Software-News until 21.12.2009

Text viewer: EvenMore 0.69

EvenMore is a textviewer written in AmigaE and by Chris Perver. Changes since the last version:
  • Modified exec list sorting to receive a list length variable, so it doesn't need to be counted first. Also modified Dir2Text plugin to accept this
  • Was freeing information bar pattern data by mistake when launching an external program
  • Pär Boberg has updated his Swedish catalog file following the changes made to the preferences
  • Added two new escape code sequences. ESC[52m will set the displayed font in EvenMore to the user selected font, while ESC[53m will set the displayed font to the default system font. This will allow plugins such as the Generic2Text plugin to switch to a uniform system font when viewing hexadecimal files.
  • Updated Generic2Text plugin to use the system font when viewing hexadecimal files

MorphOS: Drawerball 0.8q

Tom 'Amigaharry' Duin has published Drawerball 0.8q which is a very early version of a simple file manager.

AmigaOS 4: Modula 2-development environment AgletM2PPC

AgletM2PPC is a complete Modula 2-development environment inclusive compiler. Only a text editor is required (GoldEd, CygnusEd and TurboText are supported). Changes since the last release:

Compiler:
  • The compiler itself is now PPC native, and is significantly faster!
  • The size limit on procedures is now probably large enough for any sane program
  • A bug which caused extremely excessive stack use was fixed. Now 40 or 50K should be enough for almost any compile
  • Some code generation errors were fixed
  • Fixed problem with Opaque pointers resolved within the IMPLEMENTATION module by imported pointer types
  • Added compiler warning: OpenArrayCopyWarn
  • SDK 53.8+ now using the GNU assembler v2.18 vs. 2.14 in earlier SDKs. This required that some instructions be output slightly differently
  • Certain "recording" versions of FP instructions are no longer generated, since Sam 440ep/flex does not support them

(Pre)Linker
  • Mod2Lnk recognizes a "-stack" switch and inserts the "$STACK:xxxx" cookie into executables. The .asm files no longer need be kept around. All dependency information is in the object file now. Asm files are written to T:
  • Added the "-g" debug switch, which causes both exported and non-exported symbols to be put into the Elf symbol table so that SymbolsRTS can find them as well

M2IDE
  • Option "Make Icons?" added for the project file save
  • Fixed problem of GR on exit if M2IDE changed its current directory
  • Multiselect now supported for the "Misc Files" file requester

Amiga Modules
  • Added Definition files for about 25 more Amiga Libraries, and all supplied Amiga definition files (over 150 of them) were brought up to the v53.13 SDK
  • The TextEditor gadget is now working much better, as the Definition file now adjusts to a glitch in the SDK's .h file

Aglet Modules
  • System module SymbolsRTS was introduced for better debugging of exception locations
  • CLI program arguments and Workbench ToolTypes are transparently (almost) unified when the ArgsSupport module is used to read startup arguments
  • Many improvements in the (experimental) SimpleXXX modules (SimpleGUI, SimpleScreens, SimpleMenus, SimpleGraphics, etc)
  • new modules: BigInt, for 155 bit integers; IconSupport, for writing out icons

Filesharing: Testing Amigift 2.0 for free

Amigift is a P2P file sharing system based on the giFT-demon (Gnutella, FastTrack, OpenFT) ported from the Unix-system and which has a MUI-based graphical user-interface called "GiftMUI" (screenshot). The author now offers a key with which you can test all the features of the shareware program for a limited time for 30 minutes per session.
