`06.Aug.2004` Steffen Nitz (ANF)	SN-EuroArchiv I: V1.6 published / DKG II-Status SN-EuroArchiv I V1.6 is available on my homepage. You can now limit all statistics to one year or month to show only the whole statistic of e.g. August 2004. This limitation can be also linked with the "free choice gadget" which has been added in the last version. DKG II-status: I only have to finish the buying of buildings of competitors. Then a proper test of the new routines of the real game (and not the debug version) must be done to see if it is all right. I think during the next seven days a new release will be published. If you want to know what features have been added in the new version then have a look at the status-website. (snx) (Translation: dr) [News message: 06.

`06.Aug.2004` Dietmar Knoll (ANF)	Website of the GAUHPIL database updated The GAUHPIL (Geographical Amiga Users Home Page Internet List) is a list created and moderated by Dietmar Knoll, containing websites of Amiga users, ordered by continents and countries. Meanwhile, the GAUHPIL has been converted into a MySQL based database solution. Today, a cosmetic change was done, that should improve the look a lot: the languages of the homepages are now symbolised by small flags. (snx) [News message: 06.

`05.Aug.2004` Olaf Barthel & Matthias Rustler	Sourceforge Project for "clib2" "clib2" is a C library that's used in OS4 wherever the alternative "newlib" is not. Olaf Barthel has worked on this library for two years, originally with the goal of using it for the port of Samba 2.2.5. In the meantime a lot more has happened: An almost complete ISO-C (1994) compatible runtime environment with fully available source code. It may be used with GCC (68k und PowerPC) or SAS/C. Whoever has problems with the StormC runtime library, for example, may have better luck with clib2 (assuming an adaptation to this compiler has been made). Because such a big project is not without bugs after two years, Olaf would be pleased to have the support of more developers. To this end the clib2 project has been hosted on sourceforge.net for the past few weeks. (cg) (Translation: dm) [News message: 05.

Relating to that there have been some recent instances of bugs being eliminated that gave the current MorphOS version problems. And so the graphic user interface of Devedie for DVD display by way of MPlayer has been updated. This may be downloaded for Pegasoshere , in the Pegasos Forum. MUIFind is a search program taht has the option of opening the found data as well as opening the corresponding program. Altabber works in principal like Alt+Tab key combinations under Windows.

`05.Aug.2004` Genesi (e-mail)	Incriminations against Genesi in connection with the Guardian withdrawn While reporting about the discontinuation of Pegasos support by the operating system OpenBSD, we also linked to a statement by Mitch B. Parker on the mailinglist OpenBSD-misc. Mr. Parker had worked on the Guardian project together with Dale Rahn and ShopIP. In the mentioned mailinglist posting, he had accused Genesi of reverse engineering and sabotage with regard to ShopIP's CrunchBox. Under the title link, again on the OpenBSD-misc mailinglist, he has now withdrawn his incriminations as being utterly false. (snx) [News message: 05.
