just a quick question, i've noticed if i edit and save config files, and do a typo then log window pops up reporting an error so the stack monitors any change on the fly.


That is correct. Except for the network interface configuration files and the text database files (services, networks, etc.) every other configuration file is tracked and reread whenever its contents change.

So yesterday tried with roadshowcontrol to change tcp.recv/sendspace and windowscaling on/of while downloading an ubuntu iso, to see if there was any difference, but the difference didnt happen before i've aborted the download and redownloaded.
So i made this quick little arexx script that monitors keys and put a tcp.sendspace and tcp.recvspace increase/decrease with c:RoadshowControl to better find the sweetspot,
and seemed to work, but was wondering if such a live autotuning existed already in the  stack ?


It exists, but I do not know the details. The TCP protocol is largely auto-calibrating, optimizing throughput according to how fast the receiver can process incoming data, how many segments have to be retransmitted, how much memory is available for assembling segments which were received out of order, etc.

I must say that I'm quite positively surprised by the MorphOS support shown here!

Great! :D

The update 2 file is still the same as the previous one?
Also how can customers of the full version get a newer archive? just redownload through the customer portal? tbh I didn't try that yet, since there's a download limit it seems?

I made an installer for Roadshow on Morphos, since the orginal installer doesnt work and if it worked it would install lots of config files for amiga hardware.
It also lets you skip to install the firewall and ppp/ppoe stuff for adsl users

It doesnt touch anything in your existing Morphos system or network config so if you install you have to manually disable internal netstack and run Roadshow 68K manually (s:Network-Startup is renamed Network-Startup.off) Doubleclick from Ambient to start or rename to Net-Startup to let Roadshow start at next boot.

It also let you tune internal Roadshow settings based on calulations you enter
to better find settings spesific to transfer rates and more suited to system with more memory and not low-mem 68k classic systems, as this stack is aimed at... might boost you browsing speed...

After tuning I got tripple transfer rates in OWB downloads, compared with orginal unaltered Roadshow settings.

you need a working arexx tho...

As of this writing the archive files which I updated yesterday are not available yet. I don't know what happened, but the new archive files are bound to show up soon.

As for the changes, I updated the ReadMe files in all archives (MorphOS update, demo version, full version) to briefly show what's new.

In this case, the network interface configuration files for MorphOS were all updated to allow them to be used with static IPv4 addresses.

Also, three new MorphOS network interface configuration files have been added for the older "mpc52xx_eth.device", "mv6436x_eth.device" and "rtl_8139pci.device" network device drivers. That should (hopefully) cover everything.

In truth, I haven't figured out yet how to make patch files available yet... I'm open to suggestions, since I haven't quite found the time yet to plan ahead this far.

The recent changes only affected one shell command and a set of two (now five) network configuration files. These files are identical in both the full version and the demo version.

Hence, you could download either the demo version and copy the respective files manually, or you could pick the MorphOS update archive and copy the files from that archive. The recent changes and additions were for the benefit of MorphOS users only, and you're not missing anything if you run Roadshow on a 68k Amiga and have not installed the updated files yet.

The "core" of Roadshow, namely the bsdsocket.library (which is different in the full version and the demo version) has not needed updating yet.

Cool! I'll have a good look at it. Maybe I can fix the existing installer script for Roadshow myself, so that it works better with MorphOS.

@AndreasM

Still the old archive here at http://www.amigafuture.de/downloads.php?view=detail&df_id=3662.

Edit: Ah, nevermind, so the files are to be extracted from the full demo archive 1.9
