Version 1.7 ist da:
http://os4depot.net/?function=showfile& ... x-base.lha
Welcome to the ninth release of my Unix environment AmiCygnix!
The version 1.7 brings some innovations around the topic "start of external
programs" (remote start). In addition, a Unix shell and an Amiga shell adapted
to AmiCygnix are now available.
By the complete revision of the utility library "libaos4util" for AmiCygnix
some bugs have been fixed again.
The addition of the coreutils package also removes some dependencies on the
OS4 SDK.
New in 1.7:
-----------
* All display drivers for the Workbench now have a menu for starting a Unix or
an Amiga shell. The environment of these shells is specially adapted to
AmiCygnix. A further menu item can be used to open a preference editor for
changing the access rights to the X server.
Following display driver are affected:
- picasso96wb
- picasso96wb2
- picasso96pip
- workbench
- workbench2
You can also launch these shells through the "System Tools" menu of the
desktop panel.
* Until AmiCygnix 1.6 there were some dependencies to the OS4-SDK. The
commands of the coreutils package needed by some shell scripts were not
included in AmiCygnix. Especially the ROX-Filer was affected by this.
These commands are now included and can also be used in the shells.
* Due to an error in Newlib the arguments of some shell commands were not read
correctly. Especially the backslash "" was affected. This has now been
fixed.
Especially the following packages were affected:
- fileutils
- coreutils
- sed
- grep
- flex
* The shell commands of AmiCygnix compiled with Newlib did not have wildcard
support (resolution of "*" in filenames). The versions of the OS4-SDK
compiled with Clib2 did. This has now been implemented so that no Unix shell
is required anymore for the affected shell commands.
* Contains now a special version of the ABC shell adapted to AmiCygnix called
"acxsh" for better compatibility with AmiCygnix.
* In the new directory "Prefs" is a preference editor to edit the access
rights to the X server. Important for the call of remote applications.
* A script named "Start_XServer_Only.bat" allows to start an X server without
starting an application. Is mainly intended for starting external programs.
* Update of the SSL/TLS layer "GnuTLS" to version 3.7.3. Fixes some problems
with certificates.
The following packages are affected:
- NetSurf
- Claws-Mail
- Pidgin
- uGet
- Audacious (scrobbler plugin)
- Gimp (file-uri plugin)
- UFRaw (FITS Saver)
Therefore please pay attention to updates of these programs!
* The integrated root certificates for GnuTLS and OpenSSL have been updated.
* Now includes the new GTK default theme "Adwaita", which is now also the
default theme for GTK+ 2 and GTK+ 3 programs.
* Support for GTK+ 3 programs was buggy. Bug has been fixed.
* Revised version of the preference editors "myX11Setup" and
"myX11SetupLight".
* When using the window manager "dwm" (Dynamic Window Manager) introduced with
AmiCygnix 1.5, key combinations with ALT could not be used. For key commands
of "dwm" the left Amiga key is now used.
* The library "libaos4util" used in all AmiCygnix programs has been completely
revised and all programs have been re-linked to it.
* The support of the old "threads.library" has been removed. This is no longer
needed by any of the current programs.
* The printer tool "lpr" could crash. Has been fixed.
* The data for the time zones has been updated.
* With installed AmigaOS4 SDK the commands of the SDK are preferred now with
the environment variable "PATH" of the ABC Shell. Basically general
environment variables are set at the start of AmiCygnix only if they are not
present in ENVARC:.
* Many more bugfixes...
