`11.Jan.2006` MorphOS-News.de (Software-Liste)	MorphOS: DigiFilter 2.0 Grzegorz 'Krashan' Kraszewski has released DigiFilter version 2.0 for MorphOS. It is a design tool for digital FIR filters ("finite impulse response". Different to programs which are limited to typical low pass, high pass, band pass and band stop frequency answers or are encompassing a limited set of frequency points, DigiFilter offers a graphic frequency response editor. The program uses a window design technique with rectangle, trirangle, "Blackman" and "Kaiser" windows. Thanks to high otimization even very long filter (2048 sample points and more) may be used real ime on G3 computers. DigiFilter 2.0 requires the media stream library Reggae B by the same author (amiga-news.de reported). (snx) (Translation: ub) [News message: 11.

`09.Jan.2006` Andreas Magerl (ANF)	Amiga Future release 58 (Januar/Februar 2006) was published The following German text reports about the release 58 of the German Amiga-Magazin "Amiga Future". The Amiga Furure are only published in german language. Pressemitteilung : Etwas früher als geplant ist heute die Amiga Future Ausgabe 58 (Januar/Februar 2006) erschienen. In dieser Ausgabe sind wieder Artikel für alle Bereiche dabei. So haben wir Desert Racing für den Classic Amiga, BlobWars für AmigaOS 4 und Virtual GP für MorphOS getestet. Aber natürlich gibt es nicht nur Berichte über Spiele. Ein MyApacheStarter Test fehlt genauso wenig im Heft wie ein Special über die AmigaOS 4 Prefs oder RAM und ein Review von AmiKit. Natürlich ist das nicht der gesamte Inhalt der Amiga Future. Auf unerer Homepage findet ihr eine Inhaltsangabe sowie Leseproben. Als besonderes Highlight haben wir, neben vielen weiteren Vollversionen, auf unserer LeserCD Main Actor sowie Ports of Call. (Ein passendes Interview zu POC fehlt natürlich auch nicht.) Die Auflage der Amiga Future steigt stetig. Das hatte in der Vergangenheit zur Folge das einige Einzelheft-Besteller leider leer ausgegangen sind. Um das zu vermeiden haben wir natürlich die Druckauflage erhöht. Trotzdem haben wir auch dieses mal die Befürchtung das die Ausgabe wesentlich früher ausverkauft ist als geplant. Wir empfehlen deswegen allen Usern die an dieser Ausgabe der Amiga Future Interesse haben, so bald wie möglich zu bestellen. Die Amiga Future ist im Amiga Fachhandel (Zum Beispiel Vesalia, GGS-Data, ...) sowie auf den Amiga Future und APC&TCP Homepages erhältlich. (cg) (Translation: aj) [News message: 09.

`09.Jan.2006`	MorphOS: Reggae B veröffentlicht (Update) Grzegorz 'Krashan' Kraszewski notify a new class is now added to Reggae - it is fir.filter used for audio signal filtering. The code is highly optimized, so even very long filters (2048 taps and more) can be performed in realtime even on G3 processor. Some routines are written for AltiVec, but MorphOS 1.4.5 kernel doesn't have AltiVec turned on, so routines can't be used yet (but they are there, tested and waiting for a new kernel). Update: (18:18, 09.01.06, snx) The complete packet is now released, Reggae B. Beside the actual classes is the fir.filter included and also a second new class named winicon.demuxer to load Windows Icons. (snx) (Translation: aj) [News message: 09.
