`25.Aug.2007` amigaworld.net (Webseite)	Chiptune-Tracker: Hively-Tracker 1.4 for AmigaOS 3/4 and AROS HivelyTracker is a tracker based on the AHX-format (screenshot). AHX was developed in the nineties to write songs which have the typical chip-sound of the SID (sound-chip of C64). Changes since version 1.3: Playback no longer stops when the "Load Mod" filerequester is open Undo & Redo for almost all edit operations Cutting an area in the position editor cleared both columns of the left & right edges even if they weren't selected. Fixed. Cutting or pasting in the position editor didn't update the track editor even if the current tracks were changed by the operation. Fixed. If you change preference options that require the GUI to be closed and re-opened, it now does that instead of requiring you to quit and restart. Skin directory, initial song directory and initial instrument directory options all now can be selected via ASL directory requester. Right-clicking on a channel mute button now mutes all other channels except that channel. If it is already the only un-muted channel, all channels will be unmuted instead (suggested by Syphus). Added "9xx" panning command to the instrument performancelist. It only changes the panning position for that specific instrument. The next time an instrument is played in that channel, it returns to the last panning position set with the traditional "7xx" track command. Pasting or marking blocks in the position editor didn't work correctly if channel 1 wasn't the leftmost channel. Fixed. Pressing Ctrl+B while marking a block now cancels block marking instead of resetting the mark position. Added a drumpad mode, selectable either by the funky new on/off gadget or via the backslash key. When enabled, selecting instruments via numeric keyboard causes them to be played, and if edit mode is set, the instrument is inserted into the song. Suggested by Syphus. Changed the release cut gadget from a 0/1 number gadget to the funk- tastic new on/off gadget (W00T!!111) Fixed a bug in the command line replayer that was really dumb and should have been spotted ages ago! Oops. Before, if a skin directory existed, and the logo bitmap existed in that directory, but there was any other file missing, hively would bomb out instead of reverting to the default skin and retrying. Now if a skin fails to load for any reason, hively retries with the default skin (SIDMonster-Light). This allows hively to load even if ht.prefs contains an invalid skin (such as SIDMonster-Heavy, which has been discontinued from 1.4 onwards). Fixed an incorrect pointer in the autogain routine (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 25. Aug. 2007, 03:35] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`23.Aug.2007` Amigaworld.net (Forum)	AmigaOS 4: AmiTV test version 0.5 (Update) Ian Gledhill has published another test version of AmiTV which is a softare which makes it possible to use TV-cards under AmigaOS 4. He asks for your feedback. A Radeon-graphic card with Overlay support as well as a TV-card with Conexant CX2388x-Chipsatz (e.g. Hauppauge WinTV HVR1600) or Bt8x8 are required. Download: AmiTV_0.5.lha (420 KB) Update: (09:18, 25.08.07, snx) Meanwhile version 0.5 is available. (snx) (Translation: dr) [News message: 23.

`22.Aug.2007` Amiga.org (Webseite)	Ars Technica: A history of the Amiga, part 3 Under the title link Jeremy Reimer has continued his survey about the Amiga history with the first prototypes and the development of the operating system. The third part ends with the purchase by Commodore. In his article serie the author wants to explain "what the Amiga was, what it meant to his developers and users and why it - despite of the early decline and its [from the current point of view] rather slight brand awareness - had so much influence on the computer industry".

`22.Aug.2007`	AmigaOS 4: Classic-version with native Mediator-support According to Hans-Jörg "Rogue" Frieden in a thread at amigans.net currently the kernel is adapted to the known PCI-busboards of the Mediator-serie. In the past it was known that the original pci.library of the producer of Elbox also works under AmigaOS 4 but has some incompatibilities to the existing PCI-driver system of the new operating system. That means users had to use the drivers provided by Elbox. If and how the DMA problem of the Mediator boards will be solved - the hardware does not support real DMA - is still not clear. Certain PCI-cards (e.g. tv-cards) require DMA. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 22. Aug. 2007, 16:23] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
