`28.May.2006` Bernd Roesch (ANF)	AFA OS: Prerelease 1 of the MUI clone Zune Bernd Roesch is now making a port of the MUI clone Zune available for AFA OS, his AmigaOS backport of diverse AROS libraries. Zune can be run in parallel with MUI, no files of a MUI installation are deleted or overwritten whatsoever. With the "ZunePromoter", it is configured which MUI applications should use Zune instead of the original MUI libraries. This approach was necessary, since many MUI applications apparently use undocumented MUI functions and, at present, do not work under Zune yet. YAM and SimpleMail were already tested and accord with Zune. Zune still has two restrictions at present: It can't open its own screens yet (only the Workbench screen is supported), and the window coordinates are not saved. For the implementation of functions that are still missing, the author would be thankful for the assistance of other developers. External classes for Zune have the ending .zcc and .zcp and are located in MUI:libs/zune. Therefore, MUI classes can be converted to Zune classes simply with a file editor, even without access to the sources. The classes by Klaus Melchior(kmel) and Alfonso Ranieri were thus adapted to Zune with the authors' consent and accompany the archive. Other classes are copied and adapted during the installation of Zune. Programmers who would like to use Zune directly, simply open the zune.library instead of the muimasterbase.library. Should this action fail, the muimasterbase.library should be opened instead. Thus, both MUI and Zune can be supported with just one binary. Authors, who use undocumented MUI functions, or whose software does not work under Zune for other reasons, are asked to contact Roesch in order to allow for a suitable adaptation or extension of the libraries.

`28.May.2006` Carsten Siegner (ANF)	MorphOS: TCP stack Mosnet 1.1 Pavel "Sonic" Fedin has released version 1.1 of his PPC-native TCP stack Mosnet. Reportedly, the stack should now be noticeably faster than the forerunner version, additionally, the archive now contains a documentation in Amigaguide format.

`28.May.2006`	MorphOS: Update to the Commodore emulator VICE Harry "Piru" Sintonen has released an update to the MorphOS version of VICE. Besides the elimination of numerous minor errors (in the file requester, among others), overlay is now supported as well. (cg) (Translation: cad) [News message: 28.

`28.May.2006`	MorphOS: Role-playing game ISO-Angband Krzysztof 'Tarnak' Kretus has released a MorphOS port of ISO-Angband. ISO-Angband is a variant of the well-known "Hack'n Slash" role-playing game Angband, where events are presented from an isometric perspective. The powersdl.library is required.

`28.May.2006` Amigaworld.net (Web page)	AmigaOS 4: Lua 5.1-2 Steven Solie has released an update to his programming language Lua, which is ported by him to AmigaOS 4. Version 5.1 still forms the basis of this, but dynamic libraries are now supported as well. So, the programming language can now be extended with, for example, a ReAction toolkit, without having to modify Lua itself. Also, a Lua interface to existing AmigaOS libraries can be added, as it had been realized in some cases with ARexx, too, at that time. The latter is achieved through supplementing the respective library with an exec interface called "lua" as well as the associated program code, which deals with the conversion between the two environments. A corresponding skeletal structure for such a library is contained as an example. Lua is about a lightweight language which is designed for extending applications. Here, it is a fundamental concept to provide, instead of a large number of functions, meta-mechanisms for their implementation. Download: lua.lha (821 KB) (snx) (Translation: cad) [News message: 28.

`27.May.2006` Alfred Faust (ANF)	AmigaOS 4: TiMidity 0.5 TiMidity is a program to render and convert MIDI files. Because of the very positive feedback to the release of a first beta version of his AmigaOS 4 port released Alfred Faust a new version with more control elements added to the ReAction /Gadtools user interface. With version 0.5 it is now possible to reach almost all options of TiMidity via the user interface. All messages are now shown in a special text area of the program window instead of being displayed in a separate window. To be able to use TiMidity you need GUS patches and/or sound fonts that are available in the OS4 depot for download. Download: timidity.lha (426 KB) (snx) (Translation: wk) [News message: 27.
