WHDLoad v18.2
« on: December 24, 2015, 12:14:43 AM »
Per EAB http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=80807 , WHDLoad will no longer require a registration key.

18.2 (23.12.2015)
- chg: the WHDLoad install script speaks german now
- fix: some small fixes in the Autodoc file (Psygore)
- fix: small fix in the supplied ITD program to avoid problems while
detecting the destination device
- new: RoadShow added to the example Startup/Cleanup scripts
- fix: dumping of loaded files via resload_DiskLoad was broken
- fix: due to small internal buffer the argument parsing when started
from the CLI did not detect a bad argument (Psygore)
- fix: the blitter wait check (ChkBlitWait/S) now resets the internal
run flag also at word reads to dmaconr on the 68030,
previously only bytes did that (StingRay)
- chg: WHDLoad no longer requests a keyfile and it is no longer
possible to register WHDLoad, if you have a keyfile it is
still loaded/checked and your name will be displayed in the
splash window, Thanks to all registered users!


However, the history file over at
WHDLoad http://www.whdload.de/docs/History.html does not reflect that. But furthermore, the registration page http://www.whdload.de/reg.html throws a 404.

Can can someone confirm if this is true? Maybe download and test? I would but currently don't have a working suitable machine.

That kind of makes me sad.  I paid for it, I enjoy paying for quality software like this.  I guess they don't want any more money?  I hope this doesn't mean they're going to stop developing it...?

Can only speculate why.... but you're right, hope development doesn't cease. Would be sad.

In any case, this is a big boon to anyone who's not registered it or using it yet!  :D

True! Could be news worthy if confirmed true! :)
I'm surprised that AmigaNews http://www.amiga-news.de/en/ hasn't hopped on this with the announcement of the latest version.

Confirmed, btw.  18.2 will display your name if a key file is present, and no nag requester if it isn't.


Thanks for confirming Mike! :) This is great news! Should be made NEWS!

Gizmo, what's up with your 2000?


All is well but I haven't had a dang bit-o-time to transfer the working OS back from the SCSI drive to one of the new CF cards! Work gets in the way! :lol: Haven't even had a chance to get the little buggers out of their packaging. I have a few days off at Christmas time so hope to get that done! Again, thanks for testing the new version Mikey! :)
