22.12.2006 - Update of the Just-In-Time Compiler for MorphOS 1.4.5

A new version of the Just-In-Time Compiler TRANCE has been released. The changes since the previous release are:

 
  • Fixed a bug that would make certain IBrowse CPU versions crash (at least IBrowse 2.3 and 2.4)

  • Some SAS/C float/double integer calculation fixes (lsd/asd X flag). For example, the integer version of IBrowse's javascript.library.

  • addx/subx with predecrement was fixed. These instructions are very rare, but could be used for some multiprecision math.

  • Trancestats has been updated to work properly with the latest MUI versions.

In order to install Trance v50.12 (09.12.2006) on your MorphOS system, please download the update from the MorphOS download portal or FTP server. Then, follow these steps:

 
  • Copy MorphOS/C/trance to MOSSYS:C/

  • Copy MorphOS/Libs/trance.library to MOSSYS:Libs/

  • Copy Utilities/Trancestats SYS:Utilities/

  • Reboot

The MorphOS Team wishes everyone Happy Holidays and a Great New Year!

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

 

 

10.06.2006 - MorphOS 3D Update release 2

A new version of the MorphOS 3D Update has been released. The changes since the previous release are:

 
  • r200, rv250 and rv280 cards (8500, 9000, 9100, 9200, 9250) now work on Pegasos 1.

  • Fixed a rare lockup condition on r200 (8500, 9100).

  • Fixed a scissoring problem on r200, rv250 and rv280 (8500, 9000, 9100, 9200, 9250)

  • Minor speedups and improvements

The update can be downloaded from http://download.morphos-team.net/ or the MorphOS FTP site.

 




06.06.2006 - MorphOS Free Edition Update

The MorphOS development team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of another MorphOS update for computers equipped with PowerUP accelerator cards. The included changes are as follows:

 
  • now with 666% more evil than the competitors

  • fixed A4000T mainboard SCSI support

  • added missing execute protection flags for 68k monitor drivers

  • added missing #?Monitor prefs files for 68k monitor drivers

The MorphOS Free Edition for PowerUP can be downloaded from http://powerup.morphos-team.net. We suggest to carefully read the instructions on the website as well as in the included "readme" text to make the installation process as effortless as possible.

 

 

04.06.2006 - MorphOS Updates for Pegasos

The MorphOS development team would like to inform all Pegasos owners that new versions of "parallel.device" and "rtl_8139pci.device" are available for download. The files can be obtained by registered users from either the FTP server or the usual download website.

Pegasos owners who do not make use of the parallel port or rtl based ethernet cards when running MorphOS, may skip these updates as they will not provide any benefits. Everyone else is advised to install the new files to further enhance their MorphOS activities.

 



13.05.2006 - GMX Email Service blocks morphos-team.net IP Address

As of May 9th 2006, German email service provider GMX has blocked all mails coming from morphos-team.net. Furthermore, it does not accept outgoing mails to morphos-team.net either because it wrongly categorizes the morphos-team.net IP address to be in a dialup IP range. GMX blocks any communication with hosts in such ranges by default.

Feel free to visit http://www.gmx.net/serverrules/ for details.

Please note that affected users have no way to change this behaviour by modifying the anti-spam settings of their GMX account.

The GMX customer service (support@gmx-gmbh.de) was contacted but failed to understand the problem and could not provide assistance in the matter. As it is unclear at this point whether GMX will be able or willing to solve the problem, we hereby suggest all MorphOS users with an affected email address to resubscribe to the support mailinglists with a non-GMX address. In order to do this, please fill out the form found at http://support.morphos-team.net/.

Also, please take note that the PowerUP registration process is hindered by this as well, so do not try to register using a GMX address.
