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...?

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

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

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.

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! :)

Work gets in the way!

I know that feeling!  I keep saying I want to do all this stuff with my Miggy's, and you know what I wind up doing instead?  Playing Moria for five minutes of distraction from work.  And man, I still suck at that game.  Just got killed at level 4 by a white worm mass, FML!  :(

I might have a little something-something coming for Christmas though... you can guess what it is!  :D

I am sadly in the same boat, no time for play, still need to reconfigure my Amiga so I can finally win Cannon Fodder!

I just updated Aros Vision and yes the first window has disappeared

Well that is annoying to be honest, I guess it's up to them what they want to do.

Would like to know why they have decided to do this?

How is it annoying? Great gift of one of the few applications I've installed on every Amiga I've owned. I don't feel bad having paid for it, since it doesn't really change anything.
