Today you can find the preview and the try-outs of the Amiga Future 63 (November/December 2006) online.

A more detailed preview and try-outs can be found under http://www.amigafuture.de/forum/kb.php?mode=article&k=577 .

Since this is our last issue in this year we have a small gift on our cover CD. Besides of many fullversions for the Amiga (ApanoSin, Breathless, Conquestador, Erben des Throns, Fools Errand, Labyrinth of Time, Magic Island (untested!), Manager, NewTracker AHI, T-Racer, The World Of Magic 1, The World Of Magic 2 ) you can find also over 100 fullversions for the C64.

Further there are some tracks by Andreas St?rmer, AmiKit 120 incl. tutorial videos and much more.

The Amiga Future can be obtained as a single issue or subscription.

The driver can be downloaded at http://home.elka.pw.edu.pl/~mszyprow/progs/ext2filesystem/.

Yomgui is proud to present you his first Python version with dynamic modules support.

You can download it as an .LHA archive by this link:

http://www.yomgui.fr/python/arc/python-2.4.2-mos_6a-final-20061010.lha


Important notes:

- All past Blender releases that were compiled with Python generation < 6 will no longer work and may even crash your system. The binaries will be rebuilt with the new SDK and uploaded shortly.

- The distutil module works for simple modules, so you can follow the tutorial inside the official docs to create your own module.

- If there is time, the author will create a tutorial in French about the proper handling of modules with the MorphOS Python version.

- During non-regression tests, there were some tests that generated sone HITs and crashed the oython.library (as "test_richcmp"). Hence, this version may potentially contain some fatal bugs (=crash).

- Please remain the support of the thread module only!

At the moment a complete rework/update of the different travel guides is in progress. Further there is an extension of the information about parks with better maps for a more precise route calculation. Of course the emphasis lies on the German map because of the much higher demand. The network of streets is uptodate including recently opened highway sections.

If someone wishes his residence to be included (even the smallest places!) in the map just write a mail with the name of the location, Geo-coordinates and information on the street connections (description and the exact distance to other locations).

As always we are searching for helpers for data entering! Lists of coordinates are always welcome... Alternatively also helpers for the entering of the data into the maps themself.

There are also possibilities for the view and print od data in various formats like HTML or PDF instead of AmigaGuide.

Under the URL http://gallery.amigafuture.de found you some pictures from the Classic Computing 2006.

Due to a movement to a new server our homepages were only partly accessible the last days.

Unfortunately the onlineshop also was also nearly a week offline.

But now the switch to new servers has been completed and the Amiga Future page and all APC&TCP pages are accessible again.

Also the onlineshop is ready again.

Because of this there have been also failures in the processing of mails. If someone has put an order and hasn't received a confirmation mail please get in contact with us.

At this point we want to remind you that the switch of the BBoAH pages hasn't finished yet. Many users link directly to the German/English starting pages. Soon they won't exist anymore. The only valid domain is http://software.amigafuture.de.

Just in time for Pianeta Amiga 2006 (where I will be present together with Andrea "Guruman" Maniero, Michele "miki060" Magliocca, and a man whose name, nickname, and role will be unveiled in the next future), I make available the new version of MorphOS: The Lightning OS. There are corrections and small additions, but the really important fact is that some translations were completed. Italian, German, and Russian versions are already available; the French translation should follow later.

Freespace:The Great War, the space simulation game is now available for MorphOS. Works with both datafiles from PC and amiga versions. Also Freespace2 was updated. Read more for details.

It's been a while since last time, but that doesn't mean we haven't done anything in the meantime. Following is an update on the newest stuff happening over at Aminet.net.

With great regrets we were notified today that Michal Rybinski died yesterday in a motorbike accident. The MorphOS Team would like to express their deepest sorrow and condolences to Michal's family and friends.

Michal was a MorphOS developer and he helped a lot on past MorphOS releases.
