31.3.2003 gW3S goes open source
|
Carl Svensson: "I've decided to make gW3S an open-source project. A lot of people have been
improving on the code of my Sharp release,
but I'm no longer very interested in continuing the project myself, as part of the programming
team. Therefor I hereby declare gW3S as OPEN SOURCE according to the gW3S OPEN SOURCE LICENSE
- please take your time and read about this."
"We have decided to fork the gW3S distribution into two branches: The v1.x branch will continue
to exist and will work on any base install of AmigaOS3.x with a TCP/IP stack. The v.2x branch will
require some third-party software, but will also provide more functions. gW3S v2.0 is in it's
final stages. Expect to see a release here some time soon (at least before the release of AmigaOS4 ;-)"

26.3.2003 Amiga Arena Interview with Matthew Kille (ZeoNeo)
In the current press release from the Company "ZeoNeo", you can read that they will release
"Candy Factory 2" for the AmigaOS 4.0. Many from you knows the name through products for the
AmigaDE. After Candy Factory was in the beginning Sharware, later the Company "Motion Studios"
developed on it and was commercially distributed by "Titan Computer".
Now the original developer Milan Pollé is back and ZeoNeo will release it for AmigaOS.
Candy Factory is a real-time graphics tool to create for example buttons, logos, banners, etc.
The results are just as good as you would expect from a ray-tracing/rendering package.
So the Amiga Arena talkes to Matthew Kille, why they now support AmigaOS 4.0 and how they came
in contact with the original developer Milan Pollé, the creater of Candy Factory.
So, you will find some Screenshoots from Logos that were create with CandyFactory.

although not perfect (it may stop a little before the end). Also, for some streams,
you will have to close the window yourself, AMP no longer quit automagically. This

24.3.2003 Poseidon USB Stack Update 2.0
Chris Hodges: "I've just uploaded the current work in progress version of
Poseidon.
Although the version number has been bumped to V2.0, it contains mostly bug fixes.
Please don't be disappointed, if you would have expected more from this release.
I've had a lot of things to do (e.g. writing the driver for the cool Algor board
and the FlashRom tool for the Romulus/Algor) and then again, I'm only coding on
my spare time.
Nevertheless, this is a free update for all registered and licenced users except for one.
This "Rat" has to stick to the old version. Support is something bilateral.
People who had problems with their digital cameras using the CB or CBI transport protocol
(remember, Class 8, Subclass x, Protocol 0 or 1) could try again with the new mass storage
class. It might work. I've spent some days with the USB Floppy drive I've borrowed from
a friend of mine and works with it.
Also, AutoMounting has been improved, so the manual mounting process required by a few
devices/media should be worries of the past.
As usually, there are new binaries for MorphOS aswell (and if somebody missed the news,
the Pegasos USB driver by VFD has been released into the public a week ago). Anyway, stay
tuned, there is more to come. Enjoy the update."

23.3.2003 Cinemaware Statement
"Hopefully you know who we are as Cinemaware, as we are well known for our past Amiga games.
We are of course doing new titles as well as you can see on our web-site
www.cinemaware.com. We had also started a series of
"Digitally Remastered" titles with clickBoom for a while - but unfortunately that has gone badly. [..]
We understand that some of classic Amiga/Cinemaware fans have been concerned about certain
news spread around by clickBoom, the Canadian developer which Cinemaware has employed to develop
the "Digitally Remastered" series of games. At this point Cinemaware would just like to make
a simple statement that clickBoom's allegations are false and misleading, and that we will issue
an official statement in the future regarding this matter.
In reference to this, Cinemaware would appreciate if anyone involved in the below cases come into
contact with us as soon as possible, writing to
cinemaware@cinemaware.com:
http://www.mhd.mh.se/~rutgers/cb/clickboom.html
http://www.amigagadget.de/39/f.int.juiceteam.html
http://personal.inet.fi/koti/janne.karppanen/tekstit/quakeppc3d.txt
As you can see history tends to repeat itself.
In the meantime, we appreciate your support and understand your frustration at not being able
to see more "Digital Remasters" coming out soon. We are working hard to resolve this situation.
We are looking for expert Amiga/PC coders to continue the development of the series.
Please look out for exciting news regarding Robin Hood: Defender of the Crown soon!"

"CeBIT is over, 8 days of hard work are done! Genesi's first CeBIT was very successful. We had a lot
of interesting talks, many many interested visitors and made some very prosperous deals.
We cannot go into detail on every single one of these, and obviously there are some (actually
quite a few) things that we cannot disclose just yet. There are some things that we can share
at this point, however:"
Kato Development
Kato has developed sound card drivers for about 10 different audio chipsets. These include AC97
codecs, the Creative audio cards but also several Terratec models. Genesi will help Kato in every
way they can to port their drivers to the Pegasos/MorphOS system, so Pegasos users will have
a wide variety of additional soundcards to choose from.
Mediapoint
Genesi hired the main Mediapoint programmer who already started to work full-time on completing
the next generation version of the package. They are aiming for an initial release this summer.

our long-term partner GGS-Data. The scandinavian
Amiga-community is very active and most notably creative, therefore we're especially
looking forward to this event!
With a little luck, we'll have our latest product in our luggage: After an extremely
long wait, the soundcard Delfina
went into production. Nearly one year ago, we announced the last technical changes, that are
already outdated today. The most important change is probably the split of the product
into two boards. The updated product description
confirms what many people already assumed since the Catweasel MK3 PCI/Flipper
is out: The new Delfina is a combined Zorro/PCI card. The first stage of this high-end soundcard
will be available in Germany starting April 7th, 2003. Pre-orders are taken by our retail partners.

TTEngine 6.3 tried to open V38 of mathieeesingtrans.library and therefore failed on OS older than 3.5
(pre-3.5 version of this library was 37 not 38). Failed initialization revealed next two bugs related to resource

6.3.2003 Amiga Absence at CeBIT
"Late last year, Amiga announced its intention to launch AmigaOS4.0 at the CeBIT show in Germany.
Since then, the project has advanced into its final stages but unfortunately not to the point
where we are ready to ship. We have thus decided not to attend the Cebit Germany show. Instead
we are looking at other shows and opportunities in the near future to provide a suitable platform
for the launch of the new Amiga.
We apologize to the commmunity for waiting until the last possible moment to make this announcement
but despite heroic efforts by all concerned, even up to the last minute, circumstances have
conspired to push completion beyond the deadline. We have regretfully decided that making CeBIT
Germany the AmigaOS 4 launch platform is not a realistic option at present.
AmigaOS4.0 is coming. Beta-testing has been going on since last September, the Club Amiga Magazine
is previewing many of the new features and AmigaOne integration is proceeding well. Amiga, Hyperion
and Eyetech are 100% committed to getting the new platform out into the world and reintroducing
the world to the pleasures of home computing.

5.3.2003 Scala on your Workbench becomes reality with Hollywood & Malibu
Malibu is a plugin for Hollywood which contains an import filter for Scala presentations.
As soon as Malibu is installed, Hollywood will suddenly be able to show Scala presentations
or compile them. Many screenshots are now available from the Airsoft Softwair homepage.
With Malibu it is now possible for the first time to display Scala presentations on Workbench
screen or on your own public screen. Because the whole emulation runs on top of Hollywood's
multimedia application layer everything will be first converted to 24-bit and then displayed.
In many cases the quality of the pictures that Malibu displays is much better than the
original Scala quality because Scala often had to remap many pictures with very different
colors to a 8-bit display which resulted in a massive loss of color information.
Malibu emulates nearly the whole Scala command set and supports all Scala versions up to
Scala InfoChannel 500 which was the last Amiga version of Scala.

The Malibu plugin will of course also be released for MorphOS and - as soon as available -

1.3.2003 AROS News
New CD-ROM and Floppy versions of AROS on-line using the new SVGA graphics drivers.
You can now use Hi-Colour(16bit) and True-Colour(32bit) graphics. It still has bugs,
as noted in readme, but it should work.
There seems to be some issues with the ATI Radeon series of graphics cards
(The ATI Rage series work fine though), if you have one of these cards, please wait
until authors have sorted out this problem before you download.

1.3.2003 AmigaOne-G3 and AmigaOne-XE benchmarks
Here you can find the
first benchmarks for AmigaOne-G3 and AmigaOne-XE computers.
The author ("ksk") points out in a thread on Amiga.org that these benchmarks had in no way
been done under "scientific" conditions, but are supposed to give an impression of the
performance of the motherboards.
Benchmark results for Pegasos computers are said to be relased soon.
