Last 24-25-26th October, Colmar Multimedia Expo 2008 (France) was a great success for the "RELEC / ACube Systems / RMS Communications" stand. Many visitors and amigans came from France, Swiss, Italy, Belgium, Germany, UK and even Danemark to see in Colmar AmigaOS 4.1 running on SAM440ep, SAM440ep-flex motherboard, <span style="font-weight: bold;">MorphOS 2.1</span> on <span style="font-weight: bold;">EFIKA</span> & <span style="font-weight: bold;">Pegasos</span>, Minimig, and for the first time AmigaOS 4.1 on a touchscreen !

Some weeks back Nova Design's web site (www.novadesign.com) was hacked. Our then-host failed to detect or log the hack and lost our backups. So we decided to upgrade the site! About time too.

Only two days before the 2nd edition of the largest IT exhibition in North-East of France, Colmar Multimedia Expo 2008 (24-25-26th October), where Amiga will be represented in force on the stand "RELEC + Pegasos-Suisse.com". An unique opportunity for Amiga to achieve the professionals and the general public again !

There is another new version of NoWinED available on ShInKurO's website. NoWinED is a brand new text editor featured with all most basic text editing functions well known from other amiga text editors plus a few other very usefull ones. It's MUI based and has a highly customizable interface.

After the Release Candidate didn't show much sign of problems the final version of OpenTTD 0.6.3 was released yesterday. This is the 3rd major bugfix release for the 0.6 series of OpenTTD and fixes many small and a few bigger issues.

OpenTTD is an open source clone of the Microprose game "Transport Tycoon Deluxe", a popular game originally written by Chris Sawyer. It attempts to mimic the original game as closely as possible while extending it with new features.



For more information about the game and the download archives please visit: http://www.openttd.org/

There is new version of NoWinED (0.76) available on ShInKurO's website. He fixed several bugs reported. Among others: the main window now remembers its size and position, AROS version of NoWinED now is able to use uni.library, so all conversions are supported even on AROS. Added few improvement and changes in GUI. Added also Polish calatog.

Homeworld for MorphOS. First beta release. Read more for details.

Just when we thought that our internet could cool down for a while, bigfoot comes up with another reason to start a downloading frenzy: a new version of the Quake3 port! The shortlist of changes is as follows:

• The sound buffer size decreased and the sound mixing code has been slightly optimised.
• The mouse wheel code has been updated to be in sync with the latest Intuition breakages.

MorphOS: OpenRedAlert Project

Fab and SixK have been working on the OpenRedAlert project for MorphOS (version 407). It is from the strategy game Command & Conquer: Red Alert.  (port is based on SDL)  This is an early release (alpha/beta), so there are bugs to be worked out.

Downloads:
openredalert407.tar.gz (717 KB)
RedAlert1_SovietDisc.rar (502 MB)
RedAlert1_AlliedDisc.rar (500 MB)

This is the MorphOS build of the latest 'stable' release of Subversion, an open source version control system. The aim of the Subversion project is to create a compelling replacement for CVS. A full list of features can be found here.

For a full list of changes compared to previous release of Subversion for MorphOS (version 1.4.6) refer to the official Release Notes.

The binary release archive for MorphOS can be downloaded on my site. The archive includes basic installation instructions and a current build of the 'SVN Book' (a full and detailed documentation about Subversion) in PDF format.

WARNING: if a Subversion 1.5 client encounters a pre-1.5 working copy, it will automatically upgrade the working copy format as soon as it touches it, making it unreadable by older Subversion clients. If you are using several versions of Subversion on your machine, be careful about which version you use in which working copy, to avoid accidentally upgrading a working copy. (But note that this "auto upgrade" behavior does not occur with the repositories, only working copies.)

Subversion is a rather large package, so not each feature was and could be carefully tested on MorphOS. There might be hidden bugs or problems related to the port itself. You use this software at your own risk.

OpenTTD is an open source clone of the famous MS-DOS/ Windows classic strategy game 'Transport Tycoon Deluxe'.

A MorphOS build of the latest stable release is now finally available after some delay, so all addicted OpenTTD players can join 0.6.2 servers properly.

As a precursor to a more substantial SDK update to be released in the future, the MorphOS Development Team has prepared a package of MorphOS 2.1 system includes for interested third party developers. It was designed as an intermediate drop-in replacement for the os-include part found in the current version of the MorphOS SDK. Regardless of what MorphOS version you develop for, an update is beneficial in any case as the archive includes various fixes and improvements, such as support for the latest release of the VBCC compiler. 

In order to use the MorphOS 2.1 system includes, it is suggested to either replace the older archive with this one during a fresh installation of the SDK, or to extract the archive and then replace your os-include directory (Special note: do not simply copy the content). The package can be downloaded here.

ShInKurO has released a new version of his MUI based text editor called NoWinED. V0.75 it's its third public version. Looking at the archive list you can find there four amiga compilations and select the one of your flavour :)

NoWinED features:
- Handling of multiple files through tabs;
- Context menus;
- Search and replace module;
- Multiple file Drag & Drop;
- Basic texteditor features (C&P, select all, Undo, Redo, etc...);
- Usage from keyboard supported;
- Programmable Fn keys;
- UTF support;
- CR/LF/CR+LF support;
- Configurable backup of all opened files;
- Configurable AutoSave of current file;

To find more details read the ChangeLog file.

The autor mentiones NoWinED is his first Amiga program, so do not expect too much :) You can download the application and find out more about it on this website.

Pianeta Amiga Exhibit XII Edition will take place at Palaesposizioni Building in Empoli (Florence), Italy, on 27 and 28 September.

The MorphOS development team is proud to announce the public release of MorphOS 2.1, a free update for users of MorphOS 2.0.
