new OS 3.9 patches!

Bamiga2002 · 22 March 2006, 13:38

@Aminet, here's the links:

http://main.aminet.net/util/sys/OS39_update_patches.lha
http://main.aminet.net/util/sys/OS39...patches.readme

Nice to have updates to "good ol'" OS 3.9

it reads:
"These patches will result in workbench.library 45.130, icon.library 45.4, KingCON-handler (68020+) 1.8, screennotify.library 1.2.

workbench.library 45.130:
* FIXED $REV 128
* - RemoveAppMenuItem() memory leaks
* - greatly speeded up removing/adding menus (requires usage of new tag:
* WBA_LayoutMenus=$8000A050)
* - there is now safety check build into AddAppMenuItem() which ensures the
* total number of WB menu titles will never exceed allowed 32
* - copying of linked files' icons
* - copy deadlock (drag-copy of main volume icon over its child leaved-out
* drawer)
* - rename w/o changes was cutting 1 character each time
* - 12 char max size length in 'view by name' mode
* - reworked libinit/open/close/expunge - 1.3 LoadWB command now works

* FIXED $REV 129
* - fixed some bugs I introduced in rev 128
* - loader no longer tries to traverse WB path list in an attempt to LoadSeg()
* default tool file if it is described by absolute path string (such as
* 'c:iconx')
* - execute failed when script icon was clicked with RAmiga (auto win close)
* and any drawer icon was selected; fixed
* - inlined code for muls/divs replacing utility.library calls
* - fixed write access into own hunk - you can burn wb.lib in ROM now
* - dd_CurrentX/dd_CurrentY are internally scaled to WORDs to avoid sliders
* confusion and/or gfx corruption on extreme values
* - AddAppWindowA() could fail if called just after OpenWorkbench(); fixed
* - dropping an appicon over appicon caused doubleclick notification to be
* sent; fixed
* - view by name/date/type/size used pen 2 for rendering even on 1 bitplane
* screens (old bug; sould be fixed in IPrefs but I added workaround in
* wb.lib anyway)
* - hard links inside directories were not copied; fixed
* - WB got confused if there was a 'disk.info' icon present in root of a
* volume of other type than WBDISK; WB reverts to default icon now

* FIXED $REV 130
* - added new way of invoking Icon/Copy menu; if icon.library V45.4 is present
* WB uses new special tag ICONCTRLA_NewBumpRevision ($80009fff) which allows
* for longer filenames (as configured with WBCtrl tool)
* - Icon/Copy didn't copy the icon with the file (bug introduced with 45.128)

icon.library 45.4:
* 45.x - many fixes, no more memory leaks using Deficons tool etc. etc...
* 45.4 - Icon/Copy takes ICONCTRLA_SetGlobalMaxNameLength into account now

KingCON-handler (68020+) 1.8:
===============================

* - zoom gadget works with AOS4
* - fixed %A bug introduced in 1.6
* - added locale support
* - once again rewrote IM_DRAW routine for iconify gadget
* - removed workaround for xData program
* - added support for NewMouse wheels
* - fixed CTRL-D bug introduced in 1.4
* - reworked break signals post logic (should fix Reaction based ClassAction
* consoles)
* - fixed crash on window resize with NOREVIEW option (really old bug!)
* - added shell resident comands to completer
* - Complete/Enable cache didn't work as supposed (it reset NOCLOSE flag
* instead) - bug introduced in 1.5.1
* - educated screennotify support
* - fixed another old bug: referencing random ConUnit pointer on
* Next screen/Goto screen
* - fixed 'read from zero' Enforcer hits with some ARexx scripts (referencing
* fl_Volume of null pr_CurentDir)
* - misc fixes and improvements, added support for long filenames in custom
internal filename-completion (TAB) filerequesters

Settings.mui 19.18 fix:
* - workarounded OLD boring crash-bug on iconify, flushmem and then de-iconify actions when using MUI prefs

Cool!

have to set up/fire up a machine with OS3.9 and test

Charlie · 22 March 2006, 19:37

Great!!

kriz · 22 March 2006, 19:47

You're trying to be funny, eh?

Good ol'? Dude, this is the VERY LATEST OS available for non-PPC users, as 4.0 is PPC-only (and probably will always be

)
I would not classify 3.9 as old just because the version number is one tenth below the "latest" OS. I think these two kinds of Amigas dwell in two different, independent worlds.

keropi · 23 March 2006, 09:02

amazing! thanx for bringing that to our attention Bamiga2002 !!!

That was some sarcasm there

, as i'm really waiting OS 4.0 for classic Amigas to appear. At the meantime it's good to have some update to the present latest classic OS. I've played with OS 3.9 for so long that it feels like a "good ol'" friend to me

.

btw. this is my 666th post, grrrr

Great work! - have you considered posting this news to Amiga.org and AmigaWorld.net?

Forget it - this will never happen! Take my word for it.

kriz · 24 March 2006, 13:00

Maybe for classic ppc ? It have taken time but there are users with beta versions...

--Dont take my word on it though

"When its done ?"

Oh well, i'm still hopeful

Haven't registered at AW.net yet, maybe someone who has, posts this news there?

BarrySWE · 24 March 2006, 21:54

Haven't noticed anything special so far

cooldude · 25 March 2006, 04:20

Excellent!! Any update is good. You won't notice anything much since these
only cover highly unusual situations....

AMIGAZ · 25 March 2006, 21:19

I don't know if I'm hallucinating but I can't remember AGA was running at reasonable speed in this resolution, just took this screengrab from my A1200

So the patches must have done something

Doc Mindie · 26 March 2006, 01:35

720x564 256 colour, 8bit

Doc Mindie · 27 March 2006, 10:30

The Amiga can do things with 256 colours the PC is hardpressed todo with 16bit.

Heck, it can do things with _16_ colours that should still make the PC run and hide in a closet....
