MorphOS: Workaround for USB-devices under 2.x that didn't work
Under the title link Mario Kuban, based on hints from Fabien Coeurjoly, described (in German) how you can use some USB-devices which still did work under MorphOS 1.x but under version 2.0 did not any longer.
When starting you have to deactivate the pciusb.device of the USB-stack called Poseidon from the Open Firmware (boot boot.img mf=pciusb.device) and instead to use Nicolas Det's ehciusb.device 50.9 as well as Frank Mariak's uhciusb.device 51.4 in the preferences of MorphOS. (snx) (Translation: dr)

C-Compiler: vbcc 0.9
vbcc is a C-compiler developed by Volker Barthelmann (compiler-core) and Frank Wille (Amiga specific adaptations). The compiler supports AmigaOS 3/4, MorphOS, PowerUp and WarpOS and corresponds to ISO-C in accordance with ISO/IEC 9899:1989 as well as a subset of the newer standards ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (C99). Changes in version 0.9:
- Using vasm 1.3c and vlink 0.12 with many improvements.
- New: vlink 0.12 has experimental support for dynamic linking. The frontend supports a -static option to force static linking.
- New: -unsigned-char allows a char without qualifier to be treated as unsigned char instead of signed char.
- New: Target "MiNT" (m68k-atarimint), which is a multitasking operating system for Atari computers. The linker was extended to support the MiNT-specific embedded a.out-format in a TOS exexutables, called aoutmint.
- Fixed a bug with using bitfields in operations, which occured with -O2 optimization on big-endian hosts.
- A combination of 64-bit shift and arithmetic-and operations generated illegal code on all targets.
- Fixed bug with expressions of the form (pointer_type) (non_ptr +/- non_ptr) on machines that allow shortcutting conversion from int to pointer types.
- Fixed bug with VLA (variable length array, C99) length 0.
- Fixed illegal optimization of constant indexes in VLAs.
- The volatile keyword was ignored in some situations when using -O2 optimization or higher.
- Fixed some problems with incorrect struct-definitions after parse errors.
- Error and warning messages are redirected to stderr.
- Warning 224 must not appear, when a function returns the difference between two auto-variables.
- Exit with a fatal error when an #include-recursion is detected, which means in this case that the nesting-level is > 1023.
- Fixed __AMIGADATE__, which should add parentheses around the date.
- Fixed wrong line number after an #include directive, when the line ends with CR/LF.
- M68k code generator: Shortcut was erroneously used for (int)=(floatvar)/(floatconst)-(floatconst) converting the last floatconst into integer.
- M68k code generator: __interrupt had a discrepancy between the number of saved and restored registers.
- M68k code generator: Link register A5 got overwritten by local variables when used for a VLA.
- M68k code generator: Used an address register as DBRA counter for a struct-push operation at -O1.
- M68k code generator: For compatibility the __stdargs modifier is supported now, but ignored.
- M68k code generator: Wrong adressing Mode An,<ea> for ADD occured sometimes with -O3 optimization.
- PPC code generator: variables with a natural size of 8 (double precision float) have to be aligned to a 64-bit boundary, as not all PPC CPUs support 32-bit alignment.
- PPC code generator: VLAs didn't work inside of a structure.
- PPC code generator: 64-bit arguments were sometimes unnecessarily "extended" from 32 to 64 bits under PowerOpen-ABI (WarpOS).
- i386 code generator: Fixed some 64-bit integer bugs.
- C16x code generator: Better shift code generation.
- C16x code generator: Fixed bug with save_result and r==tp.
- vclib: Made freopen() depend on fopen() to make sure that the destructor which closes all open files is called.
- vclib m68k: Returned sign of modulo operation was wrong in the cases (+)%(-) and (-)%(-).
- vclib PowerUp: Fixed libpowerup.so, which can be generated by vlink now.

Database: MUIbase 2.7
Steffen Gutmann has published an update of his database MUIbase. Changes in version 2.7:
- Implemented quick search for user functions popups
- Merged settings for updating virtual attributes ('On different record'
and 'On dependent change') into one setting 'Auto update'
- New 'Enabled' setting for attributes and window buttons:
'Always enabled' 'Disabled in initial', and 'Compute enabled'
with optional compute function
- Changing the active line in a list of a virtual attribute causes
the update of objects depending on the attribute. This allows e.g.
to enable or disable buttons depending on the active list entry
- GETDISABLED, SETDISABLED, GETWINDOWDISABLED and SETWINDOWDISABLED
are now obsolete. When an obsolete functions is called, it can be
ignored silently, a warning can be generated, or an error be reported
- Command strings for external editor and view can contain '%p' which
is replaced by the name of the public screen MUIbase has been opened
(Amiga only)
- New function for programming: PUBSCREEN which returns the name of the
public screen MUIbase is running on or NIL if the screen is not public.
On Linux and Windows, PUBSCREEN always returns NIL.
- The window dimensions of structure editor, query editor and program
editor are now also remembered on Windows and Linux
- Improved handling of illegal UTF-8 sequences and codeset conversion errors
- Several bug fixes
The MUIbase distribution contains ports for AmigaOS 3, AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and AROS.

AmigaOS 4: Sputnik-bounties will be payed back
According to Troels Ersking who is the initiator of a bounty program which should adapt the Sputnik to AmigaOS 4, he canceled this program and hopes to pay back the bounties until the end of the year.
The author of Sputnik, Marcin 'Marcik' Kwiatkowski, had recently announced that he only had to change the MUI 4 component to MUI 3.x which will require about two more months of development but because of "missing communication, slow development and not-met deadlines" the bounty-program was now canceled.
Update: (12:48, 27.12.08, snx)
Menawhile Troels Ersking has given detailed information about the restitution of the bounties. He asks all donators to contact him with their names and their PayPal-E-Mail-addresses as well as the request how the money should be used.
The money can be payed back as well as it can be donated for different bounty programs. If you will not contact him until 31st January 2009 the money will be given to projects of other ports of web browsers (NetSurf or OWB).

MorphOS: DVD-Engine 0.2
Carsten Siegner's DVD-Engine is an user-interface for a lot of existing command line programs which is supposed to make it more easy to create video or picture-DVDs. Now alpha version 0.2 is available which the author decribed in this way:
"I uploaded an update of my program DVD-Engine to my server. This update includes a new main feature which makes it possible to create subtitles. Per chapter you can create one subtitle. Variable times of fading out and in as well as subtitles consisting of several lines are possible. If you want to create a video-DVD it is now also possible to set the picture aspect. Additionally some bugs have been fixed.
By the way, there are some native MorphOS versions of a lot of required Shell tools. For example the MorphOS version of the tool dvdauthor is twice as fast as 68k-version."

We would like to apologize for this - in the next year you should get the support as known.
For the next year we hope to get the support from our customers and Amiga friends (cross-platform AmigaOS, MorphOS, AROS; never mind if Classic or newer hardware) because without your support nothing can work!
Merry Christmas,
Michael

AmiCygnix (the previous beta versions were called "Cygnix") is a X11-environment and makes it possible to launch Unix-applications under AmigaOS with only few changes at the source code (screenshot).
AmiCygnix is not compatible with the previous versions. All available applications must be adapted. The first updates will follow soon with AbiWord 2.6.2 and Gnumeric 1.6.3.
AmiCygnix will be delivered as two archives: The basis package includes the complete X11-environment and the additional Tools-archive includes some applications and preference programs.

AmigaOS 4: Web-Browser OWB 2.20
Jörg Strohmayer has published an update of his port of the Origyn Web Browser. The changes in version 2.20:
- Some more small font tweaks, for example at 13px the bold Arial got a different size than the regular one
- Updated curl-ca-bundle.crt
- Reenabled drawing and scrolling optimisations while a page is still loading since it didn't fix the problems on AmigaOS 4.0
- Disabled progress bar when running on AmigaOS 4.0, it didn't test it but maybe that fixes the freezes

Amiga Forever 2008 Value Edition: New Version, Content and Price
Press release When Amiga Forever 2008 was released less than six months ago, it was accompanied by a name change in the entry level edition: the former Online Edition was renamed Value Edition. This was to signal another change further along the road, which was put into practice today.
Amiga Forever Value Edition has been repositioned to focus on content that can be played back in version 1.3 ROM and Workbench environments (whereas the Plus and Premium editions also include all other versions from 1.0 to 3.x). More than 70% of the thousands of games available for legal download from their original publishers and from Amiga preservation sites can be run with the new Value Edition.
The new Amiga Forever 2008 Value Edition includes 50 games, some of the best demoscene productions, and a selection of additional items at the low price of $9.95 (local taxes may apply, or 9.95 euros inclusive of VAT). The Value Edition comes in an 80 MB downloadable installer for Windows, and incorporates all the previous minor updates (build 2008.0.12.0), the latest WinUAE version, and the Software Director tool to manage future free updates.
The Value Edition is also available for free in partnership with TrialPay, if ordered together with a product or service from other affiliated sites.
Also in consideration of the twelve minor updates released so far, version 2008 remains the current version for all editions of Amiga Forever. The next release in the series will be C64 Forever, planned for the first quarter of 2009. (snx)

The AROS-version supports 3dnow and recognizes the used processor. SSE/SSE2 is being not supported.

Furthermore the WMV- and ASF-files can be played in the native AROS-version but cannot played on hosted versions.

MorphOS: FLAC-Player for AmiNetRadio (Update)
Under the title link Jacek 'jacaDcaps' Piszczek has published a FLAC-player for AmiNetRadio. The Plug-in is available in two versions (with and without Altivec-support) and supports 16-Bit-Stereo files as well as meta data.
Because the FLAC-player uses the 64-Bit-DOS-API introduced with MorphOS 2.0 as well as the conversion from UCS4 to ANSI introduced with version 2.1 the latest version of MorphOS is required.
Update: (18:48, 20.12.08, snx)
Meanwhile version 4.1b2 has been released which contains some bugfixes and optimisations, especially for computers without Altivec support. (snx) (Translation: dr)

AROS-Distribution VmwAROS 1.0
VmwAROS is an AROS-distribution (screenshot) which includes some preinstalled applications like FryingPan or SimpleMail. The distribution was completed by some batch scripts (PoorPDF, AmiBridge, PoorARC) which are supposed to balance out the lack of applications under AROS by a simple UAE-integration or on-the-fly format-conversions.
Changes in detail:
- New, customized system files
- Shutdown Wanderer funcion on supported hardware
- Widescreen graphic modes on selected cards
- Added Ken Lester's iconset
- Added sound in Quake
- Complete development chain with GCC 4.2.2, Python, ecc
- VmwAROS can now compile AROS
- Added new games
- Updated many programs
- Added 68K application support with AmiBridge
- Added automatic extractor for multiple archive files (PoorARC)
- Added PDF document support (PoorPDF)
- Added first-run configuration script
- Installing VmwAROS won't leave volumes without icons anymore
- Fixed typing issue with SimpleMail
- Added many desktop wallpapers from M. De Angelis (JohnSmith)
- Updated VmwUpdate and SwitchMuiMaster
- Added GhostScript
- Fixed many file associations
- Corrected paths and ASSIGNs
- Added VmwAROS services manager in Prefs
- Improved PDF user/reviewer guide
- ...and many, many more!
VmwAros is available as a version for virtual drives (VMWare, or after conversion QEmu) and as a so called live!-version for the native installation.

MorphOS: DVD-Mastering with DVD-Engine (alpha)
Carsten Siegner's DVD-Engine is an user-interface for 10 already published programs which is supposed to make creating video- or picture-DVDs more easy. Currently stereo DVDs are supported, 5.1 Dolby Digital is planned for the next version.
Source files may be any kind of movie-file or two different picture formats. Additional to picture-DVDs you can create complex video-DVDs. "Still" or "Animated" menus are supported. You can burn so many video-tracks and chapters as the DVD-standard allows.
DVD-Engine requires the following Shell-programs: dvdauthor, spumux, pngnq, ffmpeg-0.4.9-cvs17072005, lha, mplayer, mencoder,aften, sox-13.0.0, mkisofs. Additionally RXMUI, rexxtricks.library and rmh.library must be installed. DVD-Engine is based on MUI 4.0 and MorphOS 2.1.
You must create an assign DVD-Engine: and additionally the program requires a temporary directory which at least have the size of a standard video-DVD.

Cubic IDE: Christmas Special
Press release As is tradition, Cubic can be acquired at a drastically reduced price for a few dark days before Christmas - take advantage of it while stock lasts and get your complete package for HTML editing and software development (AmigaOS, MorphOS).
With Cubic, you can edit and check HTML documents, write and compile software, localize programs, edit Hollywood multimedia scripts, create installations, write AmigaGuide documentation and even play a round of minesweeper in Cubic's editor GoldED while a compiler builds your program.
Specially designed Color Edition: The first customers will receive a specially designed, laser-burned color disk and not the regular glossy-white disk (while stock lasts; photo 1, 2). (snx)

AmigaOS 4: Web-Browser OWB 2.18
Jörg Strohmayer has published a new version of his port of the Origyn Web Browser. The changes in detail:
- Seems I finally found the missing bits to get usable text rendering, especially with the core fonts, and changed the default fonts back to the core fonts. The defaults for the FONTXDPI and FONTYDPI tooltypes are 84 now, if you are using these tooltypes you have to adjust them.
- Fixed some bugs on ACID3.
- Added rendering optimisations from another OWB port.
- When scrolling with the mouse wheel or window scroll bars it now immediate renders the new parts. It's slower that way, but avoids the stripes.
- Added GETTITLE ARexx command.

Emulator: PSPUAE Fame/C-Edition
PSPUAE is a version of the well-known Amiga emulator E-UAE for Sony's portable game console PSP.
The PSPUAE Fame/C-edition works faster as the original PSPUAE but is more unstable and savestates of Fame/C-edition are not compatible to the ones of the normal PSPUAE-version. Currently PSPUAE Fame/C is not developed further. For further information please have a look at the readme-files in the archive.

Press release Wehrheim, Germany, December 06th, 2008 - We would like to wish all AmigaOS 4 users a very nice St. Nicholas day and we want to treat you this day with the freeware tool called AmiArc. This is a tool for packing and unpacking archives for AmigaOS 4.x. If you have suggestions for improvements then we'll hope that you send us a mail.
In the future we will also support the new AmigaOS 4.1 features. That means that it's possible that we will publish our programs in both an AmigaOS 4.0 and an AmigaOS 4.1 version with new 4.1 features.
Furthermore we will keep in touch with the Amiga community. Because of this, we will visit as many Amiga events as possible. On our event page you can find some impressions of past Amiga events.
We wish all amiga fans a great St. Nicholas day. (snx) (Translation: dr)
