• This release includes two fixes from IBMers that haven't yet been checked in: Joseph Samake's rewrite of the locale code and Jeff Kobal's faster tiling (which provides a gain in speed/efficiency well worth the cost of an ephemeral minor transparency bug).
• The vicious webshell-spawning that triggered when trying to load a local text or nonexistent file with the last preview binaries is now gone.
• You can migrate your Communicator/2 profiles to Warpzilla. When you launch Profile Migration, it adds your 4.x profiles to the list of those available. The actual migration only occurs when you select one of the Comm/2 profiles. It doesn't alter the Comm/2 versions, just converts them to Warpzilla format and stores the results in the Users50 directory.
• Among other little improvements you may notice:
  • The Software Installer works
  • Icons have been added to Composer's tag view
  • FTP directory listings show up and downloads work, although the tree interface takes a bit of getting used to
  • Dates and times appear in mailnews listings
  • Context menu mouse-selection is back.

NOCTIS is a program for astronomical data processing. The program features an optimized FITS format images viewer with photometrical capabilities, and also allows astronomical catalogs reading for charts creation. To allow the user to gain the experience in using NOCTIS are also included into the package some images and a star catalog. It seems that astronomers like OS/2 cause it's the star of the OS ;-)

GOGO kodiert auf einem K6-2 315MHz etwa doppelt so schnell wie der original LAME, wobei die Qualität etwa der des (älteren) LAME gleich ist.

• unter anderem nochmals um 8% schneller.

• ChartAspect: Upgraded 16-bit legacy limit (30000) to INT_MAX, so that also the most important aspects are included in the aspect list...
• GetAspInf: Orb power weighed and smoothed by a sine function (less than half orb means more power, more than half orb means less power, power changes very slowly at the extremes). Jyotish houses: Sign influence revised so that Asc and MC go as sidereal.

• Jyotish houses: Sign influence calculations now treat Ascendant and MC signs same as those for the 1st and 10th house respectively (i.e., same as if the sidereal zodiac was used). Fixed: The internal show seconds setting could be wrong in some cases.

• Virtual Disks erlauben einem das herumexperimntieren mit Partitionen ohne irgendwas wirklich auf die Platte zu schreiben
• W2KBM schützt den IBM Bootmanager gegen aggresive Windows 2000 chkdsk-Operationen welche den Bootmanager Daten Sektor schädigen können

• 'Auto Start' Funktion hinzugefügt (wenn der Ansichts-Modus auf 'ALL' steht).

Major enhancements are:

• New user interface (split window with contents always available)
• Select and copy direct from window. Including keyboard selection
• Remembers size & position
• Most recently used files list
• Smooth scrolling display
• Always see where in contents current doc is
• Loads file into memory instead of leaving it open
• Can go forward as well as back in history
• Various options (colours, fonts etc)
• Annotate help files - notes are displayed within topic
• Fully resizeable even with multi-windows
• More search options.

What things DOES it display?

• Contents
• Index
• Text
• Links
• Bitmaps
• Styles & alignments
• Examples (fixed-width, no right margin)
• Multiple windows*

* Window Handling: Since it is not designed in the MDI (Multi-document interface) model, NewView has to do some odd things to handle multiple windows as they are specified for View. The results seems to be generally acceptable, but this depends on sub-windows not being listed in the contents tree. This is the case for the OS/2 Toolkit docs, the main examples of multiwindow usage. NewView is freeware, and probably GPL'd too.

This is the most major release ever. First preview code for web serving is included as well. The list of changes, fixes and improvments is to long to write here, but this is really the time to check out IPS. IPS is a highly configurable multiprotocol server application allowing you to create your own ftp, web and/or mail server using your OS/2 or Windows machine. IPS supports FTP, HTTP, POP3 and SMTP protocols. If you are running a dual OS setup IPS can use the exact same configuration on both OS/2 and Windows.

File Commander is a 32 bit text mode file manager and shell that allows you to locate, copy, move, delete, view, edit and execute your files in a quick, convenient and customizable manner. It's main display provides dual directory view panels that may serve as source and destination of a copy or move operation or just two different views of your files. A panel may also be used to view a directory tree, drive statistics or may be turned off altogether, making visible the output of previously executed commands. A command line is also provided and operates in conjuction with the directory panels to make it much more powerful than a regular CLI including pasting file names from the panel, a command history recall window and command completion from history.

What's new:

• Fixed file with spaces in pipe commands.
• execmode -sp executed on pm123.exe so it now runs in WarpServer 4 SMP
• Patched notebook loading problem with Default display settings.
• Adjusted equalizer dialog frequencies to correspond with new mpg123 values.
• Fixed auto-play on load when another stream is playing.
• Implemented new decoder, filter and output plugins. For this beta, very little plug-ins are fully functional.
• Playback of playlist does not close the output plug-in between playback of the entries anymore.
• "Use this playlist" and next/previous now loads the ID3 Tag.
• "Default display" now works everywhere.
• Playlist now continues playing after selecting a song from the playlist.
• Drag and drop from the playlist to main window now works properly.
• Random button does random playback again, not sorting. Random is also much faster than it was in beta 2. Use "Random" in the Sort submenu if you want to do playlist shuffling.
• Repeat and Random playback state are now reloaded after launch.
• Fixed random crash when adding with recurse, I hope...
• Repeat now works in all conditions.
• Adding to a playlist before the current loaded song now updates its index.
• Deleting from a playlist before the current loaded song now also updates its index.
• Directories can now be added from the "Add to list" file dialog. This is basically a hack in the file dialog. Unless you manually type the path, the directory will have to be selected in the directory listbox AND it must be the current directory listed in the file listbox AND the filename entry field must be empty, or "*" or the default "*.*".
• HUGE playlist (~900 songs and more) are now able to load.
• pm123 doesn't crash when loading playlist from the command line for an already opened instance. This includes .m3u since they are now loaded as playlists.
• Fixed problem when loading playlist and a song from the unloaded playlist was already playing.
• Deleting entries from a playlist doesn't auto-use use it anymore.
• Sorting by size and time is now much faster.
• Loading entries from the playlist now actually loads the right entry, not just the one with the same exact filename. but this basically makes it faster...
• Added support for WinAmp style .pls playlist files including SHOUTcast. Titles for SHOUTcast servers are loaded from the .pls so you see all the neat stuff like the load of the servers when you load the playlist.
• Fixed problem loading HTTP URLs with no path like on SHOUTcast.
• Included procedure in netscape.html to properly configure pm123 as a Netscape Navigator helper application.
• Fixed memory leak when removing entries from the playlist.
• Streaming buffer now works properly and continues playing buffered stream even if read operations are stalled.
• Broken HTTP connections are now properly canceled and closed on stop.
• Added workaround for timing problem in DART for setting volume right after the device is opened.
• HTTP URL with no filename like SHOUTcast now show the complete host instead of interpreting it as a filename. Title streaming is on its way...
