MUI-class: MCC_BetterString 11.12
Jens Langner has published new versions of the following MUI-classes for AmigaOS 3.x, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS: BetterString.mcc and BetterString.mcp in version 11.12 as well as HotKeyString.mcc in version 12.8.

Changes:
  • mcc/hotkeystring: adapted documentation and minor tweaks to the sources of HotkeyString.mcc
  • mcc/BetterString_mcc.h: converted all MUIV_BetterString_DoAction_#? values to a named enum rather than simple defines
  • mcc: added new MUIM_BetterString_DoAction method which allows to manually perform certain actions like Copy/Cut/Paste,... which are normally just executed with the default shortcuts. This way the gadget can completly controlled remotely
  • mcc: added new MUIA_BetterString_NoShortcuts attribute that allows to disable the default shortcuts like Amiga+C, Amiga+V, etc. for applications interested in performing those operations manually
  • include/mccinit.c: updated to latest 1.10 version

Chiptune-Tracker: Hively-Tracker 1.4 for AmigaOS 3/4 and AROS
HivelyTracker is a tracker based on the AHX-format (screenshot). AHX was developed in the nineties to write songs which have the typical chip-sound of the SID (sound-chip of C64). Changes since version 1.3:
  • Playback no longer stops when the "Load Mod" filerequester is open
  • Undo & Redo for almost all edit operations
  • Cutting an area in the position editor cleared both columns of the left & right edges even if they weren't selected. Fixed.
  • Cutting or pasting in the position editor didn't update the track editor even if the current tracks were changed by the operation. Fixed.
  • If you change preference options that require the GUI to be closed and re-opened, it now does that instead of requiring you to quit and restart.
  • Skin directory, initial song directory and initial instrument directory options all now can be selected via ASL directory requester.
  • Right-clicking on a channel mute button now mutes all other channels except that channel. If it is already the only un-muted channel, all channels will be unmuted instead (suggested by Syphus).
  • Added "9xx" panning command to the instrument performancelist. It only changes the panning position for that specific instrument. The next time an instrument is played in that channel, it returns to the last panning position set with the traditional "7xx" track command.
  • Pasting or marking blocks in the position editor didn't work correctly if channel 1 wasn't the leftmost channel. Fixed.
  • Pressing Ctrl+B while marking a block now cancels block marking instead of resetting the mark position.
  • Added a drumpad mode, selectable either by the funky new on/off gadget or via the backslash key. When enabled, selecting instruments via numeric keyboard causes them to be played, and if edit mode is set, the instrument is inserted into the song. Suggested by Syphus.
  • Changed the release cut gadget from a 0/1 number gadget to the funk- tastic new on/off gadget (W00T!!111)
  • Fixed a bug in the command line replayer that was really dumb and should have been spotted ages ago! Oops.
  • Before, if a skin directory existed, and the logo bitmap existed in that directory, but there was any other file missing, hively would bomb out instead of reverting to the default skin and retrying. Now if a skin fails to load for any reason, hively retries with the default skin (SIDMonster-Light). This allows hively to load even if ht.prefs contains an invalid skin (such as SIDMonster-Heavy, which has been discontinued from 1.4 onwards).
  • Fixed an incorrect pointer in the autogain routine

Ars Technica: A history of the Amiga, part 3
Under the title link Jeremy Reimer has continued his survey about the Amiga history with the first prototypes and the development of the operating system. The third part ends with the purchase by Commodore.

In his article serie the author wants to explain "what the Amiga was, what it meant to his developers and users and why it - despite of the early decline and its [from the current point of view] rather slight brand awareness - had so much influence on the computer industry".

AmigaOS 4: Classic-version with native Mediator-support
According to Hans-Jörg "Rogue" Frieden in a thread at amigans.net currently the kernel is adapted to the known PCI-busboards of the Mediator-serie.

In the past it was known that the original pci.library of the producer of Elbox also works under AmigaOS 4 but has some incompatibilities to the existing PCI-driver system of the new operating system. That means users had to use the drivers provided by Elbox.

If and how the DMA problem of the Mediator boards will be solved - the hardware does not support real DMA - is still not clear. Certain PCI-cards (e.g. tv-cards) require DMA. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Print magazine: Amiga Future 68 preview online
Press release: Previews and some excerpts of the Amiga Future issue 68 (September/October 2007) are available now. Starting with issue 67 the Amiga Future is available in German and English.

Besides many articles covering the Amiga there are reviews of AWeb, Shuffle and much more in this issue. A more detailed description of contents can be found at our web site. The cover CD of the Amiga Future features a bunch of full versions besides lots of PD software.

Because of the massive problems regarding shipping of the last issue to outside Germany the Amiga Future is going to be shipped via airmail only.

The Amiga Future is available as a single issue or subscription. You are free to choose whether you want it with or without a cover CD.

The Amiga Future is available directly from the editorial office at amigafuture.de and some Amiga dealers like Alinea, Vesalia, AmigaKit, GGS Data, Samuli...

If dealers are interested in offering the Amiga Future for their customers then simply write us an email.

MorphOS: Shuffle 1.10
An update for Shuffle is available to all customers. Shuffle is a MorphOS implementation of the famous Sliding Block Puzzle, often also known as 15 Puzzle and is making use of MorphOS core components like MUI or Reggae.

Besides some smaller cosmetical fixes the update offers localization for three new languages. Thanks to Krashan, Vinnny and Stevo you can play Shuffle now in Polish, Russian or Dutch. Translations for Italian and Hungarian are in work.

Shuffle will be available as part of MorphOS 2.0, but if you want to play it now already you can buy it for just 3 Euro. Please note that this early offer will end on 31th August 2007. After that date no more copies of Shuffle will be sold anymore and if you still want to play Shuffle then you must wait for the MorphOS 2.0 release (no matter how long this will take). (snx)

Retro-Gaming: WHDLoad 16.8
With WHDLoad is it possible to install games and scene demo's, which are only created to work on floppydisc systems, on a harddisc. Beside are several incompatibility problems with new Amiga systems will be fixed. Changes of the lates version:
  • fix: the requester displayed when audio.device is already used defaults to 'ignore' now, so it works in combination with option NoReq/S (Horace)
  • fix: the online help displayed when WHDLoad is called from the CLI without arguments has been fixed for the options Cache/S and DCache/S (Hexaae)
  • fix: CLI args fixed to fault on too many arguments (Psygore)
  • chg: the install template supports installing from disk images via diskimage.device, trackwarp.library and capsimage.device
  • chg: kick31.s supports also the kickstart image from the A500/A600/A2000, with that it is possible to make Slaves using kick31 which are compatible to a 68000 CPU (Don Adan)
  • new: WHDLoad itself disables the interrupts of Mediator boards now while running the installed program, this should solve problems like freezing and gfx/sound distortion on these boards, thanks to John Girvin and Elbox for providing the solution
  • chg: WHDLoad now avoids opening the WorkBench screen after exiting, older versions have always opened the WB if no other screen was left open, requires at least v39
  • new: WHDLoad now shows the task name on exceptions if there was a working amigaos running, it also shows segment name and offset if SegTracker was running (inside emulation of course)
  • new: option NoMemReverse/S added to the global configuration (Ralf Stützer)
  • new: catalan translation of documentation, thanks to Manel Beltran
  • new: its now possible to use special rawkeys for the QuitKey/N option to let WHDLoad quit from a button press on the mouse/joystick/joypad
  • chg: some changes to the kickemu, check history therein

AmigaOS 4: Filesystem SFS 1.274
The newest version of the alternative filesystem, SFS, now supports files larger than 4 GB as well. The changes in detail:
  • Replaced semaphores by mutexes if running on the July 2007 update of AmigaOS4 or newer
  • Removed support for AmigaOS4 versions older than OS4 final
  • Added a new format with large file support, to use it select DOSType 'SFS\2' (0x53465302) for the partitions. WARNING: It's not compatible to the older SFS2 versions, nor to standard SFS partitions (DOSType 'SFS\0', 0x53465300) and therefore tools like SFSCheck, PartitionWizard, etc. don't work on such partitions and you can't use such a partition for booting from U-Boot/SLB!

MorphOS: Decoder for OnlineTVRecorder
Schlonz wrote: For OnlineTVRecorder which is a legal, free and mainly German Internet video recorder there is now an official decoder for MorphOS.

With OnlineTVRecorder you can record almost all German television programs. Up to 30 television broadcasts you can record simultaneously. You can record in the formats DivX, h.264-HQ-videos and iPod-video (and much more).

The service is used jut like a video recorder: Choose your broadcast, program, record and then download it. The file has the ending .otrkey. It can be not used until it is decoced.

This decoder now also exists for MorphOS as Shell-command which requires an installed ixemul-packet.

Moreover, a largely enhanced Egalaxtouch class is provided in the update, which allows using touchscreens, including right mouse button emulation.

Please note that the author cannot issue registrations or give support due to "company holiday" from August 15 till 26.

As Chris Hodges informs, this probably concerns the last update to version 3.x for "classic" Amigas (and Amithlon). Users who want to purchase a license are asked to do this within the next months.

The update can be downloaded via the title link or the online update function in Trident. (snx) (Translation: cad)

MorphOS: lzmaLoader
After limited disk space had led to packers like PowerPacker, Imploder or StoneCracker in the past, which compressed executable files and unpacked and launched them automatically again, such a software was now made available for the first time for MorphOS programs, too, by Harry 'Piru' Sintonen, with the lzmaLoader.

Though disk space today is no longer as limited as in the floppy disk era, the author, by all means, still sees a possible use, for compressing 64k intros, for instance. As the name already suggests, his program uses the LZMA algorithm, known through 7-Zip.

Event: games consoles and home computers - a retrospective
Press release After a long planning stage it's finally done. This year, on August,17th & 18th, there'll be the first computers and consoles retro fair that takes place in Northern Germany: "Spielkonsolen und Heimcomputer: Eine Retro-Spektive!"

The fair "Spielkonsolen und Heimcomputer: Eine Retro-Spektive" lets you experience 30 years of games consoles and computers. Travel through time with this exhibition that is built up in chronological order. Beginning with Pong, the classic tennis, Space Invaders and arcades moving to the 8bit- and the 32bit era of the home computers and from there to current consoles of well-known producers.

Experience the development and history of today's top-selling industry in the retrospective fair and ptry your skills at the numerous ready-to-play devices.

Everything from Pong to X-Box is shown, from Atari to Sony. More than 30 years of computers and consoles history.

The event takes place in Schneiderkrug, in the heart of the Oldenburger Münsterland just next to the B69 / B72 and only some minutes away from the A1 (exit Cloppenburg).

The entrance is free, and to make it worth the journey it's the same weekend when Northern Germany's biggest annual fair takes place - comparable to the Münchner Oktoberfest or the Cannstatter Wasn -, the Stoppelmarkt in Vechta. (snx) (Translation: wk)

MorphOS: Update of three Reggae classes
Grzegorz 'Krashan' Kraszewski has published updates of the classes winicon.demuxer, bmp.decoder and bmp.demuxer for Reggae which is his multimedia library for MorphOS.

The use of the transparency of 32 bit pictograms and the recognition routines for Windows icons were improved. By fixing the last mentioned one it will not happen any longer that files which start with many zero bytes are recognized as the ICO format. (snx) (Translation: dr)

According to the Swedish Amiga dealer Guru Meditation until the end of 2007 no orders can be processed. This is because of the increased workload and work in the storage area. (snx) (Translation: dr)
