AmigaOS 4: Package management system AmiUpdate 1.75
AmiUpdate is a simple package management system similar to RPM or dpkg which are known from the Linux world. In contrast to its prototypes AmiUpdate can not handle references. Required components are not automatically installed for a certain package.
On behalf of the users AmiUpdate searches for newer versions of the installed applications (list of supported packages), downloads and automatically installs them (if this option is supported by the package).
AmiUpdate has been available for years but so far was only used by AmigaOS beta testers to keep their beta systems up to date. (cg) (Translation: dr)

MUI-class: MCC_BetterString 11.12
Jens Langner has published new versions of the following MUI-classes for AmigaOS 3.x, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS: BetterString.mcc and BetterString.mcp in version 11.12 as well as HotKeyString.mcc in version 12.8.
Changes:
- mcc/hotkeystring: adapted documentation and minor tweaks to the sources of HotkeyString.mcc
- mcc/BetterString_mcc.h: converted all MUIV_BetterString_DoAction_#? values to a named enum rather than simple defines
- mcc: added new MUIM_BetterString_DoAction method which allows to manually perform certain actions like Copy/Cut/Paste,... which are normally just executed with the default shortcuts. This way the gadget can completly controlled remotely
- mcc: added new MUIA_BetterString_NoShortcuts attribute that allows to disable the default shortcuts like Amiga+C, Amiga+V, etc. for applications interested in performing those operations manually
- include/mccinit.c: updated to latest 1.10 version

Chiptune-Tracker: Hively-Tracker 1.4 for AmigaOS 3/4 and AROS
HivelyTracker is a tracker based on the AHX-format (screenshot). AHX was developed in the nineties to write songs which have the typical chip-sound of the SID (sound-chip of C64). Changes since version 1.3:
- Playback no longer stops when the "Load Mod" filerequester is open
- Undo & Redo for almost all edit operations
- Cutting an area in the position editor cleared both columns of
the left & right edges even if they weren't selected. Fixed.
- Cutting or pasting in the position editor didn't update the
track editor even if the current tracks were changed by the
operation. Fixed.
- If you change preference options that require the GUI to be closed
and re-opened, it now does that instead of requiring you to quit
and restart.
- Skin directory, initial song directory and initial instrument
directory options all now can be selected via ASL directory requester.
- Right-clicking on a channel mute button now mutes all other channels
except that channel. If it is already the only un-muted channel,
all channels will be unmuted instead (suggested by Syphus).
- Added "9xx" panning command to the instrument performancelist. It
only changes the panning position for that specific instrument. The
next time an instrument is played in that channel, it returns to
the last panning position set with the traditional "7xx" track
command.
- Pasting or marking blocks in the position editor didn't work
correctly if channel 1 wasn't the leftmost channel. Fixed.
- Pressing Ctrl+B while marking a block now cancels block marking
instead of resetting the mark position.
- Added a drumpad mode, selectable either by the funky new on/off
gadget or via the backslash key. When enabled, selecting instruments
via numeric keyboard causes them to be played, and if edit mode is
set, the instrument is inserted into the song. Suggested by Syphus.
- Changed the release cut gadget from a 0/1 number gadget to the funk-
tastic new on/off gadget (W00T!!111)
- Fixed a bug in the command line replayer that was really dumb and
should have been spotted ages ago! Oops.
- Before, if a skin directory existed, and the logo bitmap existed
in that directory, but there was any other file missing, hively would
bomb out instead of reverting to the default skin and retrying. Now
if a skin fails to load for any reason, hively retries with the
default skin (SIDMonster-Light). This allows hively to load even
if ht.prefs contains an invalid skin (such as SIDMonster-Heavy,
which has been discontinued from 1.4 onwards).
- Fixed an incorrect pointer in the autogain routine

Ars Technica: A history of the Amiga, part 3
Under the title link Jeremy Reimer has continued his survey about the Amiga history with the first prototypes and the development of the operating system. The third part ends with the purchase by Commodore.
In his article serie the author wants to explain "what the Amiga was, what it meant to his developers and users and why it - despite of the early decline and its [from the current point of view] rather slight brand awareness - had so much influence on the computer industry".

AmigaOS 4: Classic-version with native Mediator-support
According to Hans-Jörg "Rogue" Frieden in a thread at amigans.net currently the kernel is adapted to the known PCI-busboards of the Mediator-serie.
In the past it was known that the original pci.library of the producer of Elbox also works under AmigaOS 4 but has some incompatibilities to the existing PCI-driver system of the new operating system. That means users had to use the drivers provided by Elbox.
If and how the DMA problem of the Mediator boards will be solved - the hardware does not support real DMA - is still not clear. Certain PCI-cards (e.g. tv-cards) require DMA.

MorphOS: Shuffle 1.10
An update for Shuffle is available to all customers. Shuffle is a MorphOS implementation of the famous Sliding Block Puzzle, often also known as 15 Puzzle and is making use of MorphOS core components like MUI or Reggae.
Besides some smaller cosmetical fixes the update offers localization for three new languages. Thanks to Krashan, Vinnny and Stevo you can play Shuffle now in Polish, Russian or Dutch. Translations for Italian and Hungarian are in work.
Shuffle will be available as part of MorphOS 2.0, but if you want to play it now already you can buy it for just 3 Euro. Please note that this early offer will end on 31th August 2007. After that date no more copies of Shuffle will be sold anymore and if you still want to play Shuffle then you must wait for the MorphOS 2.0 release (no matter how long this will take). (snx)

Retro-Gaming: WHDLoad 16.8
With WHDLoad is it possible to install games and scene demo's, which are only created to work on floppydisc systems, on a harddisc. Beside are several incompatibility problems with new Amiga systems will be fixed.
Changes of the lates version:
- fix: the requester displayed when audio.device is already used
defaults to 'ignore' now, so it works in combination with option NoReq/S
(Horace)
- fix: the online help displayed when WHDLoad is called from the CLI
without arguments has been fixed for the options Cache/S and DCache/S
(Hexaae)
- fix: CLI args fixed to fault on too many arguments (Psygore)
- chg: the install template supports installing from disk images via
diskimage.device, trackwarp.library and capsimage.device
- chg: kick31.s supports also the kickstart image from the A500/A600/A2000, with that it is possible to make Slaves using kick31
which are compatible to a 68000 CPU (Don Adan)
- new: WHDLoad itself disables the interrupts of Mediator boards now
while running the installed program, this should solve problems
like freezing and gfx/sound distortion on these boards, thanks
to John Girvin and Elbox for providing the solution
- chg: WHDLoad now avoids opening the WorkBench screen after exiting,
older versions have always opened the WB if no other screen was left open,
requires at least v39
- new: WHDLoad now shows the task name on exceptions if there was a
working amigaos running, it also shows segment name and offset if
SegTracker was running (inside emulation of course)
- new: option NoMemReverse/S added to the global configuration (Ralf
Stützer)
- new: catalan translation of documentation, thanks to Manel Beltran
- new: its now possible to use special rawkeys for the QuitKey/N option
to let WHDLoad quit from a button press on the mouse/joystick/joypad
- chg: some changes to the kickemu, check history therein

AmigaOS 4: Filesystem SFS 1.274
The newest version of the alternative filesystem, SFS, now supports files larger than 4 GB as well. The changes in detail:
- Replaced semaphores by mutexes if running on the July 2007 update of AmigaOS4 or newer
- Removed support for AmigaOS4 versions older than OS4 final
- Added a new format with large file support, to use it select DOSType 'SFS\2' (0x53465302) for the partitions. WARNING: It's not compatible to the older SFS2 versions, nor to standard SFS partitions (DOSType 'SFS\0', 0x53465300) and therefore tools like SFSCheck, PartitionWizard, etc. don't work on such partitions and you can't use such a partition for booting from U-Boot/SLB!

MorphOS: Decoder for OnlineTVRecorder
Schlonz wrote: For OnlineTVRecorder which is a legal, free and mainly German Internet video recorder there is now an official decoder for MorphOS.
With OnlineTVRecorder you can record almost all German television programs. Up to 30 television broadcasts you can record simultaneously. You can record in the formats DivX, h.264-HQ-videos and iPod-video (and much more).
The service is used jut like a video recorder: Choose your broadcast, program, record and then download it. The file has the ending .otrkey. It can be not used until it is decoced.
This decoder now also exists for MorphOS as Shell-command which requires an installed ixemul-packet.
Thanks to Cyberwolf from OnlineTVRecorder for the port!

In his article serie the author wants to explain "what the Amiga was, what it meant to his developers and users and why it - despite of the early decline and its [from the current point of view] rather slight brand awareness - had so much influence on the computer industry".

USB Stack: Poseidon 3.8
The USB stack Poseidon is now available for AmigaOS 3.x in version 3.8. In addition to bugfixes in ethernet classes as well as the mass storage support, the latter was improved further, too. Moreover, a largely enhanced Egalaxtouch class is provided in the update, which allows using touchscreens, including right mouse button emulation.
Please note that the author cannot issue registrations or give support due to "company holiday" from August 15 till 26.
As Chris Hodges informs, this probably concerns the last update to version 3.x for "classic" Amigas (and Amithlon). Users who want to purchase a license are asked to do this within the next months.
The update can be downloaded via the title link or the online update function in Trident. (snx) (Translation: cad)

MorphOS: lzmaLoader
After limited disk space had led to packers like PowerPacker, Imploder or StoneCracker in the past, which compressed executable files and unpacked and launched them automatically again, such a software was now made available for the first time for MorphOS programs, too, by Harry 'Piru' Sintonen, with the lzmaLoader.
Though disk space today is no longer as limited as in the floppy disk era, the author, by all means, still sees a possible use, for compressing 64k intros, for instance. As the name already suggests, his program uses the LZMA algorithm, known through 7-Zip.

Event: games consoles and home computers - a retrospective
Press release After a long planning stage it's finally done. This year, on August,17th & 18th, there'll be the first computers and consoles retro fair that takes place in Northern Germany: "Spielkonsolen und Heimcomputer: Eine Retro-Spektive!"
The fair "Spielkonsolen und Heimcomputer: Eine Retro-Spektive" lets you experience 30 years of games consoles and computers. Travel through time with this exhibition that is built up in chronological order. Beginning with Pong, the classic tennis, Space Invaders and arcades moving to the 8bit- and the 32bit era of the home computers and from there to current consoles of well-known producers.
Experience the development and history of today's top-selling industry in the retrospective fair and ptry your skills at the numerous ready-to-play devices.
Everything from Pong to X-Box is shown, from Atari to Sony. More than 30 years of computers and consoles history.
The event takes place in Schneiderkrug, in the heart of the Oldenburger Münsterland just next to the B69 / B72 and only some minutes away from the A1 (exit Cloppenburg).
The entrance is free, and to make it worth the journey it's the same weekend when Northern Germany's biggest annual fair takes place - comparable to the Münchner Oktoberfest or the Cannstatter Wasn -, the Stoppelmarkt in Vechta. (snx) (Translation: wk)

MorphOS: Update of three Reggae classes
Grzegorz 'Krashan' Kraszewski has published updates of the classes winicon.demuxer, bmp.decoder and bmp.demuxer for Reggae which is his multimedia library for MorphOS.
The use of the transparency of 32 bit pictograms and the recognition routines for Windows icons were improved. By fixing the last mentioned one it will not happen any longer that files which start with many zero bytes are recognized as the ICO format.

Amiga Inc.: "Amiga Inc. Washington still existing"
In the course of the judical arguement between Amiga Inc. and Hyperion it has been revealed that some trademarks have not been transferred officially to Amiga Inc. (Delaware, AID) yet (amiga-news.de reported). Also in this context activities by Amiga Inc. (Washington, AIW) were mentioned, even the company was closed on September the 30th, 2004.
Meanwhile AID has clarified (PDF, 69 KB) that according to US laws a company closed by authorirties keeps on existing for another five years to remove or fix the issues lead to closure and can be resurrected after fixation of theses issues. Alternatively that time may be used to maintain the liquidation of the company.
According the trademarks AID emphasizes (PDF 1, 651 KB; PDF 2, 443 KB), that their state is meanwhile set to "ready for release" and were now transferred to AID. [editors note: After ("Publication for Opposition") there is a 30 day time frame to appeal against the registration or to apply for a prolongation of the appealing time.]
The aforementioned information is available for everyone online via the Trademark Applications and Registrations Retrieval (TARR) of the United States Patent and Trademark Office, cmp. the Amiga entries 78940417, 78940426, 78940434, 78942544 and 78942551. The latest change was on July the 27th. (snx) (Translation: ub)

AmigaOS 4: bzip2 1.0.4 and AmiDVD 1.31
For AmigaOS 4, new versions of the file compression program bzip2 as well as the CD/DVD-burning program AmiDVD were released by Jörg Strohmayer.
bzip2 1.0.4
Different from the previous AmigaOS 4 ports of the compression program, this version uses a shared library of AmigaOS instead of a static link library. The July 2007 update of the operating system is required.
AmiDVD 1.31
The current version from July 24 likewise requires the AmigaOS 4 July Update. In addition to an error circumvention for SFS, which should allow the creation of image files > 2 GB again, the directory view was partitioned into two list views for memory capacity reasons. Furthermore, the writing speed can now be determined for drives that do not support the "Get Performance" command as well.

OnyxSoft: Updates of six programs
The developer team OnyxSoft has published updates of six of his programs. They mainly contain bug fixes. Only Annotate has got some new functions.
Please note that the OnyxSoft homepage will be updated only in a few days. Therefore it seems that the files there would be old versions.
- Annotate 2.6 - (OS4) A very comprehensive text editor with a lot of functions. These are the major updates since the public release v2.5:
- Syntax highlighting with current support for C/C++, Amiga-E, AmigaGuide and XML
- Unlimited Undo/Redo: Annotate can remember where in a file you last edited and scroll there when the file is opened
- Double/tripple-click to select word, syntactic phrase, line or bracket contents
- Plus a few bugfixes since v2.5.3
- AllKeys 2.2 - (OS4, MOS) Hotkey program supporting most multimedia-keys and mousebuttons. Fixed a problem with the ARexx command being split between the ARexx command and CLI command fields
- BackUp 1.45 - (68k) Backup program that mirrors a directory structure. Fixed the annoying hit (=Grim Reaper on OS4) when starting the program
- DRemind 1.71 - (68k) Reminder program with Daily/Weekly/Monthly/Yearly/Single/Day- or Time interval reminds which will show as a small window and/or execute a file or Arexx command. Fixed a couple of more bugs regarding the prefs file and other things. You may get a warning if you have made reminds using DRemindPrefs v2.70
- DECH 1.48 - (68k) A small GUI for CLI-only compilers such as ec, gcc, vbcc, make, etc. Now using the system font also for the main GUI. Fixed the annoying hit (=Grim Reaper on OS4) when opening any of the config windows sometimes
- JoinSplitter 1.31 - (68k) Split and join files with a GUI. Fixed the annoying hit (=Grim Reaper on OS4) when starting the program

AmigaOS 4: CPUTemp.docky 52.14
Jörg Strohmayer's CPUTemp.docky shows the cpu's present temperature and the cpu load within the AmigaOS 4 dock. Changes in version 52.14:
- If IGNORETASKS isn't used it no longer uses an own method for calculating the CPU usage, requires the July 2007 update of AmigaOS4
- Now prevents adding itself twice to AmiDock
- Added UPDATESPEED tooltype

Strategy game: Tales of Tamar homepage in new design
Press release Dear friends of the roleplay game, dear players, friends and supporter of Tales of Tamar,
640 years of history are mighty. 640 years of adventures, explorations,
fights, 640 years of love, death and betrayal, 640 years of heros,
villains, dragons and virgins...
The world of Tales of Tamar starts in the 640th year. That is worth enough to give it a new design and to be ripe for the future...
We are glad and proud to present a reworked homepage of Tales of Tamar which has a completely reworked design, new graphics, clearer impression and some "hidden" surprise like completely new wallpapers.
Enjoy the new designed forum, more lively then ever before...
As eMail game with one round per day we give you the possibility to lead an empire although you have only few minutes a day.
Visit www.tamar.net, be part of the future of the chronicles of Tamar and create the future of a whole world - so in hundred years the world will tell stories of you.
For our Amiga friends: We tried to make compatible our site with the current Amiga browsers. Unfortunataly this will become more and more difficult. If you find special bugs we would be glad if you send a mail with a screenshot or a detailed description to Wolfen@tamar.net. We will try to support the Amiga commuity in future as well.
greetings,
your ToT-team
www.tamar.net

Amiga clone: Minimig source code published
Dennis van Weeren has published the source codes and all descriptions of his FPGA-based Amiga 500 clone Minimig under the GNU Public License (GPL). Van Weeren will keep on developing Minimig but he hopes that there will be more support by the publication. E.g. for debugging of the sprite engine or for the implementation of harddrive or ethernet support.

Spectrum emulator ASp 0.89b
ASp emulates Sinclair's ZX Spectrum on the Amiga. ASp is RTG-compatible and also works under AmigaOS 4. Changes in version 0.89b:
- Problems fixed when Asp was used as default tool for snapshot pictograms
- No GUI-problems if the audio ressources can not be correctly allocated
- All "workarounds" fixed for bugs in OS4-JIT. ASp 0.89b now requires the latest version of OS4.
The archive with version 0.89b only contains the emulator and requires a correctly installed ASp 0.89.
