Carsten Siegner has released Hyphen 2.8.8, a static C library for handling dictionary-based hyphenation of words.

Supported hypenation dictionaries can be found here. To use any of them, download only the files with "hyph_" at beginning, unpack them and then use any files with ".dic" at the end.

Carsten Siegner has released a new beta version of his desktop publishing application Calimero. You can download it via the following link: Calimero_beta_0.7

From Friday 27th of February until Sunday the 1stof March 2015, the Amiga Club Osnabrück and the Amiga Club Steinfurt will be hosting another user meeting.

If you are interested in MorphOS, you are welcome to join us. In addition to various Pegasos systems, you can expect to see Mac mini, PowerMac, iBooks, PowerMac G5 and Efika systems. Of course, other hardware platforms are very welcome as well with at least one AmigaOS4 system announced to be present .

If you want to bring your own hardware, please inform us as soon as possible because the space for external users is limited. Of course you can always just stop by for a visit if you like.

I know a laptop running MorphOS takes no big space and is portable, but I still need to know about the number of attendees. So if you are interested, please contact me as soon as possible.

The participation is as always free of charge.

An upcoming feature of Calimero 0.4: A Powerpoint (.ppt) loader.

The screenshot shows the early days of this new development. After extensive research, I became familiar with the structure of the PPT file format.

The parsing of pure text found in ppt files is rather trivial whereas parsing pictures is more challenging, but I found sufficient information about how to do so on the internet.

More information will be shared in the near future.

Last weekend took place the third edition of the μAlchimie to Clérieux (France) organized by the TrippleA association. A gathering of AmigaNG users (AmigaOS 4.x and MorphOS), Amiga Classic, retro consoles and computers.

The general assembly of the association WArMUp took place during this event. The new statutes of the association are available on this link.

Here are photos and videos of the gathering proposed by K-L:

The well-known mail client SimpleMail for MorphOS got quite outdated and incompatible recently, so mail servers like Google Mail were not functioning properly with SSL anymore. Also AmiSSL is quite patchworked, so I ported OpenSSL into SimpleMail. All newer SSL/TLS protocols are working with SimpleMail-MOS now. Additionally I fixed a bug in the IMAP folder index implementation, so huge IMAP accounts can be fetched now.

I released that as a fork called SimpleMail-MOS in which I will add features and fixes particular for MorphOS. When the authors of SimpleMail make some changes to their client in future I will merge them into this fork to keep it up-to-date.

You can find the source and a download link here: https://code.google.com/p/simplemail-mos/

While DigiBooster 3 replayer routine is available from some time as a static library, having it as shared one has some advantages. First applications using it may be smaller, secondly, updates of the player engine may be installed by users, applications need not to be recompiled. The library may be downloaded from MorphOS Files. The archive also coinatis developer material and source code. The package is licensed on BSD licence.

Finnish Amiga Users Group hosted the traditional Saku 2014 retro and vintage computer event in Tampere, Finland on September 20th, 2014. International guests of honor were former Commodore/Amiga president Petro Tyschtschenko from Germany and Cloanto/Amiga Forever's Michael Battilana from Italy. Over 200 people attended the successful event. Petro (and Michael) were interviewed in front of the audience by Finnish Amiga Users Group's Janne Sirén and video of the speech is now on YouTube.

SoundBookCreator_0.1 is a creator of EBooks with sound.
It puts a whole collection of mp3 - files together to a single EPUB file.

LibMaker is a GUI based tool generating code skeletons of shared libraries. As such it is the successor of old ChocolateCastle program. After entering specifications of a library and its set of function, LibMaker generates a complete, ready to compile project template, with makefile and standard include files. Version 0.11 can generate a shared library skeleton for MorphOS or for AmigaOS 3 (M68k). Defined library projects may be saved for later reuse or adding new functions. LibMaker preserves existing functions, so library can be developed incrementally. The program features extensive bubble help, so there is less need to look at the manual. LibMaker is distributed with the source code on BSD license and can be downloaded from the MorphOS Files. Future versions of the program will handle BOOPSI and MUI classes, as well as generation of code for AmigaOS 4.

Lua Explorador is a GUI based source level debugger for Lua programs. Version 0.5 released yesterday, supports passing commandline arguments to debugged scripts. The feature handles both the standard Lua arg[] table (including a script path in arg[0]), and MorphOS specific argline variable. The program is available in our downloads section.
