SW: GBM (Generalised Bitmap Module) updates

2008-09-24
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++

From: Heiko Nitzsche

GBM plugin 1.36 for Lucide 1.20
-------------------------------
This is a plugin for the Lucide document viewer available for eComStation
that extends Lucide for the support of reading all bitmap formats supported
by GBM.DLL.

Get package gbmos2plugins_lu136_moz137_bin.zip or the WarpIN installation
package from Hobbes (see below).

GBM plugin 1.37 for Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox/SeaMonkey
------------------------------------------------------
This is a plugin for the Webbrowsers Netscape, Mozilla, Firefox and
SeaMonkey available for OS/2 and eComStation that extends them for the
support of reading all bitmap formats supported by GBM.DLL.

Get package gbmos2plugins_lu136_moz137_bin.zip or the WarpIN installation
package from Hobbes (see below).

GBM.DLL 1.61 and GBM command line tools
---------------------------------------
The Generalised Bitmap Module (GBM) is a library capable of loading and
saving bitmap files in a variety of popular and less popular bitmap file
formats. Programs may be written to use this code, and thus be able to
access a variety of file formats without actually knowing what format the
pictures are in, or any details about file format itself. It comes with a
useful set of command line bitmap manipulation tools.

Get package gbmos2_161_bin.zip or the WarpIN installation package from
Hobbes (see below).

Enhanced GBMV/GBMV2 Version 1.52
--------------------------------
GBMV2 is a fast and simple bitmap viewer and editor for the OS/2 and eCS
Presentation Manager. GBMV is a simple bitmap viewer.

Get package gbmos2pm152_bin.zip or the WarpIN installation package from
Hobbes (see below).

Notes for eComStation 1.2/1.2R users:
-------------------------------------
Please read the installation instructions. eCS 1.2/1.2R ships with an old
GBM.DLL (1.12) which prevents loading of the new GBM.DLL (1.61). Please
follow the instructions to use the new GBM.DLL for all programs as well as
for eCS WPS features like bitmap previews.


The homepage of GBM for OS/2 and eComStation

SW: Firefox 2.0.0.17 (Official) Has Been Released

2008-09-25
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++

From: Sander Nyman <2sanderDESPAM@DESPAMsbcglobal.net>

Michael Kaply has released Mozilla's Firefox 2.0.0.17 (Official) for OS/2.
This is a stability and security release which fixes 9 security
vulnerabilities, including 4 rated critical, and 1 rated high.

You can download it here:

http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.17/contrib/firefox-2.0.0.17.en-US.os2.zip

NOTE: This release requires the C runtime DLLs from Innotek. Version
0.5.1 includes an installer. Available here:

http://download.innotek.de/gccos2/runtime/libc-0.5.1.exe

NOTE: This release requires IPLUGINW.DLL to use the Java and Flash
plugins. Available here:

http://e-vertise.com/warpzilla/ipluginw20050915.xpi
or here:
http://download.innotek.de/javaos2/mozilla/ipluginw20050915.xpi

NOTE: To have both Firefox, & Thunderbird in use at the same time (or ANY
other Mozilla app) they *MUST* be at the SAME version level, or a
mismatched DLL will still be in memory when you attempt to start a second
Mozilla based program. The easiest way to get around this limitation, and
use DIFFERENT version levels of Firefox, Thunderbird, Kompozer, etc., is
with Rich Walsh's Run! utility. It is tiny, and VERY easy to set up. To
make life even easier, I HIGHLY recommend that you download & use the
Internet Application Integration utility from Chuck McKinnis, which
actually contains the Run! utility, and sets it up for you, along with
coordinating your web browser with your email client for "mailto" links,
etc. You can find it here:

http://7cities.net/~mckinnis/code/iai1090.exe

Or, if you'd rather do it yourself, here is the Run! utility:

http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/os2/util/wps/run_075.zip

Firefox extensions (add-ons) that add new functionality are available here:

https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/?application=firefox

2008-09-27
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++

Mozilla's Firefox 3.0.3 (Official) for OS/2 has been released. Firefox 3
is Mozilla's next generation web browser based on the Gecko 1.9 platform.
This release fixed a problem where users were unable to retrieve saved
passwords or save new passwords (bug 454708). Known problems in this
release include: Printing to normal OS/2 printer queues is disabled.
Printing operations will instead create a PDF file. PDF files can then be
printed using Acrobat, Lucide, GSview, or Lucide (eCS). For more
information and suggestions, take a moment to review the README.TXT file
included in the archive.

You can download it here:

SW: Firefox 3.03 (Official) - Corrections

2008-09-28
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++

From: Sander Nyman <2sanderDESPAM@DESPAMsbcglobal.net>

In my post announcing the Firefox 3.0.3 release, I stated that:

"This release requires IPLUGINW.DLL to use Java (not currently working)"

That was incorrect. This release comes with a newer version of
IPLUGINW.DLL included in the archive. It has been reported that the Java
plugin is working with this version. Please do not use the older version.

Thanks to Steve Wendt for the information.

features. In particular, you have much more precise control over what
directories the clients can see.

(See
http://svn.netlabs.org/uniaud/timeline?from=10%2F01%2F08&daysback=7&changeset=on&update=Update),
I've been inspired to fix SB Live! support in the Uniaud 1.9.x branch.

This release also included an updated uniaud16.sys based on fixes that have
been checked in since Uniaud 1.1.4RC6.

All users of uniaud are encouraged to unzip this build over their existing
setup and see if there are any regressions, as going forward, this is the
codebase that will be used for Uniaud 2.0.

For new users, install the latest install package for Uniaud 1.1.4 first,
then replace uniaud16.sys and uniaud32.sys with the ones in the links below.

Release version: http://download.smedley.info/uniaud32-1.9.8.zip
Debug version: http://download.smedley.info/uniaud32-1.9.8-debug.zip

All feedback appreciated!
