A. Schmidt / Aminet Recent Uploads (ANF)


Andreas Kleinert removes PPC/WOS datatypes from the Aminet (Update)
Andreas Kleinert has, like can be seen from the last extract of the recent file, removed his PPC/WOS datatypes from the Aminet by placing empty archives there.

The appended readme says the following:
PPC/WOS support for this datatypes has been dropped as with V45.1.

Update 26.09.2002:
We asked Andreas Kleinert via e-mail the following question: Might you give amiga-news.de a brief statement about the deletion of the PPC/WOS datatypes at the Aminet?

Andreas Kleinert:
"I just wanted to "clean up" a little bit ;-)

The support for WOS was even stopped earlier, WOS user had to use the ppclib-emu already.

The PPC support was abandoned with V45.1, regarding to the 68k only versions 45.x it would be irritating if the 44.x PPC modules were still left at he Aminet.

Those who would like to use the 44.x 68k datatypes with the 44.x PPC plugins should use the last recent public version from an Aminet CD. The (now) free keyfile is still available from the Aminet."

Within a comment someone wrote: If you don't like to continue to support the PPC versions of your datatypes it is your choice, but if you take the possibility for registered users to download the latest version of theses datatypes this is a shame in my view.

Andreas Kleinert:
This hasn't been my intention, I just wanted to avaoid trouble if people try to use the 44.x PPC plugins in addition to version 45.x . The PPC modules are still to get from the Aminet CDs. But one thing I have to state here: My personal opinion is that the Aminet should not have to be seen as a backup medium for everybody.

David Mevius has published version 5.6 of the id3tag library for reading and writing the ID3 tags (ID3V1, ID3V2) of MP3 files on Aminet. The ID3 tags contain information about the respective music title.

In details, ID3 versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 are supported.

Also contained within the archive are developer docs for C.

The library works from AmigaOS 3.x and CPU 68020. id3taglibPrefs requires Reaction or ClassAct.

Datatype: akPNG V45.3
Andreas Kleinert has published version 45.3 of his akPNG Datatype on Aminet. This version works with 68k Amigas including UAE and Amithlon.

The Datatype uses the current PNG source codes (zlib V1.1.4, libpng V1.2.4) and thus supports PNG files with up to 48 bits of colour information. These 48 bits are being reduced to 24 bits.

Flash: Swfplayer V1.2b
Alexandre Balaban has published version 1.2b of his standalone Shockwave player 'Swfplayer' on Aminet. The player is based on Olivier Debon's libflash for Linux.

This update is a quick rebuild of Paul Hill's version of the player in order to make use of the newest libflash version.

This version should have solved the problems with other CPUs than 68040 and the crash upon quitting the player. Apart from that, this version is in no way to be considered a bug fix, the emphasis lies solely in the use of the newest libflash version.

The player works on CPUs from 68040 and from AGA (i.e. also on GFX cards).

Printer: Epson V40 update by Hutchison will not be released
The update of Peter John Hutchison's Epson V40 printer driver will not be released. The reason for this is that his Epson printer has gone faulty (colour is not dispensed correctly), and he will probably switch to an HP printer.

Yet if somebody is interested in this driver, as far as it has been tested, they can turn to Peter John Hutchison via eMail (PJHutch@blizzard.u-net.com).

He also writes:
"I am not sure what AOS 4.x Printer support will be like, and it will be unlikely that I will be developing for it either. TurboPrint seems far better anyway." (sd) (Translation: cb)

Video: Frogger V2.03 (update)
Already on 16th September 2002, version 2.03 of the video player 'Frogger' has been released. This version contains many bug fixes and new codecs (3ivx, indeo, mace, vorbis). Additionally there are many optimisations of the video and audio decoders.

Download for 68k and PPC Amiga systems (WarpUP, PowerUp and MorphOS) is possible through the title link and frogger.highantdev.de.

Addendum 22th Sep 2002:
Please note for this update that due to the PlugIn API changes all external codecs have to be downloaded and installed again. Whereby the present video codecs might still run, which isn't the case for the audio codecs.
