A-EON Technology: Further updates of replacement commands for AmigaOS
For their reimplementation of AmigaOS commands within their Enhancer Software, A-EON Technology have released further updates of their own commands for AmigaOS 3.x and AmigaOS 4: AddBuffers*, AddDatatypes*, Assign*, Copy, List and MakeDir*.

As usual, the new versions can be downloaded by registered customers of Enhancer Software using the Updater software.

Changes:
  • AddBuffers 46.3/54.3
    • Now temporarily turns off system requesters when using the LIST option
  • AddDataTypes 46.6/54.6
    • Added NOREPLACE option to prevent one datatype from replacing another added datatype with the same name when using the REFRESH option
    • Now also reports the number of datatypes that were added when the REFRESH option is used
    • Bugfix: A structure that was freed too soon could cause an illegal memory access
    • Added more checks for out of memory error
  • Assign 46.4/54.4
    • Improved INHIBIT option: only dos device names with filesystems can now be inhibited. Also it is no longer possible to make nested inhibits. Also added messages when a device is successfully inhibited or uninhibited
  • Copy 46.8/54.8
    • Fixed bug when printing "object not found" error messages for filenames that don't contain a path
  • List 46.8/54.8
    • Bugfix: The %S LFORMAT operator was only substituting the filename and not also the path as it should in case of multiple %S occurrences
    • Bugfix: Only lowercase LFORMAT operators were recognised
  • MakeDir 46.8/54.8
    • Added FORCE option to ignore "object already exists" error
[* = Editor's note: When this news-item was released, those links from A-EON Technology's press release still had no Wiki entries.] (snx)

Point'n Click Adventure: First trailer of "Ermentrud"
Timo Kloss writes: "The point'n'click adventure game 'Ermentrud' has a first trailer. It is not final yet, so criticism is very welcome. 'Ermentrud' was originally developed between 2001 and 2004 for Amigas with a graphics card, but then abandoned. It was set in a medieval world and featured an absurd plot with absurd humor. And the hero had a cardboard marche horse.

This year it will be released after all, though not to the extent planned at the time. It will contain all the original graphics, sounds and music, but the plot will be reworked and "rounded". So far only a German version is planned. It is not yet clear if there will be other languages. The game will be available for free." (cg) (Translation: bb)

A-EON is already internally testing Alpha releases of their own operating system
Allegedly, A-EON's OS4 licenses expired quite some time ago and sources claim the company is not trying to apply for a new one. amiga-news.de has now received screenshots from an anonymous source that seem to be from a private forum A-EON is running for their betatesters. The screenshots show a posting from late May, in which Matthew 'Amigakit' Leaman announces the availability of the first Alpha release of "Enhancer Software Release V54". The term "Operating System" is never used, but Leaman's description clearly refers to a standalone system.

Leaman refers to the download available to Betatesters as a "Distribution". It's said to be a bootable ISO image, although the installation instructions explain how to use an existing AmigaOS 4.1 installation to set the new system up. The OS modules not yet reimplemented for the Enhancer project need to be copied from an existing AmigaOS installation into a drawer of the Enhancer system called 'Legacy:' - the distribution's installer apparently takes care of that. Leaman's description of the process is like this: "We are no longer installing the Enhancer Software over the OS 4.1.The OS 4.1 files are complementing the main Enhancer Software system".

In his announcement, Leaman lists the developers who have contributed to the project so far (surnames added by amiga-news.de staff where known):
  • Classes, Commodities: Daniel, Massimo [Tantignone], Thomas [Frieden?]
  • Datatypes-System: Kevin
  • Multiview, MultiEdit, X-Dock: Andy [Broad]
  • Utilities, preferences, system tools: Fredrik [Wikstrom], Javier, Guillaume [Boesel]
  • Neue Sensor-API, rejuvenated Mediatoolbox: Andrea Vallinotto
  • Updated versions of Ringhio: Max [Tretene]
  • Warp 3D Nova, (upcoming) modernised 2D graphics: Hans [de Ruiter]
  • Shell commands: Constantinos
  • Icons, other artwork: Martin [Merz]
Other components owned by A-EON such as MediaToolbox, DVPlayer and the original Warp3D will "of course" (Leaman) also be included in the distribution. (cg) (Translation: cg)

Demo version for platform game 'Creeping Me Out Hex Night'
'Creeping Me Out Hex Night' written by Michael Dawes using the Construction Kit Scorpion Engine is supposed to become a new jump'n run game. On the website of the developer the demo version 1.0j is available which fixes some bugs. According to the developer "it should have slightly lower memory requirements now, making it safer to load from WB. Please read the readme.txt before playing." (dr)
