AW.net times out with a blank page for me. Is everyone else getting this too?

That was fast. Your post wasn't there when I started typing.

The master copy of the CD. All the other CDs (i.e., the ones that we will buy) are copies of this one master. Hans

@joerg It certainly is faster. On my system it still crashes when visiting this site. I know that you said that this site works fine on your machine. Have there been any updates to the shared-objects? Or maybe it doesn't crash on yor machine because you have a newer version of OS4 than me (I have the latest publicly released update). One other odd thing. With OWB running, Workbench gets a little sluggish, despite CPU usage being at almost 0%. If I double-click on an icon, it takes about half a second to open the window instead of opening instantly. Hans

The aw.net news article on it has been pulled all of a sudden. I wonder why? It certainly was relevant news (albeit sad).

I created an example how to convert a static link library to an AmigaOS4 shared library some years ago (bz2.library), but since it's a little bit more work (and this easy example only works for libraries without global data, converting libraries with global data is much more work) AFAIK nobody ported additional shared libraries that way.
An example on how to deal with per-application global data would be helpful. Quote:
One problem probably was that such libraries can only work with programs using newlib, but some people still are, or at least were, using clib2 several years after it was replaced by newlib. Now we have lots of newlib-only shared objects instead of newlib-only AmigaOS libraries ...
Well, if GCC used newlib by default instead of requiring you to use the -mcrt=newlib parameter then more people would use newlib. Hans

@Mlehto
Having Unix style shared-objects lowers the barriers to porting open-source software from the Linux/Unix world. Even though I don't like shared-objects, I think that it is a good thing to support it so that the available software can be expanded more rapidly with less effort.
People writing native software should use Amiga libraries. I'd still prefer it if people converted shared-objects to libraries where ever possible.

@joerg
So how is progress with doduo?
I noticed that integration of the Amiga port was listed as a goal in one of the milestones on OWB's trac site. I suppose that this will be attempted once you have doduo ported completely.

It's also because each time you install a new program, the installer is setup by default to add a shortcut on the desktop...
Yes, and this annoys me. Many don't even give you the option of not adding the short-cut, thus forcing me to delete them post-installation. Even more annoying are those installers that, by default, install browser toolbars, etc. Most annoying are installers that install other additional software that you didn't ask for, e.g., Apple keeps on wanting to install Safari and iTunes on my laptop; I keep on saying NO. @MikeyC TightVNC is a pretty good VNC client for windows. I've used it on occasion for viewing my Amigaone screen. One of the other VNC clients (I forget which one) always messed up the colours. AmiVNC4 definitely sends the right data; it was that VNC client that was messing things up. Hans EDIT: It's TightVNC, not TwinVNC. Corrected.

I think only Rogue or Tfrieden can answer what JXFS stand for.
I think Joerg is responsible for the new file system.
Correct. That's why I suggested Joerg as a possible candidate for J. Hans

No idea what TSK is asking about specifically, but I know what I'd do if non-power-of-two texture sizes were supported. Hans

@MamePPCA1 I think that CUE/BIN images are poorly supported in general. On windows I eventually installed DAEMON Tools which allows me to mount the image complete with audio tracks, and do a CD copy. I've never really tried it on the Amiga. Does FryingPan support it? How about manually adding the BIN file and the audio tracks to a CD layout in FryingPan? Hans

However, I believe that there is only so far you can go if you keep looking at what the operating system components can do, and go about improving them. Parts such as the datatypes subsystem or the shell's GUI are, as always, in need of improving. But, at the end of the day, how much more useful is AmigaOS going to be if there's a shell with a tabbed GUI, a datatypes system that can process more kinds of data?
Ok, I'll explain exactly what I want this for. Firstly, have a look at Quicklook on Mac OS X. I think that this quick preview of files system is incredibly useful; just click the quicklook button and then change the preview by clicking on files. The datatypes system could do this, it it were improved. Given that datatypes are also BOOPSI gadgets, animation could be incorporated into GUIs instead of people having to "roll their own." Most importantly, I've always wanted to write video editing software for the Amiga. The avcodec/avformat API is pretty-much undocumented and foreign to the system. Also, we only have the avcodec library at present. If I had a better animation datatype with an encoding API, I would have an app up and running by now. Hence my interest in improving datatypes, and improving the animation datatype in particular. Hans

@joerg Sadly, it still crashes when trying to visit http://demo.silverstripe.com. When running it from the shell, I get the following message when trying to visit that page: Quote: UNIMPLEMENTED:
(/CS/OWB_Doduo/BAL/WKAL/Concretizations/Widgets/SDL/BCFrameSDL.cpp:53 void WebCore::Frame::clearPlatformScriptObjects())
That should give an idea as to where the problem lies. Hans

I have just had a look at the avcodec lib (which has no proper documentation  ), and it handles all memory allocation for frames internally. I want to make the new API in such a way that animation datatypes writers can use avcodec.library if they wish. That way they we won't have to write our own version of codecs every time a new one comes out. Hans

I think that the animation datatype root class should take care of allocating and deallocating frames, but maintaining pointers to the previous frame (and maybe even more for bidirectionally coded frames) really is the child-datatype's job. Hans
