AROS: Bounty for adapting Zune to MUI 3.8
Neil Cafferkey has accepted the bounty project (currently donated with 1020 US-Dollar) for adapting and improving Zune. The goal is to adapt the open source clone of MUI to version 3.8 of it by adding all missing features and deleting all difference.
With this step porting software to AROS or developing cross-platform applications (AmigaOS, AROS, MorphOS) is supposed to be facilitated. Cafferkey will try to finish the project until the end of July.

AmigaOS 4: RadeonHD driver 0.32 for Sam460 / AmigaOne 500
ACube Systems has published a new version of the RadeonHD driver for PCIe- graphic boards written by Hans de Ruiter. If you did not get the update via eMail then please use the ACube-contact formular.
Bug fixes in version 0.32:
- Some R700 GPUs were locking up when compositing "large" vertex arrays. FIXED
- Screens that were larger than the display resolution were garbled. FIXED
- R500 vertex array clipping was one pixel larger than it was supposed to be (could cause the right-hand edge to spill over to the left most column of pixels). FIXED
- Fixed an R500 compositing bug that could cause corruption if one compositing operation rapidly draws directly over the previous one
- WaitTOF() and similar functions could cause the machine to lockup when called from a task with a priority >= 1. FIXED

AROS: Workbench replacement Scalos ported
Matthias Rustler has ported the Workbench replacement Scalos to AROS. Because Scalos requires DOS-packages, the port is only available for AROS-systems with the ABI-V1 binary interface.
In a statement on aros-exec.org the author explained the problems which still exists: Drag'n Drop as well as the "Lasso" for choosing several icons do not work. The AROS-icons do not look very nice because the format of the pictogramm is still not supported. Additionally the content of a directory is not listed. Then simply choose "update" from the menu list.

For version 1.3.3 of his AROS-distribution Icaros Desktop, Paolo Besser has published a new update which includes new system files as well as the latest PaperCuts.
Chganges:
- fix for commodities like FKey: they don't appear iconified on the desktop anymore
- fix for italian translation: it will now be re-enabled in Wanderer
- added iconify button to Zune windows title bar (must be enabled by user)
- fix for ICE, Icaros Classic and Icaros Blue themes to support iconify button
The following problems are known:
- Wookie Chat, PSI prefs and other programs crash on de-iconification
- InstallAROS (and maybe others) crash on iconification
- SimpleMail crashes if double-clicked on its custom AppIcon
- no fixes to problems reported with icon.library
- iconify gadget has no image in other Icaros decorations, so default "3.1" rectangle will be used

Aminet celebrates 20th anniversary
On January 16th 1992 an user called Urban Müller posted announcement of a new FTP-server to the newsgroup comp.sys.amiga.misc: There not only several Amiga files could be found under amiga.physik.unizh.ch but it also is the official FTP-site for Amiga Unix. This first announcement have already included the typical upload lists.
From this little server hosted on an Amiga 3000 UX which should not be accessed "between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m." by external users so the administrators could use it for its own purposes it has become the center for Amiga software as well as the biggest software archive of the world with 34 servers and about 100 MB uploads per month.
You can find a detailed description of the history of the Aminet on Aminet-Wiki.

AmigaOS 4 / AROS: Picture viewer LoView 2.37
LoView written by Simone 'Tuxedo' Monsignori is a picture viewer with support of datatypes which also includes some simple picture editing functions. The pictures also can be viewed as "thumbnails". Version 2.37 currently is available for AmigaOS 4 and AROS/x86.
Changes:
- Added a ContextMenu entry ("Open > Thumb") to open current displayed pic dir in LoViewThumb

AmIRC: Source code released under GPL (3rd Update)
In 2009 the rights for putting it under an open source license have been transfered to Costel Mincea and subsequently the sources have been released in early 2012 under the GPL license to enable a larger open source team to continue the development of AmIRC for all available Amiga-based operating systems (AmigaOS3, AmigaOS4, MorphOS, AROS).
One of the projects main aim is to unify the previously scattered AmIRC development again which had been splitted into multiple hands over the past years. Therefore every talented Amiga developer regardless for which Amiga-based system he develops is gratefully invited to join the project
Update: (08:56, 11.01.12, snx)
Editor's note: The source code published is the one of the AmigaOS 4 fork by Costel Mincea, Jens Langner and Thore Böckelmann. The developers of the MorphOS & AmigaOS 3.x version, Nicolas Sallin, Harry Sintonen and Jacek Piszczek however consider release of the source code to be in violation of their copyright. On the other hand AmIRC Open Source Team affirms its legitimacy.
2nd Update: (16:44, 11.01.12, snx)
Editor's note: As we have been told by the authors of the MorphOS version, the source code published does also contain parts programmed by them. Since no licence would exist for those, basic copyright would apply. Thus, without all authors' consent, publishing of the source code under GPL would not be possible. Therefore, the link to source code has been removed from the news-item.
3rd Update: (18:19, 12.01.12, snx)
Editor's note: amiga-news.de meanwhile got hold of the IRC log in which the original author of AmIRC, Oliver Wagner, announces to hand-over the source code and tells Costel Mincea, that he may do with it whatever he wants. Explicitely requesting if this does also include publishing under GPL, this is confirmed again. Thus obviously there is a communication problem between the original author and the developers of the MorphOS version about the legal state of their contributions. (snx) (Translation: dr)

WLAN-driver: prism2.device for free again
The previously commercial WLAN-driver prism2.device is now available for free with version 2.4. It can be usesd for PCMCIA-boards in Amiga 600/1200 or PCI-boards in Amithlon and AmigaOS-4 computers which are based on the Prism-II-chipset.
WPA as well as WPA2 encryption with TKIP and CCMP (AES) are supported. But not each hardware does support all modes. Boards with Intersil-chipset can access to WEP, TKIP and CCMP but Lucent/Agere-firmware only to WEP and TKIP.
The last mentioned boards have a hardware based TKIP-encryption. Please note that Intersil-boards for the WPA-encrayption require a new firmware. You can get further information as well as a list of supported WLAN-boards from the manual included in the archive.

MorphOS: Beta testers for OpenOfficeViewer required
Carsten Siegner wrote: I am looking for beta testers for my current project "OpenOfficeViewer". This project is about viewing four kinds of documents of the OpenDocument-standards: Office-Drawing, Office-Presentation, Office-Text and Office-Spreadsheet.
OpenOfficeViewer at least requires MorphOS 2.7.
What has been done?
- Ich have written three programming help tools which are to list the documents
- For the program "OpenOfficeViewer" the following tools were done:
- Which windows I could fill with data?
- The window with the metadata of the document
- The window with the statistics of the document
- The window with the render preview
What is still missing? I have to write the renderer. And the whole MUI-interface is missing. But compared with the renderer this is simple.

Ferrule Media: AmigaOS 4 in commercial use
The information channels Dental Kanal and Dental Info of Ferrule Media were developed with the help of Hollywood Designer and are used by private dentists as well as several public dental facilities.
Furthermore the software is used by the Institut für klinische Zahnheilkunde of the university Bergen and is sold by Plandent which is one of the biggest European traders for dentistry in Denmark.
In October 2011 Ferrule Media exhibited at the Nordental fair. There some Sam-systems with AmigaOS 4.1 were used (photo 1, 2, 3).
Dental Kanal only runs on Sam-systems with AmigaOS 4 while Dental Info is available for Windows due to the development with Hollywood. The latest product, Dental Web, is used for creating websites for dental offices and partly was also developed with Hollywood Designer being able to convert contents of the Infokanal to AVI-files.

eMail client: YAM 2.7
Jens Langner wrote: The YAM-Open-Source-Team has published version 2.7 of the MUI-based eMail-programm YAM (Yet Another Mailer). This new version of the well-known eMail software provides important bug fixes as well as new features.
Changes in YAM 2.7 (all changes are listed in the changelog included in the distribution):
- Updated translations for czech, french, german, greek, italian, swedish and spanish language
- Updated amigaguide documentation for spanish
- General performance improvements and general bugfixing
- When text in a read window is selected and the user presses "reply", the reply will only contain the selected text rather than all
- The column width of the preselection window can now be saved with MUI's own snapshot functionality
- Closing YAM while a write window is open is possible now. However, a confirmation requester is now presented to the user
- YAM will now recognize incompatible email file formats when importing
- Added a direct menu item to the AmigaGuide documentation of YAM
- Completely removed the anonymous mailing feature as there aren't any anonymous remailer services anymore that are not abused for junk mail
- Changed YAM to have the spam folder available by default. Everyone should use a spam filter nowadays
- The online check feature in YAM can now accept multiple interfaces by using a comma-separated list of interface names
- Implemented an additional ARexx command to let YAM restart itself
- The crop attachment requester can now be suppressed by a hidden config option
- Statistics on new/unread emails will now also be shown for folder groups
- When using the "Check for Update" menu item YAM will now directly respond instead of always keeping itself silent
- A potential "mailto:" in front of an email address will now be automatically stripped
- The way emails are forwarded (either inlined or as attachment) can now be chosen from the various menus in YAM
- Implemented option to suppress the final mail filter requester
- Implemented possibility to automatically run a script before and after YAM starts or is finished with mail filtering operations
- Multiple files can now be selected when trying to import emails
- The preselection window functionality can now be set for each account separately
- Changed the remote filter to be applicable on a per-POP3 account basis
- When moving a mail graphically from one folder to another and that folder is within a closed node, the listtree will now automatically open that node
- Completly reworked the functionality which converts HTML mails to plain text. Now soft styles (bold/italic, etc.) are shown and the conversion should show much prettier results
- In case a folder is renamed, mail filters will be automatically adapt to that change
- Changed all folder list displays to show a hierarchical listtree rather than a plain list. This should make the whole folder display more intuitive
- Reworked/fixed the recipient string in the write window to be somewhat more intuitive in showing currently found hits
- To save memory indexes of custom folders, they will now be automatically expunged in case they haven't been accessed for a certain amount of minutes
- Changed birthday reminder to be non-blocking and to be able to snapshot the position and size of it. Furthermore, YAM will now rememeber if the reminder was already shown and don't pop-up the same requester again at the same day if it is restarted
- Significantly improved performance of string searches (to search for emails) by implementation of Boyer/Moore search algorithms
- Finally YAM's internals are fully multithreaded. That means many things within YAM are now changed to work without blocking the GUI interface. This includes the TCP/IP routines which are now running in separate threads/processes rather than blocking the main GUI during a mail transfer. Furthermore this was a mandatory thing for being able to implement IMAP support in the somewhat near future
- Lots of other improvement we don't remember right now (keep in mind: more than 2 years of development was put into YAM 2.7!)
The YAM-team wishes all Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Furthermore we are looking for users who can help us translating the documentation and the programm into different languages. Of course you can to express your gratitude by providing a little donation.

- Compositing now supports homogeneous texture coordinates with vertex arrays on all supported chipsets (useful for image warping)
- Eliminated the intermittent graphics glitches that could occur with R600/R700 chipsets (e.g., yellow screens, fill-rect failure on 8-bit screens
- Fixed a bug that could cause some screens misalignement
- With interrupts disabled, could get multiple "vertical syncs" in one VBlank period (could cause havoc with timing) - fixed

eMail client: SimpleMail 0.38
Sebastian Bauer wrote:
A new version of SimpleMail has been released! Version 0.38 comes with following changes:
- Applied a workaround to circumvent possible crashes with SSL IMAP connection on AmigaOS4
- Fixed a problem with IMAP login and passwords containing spaces
- Added a new "Complete mails" mode to IMAP folders. If this mode is enabled, complete emails are downloaded in the background rather than on demand. The mode can be changed within the folder settings, which can be brought up via menu entry "Folder/Options..."
- New progress monitor system. When a task is active, a progress overview is displayed in the status line. More details about pending tasks can be viewed by pressing the button next to the progress bar. Clients for this subsystem are currently only the IMAP subsystems that are responsible for downloading mail headers and complete mails.
- Live OS4 compiles of SimpleMail can be downloaded now from www.sebastianbauer.info/jenkins/job/SimpleMail. Only the binary is distributed in this form at the moment, not the full archive. Note that version obtained from this location are considered as experimental for now and are no official release versions.
The SimpleMail Team wishes you all a merry Christmas and a happy new year 2012!
