Latest installation ISOs for Debian Sid/m68k
Recently the latest installation CDs for Debian "Sid", which is the "unstable" developer branch of the Linux distribution, have been released on the official Debian server (Youtube video of the installation on an Atari Falcon). Experienced users who want to help debugging are very welcome to take part in the discussion on the Debian-68k mailing list or on the IRC (#debian-68k on OFTC). Debian at least requires a 68020 processor and a MMU. Due to the size the kernel image probably has to be extracted before it is booted.

Operating system: FreeMiNT distribution for Vampire
MiNT ("Mint is now TOS") is the successor of Ataris TOS with multitasking functionality. Stefan Niestegge has arranged a distribution of the open source operating system which now is called FreeMiNT for Amiga computers equipped with a Vampire accelerator board. Before it can be used, the Amiga port of EmuTOS has to be loaded from a disk which then starts FreeMiNT from CF card.

Amiga disks on PC: ADF-Drive 0.625
ADF-Copy is an USB adapter which, connected to a ordinary PC disk drive, can read and write Amiga disks - provided that the disks are not copy-protected. The floppy port is connected to a Teensy 3.2 micro controller by using some jumpers controlled by the firmware of the micro controller.
Changes in version 0.625:
- Time and Date for Amiga Files and the ADF Image
- watchdog timer: resets the microcontroller after 8 seconds a fatal error occured
- the internal LED of the Teensy used for signalling errorcodes:
- 3 flashes then pause: read error
- 5 flashes then pause: write error
- slow flashing: out of memory error (might also cause a reset by watchdog)
- fast flashing: no floppy drive detected or hardware error
- read / write errors are also displayed as a message as the "DF0:" drivename
- formatting of HD Disks with the MTP interface should work now, HD support is still very fragile
- improved error handling
- bumped up the read and write retries
- improved compatibility with Windows 7

Ancient Format Decompressor: Decompressing files
"Ancient Format Decompressor" is a "collection of decompression routines for ancient formats popular in the Amiga, Atari computers (and others) from 80's and 90's as well as including some current ones that were used in a some specific way in these systems." A lot of formats are supported like Powerpacker, CrunchMania or Rob Northern Compressors "automatically detected in most cases."
Currently the "Ancient Format Decompressor" has to be compiled by oneself. The program then should work on all modern systems. Additional to the command line application there is also an API which can be used by external applications.

On top of that MUI Royale comes with extensive documentation in over 300 PDF pages which are also available in HTML, AmigaGuide and CHM format thanks to the Hollywood documentation system.

According to Trevor Dickinson in his latest blog entry, Amiga fan and filmemaker Charles Paek has asked him if A-EON could provide a X5000 for a professional advertising spot for a chain of hair salons as a prop. Of course Dickinson could and therefore the X5000 now can be seen in the latest advertising spot for the US-American "Supercuts" which has 9000 branches.

FriendUP: François Lionet is working on an AMOS port
FriendUP is an Amiga inspired operating system which runs in the web browser (amiga-news.de reported). In a statement on Facebook, one of the developers, the French programmer François Lionet, has told that in his spare time he is working on a port for AMOS of FriendUP.
He wrote: "AMOS code (or ascii AMOS code) will be converted into Javascript calls to AMOS library, that will render the display in a Canvas. You will also be able to program directly in Javascript and call the AMOS library. It will accept real AMOS files, and convert images into PNGs, sounds into MPG or WAV etc. opening the door to the immense collection of AMOS PD games and apps."

MorphOS: MUI class Epub.mcc 0.3
Carsten Siegner's Epub.mcc is a MUI class vor viewing ebooks of the EPUB format. The archive also includes two demo programs for viewing ebooks and svg files. In version 0.3 support for CSS was added which illustrates the following screenshot comparing Epub.mcc and OWB:
The CSS parser currently only interprets text styles, picture styles still are not implemented. According to Siegner pages which have been completely written SVG can be viewed without any problems.

SDL support for Hollywood: RebelSDL 1.0
Press release: Summer's over and Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are back on your screen with a brand-new plugin for Hollywood: RebelSDL. RebelSDL is a plugin for Hollywood that allows you to use SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) from Hollywood. This makes it possible to write scripts that utilize the host system's graphics hardware to create high-performance, butter-smooth 2D animation that is produced completely in hardware by the GPU of your graphics board. This leads to a huge performance boost over the classic Hollywood graphics API which is mostly implemented in software for maximum portability and compatibility. Especially systems with slower CPUs (like the Raspberry Pi) will benefit greatly from hardware-accelerated drawing, scaling, and transformation offered by SDL.
RebelSDL transparently replaces Hollywood's inbuilt display handler with its own display handler managed by SDL. Whenever RebelSDL is activated, Hollywood displays are automatically mapped to SDL windows and hardware brushes are mapped directly to SDL textures so that they can be drawn, scaled, and transformed in an extremely quick way on all supported systems. This is especially useful on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux because Hollywood doesn't support hardware double buffers and hardware brushes on these platforms by default. With RebelSDL, however, hardware double buffers and hardware brushes can be used on these platforms now too. So RebelSDL can also act as a helper plugin here which adds this functionality to Hollywood without having you write a single line of SDL code to utilize it!
On top of that, RebelSDL offers wrapper functions for some useful commands of the SDL API, for example RebelSDL allows you to call SDL's joystick and game controller functions which are much more flexible than Hollywood's inbuilt joystick library. RebelSDL also allows you to access Hollywood hardware brushes as SDL textures and modify their properties via some dedicated SDL calls exposed by RebelSDL.
Finally, RebelSDL also replaces Hollywood's inbuilt audio driver with the audio driver offered by SDL. In contrast to the graphics driver SDL's audio driver probably doesn't have any advantage over Hollywood's inbuilt audio driver but by using it RebelSDL will turn your program into a complete SDL application which doesn't only use SDL for graphics output but also for audio output.
RebelSDL utilizes the new display adapter plugin interface introduced with Hollywood 6.0. It was actually written as a test case 3 years ago when Hollywood 6.0's display and audio adapter plugin interfaces were designed. Because RebelSDL uses these new Hollywood 6 plugin interfaces it will not work with any older versions of Hollywood. It requires at least Hollywood 6.0. Whenever RebelSDL is activated, all graphics and audio output will automatically be routed through SDL. To benefit from hardware-accelered drawing, however, Hollywood scripts have to follow some rules as described in the manual.
RebelSDL comes with extensive documentation in various formats like PDF, HTML, AmigaGuide, and CHM that contains information about how to use this plugin. The manual is also available online for quick access. On top of that, many example scripts are included in the distribution archive to get you started really quickly.
All of this makes RebelSDL the ultimate scripting experience for all you SDL rebels by combining the best of both worlds into one powerful plugin: Hollywood's extensive and convenient multimedia function set and SDL's raw graphics power!
Amiga users please note that currently only MorphOS is supported. There are no SDL2 ports for OS3 and AROS and the OS4 version of RebelSDL is currently on hold due to technical difficulties. The MorphOS version is also rather unstable but this is because MorphOS' SDL2 port seems to be in alpha state.

Amiga disks on PC: ADF-Drive supports Amiga filesystems
ADF-Copy is an USB adapter which, connected to a ordinary PC disk drive, can read and write Amiga disks - provided that the disks are not copy-protected. The floppy port is connected to a Teensy 3.2 micro controller by using some jumpers controlled by the firmware of the micro controller.
The latest beta version of the firmware now also supports Amiga filesystems, that means, single files can be read and written. As usual a disks is provided to the Host-PC via Media Transfer Protocol. If the disks has been formated by the Amiga filesystem, additional to the disk drive DF0: - for formating or reading/writing of ADF-Images - another drive is registered with the name of the disk:
So far the following features are offered:
- Reading and writing files
- Creating directories and deleting empty ones
- Formating DF0:
- HD Disks should work, but they are very fragile, writes might fail
Not (yet) working:
- Deleting full directories
- Renaming files and directories
- Time and date of files
- Many operations do not work under Windows XP, it simply is too old. But the separate application ADF-Copy works fine under XP
- When writing an adf image with drag and drop on DF0: the Name of the filesystem drive isnt updating correctly
The author points out, that this software is a beta version. He recommends to enable write protection of the disks or zu work with test disks. And he wrote:"After a write access wait for the drive light to go off and the motor stop before removing the disk, due to avoid excessive disk access i use some methods to cache the track and write modified track only on track change or shortly before stopping the motor."

Trademark disputes: yet another party wants to own "Amiga" (Update)
In the US and Germany, the registration for the "Amiga" trademark already expired. It's still a registered mark in the EU until May next year, but nobody really expects the current owner to ever do something with that registration again. As a result, Hyperion Entertainment (AmigaOS 4) and Cloanto (Amiga Forever) started fighting for various Amiga marks earlier this year.
Apparently, another competitor has entered the ring now: on August 30, somebody named Heinz-Alexander Drews applied to have the "Amiga" mark registered in his name at the German patent and trademark office. On the same day, using the same law firm, somebody -the applicant's personal details are not public yet - also filed an application for the same mark with the European Intellectual Property Office.
It's important to note that both the German and the European mark would collide with Amiga, Inc.'s existing EU trademark. In contrast to Cloanto - who only started the process to register the US "Amiga" mark in its name the day after Amiga Inc.'s original registration expired - Drews seems to count on the current owner of the mark not defending his IP - which gives him a head start, compared to other parties interested in inheriting the mark.
It's currently not clear if Heinz-Alexander Drews is connected to any companies or individuals in the Amiga market.
Update: (10.09.2017, 17:40, cg)
Another attempt at gaining control over some Amiga mark has been discovered: Back in march, Amikit-Developer Ján Zahurančík applied to have "Amiga" registered in his name in his home country Slovakia. The new application was published - i.e. approved - in early August. (cg) (Translation: cg)

Workbench history: Why was "Disk doctor" so spectacularly bad at its job?
In an article at auf amiga.org, Olaf 'Olsen' Barthel has explained, why "DiskDoctor" - known from the first generation of the Workbench - worked so bad and could not successfully repair disks. Since the middle of the 90ies Barthel has been working with the source codes of AmigaOS and was involved developing AmigaOS 3.5, 3.9 4.0 and 4.1.

Status update: Web browser Netsurf under AGA (update)
In May it turned out that the current version of Artur Jarosik's SDL-based port of Netsurf could only be used with a graphics board. Daniel Reimann, an editor of amiga-news.de, has contacted Jarosik to find out how the development status is regarding a version supporting AGA - and received a current, AGA-compatible version of the browser.
In this version, which now also is available on the website of the author, about 70% of the starts of the program works fine and Netsurf can be used without any problems. The other 30% percent Netsurf can happen to start extremely slow or the screen stays black sometimes flickering blue and the lamp of the harddrive lights up continuously.
The following pictures show Netsurf with an AGA-scale of 71% (instead of the given 75%). Using this figure, most of the texts can be read without being cut. The third picture shows the MUI-based preferences which currently do not completely work: The options set in the "General" tab are not saved.
This version does not seem to be significantly faster but it is fun to look at the appearance and the typeface of Netsurf. Towards amiga-news.de Jarosik explained, that recently he has focused porting games but obviously also Netsurf is developed further occasionally. The AGA-version includes the same changes which are listed on the website of the author for the RTG-version.
Update: (21.09.2017, 06:20, dr)
Meanwhile Artur Jarosik has released two other beta versions of Netsurf 3.7 which fixes the auto-update bug under AGA as well as the problem that some options of the general preferences have not been saved. All those features now work fine. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Emulation of Sam 460 using QEMU in development
According to a mail on the QEMU-PPC mailing list Zoltan Balaton is working on an emulation of a Sam-460 using QEMU. In the first status report (middle of August) he described that AROS as well as MorphOS could boot, but finally failed due to different problems. Balaton could not test AmigaOS, because he does not own a copy of AmigaOS 4.1 besitzt.
The emulator QEMU emulates or virtualizes alot of computers or processors. If the host system has a suitable processor, QEMU does not have to emulate it - so Balaton's project could succeed in emulating Sam 460 operating systems under different PPC hardware - e.g. Apple-Hardware .
On a common Windows-PC, QEMU would have to emulate the PPC-CPU, but would not have to emulate the complex custom chip emulation, which is currently required to run AmigaOS 4 "Classic" under WinUAE.

Javascript: TAWS - The Amiga Workbench Simulation 0.28
TAWS ("The Amiga Workbench Simulation") is a Javascript simulation of the Amiga-Workbench 1.0 - 4.1 for Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Apple-WebKit-Browser (including Odyssey).
Any kind of feedback the author Michael Rupp would very appreciate. He still is searching for support for the French translation. His work can be supported by a little donation from inside TAWS.
Changes of version 0.28:
-
Tribute to AmiKit X: New preset "OS 3.9 AmiKitX" incl. boot animation. Accordingly there is a new window layout "3.9 AmiKitX" in "Preferences", a new iconset "AmiKit X", a new cursor "AmiKit X" and the new patterns "AmiKit X Backdrop". Many thanks to Jan Zahurancik (AmiKit) for granting the use of the graphics. Direct call using the url parameter "preset"
- Complete polish localisation - many thanks to 'Piana' Pianka
- Support for browser "SeaMonkey", even with about:config setting "general.useragent.compatmode.firefox" set to "false".
-
ListBox:
- new look with the styles "Thin" and "Thin XEN"
- new look in "Amiga Early Startup Control / Boot Options" for OS 4.x
- scrollbar grabber with the OS4-style
- new look of arrow buttons for the "OS 3.9"-layout
- Chrome / Opera: improvement when determining the user language: it's no longer the browser language that is recognized but the actual prefered-by-user language.
-
Bugfixes:
- Timberwolf stopped working since v0.25 ("Uncaught Exception" when trying to set the attribute "transform" on a CSS style). Implemented a workaround for that.
- Palette: setting the text color for inactive widows only worked once.
- Window gadgets where set to "active" on a mouse-up event issued by a drag'n'drop operation even when the window itself was inactive.
- Firefox: correction of the text padding to the color boxes in the listbox of the "Palette"
- Chrome / Opera in "Amiga Early Startup Control": correction of the border in "Expansion Board Diagnostic" and the buttons height
- Odyssey Web Browser: the boot image for OS 4.1 FE was not shown.
