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The well-known mail client SimpleMail for MorphOS got quite outdated and incompatible recently, so mail servers like Google Mail were not functioning properly with SSL anymore.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.

Airsoft Softwair is proud to announce that the Hollywood Player is now also available for all desktop platforms supported by Hollywood (AmigaOS 3, AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS, Windows, Mac OS PPC & x86, Linux PPC & x86). Although it was originally scheduled for release on June 3, 2006 (and even finished back then) its final publication for desktop systems was postponed again and again limiting the availability of the Hollywood Player to the Android platform for several years.

But now that the Hollywood Player is finally available for desktop platforms as well, software authors can choose to distribute their programs as Hollywood applets instead of stand-alone executables.

Airsoft Softwair is proud to present the immediate availability of MUI Royale 1.2. This is a major update and finally allows you to dynamically create MUI objects at runtime. In earlier versions it wasn't possible to add new windows or gadgets to an existing GUI at runtime. MUI Royale 1.2 now adds support for dynamic modification of all GUI components which allows you to tap the full potential of MUI, e.g. it is possible now to write tools like a WYSIWYG GUI builder which then exports MUI Royale XML code ready to be used in MUI Royale. Additionally, MUI Royale 1.2 adds support for further new MUI 4.x features like dynamic addition of register pages or register pages with a close gadget. Last but not least the 68000 build of MUI Royale has support for MUI 3.9 now as this is finally available for 68000 systems, too.

SoundBankster, an audio mixing application for DJ enthusiasts is available for immediate download here.

Designed for efficient use of resources, SoundBankster takes full advantage many native and exclusive components available on the operating system level, such as the new HID sensors API included with the newly released MorphOS 3.6.

The MorphOS development team is proud to announce the immediate availability of MorphOS 3.6.

In addition, MorphOS further extends its support of graphics chipsets to include AMD´s R400 series by adding compatibility with Radeon X800 PRO and FireGL X3 cards. Moreover, the latest version of MorphOS now enables laptop owners to define custom screen modes and provides default modes for increasingly common high resolution displays.

Improving interoperability and overall convenience, MorphOS 3.6 adds a new SMBFS filesystem handler with 64-bit I/O support for easy file sharing via network storage devices, a new VNC server to control your MorphOS systems remotely or even without a display, and a Synergy client for sharing a nearby mouse and keyboard with any Linux, MacOS or Windows machine that is part of your local network and acts as a Synergy server.

As usual, MorphOS 3.6 includes many more improvements and bug fixes. For a more complete list of all changes, please read our MorphOS 3.6 release notes.
