    Hi,

    bugs should be gone and we have added new functions and the apps (store and dlm are quicker) and the download speed is now for times higher by default (you raise it further)

    I could need some help.
    This is the first version which allows to add coins to your account.
    So the first one reporting a bug or "bug-free" report for each platform will get 1000 indiecoins for free which equals 10€.

    So far i tested the OS X x86 version on 10.10.1 (because of gatekeeper, please run dlm first and than the App Store - this is only needed for OS X >=10.9) and so far it seems to work flawlessly.

    Downloadspeed is now 4 times higher by default. You can raise it further with editing the chunk size in the configfiles.

    First one (others will follow later):
    OSX intel
    http://aeros-os.org/guistore/MacOSXx86.zip

    OSX PPC
    http://aeros-os.org/guistore/MacOSXppc.zip

    MorphOS
    http://aeros-os.org/guistore/MorphOS.zip

    A full change-log is included in the archive.

    --------
    A reminder: First top 10 devs will be chosen end of this year and reward n january. This will happen month for month....

    -------
    Well I have no MOS machine. Does MOS also use png files (renamed to info) as icons?
    Could someone help me to add the icons? What size should the icon have ideally on MOS (is scaling supported)?

    Yes.

    Scaling is supported. That said, the default icon size is 64 x 64 pixels. It is worth mentioning that the default icons were specifically designed to not touch the outer borders. In other words, they are slightly smaller than the available space (excluding shadow effects). To take a look yourself, just download the ISO file and rename any of the icons to ".png" files.

    Thank you.
    Do they work?:
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9349609/AppStore.info
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9349609/dlm.info

    Is it needed to define a stack or any icon info to make it work?

    Thanks for helping out.

    In short we will release ami-wallet (a simple wallet) which allows to send/donate indiecoins to developers (not to users). Developers can than also add a donate button to their websites.

    My intention is to allow my customers/donors/users to choose for themselves where money belongs too.
    So instead bundling a standard selection of applications, they get coins(cashback) to chose alone.

    Soon we will release a new client.
    As sort of hotfix you can open the file "changeling.txt" and remove the content.

    Than the client should work.
    Could someone verify this please on MorphOS?

    This is the link to the old version (please delete the content of changelog.txt to check if it is working then)

    I just tried tried to purchase and download the three Hollywood tutorials.
    The DLM produces 100% cpu load, but no bytes went to my hard disk.
    All in all the complete interface is extremely slow on my Power Mac G5.
    regards

    Can you please try this to see if it downloads after editing the chunk size to 512 or more ?

    If you edited the prefs you can also run the dlm exe without launching the AppStore.

    We have released an updated client for MorphOS:
    http://www.indiego.rocks/file/downloadApp/f84c0118ef4d53d9ed6241a1a37b6fa6

    Changelog:

    - FIX : The bug that was causing hangs showing text with long sequqeces of asterisks, dashes, dots and so on should be fixed now.
    - NEW : Dropped the old file-based communication system between the AppStore and the Download Manager (DLM), now both programs talk each other using local network messages.
    - FIX : Fixed and improved the notification system, now important messages from the DLM will be showed using notifications pop-up.
    - NEW : Added support for JoyPad/JoyStick to the entire interface system and to all requesters.
    - NEW : AppStore and Download Manager can safely run separately.
    - FIX : Huge optimizations of the libServer, one of the core libraries used by the AppStore to access remote server.
    - NEW : If the Download Manager is not running and the user make an action on the AppStore that require the DLM to be performed (for example a download), the AppStore will ask the user if he want to execute the DLM to accomplish the task.
    - FIX : Now if the DLM is not running when quitting the AppStore the requester asking if we want to quit also the DLM will not be showed because unecessary.
    - FIX : When the terms and conditions was not accepted by the user, at the next run, a message showing an abnormal end was showed.
    - FIX : When the user log-out and log-in in the same program session an abnormal end wrongly was detected.
    - NEW : Complete overhaul of the debug system.
    - NEW : Because of the new communication system between the AppStore and the DLM and a new implementation now the connection to the remote server is much faster.
    - NEW : The application's details screen now show also the author name.
    - NEW : Enabled the configuration section, now the user is able to switch the fullscreen mode on and off, switch the animations and transitions on and off, switch the special effects (shadows, background, borders, etc...) on and off, and is also able to configure the keyboard and the joystick/joypad.
    - NEW : Changed and optimized many interface-related options to increase the application speed and smoothness.
    - FIX : Downloads now go into the right folder also on the MacOS X versions.
    - FIX : Hundreds of minor fixes.

    ::: TIPS :::
    - Now the AppStore comes with all the graphics options switched off, if you want some eye-candy effects please use the new settings section to adjust it to your personal taste.
    - Depending on your system and your screen resolution you may find the interface slow: try to reduce the resolution using the new settings menu.
