MorphOS: First public beta version of the SFSDoctor
Already on the 8th of January, a first public beta version of the repair program SFSDoctor was published by Marek Szyprowski (screenshot). Here, it concerns a SelfBounty project (reported by amiga-news.de), which can still be donated to.
In the meantime, the author has worked on the graphical user interface, so that he just has the filesystem-check module in front of him, as the last component. In addition, he is looking for a graphic artist for an appropriate icon.

Ars Technica: Matrox DualHead2GoTest on (among other things) a µ-A1
In an English test report of Jeremy Reimer about DualHead2Go from Matrox - a small external box which distributes the video signal from a graphics card to two monitors - a µ-A1 with AmigaOS 4 is used as one system beside others.
Coming to the point: the necessary EDID-standard ("Extended Display Identification Data") isn't supported by AmigaOS 4 yet, even with the upcoming update, but according to a comment from Hans-Jörg Frieden (Hyperion) it is already under work. (snx) (Translation: ts)

CD Player 2.1 for AmigaOS/AfA and MorphOS
#AmigaZeux released version 2.1 of Ilkka Lehtoranta's CD Player. The update includes a bug-fixed MorphOS version and does now also support AmigaOS/AfA (AROS for AmigaOS).
Requirements for MorphOS version are:
Requirements for AmigaOS/AfA version are:
- AmigaOS 3.0
- "AROS for AmigaOS" extension
- 68020 + FPU
- MUI 3.8
- CGX 3
- AHI 4
- WBStart for AmigaAMP plugins
- FreeDB 13.0
Due to a bug in AfA (or in AROS), initially one didn't get the button graphics correctly on AmigaOS. This bug is fixed meanwhile by a new graphics_lib.exe for AfA (Download, 83 KB).
Please note that the common name with the old program by Stian Olsen for the Amiga Overdrive CDROM has been by accident; there is no connection between them. (snx)

Intel parts with the name "Pentium"
According to TG Daily Intel is slowly going to part completely with the
brand "Pentium" as a name for processors without official statement.
Present Pentium processors will for example be called "Intel D 920" or
"Intel 672" in the future. The complete conversion of the names is
supposed to be done in the near future. Intel was not willing to speak
out on this.
Indeed the separation from an established brand name is chancy, says
analyst Kevin Krewell , but the name Pentium has become obsolete and
partly leads to confusion. Furthermore the single processor is becoming
less and less important in Intel's product range, as the attention will
be increasingly directed on platforms like Centrino. (nba) (Translation: iw)

MorphOS: Fireflies and APooler 1.0
Fireflies
Fireflies is a small Demo, which demonstrates the possibilities of TinyGL.
(Screenshot).
Link: Homepage of Linux-Version
Link: Downloadseite
Download: Fireflies.lha (120 KB)
APooler
The point of APooler is to decrease the memory-fragmentation on MorpOS,
which can slow down the system after a longer working time.
Apooler is at this moment not tested, this is the reason why the author
has no information about the efficiency at this moment.

AmigaOS 4: Warp3D plugin for Playstation emulator FPSE
As the next update of Mathias Roslund's FPSE port will take some more time the author released a Warp3D plugin for the existing version of the Playstation emulator.
The plugin works very well with some games (Colin McRae and Ridge Racer are mentioned as examples), other games are problematic or run even slower.

Linux: ColdFire plans for Debian-m68k
As the computer news site Symlink reported exist plans to port the Debian Linux variant for processors of the 680x0 family to the related successor architecture ColdFire to revive this Linux project.
At the time it's not decided wether a common port for both architectures is indeed possible but for now the barriers seem not to be insuperable. In addition Freescale promised for this project five Coldfire boards for testing purposes.

Linux: Updated AmigaOne-Kernel (2.4.26, 2.6.8-16)
On 8th January the PegXMac-developer
Entwickler David Bentham published the updated Linux-Kernel for the AmigaOne.
The adapted 2.4.26er Kernel
should now enable DMA for all AmigaOne-boards.
The eleventh version of the Kernel 2.6.8-16
works together with most of the drivers as moduls (z.B. printers, USB) and the
SILImage-nodul can be used again, too.
Besides this there is a new 3D-driver (agpgart) but which is only for tests.
The author asks for sending back the Log-files (dmesg and /var/log/messages) under
the title link.
Furthermore there are still problems to be solved so some Amigas may crash.

After an opinion poll in the Blitzbasic forum of the Windows-, Linux- and Mac OS-users a new category for AmiBlitz2 was established today. With this action it is tried to build a bridge between the new Blitzbasic variants and the original.
It is the aim that the exchange between users of all four operating systems should create new impulses and the experience of the Amiga Blitzbasic community should be mixed with new ideas of the newer BlitzPlus-/Blitz3D- and BlitzMax-users. (snx) (Translation: ts)

MorphOS: DigiFilter 2.0
Grzegorz 'Krashan' Kraszewski has released DigiFilter version
2.0 for MorphOS. It is a design tool for digital FIR filters
("finite impulse response".
Different to programs which are limited to typical low pass,
high pass, band pass and band stop frequency answers or are
encompassing a limited set of frequency points, DigiFilter
offers a graphic frequency response editor.
The program uses a window design technique with rectangle,
trirangle, "Blackman" and "Kaiser" windows. Thanks to high
otimization even very long filter (2048 sample points and
more) may be used real ime on G3 computers.
DigiFilter 2.0 requires the media stream library Reggae B by
the same author (amiga-news.de
reported).

More graphic designers wanted for the Shoot'em Up "Megalospirit"
"Megalospirit", a Shoot'em Up for Windows, Mac OS,
Linux, MorphOS and maybe AmigaOS 4, is under development
since 2003 (screen shots: 1, 2, 3, 4). The
game requires OpenGL and SDL and uses a screen resolution of
800x600 pixels. The engine runs under Windows, Mac OS
and Linux yet.
The current team, Jérôme "Polluxe" Davoine (code), Olivier
"Haploo" Gonneau (music) and Thierry "LorD" Philippe (gfx), is
looking for one or two more gfx dsigners who may design sprite
or (tile
based) landscapes. If you interested, you may contact the developers lord @ lordfpx . com. (cg) (Translation: ub)

Amiga Future release 58 (Januar/Februar 2006) was published
The following German text reports about the release 58 of the German
Amiga-Magazin "Amiga Future". The Amiga Furure are only published in
german language.
Pressemitteilung : Etwas früher als geplant ist heute die Amiga Future Ausgabe 58 (Januar/Februar 2006) erschienen.
In dieser Ausgabe sind wieder Artikel für alle Bereiche dabei. So haben wir Desert Racing für den Classic Amiga, BlobWars für AmigaOS 4 und Virtual GP für MorphOS getestet.
Aber natürlich gibt es nicht nur Berichte über Spiele. Ein MyApacheStarter Test fehlt genauso wenig im Heft wie ein Special über die AmigaOS 4 Prefs oder RAM und ein Review von AmiKit.
Natürlich ist das nicht der gesamte Inhalt der Amiga Future. Auf unerer Homepage findet ihr eine Inhaltsangabe sowie Leseproben.
Als besonderes Highlight haben wir, neben vielen weiteren Vollversionen, auf unserer LeserCD Main Actor sowie Ports of Call. (Ein passendes Interview zu POC fehlt natürlich auch nicht.)
Die Auflage der Amiga Future steigt stetig. Das hatte in der Vergangenheit zur Folge das einige Einzelheft-Besteller leider leer ausgegangen sind. Um das zu vermeiden haben wir natürlich die Druckauflage erhöht. Trotzdem haben wir auch dieses mal die Befürchtung das die Ausgabe wesentlich früher ausverkauft ist als geplant. Wir empfehlen deswegen allen Usern die an dieser Ausgabe der Amiga Future Interesse haben, so bald wie möglich zu bestellen.
Die Amiga Future ist im Amiga Fachhandel (Zum Beispiel Vesalia, GGS-Data, ...) sowie auf den Amiga Future und APC&TCP Homepages erhältlich. (cg) (Translation: aj)

MorphOS: Reggae B veröffentlicht (Update)
Grzegorz 'Krashan' Kraszewski notify a new class is now added to Reggae -
it is fir.filter used for audio signal filtering. The code is highly
optimized, so even very long filters (2048 taps and more) can be performed
in realtime even on G3 processor. Some routines are written for AltiVec,
but MorphOS 1.4.5 kernel doesn't have AltiVec turned on, so routines can't
be used yet (but they are there, tested and waiting for a new kernel).
Update: (18:18, 09.01.06, snx)
The complete packet is now released, Reggae B.
Beside the actual classes is the fir.filter included and also a second new
class named winicon.demuxer to load Windows Icons. (snx) (Translation: aj)

Development Environment: AmiDevCpp 0.9 "Monster Pack"
The development environment AmiDevCpp is now available in version 0.9. With the IDE, programs can now be produced for following systems:
- MS Windows (x86)
- AmigaOS (68k)
- AmigaOS 4 (PPC)
- MorphOS (PPC)
- AROS (x86)
However, AmigaOS 4 developers must additionally obtain an up-to-date SDK, since that is not freely available yet.
For downloading over 100 files, or rather, 90 MB, DSL users should download the Internet setup program (67 KB). Users of a slower Internet connection still have the possibility to download the files individually.
Since the new server does not seem to work correctly yet, it can happen that individual files are not completely downloaded. These files can be found very easily, in that you view the downloaded files sorted by size, and then manually download those that are too small.
On usage: In the Help menu, a "First Steps" tutorial can be found now. The various compilers can be selected in the "Project->Project options->Compiler" menu. The standard compiler is for MS Windows. Keep in mind to change this to "m68k-AmigaOS", particularly in Amiga projects that are already created. (snx) (Translation: cad)

Multimedia Application Layer: Hollywood 2.0 available
Press release:Airsoft Softwair is proud to announce that the biggest update in Hollywood history is now available. Hollywood 2.0 is a massive update with endless new features. The program and its documentation have almost doubled in size. Here is a brief overview of the major new features of Hollywood 2.0 but there are tons more:
- Programming language: Hollywood has a completely new, state-of-the-art 64-bit script language which is dynamically typed and thus, extremely flexible
- Sprites: Hollywood now offers a fully featured sprite library that is implemented completely in software. Hence, there are no limitations in sprite size, frames, colors and so on. With sprites, a lot of cool things are possible
- Music library: The new music library allows playback of MP3 files and Protracker modules. Ptahiplay.library is no longer required!
- AROS support: Hollywood is now available for the i386 version of the Amiga Research Operating System AROS. On AROS native, Hollywood 2.0 gives a stunning performance on modern PCs. Additionally, AROS support means that you can compile x86 native AROS executables also from MorphOS, AmigaOS 3.x or AmigaOS 4 now
- Antialias: Antialiasing is now fully implemented for TrueType fonts on all systems. Drawing routines are very fast even on 68k because of highly-optimized code
- Powerful scheduler: Hollywood's new, powerful scheduler allows you to create exactly timed scripts which run at the same speed on every system
- Alpha channel support: Hollywood supports graphics with an alpha channel now. Thus, it supports graphics with up to 32-bits per pixel now. Highly optimized drawing routines give excellent results even on 68k systems
- Clip regions: Hollywood provides powerful clipping functions now that allow you to clip your graphics even to custom shaped regions (like circles, rectangles with round edges and so on)
- Collision detection: Fast pixel-exact collision detection is now offered. Even alpha channel information is taken into account by the collision detection!
- New off-screen rendering functions: All graphics calls can be used now to render to brush masks and alpha channels, too. Paves the way for unique special effects!
- New GUI: The GUI has been completely rewritten and is much more functional now. It has a showcase that lists all the examples that come with Hollywood and also has screenshots and information about them
- New examples: Hollywood 2.0 comes with over 15 cool new examples that demonstrate the new features. Hollywood has now over 45 examples in total
- Dramatic speed improvements: The image processing functions are up to 10 times faster now on WarpOS because the PPC is used now for everything! The drawing library is also much faster now
- Layer improvements: When removing layers, Hollywood will now use special undo effects which work just the other way round. Furthermore, layers can be given names now. This makes it much easier to work with them because the names do not change like the ids! Finally, anim layers are possible now
- DOS functions: Hollywood 2.0 brings many new DOS functions including a powerful CopyFile() function which can copy whole directories and is customizable through a callback function
- New button library: A much more flexible button library has superseded the old one. The new button library calls functions instead of labels and has more features!
- Sample library: The PlaySample() command offers many more options now and can trigger OnSampleEnd and OnSampleLoop events for perfect script timing!
- Doublebuffer: Hollywood 2.0 has functions for setting up a double buffered display. Double buffer scaling is fully implemented
- Drawing library: All commands of the draw library can draw alpha-blended graphics now, too. Additionally, there are some new functions like Arc() which draws a partial ellipse, and FloodFill() which fills a bordered region with a color
- Compiler: The Hollywood compiler has been completely rewritten and is more configurable now. You can embed version strings and more information in your executables. It is also possible to fix the settings of your compiled scripts; for instance, you can create an executable that will only run in full screen mode
- New fillstyles: All drawing functions can use additional fill styles. Hollywood supports the fill styles 'gradient' and 'texture' now
- Image export: You can now save your brushes to files and also save snapshots of your script from within Hollywood!
- Independence: Hollywood does no longer require the guigfx.library, render.library, and ptahiplay.library
- Full 1.x compatibility: Although the kernel has been completely exchanged, Hollywood 2.0 is fully compatible with the previous versions. All your scripts should run fine with Hollywood 2.0, and Hollywood Designer and Malibu do not need any updates, either
Starting with Hollywood 2.0, the program does no longer work on systems without a graphics board. A hi/true color screenmode is now required.
Hollywood comes on a CD-ROM that contains versions for all supported platforms: There are native versions of the program for AmigaOS 3.x, WarpOS, MorphOS, AmigaOS 4 and for the first time AROS (i386). A download version is also offered. If you order the download version, you will have to download an ISO image which you need to burn on CD-R then. If you already own Hollywood 1.x, you can buy a discounted upgrade version.
Hollywood 2.0 is Airsoft Softwair's definite Multimedia experience (Code name: Vision.1) and was given 10 of 10 points throughout by all of its beta testers. On top of all those features, Hollywood also has a cross-compiler which allows you to save executables for any platform that Hollywood supports.
For example, AROS users can save AmigaOS 4 executables with Hollywood. Or MorphOS users can save WarpOS executables and so on. Hollywood is the ultimate bridge between all those different AmigaOS compatible platforms! With Hollywood, you can support them all. If you want to learn more about Hollywood, please visit the Hollywood product information which also contains a full feature list of Hollywood. (snx)

Pegasos: AmigaOS and CD32 loader
Marcel 'Frostwork' Unbehaun has compiled an AmigaOS and CD32 loader, by means of which the Pegasos II can boot into the respective Amiga environment. By default, an inserted CD32 CD is booted directly.
The Amiga emulation is based on E-UAE and requires appropriate Kickstart files (from the CD32 by default). In addition, you need a Torrent client in order to download. You can obtain details on the range of functions and the installation under the title link. (snx) (Translation: cad)

Java version of BattleDuel completed / Update to the Amiga version
The freeware artillery game BattleDuel (screenshot) now exists as a Java version as well. This port conforms to a one-to-one conversion of the Amiga original, so that network games are possible between both systems.
At the same time, an update for the Amiga version was developed, which ensures compatibility to the Java version and corrects small errors. (snx) (Translation: cad)

AROS: AfA 3.91.1
AROS for AmigaOS (AfA), a project for enhancing the AmigaOS 3.x by porting back newer AROS- functions, was updated to version 3.91.1.
Changes:
- Bug fixes:
- exec.library: obtainsemaphorelist now works also when the same task already locked the semaphore (fixed in AROS, too)
- diskfont.library: crash because of buffer overflow with some colour fonts (fixed by Georg Steger; fixed in AROS, too)
- New:
- stack increased for every program to avoid a buffer overflow when using many additional patches; this feature is implemented in the file afa_system_lib.exe and works without the exec.library
- Stack size of 4500 bytes as standard (AmigaOS: 4000); when a program itself demkands additional stack does AfA increase it by 260 Byte
- AfA logo integrated into the AfA preferences; the logo was made by FishX and is available in to sizes in the directory "logo"
Here now some notes for developers:
When a program is developed on AfA it could crash running on AmigaOS because of the lower standard stack size. Therefore , this should be increased by default.
For developers being interested in a graphical skins system for AROS and therefore in AfA created Georg Steger a frameI class as an example that is available in the Intuition directory of AfA and that can be started via double clicking as often as it is wanted.
The intuition.library of AROS in AfA is now that far that all related elements are used by AROS. The source code is uptodate - but there's no binary file as it looks exactly as the one for AmigaOS.

amigaone.de: new portal for AmigaOS 4.0 interested
Since some weeks now, there's a new homepage online that is mainly offering news about AmigaOS 4 and its hardware. In addition there'S a forum for help, tips&tricks and much more as well as a links collection containing companies and projects that are actively developing in the Amiga area.
We don't want to be a competition with current news sites like AmigaFuture, AmigaWorld or AmigaNews, we just want to offer a second contact point for AmigaOS 4 users. We are are not interested in making money with the homepage, either.
We are conscoius that the homepage isn't looking quite well using current Amiga browsers but questioning the current acive users of our site showed that the majority doesn't see a rework as a necessity. Constructive criticism and suggestions for improvement are very welcome ;-)

Operating System: NetBSD 3.0 for Classic Amiga
Shortly before christmas version 3.0 of the operating system NetBSC has
been released for the Classic Amiga. NetBSD is similar to Unix and is
distributed under the open source licence making it easy to port it.
53 platforms are currently supported along with the Amiga/68k including the DraCo.
NetBSD needs a MMU as well as an 68020 CPU or higher and 8 MB FastRAM. A list of changes in version 3.0 can be read in the Changelog. (cg) (Translation: nba)
