and the telephone manufacturer Sendo started out, and who carries which responsibility for this argument. In this connection we remind of the fact that Amiga Inc. announced in their Executive update of November 2002 a partnership with Sendo concerning their Smartphones Z100. The telephone should be delivered together with the SmartPhonePack by Amiga Inc. Few days later Sendo announced in a special report that the development program for Smartphones was given up, and as consequence the Z100 will not be delivered.

`05.Jan.2003` TGD (ANF)	REBOL/View on Amiga - new Reblets available As from now some new Reblets/programs are available in the download area under the title link, which have all been developed on the Amiga (68k) under REBOL/View. Apart form the tool "Web-GetIt!" for downloading complete HTML conforming Web pages, four interesting gamelets (Kniffel-It!, Move-It!, Cascade-It! and Break-It!) are waiting for you to try them out. The size of each Reblet is less than 30 kBytes! Minimum requirements for these programs are an Amiga with 68030/50 MHz processor as well as the corresponding REBOL/View environment. Of course the programs can also be used on every other platform under REBOL/View or REBOL/IOS. (ps) (Translation: cb) [News message: 05.

In an attempt to create an Amiga .mod remix scene as have been achieved in the C64 scene by sites like remix.kwed.org, c64audio.com and remix64.com, I have created a new Amiga remix specific mailing list at Yahoo Groups.
