`16.Dec.2003` Stefan Blixth (E-Mail)	New and updated tools from OnyxSoft The Swedish shareware-developer-group OnyxSoft released two new and three updated tools: AddLF (Version 1.0) This is a very simple tool that makes text files that has no linefeeds in them become readable in non-wrapping text-viewers/editors. It tries to wrap after 80 characters but might go 10 chars longer if it means not breaking a word. If a word is very long when AddLF wants to wrap it will cut the word and insert a dash "-". OnyxPrelude (Version 1.0) This is a new fresh mixer for the Prelude sound cards! You can test the mixer even w/o a prelude =) Everything concerning audio can be controlled by ARexx! Everything concerning audio can be controlled by userdefinable hotkeys! There are two different mixer GUIs, pick the one you like! The mixer can popup on hotkey or ARexx event! The mixer can close again after a userdefinable delay! A very small, configurable and slick bevel can popup instead of the mixer on hotkey or ARexx events! It also has all normal features of a mixer, like the ability to change the display name of a channel, hide channels you never use, reset the card on startup etc. And it uses MUI... DigiConverter (Version 1.1) Now you can also convert from and to floats. Useful mainly for handling floats where you only have access to for example hexadicimal values. DRemind (Version 1.66) Now you can make your remind Bold, /Italic/, _Underlined_ and/or coloured in the remind list! Fixed a bug which caused Single reminds to never pop up. (a 2<->4 digits year bug). --BAR--'s couldn't be moved since they where excluded from the sorting routines in DRPrefs. Which gadgets to be shown as default was not correct. See Main GUI Settings/Show'n'Hide for other gadgets. TheMPegEncGUI (Version 2.31) Now full CDDB-support is built-in into TheMPegEncGUI! You don't need to use some other program to get those CD-IDs from the net and then try to figure out what file it was and load that into The_GUI, all is now automated. Insert a CD, add files (previously leached off the CD, or directly from the CD if you have f.ex. AllegroCDFS), then select Obtain CDDB from the ID3-Tag menu. When drag'n'dropping files into the file list window some menu options were not enabled. You had to add a file using the Add-button. There were some dublettes and inconsistencies of hotkeys for the menus. Switching between Lame/Mpega in Lite didn't work from the menu. The bitrate was not correct in the full and Lite-versions.

`16.Dec.2003` PIK (ANF)	Smart Filesystem v1.214 SFS is an alternative Filesystem for the Classic AmigaOS, which is famous for the high writing-, reading- and search speed defiance its Beta-status. After a few test updates the SFS.lha which you can find in a few days on Aminet (1.214, 273,995 bytes size of the archive) makes no problems in defragmenting. SFSdefrag was debugged. The old SFS.lha-archives are deleted with update automatically, especially the 1.213 distribution You can get quick information under: http://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/aminetbin/find. A tool which could configurate the number of files in .recycled will be available until week3/2004. The tests are running. (nba) (Translation: gf) [News message: 16.

`16.Dec.2003` Jim Steichen (ANF)	Programming language: AmigaTalk V2.5 in Aminet Jim Streichen has uploaded AmiTalk V2.5 to the Aminet under dev/lang. The new variation of the version 2.5 of Little Smalltalk (V1.0 of Tim Budd) shows a better memory manager. Until now the memory of AmigaTalk wasn't released after ending.

`15.Dec.2003` Chris Hodges (E-Mail)	USB-Stack: Poseidon Update V2.2 Chris Hodges announced the release of version 2.2 of the USB stack 'Poseidon'. Read his announcement: After my seven months break due to my diploma thesis, I have reworked the HID class quite a bit. It now supports digital and analogue joypads via the lowlevel.library. Moreover, the class now supports changing of HID Output and Feature items (i.e. for keyboard LEDs or Force Feedback/Rumble joypads). Input values for items can now be scaled and clipped and flipped. There is support for local and global variables. The value that is used for the action can now also be redirected to origin from these variables, timers, click counts, etc, or randomly (e.g. for auto fire). Actions can now be triggered upon definable condition codes, making it even more powerful (you want to do a special action on three clicks with the middle mouse button, or when shift is pressed?, no problem!). The default keyboard mapping can now also be changed. All this comes with a price -- the GUI is now a bit more complex. But no worries -- you don't have to use these features, if you don't like to. The English version of the manual has been updated a bit to reflect the changes -- unfortunately, the German translation (done by Michael Böhmer) has been lost in a crash. I will update the guide accordingly, but this will take some more time. Several classes have been updated, such as the massstorage.class. It now has some new default settings and fall back options. The poseidon main library now fixes the problems created by broken Olympus cameras not being bound to the MSD class. It now also tries to assign better names to devices that don't come with string descriptors. Trident has been rewritten into subclasses for the MorphOS mprefs and is now a bit more stable (I hope). The installer script has been slightly updated and now contains Spanish strings, kindly translated by Dámaso Domínguez. The AddUSBHardware command now has an "ALL" option, allowing to take the stack offline by just issuing an "AddUSBHardware REMOVE ALL" line -- handy for game starting scripts. Finally, the device driver for the Algor has been optimized a bit, and also a bug had been fixed. Now for something completely different. In August, I stopped taking registrations, because Elbox treated me badly (as a summary) and I hoped, that they would change their mind. I should have known better. They kept selling their cards, even though they knew that the users wouldn't be able to use them. They didn't care at all about the users and their fate. As of today, the registration process is open again. Keyfiles can again be obtained from me directly (cash or bank transfer, no credit cards!). Please note that the licence fee has been increased a bit to reflect the new features added. Of course, no new keyfile are required for current users to use the V2.2 version. IOSpirit will offer a bundle for ArakAttack users soon, details will be announced by IOSpirit in a few days (please don't bugger them right now). ArakAttack currently works on Amithlon and OpenPCI supported PCI bridge boards for OHCI and UHCI PCI cards (and onboard USB). EHCI (USB2.0) is being implemented and will be available later. ArakAttack currently does not work on Mediator boards, but means are being prepared to get it running on these machines to offer a high-quality USB driver for any PCI card (including the Spider). That's it for now. Hope you will enjoy the new Poseidon release and have a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year. Who knows, maybe we will see many nice things happing during 2004. Such as the AmigaOS4 release or the Pegasos II. Stay healthy! There's still much to come. (nba) (Translation: sk) [News message: 15.

`13.Dec.2003` Thilo Köhler (ANF)	Announcement: new demo version 0.9beta of HD-Rec There'll be a new beta demo version of HD-Rec available for download before Christmas. "HD-Rec" is a MIDI and audio sequencer, i.e. audio and MIDI recordings can be arranged in the same window and replayed synchronously. Particular improvements in V0.9beta: Audio mixer with 16+1+1 true stereo channels and 4 Aux ways realtime audio effects (reverb, delay, chorus, equalizer...) strongly improved softsynth "Sweeper" (resonance filter, samples) The aim of HD-Rec is to be able to do a whole music production from the composing to the mastering within one application. Using the softsynth and the audio effects of HD-Rec you'll need no external sound producer or effects devices. The music signal doesn't leave the computer at no time and can be exported directly as WAV or MP3 file. The quality is always excellent and independant from the sound card. Noise, buzzing or whimping are now part of the past. The whole scenery (mixer settings, effects, sounds, notes) are saved on the computer and are reproduced 1:1 when being reloaded. The softsynth "Sweeper" offers independant from the computing power always exact sample timing and can be played in realtime via an external master keyboard if needed. Though, for this you need a fast computer with 500 MHz clock or more. Sweeper has very different synthesis algorithms and supports multisamples. Because of this, a wide sound spectrum is possible, from the old C64 sound across Techno to a realistic piano or string ensemble. HD-Rec is a system friendly 68K application and doesn't make any use of the custom chips - therefore it runs on the "classic" Amiga as well as under WinUAE and Amithlon. In addition, the program has already successfully been tested under MorphOS. Screenshots: http://www.hd-rec.de/index.php?site=screenshots Demo songs: http://www.hd-rec.de/index.php?site=download (Neither have external effects or sound producers been used nor have any samples been included except the drums and the piano solo.)
