HomeBank V3.1 released
After several beta versions, Maxime Doyen now released the final version 3.1 of his program HomeBank under the title link. This version fixes a major bug in the Define Payee & Define Category section, which was leading to instability of the system and sometimes crashes (especially on MorphOS and AmigaOS4).
It also fixes any reported/found other minor bugs and suggestions of changes. No new functionality has been added, though. Furthermore, the author would like every user of HomeBank to subscribe to the corresponding mailing list. (snx)

MUI: BetterString.mcc / HotkeyString.mcc under LGPL published
After having saved the source codes of the known MUI-Custom class BetterString.mcc and HotkeyString.mcc
from the hard drive of the former author Allan Odgaard the complete source code has been
published under the GNU Lesser Public License (LGPL) as Open Source and has been put together
in a seperate project on Sourceforge.net.
Interested developers are encouraged to take contact to the
current main authors (Jens Langner and Ilkka Lehtoranta) if you want to develop further
BetterString.mcc and HotkeyString.mcc.
Probably there will be a new version of BetterString.mcc/HotkeyString.mcc which will
also include native PPC versions for AmigaOS4 and MorphOS.

Search for the Best Websites of Germany
Everyone certainly knows about the problems with search engines. When you type in your search words you get a long list of hits, but most of them don't have a thing to do with what you're looking for. However there's an unusual searcher that's been established, one that targets the websites that you're really after. "Turn the page, don't Google it" is the new trick to find your way in the Internet maze. The "Web Address Book" is a reference work in book form.

CAD: Full version of "Cycas" released to Aminet
Cycas is a program for architectural drawing in two and three dimensions. Additional to the normal CAD function Cycas offers some special elements and techniques for architecture and construction drawing.
Perspectives, isometries and planar views of a building can be rendered as line graphics and can also be reworked.
3D data can be exported in different exchange formats to programs which can render graphics from the data. That allows a rapid and high quality simulation of buildings.
Further development of the Amiga version is put to halt currently, for that reason the latest full version is now available for free.
For further information about the Windows and Linux versions of Cycas
please visit the official website.

Amiga User List: GAUHPIL database reworked
The GAUHPIL (Geographical Amiga Users Home Page Internet List) is a MySQL based database created and moderated by Dietmar Knoll. It contains website addresses of Amiga users, that can be questioned by continent and country.
Additionally, it features a flexible search function.
In the past few weeks, the PHP scripts have been completely reworked and new functions have been added. The former country search links have been replaced by "real" country lists and a few more flags and internal links have been added.
The moderation script now finally allows to add new links, that have been mailed to the moderator. Nevertheless, the preferred way should be that interested users type in their data themselves.
Currently, the GAUHPIL lists 730 users from 39 countries.
The number of users for each country can be found on the page "All Countries". (snx)

Mac emulator: Basilisk II ported to MorphOS
Ilkka Lehtoranta has ported Basilisk II version 0.9 to MorphOS. The open source program by Christian Bauer emulates a 68k Mac.
The MorphOS version is an early release with only a very basic user interface and - as it seems - a bug with the palette on 8 bit screens.
Ethernet, SCSI and audio output should work, the author doesn't take any responsibility if the program leads to unwanted system damage.
Usage requires a so called "OldWorld" ROM as well as a 68k version of the Mac OS (up to version 8.1). Mac OS 6.0.x, 7.0.x and 7.5.3 may be downloaded for free from Apple.

TextEditor.mcc: version 15.10 released
After the saving of the source code and releasing the MUI custom class TextEditor.mcc under the open source licence LGPL it is now available for download in the first public version (15.10) on the project homepage of the Texteditor.mcc open source team.
Next to some long awaited error fixes in this class PPC native versions for AmigaOS4 and MorphOS were created that are included in the archive.
As it is the first public open source version and some assembler coded parts had to be ported to C the authors point out that there may occur problems especially when importing and exporting text.
In this case the authors ask you to to fill in a Bugtracker report with a description as it is standard with open source projects on sf.net.

MorphOS: Demo version of Pixel32 released
A demo version of the image/photo/animation painting/editing and retouching application Pixel32 has been released also for MorphOS (screenshot). The MorphOS version requires PowerSDL by Ilkka Lehtoranta.
This is an alpha demo version of Pixel32. It may still contain bugs, typos and even unfinished functions. Especially the PowerPC versions are quite new and may be not as stable and usable as the x86 versions. If you find any bug or Pixel32 crashes, please e-mail the .debuglog file from Pixel32 directory to the author with a small description what you were doing.
In the demo version there are two limitations: a visible watermark in images and a small annoying dialog box informing you about using only a demo version.

IOSPIRIT: Amiga pages moved, news from the web shop
IOSPIRIT's AMIGA pages, for already some time now, have moved to
amiga.iospirit.de. Since there were no other product pages until now, the company domain has redirected to this subdomain until now. With the release of the IOSPIRIT's Mac software "Picture Arena", the redirection has been changed to picturearena.com. The AMIGA pages will of course stay online. Regarding the company domain, a portal site is planned for the future, that will then also link to the AMIGA pages.
Further news:
The shop system has been reworked from ground up. Orders can now be
made much easier and faster - an accout is no longer required.
Furthermore IOSPIRIT GmbH now accepts American Express credit cards in
addition to Visa and Mastercard. The free bundling of drivers
introduced with the last promotion will be kept. The VHI RS232 and
IOUSB DigiCam driver packages will be bundled with VHI Studio, the
IOUSB Scanner Package will be bundled with fxSCAN respectively. They
come for free at no additional cost, but therefore without support and
functional guarantee.

MorphOS: native versions of MPEG de-/encoders for Wildfire7
"wf_mpeg2decode" and "wf_mpeg2encode" are the MorphOS versions of the free MPEG video loaders and savers that are part of the Wildfire7 distribution.
The two files have to be copied into the directory "system/tools/" in the Wildfire7 main directory. The already existing files have to be replaced with the new ones - the author recommends to create a backup of the old versions first in case problems with the new version should arise.
It cannot be guaranteed that the programs run on all systems, the modules have been tested on a Pegasos 1 G3@600mhz.
Saving of a test animation as MPEG file with the 68k mpegsaver needs 1 minute and 42 seconds (with JIT) while the PPC native version takes 16 seconds.
If there are any questions please contact Andreas Küssner via e-mail. Our thanks go to Oliver Hummel for compiling and doing various tests.

Tales of Tamar: Not enough prospects for "The Great War of Anarrow"
Dear Amiga community, unfortunately there are not enough prospects for our free
action "The great war of Anarrow" (14 at all, 11 Mosianer and 3 Hombres). Therefore
the war will not take place.
But we give a last space of time of one week. If there should be more than
50 persons on each side the war will take place.
We want to invite all interested players to use the shareware option and
to play the game for a while for free.
Greetings,

Status report: "Die Kleine Gilde II" & SN-archives
Since the last version of the realtime strategy simulation called "Die Kleine Gilde II"
there have been some changes.
For details please have a look at the developer-diary.
The new version of Die Kleine Gilde II is in beta test and will be published in one
or two weeks. If you have suggestions, bug reports, registrations or simply some feedback
you can contact this special
e-mail-address.
News from the SN-archives:
Since November the account management called "SN-KontoArchiv II" is in development.
The input of account data has already finished. Currently the input and output statistics
are added. SN-KontoArchiv II is the successor of SN-KontoArchiv I and ist not
compatible to the previous version because all source code of this version has vanished.
SN-KontoArchiv will be part of "SN-Archiv-Paket".
Those ones who have already registered can also use SN-KontoArchiv II without any restrictions
Status of SN-EuroArchiv II:
SN-EuroArchiv 1.9 is also in work. The entry list can be now adapted with up to
17 columns. The HTML-support for KMS and special coins was also improved.
Now it is possible to determine the colour of special coins in KMS (KMS-HTML-site) or
to determine the special coin from the KMS (special coin-HTML-site).
Just like above: Send suggestions, bug reports, registrations or other feedback to
this e-mail-address. (cg) (Translation: dr)

For a longer time AmiTCP-/Genesis-users reported problems when AmiSSL was used.

Oliver Roberts (IBrowse, AmiSSL) now provides an unofficial patch for the mentioned
TCP-stacks under the title link.

Database: MUIbase V1.9
Today version 1.9 of the Amiga-database MUIbase was published. News and
improvements in this version:
- New program functions: DAY, MONTH, YEAR, DATEDMY, MONTHDAYS, YEARDAYS, ADDMONTH, ADDYEAR, APPLY
- Improvements for TRIMSTR and REPLACESTR
- New start functions when double clicking in virtual lists
- Internal optimations which speeds up Lisp-code
- Better support for Amiga OS4
- Option for external program sources
Besides this there is now a MUIbase "light" version which does not have all the functions
of MUIbase. Structure editor, program editor and ARexx-port are missing. MUIbase light
can be freely copied and is available for i386 Linux and Windows.
A GTK V2.4 installation is required. In future MUIbase light will be completed to a
full version.
For discussions and feedback concerning MUIbase there is a
mailing list.

AmigaOS 4: Movie-Player "Mplayer" Preview 4 (Update)
Under the title-link you'll find a new beta version of OS 4 port of Mplayer (screenshot). The most important changes in comparison to the last release:
- Speed raised about 25-30 %
- New video and audio drivers (vo sdl, ao sdl, vo jpg, vo png). Full-screen display is possible without any problems using the SDL drivers (change to it from window mode and back with "f"). Because of missing hardware support the full-screen mode is still relatively slow. The JPEG and PNG drivers convert a video to a series of single pictures
- Streaming video/audio is supported (untested)
- Support for "playlists"
- Support for more codecs
Known problems:
- The SDL drivers fails to start when there is no corresponding resolution available

Tales of Tamar: New Amiga Version 0.53-R2
Beloved Amiga Community, the time has finally come that we release a new Amiga version. Only now, finally, has it become ready, and we're now going to demonstrate our unbroken Amiga loyalty.
Perhaps we can also tempt you to participate in this unique roleplaying game. With the action of the "Great War of Anarrow" we gives you the possibility of participating in this game and its special community. It is of no import to us which computers you use. It's all the same whether you choose Pegasos, AmigaOne, UAE, Amithlon, Classic Amiga, PC or Mac. They all have the possibility of participating at least in the shareware version. Become acquainted with nice humans and to increase your circle of friends.
Further, we'd like to notify you that Amiga dealers already offer Tales of Tamar at reasonable prices. It's been available on eBay for about a year for 9.90 euros (approx. 14 dollars -DM) and at Vesalia the remaining stock is 39.90 euros (approx 65 dollars -DM). As soon as this remaining stock is gone however, the price will rise.
[long, long list of new features and much other article text not translated -DM]
We wish you a lot of fun with the new version, and remind you to first make a backup, before you install the new version, you never know what could happen!
-Your ToT team

MorphOS: Developer Utility ChocolateCastle Released
With ChocolateCastle V0.1 Grzegorz 'Krashan' Kraszewski has released a tool that helps programmers to assemble BOOPSI and MUI classes (screenshot).
ChocolateCastle provides systems for such classes on the basis of the developer's defaults. You can indicate the name of the class, the superclass, the generating method (including the respective dispatcher entry) and the message structure that is used. The program produces compiler-ready source code as framework for the programmer to further fill out.
Extension of ChocolateCastle's functionality is planned for future versions by the incorporation of shared LIBRARIES, external Boopsi and MUI classes, as well as complete MUI applications further in the future. Comments, suggestions, feature requests and bug reports are welcomed by the author.

Update of xml2.library to Version 4.0
Newly-available Version 4.0 of xml2.library allows the reading, processing, and writing of XML and HTML data.
The DTD support contains the analysis and validation of even complex DTDs, either during the parser entry or later after the modification of the document. The output is achieved in a simple SAX stream or a DOM-resembling representation in memory. In the latter case the built-in XPath and XPointer implementations are used in order to select subnodes or ranges. A flexible input/output mechanism is available with existing HTTP and FTP modules combined in a URI library.

EvenMore: Textviewer now with datatype support
A new Datatypes plugin is available, allowing EvenMore to load any text document supported by datatypes (e.g. via DocDatatypes, etc). The executable and Generic plugin have been modified to allow this Datatype plugin to work.
EvenMore plugins take precedence over the Datatypes. If you have a document that you prefer opened via a datatype rather than through an EvenMore plugin, simply delete the EvenMore plugin (not forgetting to flush the memory), and reload the file.
I have also fixed a major problem with the language catalogs. Unfortunately I had deleted some unused strings in the executable, and this meant some strings appeared in the wrong place. Make sure you download the new executable and the EasyGUI Prefs plugin to fix this. Thanks!
The new versions of EvenMore and its extensions can be downloaded under the title link in the Download and the Plugins area, respectively. (snx)

Amiga Java: status report about JAmiga project
Under the title link you can find a short status report about the Java implementation "Jamiga". Version 0.0.5 will soon be available, interested developers can already download the "daily snapshots" and compile these.
The source codes are prepared for being compiled under AmigaOS 3 and MorphOS. Whether this can be done under AmigaOS 4 is unknown, the developers ask for feedback about this.
The new version implements now for the first time the "JNI" interface. This makes it for external developers possible to create Java native libraries that are built like the shared libraries known from the AmigaOS.
