Oddity: The late registration of "Settlers"
amiga-news.de reader Amaris has sent his registration of Settlers to BlueByte with a delay of 14 years. Strange enough his registration was rewarded with a present from Ubisoft: It contained the game "The Settlers - Rise of an Empire" and a t-shirt.

Amiga Future needs Help
Press release: We need help for the print edition of the Amiga Future. We are looking especially for an editor for apps and games on the classic Amiga. If you are familiar with these topics and your native language is German or English then please contact us via email. Furthermore we are looking for translators for the English print edition. In this case the native language has to be English.
But for our homepage we are looking for support aswell. We need someone to help us regularly or only once with the download database.
It is about testing all downloads on the homepage, writing short descriptions, making screenshots and getting more data.
Our link database needs help aswell. There more links to be added and already existing ones have to be checked if they are valid. For the article section we are looking for someone who wants to do some interviews.
The same holds true for workshops. It doesn't matter whether for the page or the magazine. We need good workshops. Do you know an application very well? Then please write us an email.
At this point we want to remind all people ordering single issues and users with expired subscriptions to order the next issue as soon as possible or to extend the subscription. This way we can calculate the print run much better. The Amiga Future is a non profit project for us. We cannot take the financial risk and print more copies than preorders.
Issue 67 has been completely sold out. We have still some copies of issue 68. In our onlineshop there are only a few copies of The Global Amiga Experience CD left.

Web Browser: IBrowse status update
Oliver "Futaura" Roberts of Ibrowse team gives a short overview of the current status of the web browser in a thread on amigaworld.net:
Reportedly, IBrowse is not currently purchasable, but several distributors have already shown interest. As soon as Stefan Burström, the holder of rights, has a little more time on his hands, he will attend to this problem.
After the quite stressful release of IBrowse 2.4, the team initially treated itself to a short time-out, but since that time, the next version is being worked on again. David Burström has already invested much work in an OS4 port - which requires considerably more effort than one would assume at the first moment, because of the SAS/C dependency of the sources and the partial use of 68K assembler - Roberts himself is working on the completion of this version now.
A CSS parser already exists, too, but the parser is the smaller problem - the still missing adaptation of the layout engine is associated with considerably more work.
IBrowse 3.0 should be released as soon as possible and primarily establish a stable, expandable basis for further updates. Though this means that CSS will not be completely supported yet in this first version - it allows the team to pass on further improvements to the user faster in the form of more regular updates.

AROS64: Status update
In his blog, Michal Schulz delivers insight into the current development status of his AROS adaptation to the x86-64 architecture (Bounty 21). So reportedly, the operating system is already bootable from CD and offers partial MMU support. The kernel is partly protected.
Now it is necessary to eliminate all the errors which first become evident on a 64 bit system: first in Zune and Wanderer, afterwards in the remaining standard components of AROS. Furthermore, as many architecture dependencies as possible should be relocated to kernel.resource. (snx) (Translation: cad)

Linux: openSUSE 10.3
Already on Thursday version 10.3 of the Linux-distribution openSUSE was published. This version is the first one with full support of the Efika-board developed by bplan.
But there are still installation problems if you try to intall directly from DVD which is probably caused by the SmartFirmware. You can fix that by using inst32-start.
Further information concerning Efika you can get in the English im openSUSE-Wiki. Additionally Peter Czanik has compiled a selection of Packman-packages to his Pegasos.

Back to the Roots: Status Information
Press release During the last week the Back to the Roots main archive was completely enabled again, All files are online again. Nearly all funtions are active again.
The archive is still located on our completely filled up
160GB server, but we opened it for your convenience while
we duplicate it to our new terabyte server during the next
weeks. After this we will have space again to continue
with site updates, which we expect around the end of the
year.
Once the new server is installed we will exchange both
machines, which might yield in some temporary inconveniences
for you, surely no big issue after the long wait...
After this, we will rework our current machine as a backup
mirror and team project server, where independent, topic
related non profit projects could find an advertising free
home, preferable people who want to help us to extend the
main archive with legal content.
Until we finished reworking all, our mail server will be
offline, due to the lack of disk space. Mails sent to
@back2roots.org addresses will be forwarded to NIL:, so
don\'t be upset if you contacted us and got no reply.
All mails ever sent from our online email form is not
lost, and will be responded with time.
Our FTP-Server will be updated once it\'s on the new machine.
Dozends of CDs are waiting to be placed online.
Today I (Ralf) found out that Fred Fish died in April (didn\'t
know that yet). What a shame, he\'s the pioneer of PD and open
source for me. May he rest in peace!
Before his death, Fred gave us the license to put all his
productions online at our site, as long as we request third
party rights separately. This makes it possible (and is a
historical duty too) to preserve Fred\'s complete binary
life work legally for everybody.
That\'s why we are searching for everything which carries
his name. Please have a look at your collections (originals)
and send us lists together with the respective copyright notes
(in case of third party involved) to me, if you want to help.
If you are one of these 3rd party copyright holders, please
consider helping us with a license for your part.
We also search original disk images (ADF, DMS, etc, not lha)
of his FF/AmigaLib series for preservating them in their
original form.
Thanks, Fred. We will never forget you! (snx)

CD32: Arcade-game Frog Feast
Frog Feast is a little arcade-game which were published as commercial game two years ago and
since then was ported to nearly each 16 or 32Bit-console
(screenshot (Neo Geo CD),
advertising (CD32)).
Meanwhile the CD32-port is in progress which probably will be distributed by
oldergames.com.
A first demo-version is available at megaupload.com - but
its main goals are compatibility tests: An important element of the game is still missing in this version - the fly
which is to be caught.
The CD-image which is available at megaupload has to be burned with low burning speed. The demo version was
only tested with NTSC-devices.

AROS: new HD-Installer
The new HD installer is now included on the nightly ISO and is ready for testing. However, there's currently a bug in either Wanderer or FFS that needs to be worked around. After startng the installer, you need to quit Wanderer before continuing (unless you're not going to format any partitions).
Be even more careful than usual with this version of the installer, ie. don't expose a machine with unbacked-up valuable data to it. It should preserve all existing partitions if requested, but no one has tested this so far besides me. (cg) (Translation: aj)

Flayer 1.0 Beta 2
On September 18 already, Robert Williams has made available a second beta version of his ARexx script Flayer, in which YouTube support was restored and support for Google Video, which had also become useless, was removed. In addition, a warning is now displayed when no supported FLV player is found.
Flayer makes Flash videos usable for AmigaOS users, too. For this purpose, the script scans the displayed web page for the URL of the video and saves this to the hard disk, from which it can then be displayed using MPlayer. (snx) (Translation: cad)

AmigaOS 4: AmiFTP 1.900
The Swedish dealer Guru Meditation has succeeded to obtain the sources to the Reaction-based FTP client AmiFTP (screenshot) from the original author Magnus Lilja. The program will continue to be distributed as freeware, Joachim Birging has assumed further development. Changes in version 1.900:
- Ported AmiFTP to OS4 by Joachim Birging
- Added AmiDock support. Use the new tooltype DOCKY to enable it
- Also changed prefs to use application.library instead of the old IFF
format. The old format can still be imported from the settings menu
- Small changes to the GUI to reflect ReAction changes made in OS4. This
is an old ClassAct program, remember.
- Changed the old images in the SpeedBar to use Mason's AISS images instead.
- Removed all ReqTools.library references and changed them to either ASL
or ReActions Requester class.
- Added support for AmiUpdate.
- Fixed the fuelgauge in the transfer window.
- Added "Save last dir visited" checkbox to the site edit window. AmiFTP can now save the last dir you were in.
- Added Save prefs silently option to main prefs.
- Removed the buttons at the bottom of the window. Since SpeedBar can be
text-only now you can configure AmiFTP to use text-only buttons at the top
instead.
- Replace string + button with GetFile/GetFont where appropriate.
- Added mouse wheel support in main window and site list.

Back to the Roots: Status information
In the meantime, since the most diverse speculations on the whereabouts of the back2roots.org main archive have spread in the Amiga and emulation community, which is well-versed in rumors, here is a brief status update:
The BTTR server was never disconnected, but ran technically unattended for the last two years (more precisely, since the summer of 2005). Since everything is automated except for updates, this was initially not a problem either.
Surely, everyone has noticed that we suffered under massive disk space bottlenecks and our update frequency became ever sparser. Then, through appeals for donations, we have tried to afford financing our further growth (and we still have a lot up our sleeves) with the help of the community.
A considerable amount of donations came together, too, so that for now, nothing stands in the way of the project's future. But now, a complete disruption of the hard disk storage unit came by, despite all the stability of the automation in the absence of the programmer Ralf Steines (hippie2000) from the Net. In the process, important parts of the BTTR engine were overwritten with empty files. Surely, everyone has seen the result...
Anyway, Ralf is back, the core of the team is reunited, and right now, we are working on the reconstruction of the server which is located at the University of Trondheim, to make possible the next growth of the project.
To all those who have donated until now: Count on it that everything arrived and will now be used (or was already used) for the specified purpose. All others are still welcome to participate. You can find details on back2roots.org.
In the next weeks, we are reconstructing everything, reinstalling the machines, configuring everything, in order to be available to you soon in old glory again. Afterwards, it goes on with new updates.
Till then, the page is available symbolically with limited functionality, so that everyone can see that we are back, so please, a little patience still.
Best regards,
Your back2roots.org team (snx) (Translation: cad)

Instant Messenger: Jabberwocky 1.8b6 (beta)
Jabberwocky is an MUI-based Instant-Messaging-Client for AmigaOS 3/4 and MorphOS which is able to access different messaging-networks (e.g. AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo) with the help of so called server modules. Changes since version 1.7:
- Fixed a crash that occurred when a "topic" was entered in the conference
window before joining a converence.
- Account window "connect" & "register" buttons are now disabled when
Jabberwocky is connected.
- Changed menus to disable Roster menu and roster contextmenu when
Jabberwocky is not connected. Some menuitems are disabled if there
is an empty roster when Jabberwocky connects.
- Fixed a crash in network discovery function that resulted from
attempting to visit a jabber server in the agents window with
Jabberwocky not yet connected to a Jabber server.
- Added loading and saving of codeset prefs and activated existing
"Charset" GUI elements in prefs.
- Merged in code diffs for charset conversion in chat windows.
Charset conversion is untested at this point.
- Fixed long standing bug in prefs loading of an event command with quotes
and the quotes appear as they should instead of escaped XML.
- Added some serial debugging that can be activated when a "Debug" version
of Jabberwocky is compiled.
- Added functions to obtain external IPA address from Jabberwocky homepage
for file transfers through a Router.
- Added prefs item to activate the external IP address retrieval.
- Updated Iksemel library to latest available version.
- Added "usedclasses" identifier and array so that only the external classes
actually used by Jabberwocky will be listed in the MUI preferences. This
only works for v20+ MUI and will be ignored by older MUI versions.
- Updated locale catalogs and added Swedish catalog.
- Localize main window status messages.

Emulator: WinUAE 1.4.4
The WinUAE-team has published a new version of the well-known Amiga emulator for Windows. Changes since the last release:
New features:
- major directory filesystem emulation update:
- removable drive automounting on the fly (USB memory, USB HD, memory
cards, any removable drive that mounts as a drive letter in Windows)
- drag'n'drop directory/archive automount
- more missing filesystem packets supported (including ACTION_EXAMINE_ALL)
- major "Add Harddrive" uaehf.device update:
-
- removable drives (real harddrives, x-in-one memory card readers, zip drives, etc..) supported on the fly
- configured drive but no media or [USB] drive not connected when emulation was started: automounted when inserted (no RDB automount yet)
- empty drives listed in "Add Harddrive" dialog.
- X-Power Professional v1.3 and Nordic Power v1.5 support
- Pro-Wizard module ripper updated to v1.62
- hq2x filter added.
- Added two basic A4000 quickstart configurations.
- More accurate CD32/CDTV end of audio track detection.
- Current configuration name added to window title.
Bugs fixed:
- Windows 2000: "Add Harddrive" was always disabled.
- "Add Harddrive" HD controller selection was missing.
- Better compatibility with OS 3.1 and older HDToolbox versions.
- CD32 statefile support works again.
- Paths handling updates (yet again..)
- Disappearing mouse pointer in fullscreen modes when GUI was active.
- bsdsocket emulation crashing or freezing when emulation was reset.
- directory filesystem file/directory deletion failing and Windows
recycle bin support enabled returned wrong error codes.

Photos and news from Pianeta Amiga
This weekend in Empoli (Italy) the "Pianeta Amiga" takes place. ACube (Sam440ep), Hyperion (OS4) and other companies take part. Meanwhile first photos and news from the event are available:
Andrea "afxgroup" Palmate is currently porting the P2P-client Bourriquet which is based on eMule to AmigaOS 4 (screenshots: 1, 2).
At lightelements.com the first photos can be looked at. Additional to the PPC-motherboard Sam440ep, which is sold to customers for the first time, empty packages of the soon coming up operating system "AmigaOS 4"-classic version were shown at the event for preadvertising reasons. In this way ACube probably tries to reveal that the distribution of the classic version certainly will come.
If there will be further messages they will be announced as soon as possible.
