"It's not exactly bliss and angels in the Amiga world. AmigaOS 4.0, while done, released, and updated, is hard to come by because you either need a supported classic Amiga, or one of the three Amiga Ones ever sold. With a lawsuit underway nobody really understands, and no interest whatsoever from any hardware vendor, the future looks rather grim (...)"

It would be nice to have an OS X user that tested the latest Git head at least once a month so we could avoid these kind of problems. 2.10 was a broken release for OS X since I don't have such a system for testing.
Changelog:
Heikki Orsila (14):
web: update web pages for uade 2.11
uade123: add --scan option to scan directories for songs [PERFECTIVE]
uade123: Cleanup code for --set=x [PREVENTIVE]
uadefs: add ".wav" postfix to each file that is playable [PERFECTIVE]
uadefs: disallow creating files on uadefs [PERFECTIVE]
compat: implement canonicalize_file_name(3) for OS X 10.5 [ADAPTIVE]
uadefs: implement flush() operation [PERFECTIVE]
uadefs: cleanup cache_block_read(), remove MAGIC_LENGTH [PREVENTIVE]
uadefs: remove ctx->start_bi, it is always 0 [PREVENTIVE]
uadefs: add a comment on ctx->end_bi [PREVENTIVE]
uadefs: add sound data cache [PERFECTIVE]
uadefs: invalidate old cache entries [PERFECTIVE]
uade123: uade123 -t0 should always end the song immediately [CORRECTIVE]

DeliPlayer Page down

Venku Skirata's Avatar  Hi there,

seems the DeliPlayer Homepage is down forever (this account has been suspended).

Sad thing, hope The Special Brothers (or someone else!) is going to continue the Project, as it was one of the Best Players for all module formats on Windows platform.

* Improved 3D hardware accelerated screen-dragging
* Reworked AmiDock with true transparency
* Reworked Warp3D Radeon drivers with new functionality
* And much, much more.

icon  Amiga Future 73 (July/August 2008) - Out Now
Posted by AndreasM - 03 July 2008 16:18
AndreasM's Avatar  The Amiga Future 73 (July/August 2008) has been released. This means that all subscriptions, pre-orders and dealer supplies have been shipped.

Now it's out of our hands and up to the postal service when the magazine actually gets to you.

In this issue you'll find recent reviews of OWB, MySpellChecker, Sputnik, Deneb and lots more. Needless to say the specials like Game Endings or a report about Jagged are also in this issue.

Also in the magazine, we have an interview with the makers of NatAmi and Thilo Köhler.

You can find a more detailed description of the full content at: http://www.amigafuture.de/kb.php?mode=article&k=2649

Amiga Future is available as a German and English print magazine directly from the editorial office and also through some Amiga dealers. Amiga Future is also available as a single issue or by subscription, each with or without a cover CD.

As always on the Amiga Future cover CD you can find lots of PD software and some full versions like Hoi, Clockwiser and Real3D.

We ask all interested users to order this issue as soon as possible because we print only a few magazines additional to the subscriptions and pre-orders.
