WarpJPEG.datatype 45.12 - now with AltiVec speed boost |
| Software News posted by Futaura on 15-May-2015 14:25:45 (3548 reads) |
 A new faster version of WarpJPEG and associated WarpDTPrefs has been released, bringing AltiVec speed optimisations to AmigaOS 4.x and MorphOS users, making JPEG decoding at least 1.5x faster than before, along with several other improvements for WarpOS and AmigaOS 3.x also. You may be aware that I originally wrote the jpeg.datatype supplied with AmigaOS 4.x, but now WarpJPEG outperforms it by some considerable margin.
Full list of changes:
* Added AltiVec speed optimizations for the OS4 and MorphOS versions
making decoding speed of baseline images 1.5x faster on a G4 and
1.9x faster on a PA6T, with fancy upsampling off, on average.
With fancy upsampling on, the AltiVec speed gain is even greater -
1.9x faster on a G4 and 2.3x faster on a PA6T. These optimizations
can be toggled off/on using the new USE_ALTIVEC setting.
* Huffman decoder in PowerPC versions is now 5-10% faster.
* Reintegrated higher quality fancy upsampling smoothing feature from
IJG jpeglib v6b which had not been present since WarpJPEG 45.5 due
to its removal from IJG jpeglib v7 and higher.
* MorphOS and WarpOS versions recompiled with VBCC 0.9d.
* Added new set of benchmarks for OS4 (benchmark updates for other
platforms suspended until my A1200 motherboard has been repaired).

Public Release of MorphOS 3.8 Featuring Sam460 Support |
| Amigaworld.net News posted by ASiegel on 15-May-2015 10:55:23 (10514 reads) |
The MorphOS development team is proud to announce the public release of MorphOS 3.8, which introduces support for ACube´s Sam460 series of mainboards and numerous Radeon graphics cards from AMD´s X1000 and HD series. In addition to various performance improvements related to the Quark kernel, Exec, 3D graphics and video playback, MorphOS 3.8 also adds the ability to use state-of-the-art 4K displays in their native resolution. For a more extensive overview of the included changes, please read our release notes.
As usual, existing MorphOS users can update to the latest release entirely for free. Sam460 owners who are interested to register MorphOS for their system will be able to do so for 49 EUR.
We strongly urge new users to carefully read our installation and troubleshooting guides before they attempt to install MorphOS for the first time. Existing users can upgrade via the familiar procedure but are encouraged to read the guides as well. MorphOS 3.8 is available for download in our files section.

AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition ISO images for download |
| software OS4 posted by Cyborg on 14-May-2015 14:08:34 (19458 reads) |
Brussels, May 14, 2015
We at Hyperion Entertainment CVBA are more than thrilled about the overwhelming success our customers made out of AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition! Thank you!
Actually the success is so great, causing especially the supply of AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition for Classic to dry up during the last weeks and some of your preferred dealers even ran out of stock already, which is of course unacceptable!

I have just uploaded first version of Aros Vision X86 1.0
It is "Windows hosted" that means it can started as a application without needing VMWare or dedicated hardware and without any installation. Disadvantage: no sound or network support. That also means that software that requires network does not start (the case for some games). Most applications work. It is also suited for developers to test software.
