Image editing: iBatch 1.0
Gero Birkenfeld's Image Batcher ("iBatch") is supposed to simplify renaming and converting several image files. The images of a directory are shown as thumbnails and the user can choose the files and the steps of procedure.
iBatch 1.0 is now written in AmiBlitz instead of ARexx. Changes since version 0.4:
- improved useability, completely new GUI
- integrated thumbnail viewer + list editor
- GUI based preferences
- OS4 "lookalike" requester (also under OS3.x)
- no ARexx-script
- c:ImageConverter Shell command is not needed ay longer
- GUI is not AWNPipe-based. Now based on Stormwizard
- progress bar
- same executables for OS3.x up to OS4.x
- support of locale.library
- can be also used with lower screen solutions
The program requires AmigaOS 3/4, 24-bit-datatypes, a RTG-system (picasso96 or CybergraphX), 2MB Chip-RAM and 16MB Fast-RAM as well as wizard.library, jpeg.library and zlib.library.

YAM 2.6p1
The eMail program YAM (Yet Another Mailer) is now available in version 2.6p1 for all Amiga systems. This release fixes some minor bugs which were found during the development of version 2.7.
Changes:
- Improved general stability by having fixed several memory leaks, important bugs and situations where YAM crashed under certain circumstances
- Fixed the tons of "empty" themes warnings in case NOIMAGEWARNING tooltype or a themes "NoImageWarning" option is set
- Fixed the "Jump on XXX" config settings to better interact with each other
- Fixed keyboard usage (cursor left/right) to switch between the folder and mail list
- Fixed some endianess cases so that the AROS build for i386 works more smoothly
- Fixed the spam filter to handle its 'inactive' state better and not reset all values anymore on that occassion. Now it is possibile to turn off the SPAM filter all together
- Fixed display of the poppen objects for MUI 3.8 installations
- The attachment show window will now display the mail part description in a separate column.
- Fixed problems with important mails containing X-Status: and Status: as local headers
- Fixed bug in the "avoid duplicates" functionality which caused that not all mails have been shown in a preselection window
- Updated the included AISS based theme to require at least AISS 4.8
- Fixed the mail attachment management to not use internal file names for the "Content-Disposition" header of attachments
- Fixed mail search functionality to correctly handle mail header searches
- Fixed XPK packer scanning to show all installed packers correctly
- Fixed the startup to handle multi user installation more smoothly
- Fixed the installation script to get the installation going again

MorphOS: Firewire-Stack Helios 0.4.560
Guillaume 'Yomgui' Roguez has published a new beta version of his firewire-stack for MorphOS 2.x on Aminet. This version was completely rewritten to get a similar design and API like the USB-Stack Poseidon. Therefore existing installations have to be removed first. A graphical user-interface will follow.
If a compatible SBP2-device was connected (external harddrive, CD-ROM) it is automatically established with the sbp2.class. If this should not work the MorphOS commands Mount and UnitControl can be used as well.
Any feedback of testers is very welcome. Known bugs:
- Oxford ATA bridges (911/935 families) are known to not work after 2339 ORBs send from the computer. Afterwards a bus reset is needed to continue
- Having multiple SBP2 devices on the same bus has not been really tested
- Other kind of devices are not supported yet (more classes needed)
- Code efficiency is not the first goal, so don't be surprised to see USB speed higer than FW! Especially when the client software doesn't request data enough per IO command

Individual Computers: New accelerator cards for Amiga 600/1200?
Jens "Paradroid" Schönfeld from Individual Computers is developing new accelerator cards for Amiga 600- and 1200-computers. An officual announcement or confirmation is still not available but obviously three different models are going to be published in December:
- A1200: 56 Mhz, 64 MB RAM, about 199 Euro
- A1200: 28 Mhz, 64 MB RAM, about 99 Euro
- A600: 25 Mhz, 32 MB RAM
According to Jens Schönfeld the main focus is a fast memory access. Therefore all boards will not include a FPU.
Besides, the boards will also not have a jumper or other preferences. You can only add a clock.

MorphOS: Vector graphic editor MagicalInk (Update)
With MagicalInk wriiten by Carsten Siegner you can open and edit Word95-, OpenOfficeDraw- and SVG-files (Youtube-video). It also includes a graphical user-interface.
This is the first public release and therefore the archive does not include a manual and translations. MagicalInk requires MorphOS 2.5 and the font collection of the browser OWB. If OWB has not already installed you can install the required fonts with the batch-script "Download Fonts".
Launching MagicalInk for the first time can take about two minutes to create a font cache.
Download: magicalink.lha (2,1 MB)
Update: (02.09.2010, 21:00, cg)
Carsten Siegner has published some tutorial videos which explain the usage of the program:
1,
2,
3,
4,
5,
6,
7,
8,
9. The author pointed out that he could not turn off the autofocus of his camera. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOne X1000: Beta tester documents on Internet
The documents which get users of A-EONs beta-program are available on Internet. We have collected the most important information. But be aware: No liability assumed!
- The beta tester immediately has to pay 750 Euro. The beta hardware (only motherboard and memory - tower, mouse or keyboard are not included) will probably be sent at the end of this year and will cost "approximately" 1400 Euro (plus taxes and shipping).
- Although the document is only called "Confidentiality and Betatesting Agreement" the main part of it is about the handing over of the X1000 and the coresponding payments..
- A-EON offers a "limited warranty": If there will be bugs which interferes a great deal the functions of the motherboard and which cannot be fixed with the help of software the beta tester can send back the hardware to the producer. A-EON then will decide if the motherboard will be reworked or the beta tester will get 90% of the purchase price.
- The contract does not include any provisions what will happen with the payments in advance if there are any problems.
In our opinion this document is a contract of sale.

- Support for configuration file delayed CD image insert, for example CD32 games
- F17 Challenge and Last Ninja crash if booted before CD32 boot screen appears..
- Right and bottom border, if outside of display area, is blanked instead of filling with current border color.
- Full "Portable"/USB key mode (-portable command line parameter) and relative path support.

- Built-in image mounter CD audio timecode offset fixed.
- Z3/RTG RAM leak when restarting.
