Hans is right - no PayPal link on the hq site.

I guess they don't need any more donations...

@tfrieden

Congratulations on all your hard work!

This will be a big milestone for OS 4.

It turns out I missed out on the bounty. Is there a way to fire any donations your way?


Cheers!

That appears to be an ACECAD Flair tablet. There is Linux source out there for this tablet. Have no idea how close it is to Wacom.

Wow look at those DMA writes! Almost 800MB/s. Getting close to the theoretical 1GB/s limit on a 4x Gen 1 interface.

That's your problem: JXFS doesn't support record locking, which sqlite needs. If you move it to a SFS partition (and probably recreate the profile again), it will then work.

Yes it is annoying. Hopefully the required features will be added to JXFS, considering that's supposed to be the modern next-gen replacement to FFS.


Perhaps the author of JXFS didn't implement locking on purpose.

There has been discussion of a new future file system core that all filesystems should be based on. Perhaps this will manage record locking generically?

Re: Approach of HTML5 on AmigaOne

Hey Fab

Both browsers are good! All parties involved are doing a great job moving the browser options forward.

The cross-platform work being done on OWB is great! The work being done on Firefox is also great! It brings some interesting technology (yes, such as XUL) and a large third-party ecosystem.

The good news is we are close to parity with the "major" platforms out there. One less reason to need a PC/Mac.

Nice work to all involved. Let's not quibble too much and look at how far the browsing options have come. It is quite exciting! (I'm excited for web sockets).


Cheers!
Greg

Re: When OS4 will has a Flash Player as PC?

Flash is dead.
Dead. Dead. Dead.
Dead as in parrot.

The writing is on the wall with both Apple and Microsoft ditching it as a supported format going forward (Windows Phone 7+ and Windows 8 will not support Flash). Microsoft's "clone" Silverlight is also being de-emphasized.

Work on third-party flash has ground to a halt as well.

HTML 5 is the way forward. Adobe has pretty much acknowledged that with some new tools they have recently put out there.

OS4 should be embracing HTML, possibly even for native applications. But that is something for another thread.

Search for "SPELL" on os4depot.

There is an ispell library there and lots of language support.

Isn't there some kind of networking standard?


Way back when, Apple had Appletalk, Amiga had Envoy, Microsoft had SMB.

Appletalk is now dead (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppleTalk) and Apple has support for SMB as well as AFP.

Amiga Envoy is dead. SMB support has been provided through third-party ports for quite some time. It would be nice if SMB support was integrated into the out-of-the-box install of OS4, but it is all down to time and resources.

In this Windows-dominated world both Apple and Amiga have both adopted SMB greatly aided by the open-source SAMBA project. More SMB info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Message_Block

There is a good wiki writeup on Amiga networking here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga_In ... d_communications_software

TMI? You bet!

Going from 31 to 32 bits is not quite the same as going to 64 bits..
64-bit will break everything. Every single struct that contains a pointer will become incompatible, and there are a lot of those! I'd say SMP is easier than 64-bit.

But testing for 4GB would be easy: Just have the kernel put ALL addresses in the upper region - memory, I/O, everything Make "positive" (lower) 2GB 'illegal' instead of the upper "negative" 2GB as it is now. It should be a setting so you beta testers can switch and test different software and drivers and stuff.

Should give you an indication pretty quick if something isn't up to it.


I agree - it would be nice to have full 4GB available. Assuming the OS itself is 32-bit clean any apps that are broken could be put into a compatibility database until newer versions come out.

As for 64-bit/SMP support, it would be nice if there was a "big bang" "V2" interface upgrade where the remaining warts (memory protection, forbit/permit, etc...) were taken care of at once. This is likely not possible due to the scale of the change but it would be nice to get over this in one big hump.

I'm probably way off track but when looking at Linux driver discussions I see mentions of the kernel needing some kind of firmware to drive the cards. Perhaps this firmware is doing some magic card initialization that you need?

I haven't really paid much attention to OS4 coding but the language looks pretty decent.

The lack of curly braces and semicolons is nice.

@Saimo

Ahhhh - I didn't scroll up far enough.

It would be interesting to see your tests for SFS2/JXFS on 4.1.3 for comparison.

@Saimo -

You are comparing SFS on 4.1.3 vs SFS2/JXFS on 4.1.1. Not exactly a fair comparison?

But thanks for the tests - these are nice to see.

The last maintainer was/is Heinz Wrobel - who sometimes still helps poor peole like me to use Envoy with OS4.1. It was sold by Schatztruhe AFAIK. Envoy was the "official" network file system marketed by Commodore for their Amiga range systems. But who actually *owns* Envoy - I don't know. Maybe Heinz knows...


Anybody - how does one get in touch with Heinz Wrobel?


Thanks
