Commodore Amiga News<br />

and it uses Zune instead of MUI (MUI can be activated<br />

if necessary). MESA/Gallum needs 256 MB RAM and works<br />

with greater than 16bit colour depth although is slow.<br />

Changes:<br />

-all system files updated<br />

-Zune and MESA/Gallium activated<br />

-Netsurf updated (much faster)<br />

-Themes added<br />

-Development (GCC) updated<br />

-most files from contrib/ports (AROS) integrated<br />

-Zuneview added<br />

-FlashMandelNG added<br />

-Free Pascal updated (to 3.1)<br />

-Amiblitz updated (newest snapshot)<br />

-WHDLoad updated<br />

LoView 2.80 released<br />

LoView was an easy to use viewer designed to let the user<br />

choose what to do in a fast and comfortable way. Supports<br />

many file format(depending on DataTypes you have installed)<br />

and may save in JPG, PNG, IFF or BMP file format,<br />

so you can also delete/copy/move/ rename/save a rotated<br />

or flipped image for example or maybe only convert an image<br />

in another format you like...<br />

Here a list of changed/new features:<br />

- Fixed some really annoying bugs, Reworked Exif reading<br />

routine with support for some Pentax Makernote TAGs added<br />

some new more standard TAGs to be shown, Added a<br />

complete preferences editor with also an easy installation<br />

procedure, now the LoView menu was a system friendly<br />

menu when LoView works in windowed mode, now preferences<br />

was stored in ENVARC:LoView/ and no more in the<br />

LoView icon(the old ones can be imported from old LoView<br />

icon while installing), The SlideShow routine was now completely<br />

reworked to grant the user a full immersive new<br />

mode(now you can switch SlideShow in complete FullScreen<br />

and change also background colour if you like)so you<br />

can nicely slide your honeymoon or trips or whatever you<br />

like photos to your friends/parents with your Amiga on<br />

your home TV :), Added a NEW prefs "Load ALL" that can be<br />

selected to pass the entire file list to LoView without prescan<br />

directory for valid files in that way the image will be<br />

Download and download-condition from:<br />

http://www.aros-platform.de/downloads/Aros_Vision.zip<br />

loaded same time than with SinlgePic pref selected but you<br />

have the whole filelist available in the Jump To window to<br />

choose(wrong files will be eliminated while loading), now<br />

the Crop function doesn’t draw a fixed crop area but that<br />

can be resized<br />

clicking on the borders while using the hand-pointer, Added<br />

the new preferences NoOutpuError that skips silently unsupported<br />

files(really useful if you load huge directory with<br />

not so much supported files and use tighter the LoadALL<br />

preferences), added iconify functionality from the menu,<br />

added the ability to drag drawers over the LoView icon in<br />

AmyDock instead of only single files.<br />

*** The LoView experience was now 10/15% faster thanks<br />

to new Hollywood 6! ***<br />

Ancient Amiga Running School Aircon<br />

One Ancient Commodore Amiga Runs the Heat and AC for<br />

19 Public Schools. The 30-year-old computer has been running<br />

day and night for decades. Somewhere in Grand Rapids,<br />

Michigan, there is an ancient Commodore Amiga that is hard<br />

at work. For over a quarter century it has been controlling<br />

the heat and air conditioning at 19 different schools and running<br />

nonstop. It's still kicking, for now anyway.<br />
