The TinyGL.library with ARGB texture support is not included?

Congratulations!

Looking forward to a public beta of Wayfarer...

Thanks for this update...

BSzilli : I confirm for tinygl, total disappointment for the SDL2 project, sorry this is a hot reaction.)

And there it is!

Yea, sorry, it didn't make it into the release (yet) as it was still considered a temporary fix to address the SDL2 issues.
I'll revisit it for 3.15 and hopefully have some time to check the SDL2 code for a proper fix then as well.

Double whammy today

No worries, I'm glad it will make it into MorphOS eventually.

Updated the mini and powerbook already - so far everything works nice.
Thanks for the update!

Excellent news! Thanks a lot to all members of the MorphOS Team!

A-EON AmigaOne X5000 Update Instructions

You will need a 500MB or larger USB disk

Prepare the USB Disk

Copy the image to a USB disk

Linux Instructions

With your system powered on, insert a USB disk that is at least 500MB into a USB port
Determine the /dev path to your USB disk using one of the below methods:
- In a terminal as su or sudo, enter "fdisk -l"
- In a terminal as su or sudo, enter "parted -l"
- Check the GParted menu in the upper-right corner

These instructions assume the /dev path to your USB disk is /dev/sdz; however, your actual /dev path is likely to be different - use the actual /dev path to your USB disk

In a terminal as su or sudo, enter the below command:

Code:

where "/dev/sdz" is the /dev path to your USB disk

NOTE: Do not attempt to copy the image to a specific partition - you need to enter the /dev path to the disk, not to a partition (use "/dev/sdz", not "/dev/sdz2")

Mac Instructions

With your system powered on, insert a USB disk that is at least 500MB into a USB port

Open the Terminal app in Applications > Utilities
Determine the /dev path to your USB disk by entering the below command:

Code:

These instructions assume the /dev path to your USB disk is /dev/disk9; however, your actual /dev path is likely to be different - use the actual /dev path to your USB disk

Enter the below command:

Code:

where "/dev/disk9" is the /dev path to your USB disk

Download "USB Image Tool" from alexpage.de

Open USB Image Tool

On the left panel, select your USB disk
Click the "Restore" button and select the MorphOS disk image


Boot to MorphOS

Begin with your A-EON AmigaOne X5000 system powered down and insert the USB disk into a USB port - remove any other USB disks that are plugged in.

Power on your system and press ESC when the boot animation starts to load the U-Boot menu.

Choose "Command Line" from the U-Boot menu

Type the following commands:

Thank you for the ongoing development en this great release :))

It works great on my A-EON AmigaOne X5000/20! Many thanks!

@xeno74:

You can write the update image from MorphOS directly, no need to boot into another OS.

* Decompress the image using: xzdec morphos-3.14.hdimg.xz >morphos-3.14.hdimg
* Write to your USB stick using: copy direct morphos-3.14.hdimg RAWDisk:Devices/usbscsi.device/0/rawdisk
* When you get the RAWDisk warning window, click "Continue". Clicking "Abort" aborts the operation.

Of course make sure you only have the target disk attached as USB storage device. If not, you might need to adjust the number after the usbscsi.device in the rawdisk path from 0 to something else.

(This should actually work for any platform, where you can boot the hdimg. I used it to update my Efika.)

@xeno74

Do you know of any way to get a X5000 to boot with dual graphics cards? With AOS4 development effectively dead I'd like to start using MorphOS more, but like most AOS4 users have only Southern Islands cards around. I can buy an older card that MorphOS supports, but then I lose 3D capability for when I need to boot in AOS4.

Any ideas?

@Chain-Q

Thank you!

Quote:

I have a good one: Hire Hans de Ruiter to write an AmigaOS4 3D driver for Radeon X1950 cards. This way AmigaOS/MorphOS users could use the same card on their machines.
Or we could do it the other way - find a willing developer to write Southern Islands drivers for MorphOS and start a bounty.

What do you think?

@eliyahu

Dual Graphics Cards

@xeno74

Quote:
So the net of that thread is that while dual graphics cards are possible, MorphOS won't boot. Did I get that correct?

I'd chip in a few bucks for that!

Updated. No problems, everything works well.
Thanks MOS Team!

Zoom slider on Ambient in conjunction with toolbar functionality has been fixed :)

On the other hand, picshow has stopped working after upgrade (jpeg freeze on system). Need some more testing about it though, before I conclude what's the exact behavior that causes the problem.

Is it possible to release the updated tinygl as temporary hotfix pls? There is a dying need for opengl hw accel. on SDL2 which can't wait a year or so before the new OS release. Basically, it prevents us from enjoying all these cool new gaming ports that we currently have :/

Impressive change-log and poll() is support now. Nice work!

@Cool_amigaN

What makes you think you will have to wait a full year for another update? You have already received two MorphOS updates this year.

[ Edited by ASiegel On 2020/10/6 10:29 ]

Updated both my PowerBook and MacMini last night and all working well.

Thanks MOS Team for keeping making this OS better and better.

Congrats!

In the Changelog there are some fixes of the Rtl8168 network driver mentioned. Does this mean its' issues with Gigabit Network Switches are fixed?

Updated to MorphOS v3.14 yesterday . . all went smoothly (almost needless to say), but seemed to be quite a lot more data to be written than with previous releases.

MorphOS v3.14 has built on the previous work that our great development team have seemingly "worked their socks off" to bring us, so there's even more to be content and happy with. Not much actually "New" (aside from Scout - another jacadcaps implementation) in there, but lots of work/fixes all the same, so thanks to the whole MorphOS Development team - so maybe there's time for a short period of relaxation, some R&R . . . . . Phew !! . . . Oh Yeah, that feels good baby !![/b]

Right, that's enough . . . back to the grindstone !!

Quote:

The ICU (internationalization support) files take most of the additional space. These are required by Wayfarer.

@ jacadcaps - I thought it just might have been as a result of some system requirements that Wayfarer might need as not much else seemed to have been changed in the usual way that MorphOS operates, apart from fixes that seem to make up the majority of work in v3.14.

I noticed that quite a lot of text is rendered in white, and that's a nuisance. I changed some of the text to black for Wayfarer by amending MUI text options - MUI > Windows > Text changed to Black from White, but I still get some requesters rendering text as White, which is barely viewable on a light grey background in requesters, which seems to have got implemented in the MorphOS release itself - tell me if I'm wrong, and where to change it to suit me to be Black text? As it's really annoying.

[EDIT] Additionally, when using OWB v1.25 or v1.26, now that I've installed v3.14, when it generates an error requester, and even in the Downloads window it now also displayed "ghosted" the menus that would be displayed in the main window, such as, Project, Edit, View, etc. - so what has changed in the OWB background that has instigated this reaction when error requesters/Download windows, etc. are created within OWB?

As it never happened previously!

These guys are still at it. Very impressive.

I acquired an A4kT and have been having fun playing with it. Fired up my Powerbook G4 and..lol..Its much more useable. I mean its fun playing with the A4kT, getting it online with Roadshow, buying IBrowse, getting Samba working but MorphOS is where its at.


EDIT:
where is the changelog?

Thanks for the update!

As always, thank you!

Interesting reading the changelog. I dont know if its just me but *I THINK* this handles app crashes better. Meaning, I was messing around with ADFs that have original Amiga software and just to play around I'd run it. Sometimes when software crashes it seems as though it confines the error and my system continues to chug along without issue. I wish I had a better example but both systems (G5 and Powerbook) are both on 3.14.

Updated and running perfectly! Great work team.

Im enjoying MorphOS and wayfarer a lot.
Only a question. What is the benefit of using TLS in exec?

> What is the benefit of using TLS in exec?

That's what the release notes say:

"TLS API [...] is used by libpthread and gcc threading"

Whatever this means in particular ;-)

Is there a bug tracker somewhere? i think i have found a still persisting translation error.

It seems i can crash Ambient reliable by removing a (non existing/changed) entry from a toolbar and then click outside of the config window. It goes into 'this application is meditating'.

Also, the battery indicator on the screenbar is black when fully charged to 100% and the power cord is disconnected. also shows like -1000 mA draw or something.
