Piru and Bernd, working together - the next AfA_OS is going to be bloody terrific!

After following this thread, I am confident that AfA_OS will continue to improve, while becoming more stable and compatible - hats off to you chaps!

Keep up the good work,

I guess this means we won't be seeing a new version of AfA_OS released this weekend, huh Jan?

Cheers,

Just as Jan suggested, a new version has just been released:

I'm off to test it now.

Bernd, thank you for the new release.

I have just updated my AIAB installation (previously using AfA_OS v3.95), yet for some reason using v3.96 diskfont_lib.exe, the system does not boot completely.

I have tried disabling patches, including MCP, VisualPrefs etc. without success.  However, reverting back to v3.95 diskfont_lib.exe, the system boots correctly.

May I therefore ask what has changed with this file between v3.95 and v3.96?

I have uploaded an archive to http://aiab.emuunlim.com/r10.5/!bleedingedge/ and would appreciate your suggestions as to why I am experiencing issues.

Kind regards,
James

Bernd, thank you for your prompt response.

The most recent version of AIAB is the one that I uploaded a few hours ago, however this is based on AIAB r10.5 - the last 'official' release.

I have not experienced any issues with AfA-OS until now.

Finally, am I still required to use morelibspace if I am using  Scalos, and do not have the 'icon_lib.exe' installed?  As stated previously, v3.95 performed beautifully - it is just the single 'diskfont_lib.exe' from v3.96 that has introduced problems.

Kind regards,
James

EDIT: Indeed, adding c:morelibspace REBOOT to the startup-sequence addresses things, however I do not see why this should now be required if it was not necessary with v3.95 - I was under the impression that morelibspace was simply introduced in v3.94 to allow for the larger, updated icon.library (PNG icons etc.), yet was otherwise not required for font anti-aliasing, picture.datatype improvements etc.

Bernd,

>currently not when you dont need new iconlib.

But as I have already stated, I do not use the new iconlib, however the Amiga will not boot completely without the morelibspace command in the startup-sequence.

Kind regards,

James
