Emulator: WinUAE 4.1.0
Version 4.1.0 of the Amiga emulator WinUAE has been released which again provides several new features:

PC Bridgeboard (A1060 Sidecar, A2088, A2088T, A2286 and A2386SX) emulation rewrite
  • Emulation core replaced with PCem. Compatibility has improved greatly, for example Windows 3.x enhanced mode, DOS extenders and Windows 95 are now fully working.
  • Bridgeboard built-in CGA emulation graphics corruption fixed.
  • A2386SX VLSI chipset memory remapping, shadowing and EMS fully supported.
  • Cirrus Logic emulation PC compatibility improved, 2M VRAM, linear frame buffer and blitter support.
  • PC Speaker emulation (PCem)
  • Sound Blaster emulation (PCem, various models)
  • Serial mouse emulation (PCem)
  • SCSI adapter emulation (Rancho Technology RT1000B)
Other updates
  • AGA hires/superhires horizontal pixel positioning and borderblank horizontal single hires pixel offset fully emulated. Optional because it requires much more CPU power and it is rarely needed. DIWHIGH H0/H1 AGA-only bits emulated.
  • AGA FMODE>0 undocumented features implemented (BPLxDAT, SPRxDAT CPU/copper accesses, bitplane modulos that are not integer divisible by fetch size)
  • Added new misc option which captures mouse immediately when windowed/full-window winuae window is activated.
  • 68030 MMU emulation compatibility improved.
  • Paula disk emulation GCR MSBSYNC support added (Alternate Reality protection track).
  • Added quick search and quick directory select to Configurations panel. Link and autoload moved to Advanced information panel.
  • Added history list to config file name edit box and to statefile path string box.
  • Added vertical offset option to D3D scanlines.
  • 64-bit version didn't support 64-bit unrar.dll.
  • 68030/040/060 with data cache emulation but without enabled MMU emulation: force Chip RAM as non-data cacheable.
  • Magic mouse Windows cursor to Amiga mouse sync partially fixed.
  • Window corners now work as drag'n'drop hot spots for different floppy drives. (top/left=0, top/right=1, bottom/left=2, bottom/right=3).
Bug fixes
  • 68020 + memory cycle exact hung the emulator in some situations.
  • Reading CIA interrupt status register in a very tight loop generated spurious interrupt(s) in certain situations.
  • Softfloat mode with unimplemented FPU emu ticked didn't disable 68040/060 unmasked interrupts, confusing 68040/68060.library and possibly causing it to return incorrect values.
  • Some CHD CD images didn't mount correctly.
  • uaehf.device HD_SCSICMD didn't set scsi_SenseActual. Also set io_Actual=30 (=sizeof(struct SCSICmd))
  • If config file had KS ROM path/file that didn't exist, it was replaced with non-existing ../system/rom/kick.rom path or was not correctly fixed with valid path.
  • NCR53F94 SCSI chip emulation DMA counter fix (affected for example Blizzard SCSI Kit)
  • Very large directory harddrives returned halved used/free space.
  • Fixed multiple problems with screenshots and video recording from hardware emulated RTG board.
  • Filter panel scanlines work now correctly in multimonitor mode.
  • Crash fixed if more than one non-Paula audio stream was active. Included emulated sound cards, also CD audio if "include" option ticked.
  • NE2000 PCMCIA and NE2000 bridgeboard didn't support custom MAC and network mode selection.
  • Fixed hardware emulated graphics board hang with Picasso96 if board supported vblank interrupts and RTG board refresh rate mode was not Chipset.
  • Fixed statefile crash when saving statefile while disk operation was active and disk image included bit cell timing information.
Bug fixes (Introduced in 4.0.0/4.0.1):
  • Display port adapters that needed genlock transparency data (FireCracker, HAM-E, OpalVision, ColorBurst) didn't work correctly since 4.0.0.
  • Display port adapters didn't work in multimonitor mode.
  • Blitter statesave with blitter active: log window opened and listed few lines of blitter debug information.
  • Some programs caused continuous flood of "blitter is active, forcing immediate finish" log messages.
  • CTRL+F11 quit ignored new "Warn when attempting to close window" option.
  • 68020/030 more compatible/cycle-exact mode statefiles didn't always restore properly.
New emulated hardware:
  • CSA Twelwe Gauge (A1200 68030 accelerator + SCSI controller)
  • AccessX/Acetec IDE controller.

Cross-Development: Atom package for Amiga Syntax Highlighting
The package "language-amigaos-c" for the text editor Atom provides syntax highlighting for the AmigaOS-API.

The update which was released adds a new menu item "New project" with a ready to compile makefile and Hello World code as well as "a requester where you can create a generic new subclass code for any superclass of your choice". Additional to "a shortcut to package settings", "auto-complete now also suggests specific values and identifiers for each API function, when your cursor is on the argument that requires one (including functions that get varrag tag items)."

Patch and commodity collection: MCP 1.49c
MCP 1.49c already has been available for two years but only as part of Amikit. The update fixes a bug if MCP is used with an emulator with "Virtual Mouse Driver" enabled: This function now is compatible with the MCP patch "Solid Window Moving & Sizing". The MCP patch CycleToMenu does not work with Virtual Mouse Driver enabled: According to the MCP author this problem must be fixed in the emulator.

MCP 1.49c only is distributed as update for existing MCP installations. If you still have not MCP installed first you have to download and install the archive MCP 1.48. (cg) (Translation: dr)

The team of #amigazeux has released some new screenbar plugins for MorphOS:
  • DateTime is a configurable replacement for MorphOS titlebar clock and shows the date and time.
  • Mousecoords will show current X and Y mouse coordinates on the screen.
  • PixelPicker reveals the information about a pixel (or at least its colour) in a neat display in the screen's titlebar.
  • While clicking TopTasks it opens a window showing the top 10 tasks currently hogging all your precious CPU time.
  • Notch basically displays a very popular and configurable Notch in the screen title.

AmigaOS 4: X11 environment AmiCygnix 1.4
Edgar Schwan's AmiCygnix is an Unix environment for AmigaOS 4. It is not an emulation but all programms are nativly compiled for AmigaOS 4. AmiCygnix provides a directory and data structure which is similar to a Unix installation.

After a long break of development now new versions of the basic archives have been released. Mainly bugs were fixed which did prevent X-Servers from correctly working on new Amiga systems.

New in AmiCygnix-Base:
  • All display drivers and the X server binary were revised to fix the following problems:
    • With newer graphics cards like the Radeon HD 7xxx the colours of the display were wrong. This was completely fixed in the drivers picasso96clonewbdb and picasso96wb.

File system: smbfs 2.1 released after two years of development
In last two years smbfs was comprehensively revised and rewritten for the SMBv1/CIFS protocol based on the historical and official documents.

The new smbfs 2.1 improves the robustness and compatibilty of the file system which e.g. can access NAS systems and corresponding computers. The support of Unicode, big files (> 4 GB) and resuming of interrupted connections to the data server were added. A lot of bug fixes were done as well. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Demo scene: Haujobb provides self-developed demo framework
For the development of their demos, the demo group Haujobb uses a self-developed framework including a cross-platform, vbcc-based development environment. The framework is called "WickedOS" and offers programmers of assembler e.g. access to 20 different chunky-To-planer screen modes, several music playback routines and interrupt entry points. Additional to a traditional "Multi Tasking Killer" mode, there is also multitasking environment including hardware abstraction layer.

As target architecture for the framework upgraded Amigas are specified, AGA, a 68020 and a FPU are minimum required. The framework itself will be released little by little on Github as well as the corresponding documents completed.

Already in August both Haujobb programmers 'Hellfire' and 'Noname' did introduce their ihre method of cross-platform demo development in a speech. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Individual Computers: Advance orders for ACA500plus and Indivision ECS V2
Press release: For the second production run of the ACA500plus, we've done a few small upgrades to adapt the card to the needs of our customers that were communicated in support cases and other customer feedback. Some customers were not satisfied with the speed of the card, which is why we have changed to the new CPU type 68SEC000. For this processor we can't just guarantee 14.1MHz, but stable operation up to 21MHz. It is of course still possible to set the CPU frequency to up to 42MHz, but since this is very demanding for the power supply regulation and cooling, this is not covered by standard customer support.

We've also updated the DisMo: The 2-digit display is now bigger, and the status LED is not two- but three-colour. The button has been moved to a more ergonomic position. Despite these upgrades, the increase in price for the ACA500plus is very moderate.

When Indivision ECS was released in 2009, scan line emulation was still special. Over the years, other products and emulators have copied our idea. We've now refined this feature: The scan line emulation in Indivision ECS V2 can be carefully adjusted, so the effect can be set according to individual taste.

We often got questions about how to adjust the picture to be full-screen. Often times, this was not possible without adding black bars around the picture, because the resolution of the Amiga-output had an unfavourable size relation to the resolution of the screen. With the new upscaler in Indivision ECS V2, it is now much simpler to adjust the picture size and keep the correct aspect ratio. The scaler of Indivision ECS V2 is geared towards keeping the "pixel-art" appearance of the picture, and can be adjusted in very small steps to introduce only the lowest-possible blur that's always introduced by a scaler.

We have entered a delivery date of december 22nd for both products. However, we will already start shipping next week, but cannot guarantee when a shipment will leave here due to the high demand for both products. Parcels will be shipped in the order of incoming money transfers. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Hyperion resumes selling digital version of AmigaOS 3.1.4
On 19. October the sale of Hyperion's AmigaOS 3.1.4 was interrupted for a short time: Amiga Inc. had sent Hyperion's service provider for digital sales a cease and desist letter. The Belgian company evades the problem by changing the service provider but 10 days later also this service was stopped. First it was communicated as stop initiated by Hyperion itself because the physical sets with ROMs and disks now were available in shops.

Using a facebook poll last weekend Hyperion wanted to know if there is still interest in the digital edition. Today it was announced that the company were happy to fulfill the customer wish and to offer AmigaOS 3.1.4 again as payable download.

Obviously it was not necessary to change the service provider again: the "Buy Now!" links refer to shareit.com aka MyCommerce. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Web browser: NetSurf 3.8 updated again (SDL version) (Update)
A few days ago Artur Jarosik has released a new update of his Amiga port of the web browser NetSurf. His port uses SDL, only the preferences pane is based on MUI, and is not to be confused with the Chris Young's native, Reaction-based version.

Our editor Daniel Reimann has tested the update on his Amiga 1200 equipped with Blizzard-1230 accelerator board and Amiga OS 3.9. Additional to bug fixes (details under the title link) now Netsurf again can access https websites. The required "ca-bundle" file in the "resources" folder was missing in the archives before.

Starting Netsurf on the Amiga1200 proved to be rather difficult. Often Netsurf loaded and stopped doing it with a black screen. It also could happen that the first blank screen was loaded and then the icons of the menu appeared very slowly: Loading an icon took several seconds. But if Netsurf properly started then the browser runs stable. Compared with the native version, this SDL port provided by Artur Jarosik presents the website in a more comfortable way: The characters are clear and the sites are viewed in a compact design (screenshots: amiga-news.de, netsurf-browser.org).

Surprisingly Netsurf takes "only" 37 seconds to load amiga-news.de which is a https connection (pictures enabled, pictures disables it takes about 32 seconds) but loading aminet.net it takes 60 seconds (53 seconds without pictures). Working with the SDL version of Netsurf is quite confortable because the websites are scaled in this way that you do not have to scroll across. I guess that this operation is more complex at the amiga-news.de website.

In order to exclude the reasons of instability during the start process are due to the special configuration environment of the Amiga1200, our editor would be grateful for feedback in the comment section, e.g. by users working with emulators.

Update: (17:28, 18.11.18, snx)

Further warnings concerning AmigaOS 3.1.4
According to the author of the Amiga Documents report on Twitter he has "reliable source indicates that Avangate, Digital River, Amiga on the Lake and Alinea Computers received cease and desist notices jointly from three companies: Amiga, Amino (Amiga Washington) and Itec." The mentioned traders have been the only ones which after the disputes about the distribution of the digital edition offered the "hardware" version with disks and ROMs in their shops.

That corresponds to the statement of our own source which we asked for confirmation. It is not surprising that the Amiga parties obviously try to prevent any distribution of AmigaOS 3.1.4 which in their opinion is an infringement. Single customers of the German trader Alinea already have received the ROMs and disks. It is not known if now the distribution was stopped - some purchasers (again) report on email notifications saying that the product only will be available in a few days again. (cg) (Translation: dr)
