tra cui l' interessante nuova library spellchecker di Antoine Dubourg, alias @Tcheko
http://czeko.free.fr/public/spellchecker-1.0.lha

Antoine Dubourg a.k.a. Tcheko released its latest production : spellchecker.library 1.0

This new library offers spellchecking feature based on a dictionary of words. It uses common and efficient spellchecking algorithms : double metaphone and Levenshtein distance (used in major Office package like OpenOffice, AbiWord...). This first release is aimed mainly at developer as no application currently uses spellchecker.library. Currently, this library offers '(s)low' performances : spellchecking is done with a simple lookup table. Further version will include faster spellchecking with the help of btree.library to the price of 'huge' memory consumption. Tested with a french dictionary of more than 330.000 words, spellchecker.library took more than 80MB of memory excluding its usage on low end hardware like Efika. Some benchmarking were done to evaluate the spellchecking speed : up to 1 000 words per second was achieved on a Mac [email protected] with the btree version of the library.

Still, further version of the library will be designed to handle low memory case to accomodate every kind of hardware. This library also has been wrapped and tested with OWB which offers internal API for spellchecking.

aggiornamento da @Piru in merito a PFS3 in MorphOS2.x

Quick update:

Due to renovation in my flat I don't have access to any MorphOS box. This didn't stop me from working on PFS3 though. It took a while to get the cross compiler setup working on AMD64 but we were finally successful.

I've replaced all the assembler code with C and fixed the code enough to make it build with GCC. The code builds and links ok, but is largely untested. There are still some issues that need to be fixed though: For instance there actually is some static data that needs to be removed in order to be able to place the filesystem inside the boot.img. The porting process has gone rather smoothly so far.

Obviously there's still PFSDoctor and other tools that need to be ported as well.

ulteriori interessanti commenti di @Piru in merito a PFS3 (thread completo dell' argomento in Morphzone http://www.morphzone.org/modules/newbb_ ... 05&forum=3 )

Meanwhile the new code will remain mostly untested, and while it will likely end up in the SVN soon I would seriously caution anyone from trying it yet. NOTE: The changes do nothing to the SAS/C 68k build of course.

As a precaution I'm leaving the MorphOS Makefile uncommitted for now. That should stop all but the most dedicated testers I think


Q: Hmm, inside the boot.img; Is this something you guys are targeting to a MorphOS 2.8 release already, or will it come in 2.9?

A: Honestly I'm not sure yet. I'd guess it depends on if the source can be brought to PFS 5.3 level (I think it's very close already, except for PFSdoctor) and the remaining bugs fixed (I get the "Beta warning requester #1" with the 68k PFS3 5.3 while the bug is supposedly fixed!). Also, I'd very much like to see the PFS3 softlink support improved (it doesn't work very well with ixemul and relative softlinks, making GG environment on PFS3 partition slightly painful to use).

Of course there also is the current 100GiB partition limit which kind of sucks as well. There are some ideas on how to raise this limit, but I think all those result in incompatible filesystem... As you can see there are a lot of things to consider.

Q: Although I guess meanwhile, a damaged PFS3 partition with MorphOS native PFS3 could still be fixed with the 68k version tools?

A: Yes, as long as the FS remains binary compatible. For instance raising the partition size limit would require new repair tool (I think).

However, the 68k PFSDoctor is somewhat buggy & picky about the environment it is run on: Basically I run it by booting without the startup-sequence (and without invzeropage!) and then launching the app. The GUI is quite horrible GadToolsBox mess and works only so-so. Perhaps a MUI GUI could be created for it.

una cosa che trovo interessante di Morphos, è come da esso vengano rapidamente inglobate le novità... e come anche pezzi di codici della scena possano diventare dei must.

PFS3 filesystem portato in MorphOS2.x da Harry Sintonen, alias @Piru

Update:

I just finished porting the tools, including PFSDoctor (but it should be added that a lot of work remains to be done: testing, bug fixing, perhaps adding a MUI GUI to PFSDoctor etc). This leaves FloppyPFS basically. I'm not sure there's much use for it.

nuovi aggiornamenti interessanti:

viewtopic.php?f=40&t=14653&p=171173#p171173

IceFileSystem 2.4 e LittleCMS 3.0

2.4 (2011-April-11)
Deleting file larger than "Max recycle bytes" no longer empties recycle
dir. Max filesize in recycledir is now "Max recycle bytes" / 16. (if set).
New (optional) environment variable: ICE_AUTORETRYIO. Set it to 1..n
for number of automatic retries of failed io requests.
Smaller bug in automatic renaming of recycledir files fixed.
action_seek() allowed seeking beyond file with internal error
requester as result, fixed.
IceSalv did not preserve file dates, fixed.
IceCheck fixes/improvements.
FSConfig got renamed to IceConfig.
VInfo got renamed to IceInfo.

notizia piacevole:

RELEC http://www.relec.ch , distributore/rivenditore Amiga, propone una competizione a livello di programmazione, con in palio una postazione EFIKA 5200B "DELUXE EDITION", dettagli ed ulteriori informazioni di seguito



Competition for programmers

RELEC society in partnership with website http://meta-morphos.org organizes a competition open to all programmers on the planet.

A development machine for MorphOS is to win: it's a EFIKA 5200B "DELUXE EDITION", a unique prototype proposed by RELEC. The list of elements is given later in this article.

Developers will send their proposal of project (which must operate at least on MorphOS and AmigaOS 4.x) by mail before May 31, 2011 at the following email address: papiosaur2 [at] hotmail.fr.
The list of all projects will be posted June 1 at the site meta-morphos.org
Voting will be by mail to the same address before 1 July.
The voting results will be posted on the website from 1 July.

The development machine will be presented at the Alchemy 2011 (France) and it will be up when the project is finalized.
In case of withdrawal or no results available after 2 months it will send the machine to the developer of the project ranked second, etc. ...
If the winner needs to develop this machine, it will be sent after 1 July.
The delivery of a diploma for "Best Project MorphOS 2011" will be officially presented at the Alchemy 2011 that will take place from 11 November to 13 November 2011 at Tain l'Hermitage (26 - France).

The development machine is composed of:

- A EFIKA 5200B motherboard,
- a housing epoxy polished,
- a Radeon graphic card,
- a PSU,
- MorphOS 2.7 or higher with its license,
- the latest pack Ultimate,
- MorphOS SDK pre-installed,
- carrying case.

Mmm non ho capito, è una competizione in cui sono accettati anche progetti su OS4 ma si vince una macchina in grado di far girare solo MorphOS

Mmm non ho capito, è una competizione in cui sono accettati anche progetti su OS4 ma si vince una macchina in grado di far girare solo MorphOS

perchè il futuro "OS Amiga NG" è MorphOS2.x
Probabilmente perchè l' Efika è l' hardware nuovo più economico e presumibilmente meno venduto considerando le scarse performance rispetto al più economico e datato sistema Apple Macintosh G4 supportato in MorphOS2.x

[samo79]

perchè il futuro "OS Amiga NG" è MorphOS2.x

Ah opinione del tutto soggettiva quindi, non mi pare un buon modo per incentivare uno sviluppo condiviso ed una qualsiasi unità tra le due parti ... mah.

[AmigaCori]

In effetti e' anomalo, ma dal punto di vista di RELEC posso capire, il divario di prezzo tra HW nuovo MOS (Efika) e AOS4 (Sam) e' grande e cosi', IMHO, hanno puntato solo su HW nuovo MOS come premio Amigoso.

[Alblino]

Si appunto Relec vende sopratutto per Os4 poteva regalare la
vecchia Samflex possibile che con Acube non riusciva a
farne saltare fuori una revisionata magari.
Si vede che era troppo costosa come regalo.

[NubeCheCorre]

o magari non ce ne sono proprio più... acube ha sempre detto che per produrre la 460ex, le 440 dovevano finire, quindi nuove non ce ne sono e probabilmente neanche revisionate.. alla fine, per quanto "brutta e cattiva" fosse la 440, é esaurita
