`25.Nov.2004` ANN (website)	NewGUI: Test Version 1.4.1 with Transparent Windows A test version of NewGUI 1.4.1 for AmigaOS 3.x and CyberGraphX 3+ with a few bugfixes and new functions like transparent windows is available for download under the title link. Here are screenshots. NewGUI also runs under the 68k emulation of MorphOS. With regard to the transparency, it's not a true transparency - a new layers.library would be necessary for that. The background is not updated. Nevertheless the transparency effect requires a lot of processor performance, but according to the author's message the time for the calculation of the background has been reduced to acceptable levels on a 68040. The Pyramids demo requires at least a 16 bit display. The author welcomes comments and suggestions for improvement. (snx) (Translation: dm) [News message: 25.

`24.Nov.2004`	Genesi: A statement concerning MorphOS The current MorphOS release is owned by the shareholders of Genesi and is being distributed today in a form fully licensed and paid for. Genesi will resume support of external MorphOS 1.5 development when there is a clear plan and a date set for the release. The posts against Genesi made on MorphOS.net are unfortunate. These actions of a single person have damaged our discussions with major strategic partners and have cast doubt on Genesi and MorphOS. There has never been any disagreement about paying for development, in fact more than $500,000 have been paid to MorphOS developers and for MorphOS licenses. There has been disagreement however, how much and for what to pay for. MorphOS does not currently drive significant sales of the platform. It is our hope that one day it will, but this will not be achieved without the majority of the Company's resources being focused on activities that generate revenue and profit. Genesi has become a partner/sponsor of the Debian, Gentoo and Crux Linux developer communities. Genesi is also enrolled in the official board support/partner programs of Yellow Dog Linux, Montavista and QNX Software Systems. It is in these areas that Genesi is now focused. 24th November 2004 bbrv@genesi.lu (snx) [News message: 24. Nov. 2004, 19:32] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`24.Nov.2004` amigaworld.net (website)	AmigaOne-XE: Hardware fix for the DMA/Ethernet problem? AmigaOS4 beta tester Steven Solie explains in his report about the 'Ottawa Amiga Show' that directly after the show, his AmigaOne dealer (LiveWire Systems) applied a hardware fix to his AmigaOne that fixes the lock ups that appear when using onboard IDE DMA at the same time as an Ethernet controller (we reported). According to Solie, complete information on the procedure will be available to all AmigaOne dealers soon. Eyetech did not confirm any of the above statements yet.
