AmigaOS 4: Warning against dubious eBay offers
Currently, a supposedly retail version of AmigaOS 4 for classic Amigas is being offered under the designation AMIGA OS4 for Amiga with Blizzard or Cyberstorm PPC on eBay. In the offer, provided with copious text and pictures, the remark that basically, the auction only constitutes a preorder, can be overlooked very easily.
Behind the supplier "ALIEN^TEK" stands a certain Robert O'Neil, who also appears under the aliases "Paradox" and "Amber, Inc," among others. In the past, O'Neil had already been repeatedly charged with fraud, for example, he had temporarily appeared as an AmigaOne dealer without possessing corresponding hardware.
As far as we know, Hyperion is informed of the situation. As a precaution, prospective buyers should refrain from a purchase at this supplier until a clarification of the issue. (cg) (Translation: cad)

MIDI-Sequencer: Horny 1.3
Press release: Horny is a midi sequencer in the style of e.g. "Logic®" or "Cubase®". Its focus is on easy and uncomplicated usage. Up to now Horny is a pure midi program and does not support audio.
From now on the program does only cost 29 Euro. A keyfile for the software sampler Phonolith (OS4) is still always inclusive!
New in version 1.3:
- optionally starts Phonolith and opens there the corresponding project (only OS4)
- AmiUpdate support (only OS4)
- application.library support (only OS4)
- with ALT mouse wheel axis can be changed (only OS4)
- Maus wheel now works in editor window (OS3/newmouse)
- Latency compensation for each MIDI-port
Comment to the future of Horny:
The begin of the development of Horny was started to a time when I had not the knowledge of good programming. Therefore it is not possible to implement new features and even to fix bugs it is rather complicated.
This update 1.3 probably will be the last one with new features. At most you can expect minor bug fixes. Before I started programming Phonolith I started writing a new implementation of Horny for OS4. Probably I will continue developing it after Phonolith 1.0. But this will take a while.
Features in version 1.3:
Midi:
- Up to 16 midi ports usable with CAMD (Lite: 1 port)
- Up to 128 tracks (Lite: 16 tracks)
- Signature and tempo changes inside songs possible
- Midi mixer: VU meter, volume, pan, 6 more (Lite: 3) chooseable controller
- Automation of all mixer parameters direct in tracks
- SysEx manager with as many sort groups as you like
- Controller transformer e.g. for controlling volume with modulation wheel
- eXtream Sync support for synchronizing with AudioEvolution 4 and other software
- Latency compensation for every midi port
Editors:
- Piano Editor: Quantizing (with triplet support), velocity compessor,...
- Controller Editor: Compressor, reducing, smoothing,...
- Multiple undo/redo in piano/controller editor
- Position marker in arranger window
- Complete overview of projects in arranger window
- Sound selection with names (not only GeneralMidi, but able to extend for any synthesizers)
- Midi controllers are named for any supported synthesizers as well
File:
- SMF import and export
- Horny file format is up- and downwards compatible
- Autoload project for your own templates
- SysEx files import and export in SysEx Manager
User Interface:
- ReAction GUI at setting windows
- On Workbench or own screen
- Arranger window can be used as background (backdrop)
- locale.library support: Up to now german and english
- Some GUI elements are 24 bit graphics (PNG files)
- Mouse wheel support for scrolling in editors (OS4 and NewMouse)
- application.library support with docky icon (OS4)
- AmiUpdate support (OS4)
- Starts Phonolith and opens project for song automaticly (OS4)

Back to the Roots: Fred Fish memorial archive
Press release: Hello and welcome to the first small update of the Back to the Roots archive since our main archive down time. Now after
successfully moving the project to a new server we have enough
resources again to continue growing our service.
To increase our update frequency (in preference to the rare monster updates
we did before) we decided to offer smaller topic wise updates from now on, and group them to the huge updates you are used to from the past.
We want to send a big thank you to more than 200 people who
donated to our server hardware money collection. We will in
turn try to give each free byte some honourful content.
Big thanks also goes to the patience of all contributors,
not to pull their money back during our rest!
First of all we started a new subproject, dedicated to one
of the most famous Amiga activists ever:
The Fred Fish memorial archive is our tribute to Fred where
we try to document his entire life work project wise, offering
his work (licensed by himself) and his cooperative projects
(so far co-licensed by Danny Amor, Leslie Dietz, Eric Schwartz,
Mark Stanley) for free download. The first 8 CDs are already
online since a while, many further ones will follow.
As a second part of our tribute we host the homepage of Fred
and his wife Michelle (and their dogs), documenting the last
adventureful years of Fred's life cruising the ocean in a boat
called "DiveAdx", going swimming, diving and deep sea fishing.
Just pure Fish.
More to come soon.... (cg)

AmigaOS 4: CD-/DVD-burning software AmiDVD 1.38
AmiDVD written by Jörg Strohmayer is a very simple CD-/DVD-burning software which first creates an image file in ISO9660-format and then writes it on a CD or DVD.
In version 1.38 a workaround for Pioneer drives was implemented which thereby now are nearly as fast as drives of different producers.

AmigaOS 4: Text typeset system LaTeX 3.0 (alpha)
"Jack" has published a first alpha version of a port of the text typeset system LaTeX. A viewer for DVI-files is still not implemented. SDK (Software Development Kit) and a current version of abc-shell are required.
The author asks for feedback of users with LaTeX experiences but he points out that the installation guide still was not completed.
Hint: In the distribution archive there is a damaged version of the file "etex". It is absolutely necessary to download the working version of etex and to copy it over the original version.
Direct download:

AmigaOS 4 for PowerUp: Press releases by Hyperion and ACube
As announced at the AmiWest 2007 event, the AmigaOS 4 version for PowerUp-Amigas will be released November 30 (amiga-news.de reported). Meanwhile, both Hyperion Entertainment VOF and ACube Systems Srl. have published official press-releases on their respective website.

Antwerp, Belgium - 23 October, 2007 As announced this weekend in Sacramento, CA during the Amiwest banquet, Amiga OS 4.0 for classic Amiga’s equipped with PowerPC accelerator cards, will start shipping on 30 November 2007.

The cardboard packaging will contain a CD, a DD boot-floppy to allow installation without a pre-installed Amiga OS and a printed “Quick Start” manual.
Production and world-wide distribution of Amiga OS 4.0 Classic will be handled by our strategic partners Acube Systems s.r.l.
Due to the wide variety of (often no longer produced) third-party hardware available for the Amiga 1200, Amiga 3000(T) and Amiga 4000 (T), prospective customers are strongly advised to verify whether their hardware is supported by Amiga OS 4.0 Classic before placing their order. A list of supported and unsupported hardware will be going online soon on Acube Systems' website. Depending on overall market-demand for the Amiga OS 4.0 Classic version, additional hardware may be supported in the future.
AmigaOS 4.0 Classic will require at least 64 MB of memory (more is recommended) and at least 200 MB of free hard disk space, as well as a supported PowerPC accelerator (CyberstormPPC or BlizzardPPC).
Hyperion Entertainment once again wishes to thank its loyal customers for their business and support.

AmiWest 2007: AmigaOS 4 for PowerUp on November 30
In the course of AmiWest in Sacramento, which takes place this weekend, Steven Solie has announced, at the request of AmigaOS 4 developer Hans-Jörg Frieden, that starting from November 30, AmigaOS 4 will be availabe for Amiga computers with PowerUp accelerator cards.
The Amiga models 1200, 3000, 4000 and 4000T are supported, provided that they are equipped with a BlizzardPPC or CyberStormPPC card.
An existing AmigaOS installation is not required, merely a hard disk as well as a floppy disk and a CD drive. When booting from the enclosed floppy disk, the CD-ROM driver will be loaded. Should a system already be installed, the installation can be started directly from the CD as well.
Upon an inquiry on supported expansions, Hans-Jörg 'Rogue' Frieden points out that there will be a hardware compatibility list with all relevant information.
But at the moment, there is a Highway driver for USB, and if he remembers correctly, FastATA and IDEFix as well as similar hardware are supported as well. However, the installation process currently requires that you have
connected either an IDE or a SCSI CD drive to the CyberStormPPC. The SCSI controller of the BlizzardPPC, on the other hand, is not currently supported, so only the IDE port of the Amiga 1200.
Support for other hardware could possibly be added within the scope of an update. With regard to PCI, all Prometheus-esque PCI solutions as well as the Mediator 1200 and 4000 expansions are supported, no "DMA tricks" though. (snx) (Translation: cad)

The Author of the instant messenger Epistula notified that due to job occupation he virtually cannot continue the development of the programme. Because he does not expect a change ofthis situation in the foreseeable future, teh source code for the ICQ and MSN plugins for Epistula will be released under the LGPL.
The source code of the main programme will be withheld for a while, because a final decision regarding that has not been done yet. Beside the option to keep the source code to take up development at a later date, the author also thinks about relasing the source when a a bounty is reached or sell the rights with some auction.

Speicher-Allokator: TLSFMem O(1)
TLSFMem is an implementation of a very new memory allocation system called
TLSF (two level segregated fit). TLSF was described in a paper by the three
italian researchers M. Masmano, I. Ripoll, A. Crespo.
Originally designed for Realtime Operating Systems, all allocation and free
operations run with constant time complexity (O(1)). This is a major
improvement over the original AmigaOS memory system, which gets slower
while memory gets fragmented (O(m) where m is the number of fragments).
Moreover, the old AmigaOS allocator uses a first fit strategy, which causes
the memory to fragment pretty quickly. TLSF is an exact fit allocator for
memory blocks smaller than 512 bytes and a good fit allocator for all other
sizes: It will always find a free block which is always smaller than 103%
of the requested block. (cg) (Translation: aj)

Amiga Future needs Help
Press release: We need help for the print edition of the Amiga Future. We are looking especially for an editor for apps and games on the classic Amiga. If you are familiar with these topics and your native language is German or English then please contact us via email. Furthermore we are looking for translators for the English print edition. In this case the native language has to be English.
But for our homepage we are looking for support aswell. We need someone to help us regularly or only once with the download database.
It is about testing all downloads on the homepage, writing short descriptions, making screenshots and getting more data.
Our link database needs help aswell. There more links to be added and already existing ones have to be checked if they are valid. For the article section we are looking for someone who wants to do some interviews.
The same holds true for workshops. It doesn't matter whether for the page or the magazine. We need good workshops. Do you know an application very well? Then please write us an email.
At this point we want to remind all people ordering single issues and users with expired subscriptions to order the next issue as soon as possible or to extend the subscription. This way we can calculate the print run much better. The Amiga Future is a non profit project for us. We cannot take the financial risk and print more copies than preorders.
Issue 67 has been completely sold out. We have still some copies of issue 68. In our onlineshop there are only a few copies of The Global Amiga Experience CD left.

Web Browser: IBrowse status update
Oliver "Futaura" Roberts of Ibrowse team gives a short overview of the current status of the web browser in a thread on amigaworld.net:
Reportedly, IBrowse is not currently purchasable, but several distributors have already shown interest. As soon as Stefan Burström, the holder of rights, has a little more time on his hands, he will attend to this problem.
After the quite stressful release of IBrowse 2.4, the team initially treated itself to a short time-out, but since that time, the next version is being worked on again. David Burström has already invested much work in an OS4 port - which requires considerably more effort than one would assume at the first moment, because of the SAS/C dependency of the sources and the partial use of 68K assembler - Roberts himself is working on the completion of this version now.
A CSS parser already exists, too, but the parser is the smaller problem - the still missing adaptation of the layout engine is associated with considerably more work.
IBrowse 3.0 should be released as soon as possible and primarily establish a stable, expandable basis for further updates. Though this means that CSS will not be completely supported yet in this first version - it allows the team to pass on further improvements to the user faster in the form of more regular updates.

AROS64: Status update
In his blog, Michal Schulz delivers insight into the current development status of his AROS adaptation to the x86-64 architecture (Bounty 21). So reportedly, the operating system is already bootable from CD and offers partial MMU support. The kernel is partly protected.
Now it is necessary to eliminate all the errors which first become evident on a 64 bit system: first in Zune and Wanderer, afterwards in the remaining standard components of AROS. Furthermore, as many architecture dependencies as possible should be relocated to kernel.resource. (snx) (Translation: cad)

Linux: openSUSE 10.3
Already on Thursday version 10.3 of the Linux-distribution openSUSE was published. This version is the first one with full support of the Efika-board developed by bplan.
But there are still installation problems if you try to intall directly from DVD which is probably caused by the SmartFirmware. You can fix that by using inst32-start.
Further information concerning Efika you can get in the English im openSUSE-Wiki. Additionally Peter Czanik has compiled a selection of Packman-packages to his Pegasos.
