Flash Plugin Preview Available to SSS Users

2010-10-15 23:29:39 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [www.ecomstation.com]

Mensys BV is pleased to announce the availability of the Flash 10 Plugin wrapper for eComStation Technology Preview 2

This product is available for download to all registered users of Software Subscription Services for eComStation. For more information, please visit: http://www.ecomstation.com/subscription/

The second Technology Preview of the Flash 10 Plugin wrapper for eComStation is intended to show the progress of this product and to give you an early experience of being able to use websites implementing the latest Flash content.

The official Flash 5 included with eComStation is outdated and does not support video playback. The unofficial Flash 7/9 release which can be found on the internet does not work on a lot of websites as it identifies itself as Flash 9 but can only display Flash 7 content.

With the new release of Flash 10 up-to-date Flash support for eComStation is provided. This release also supports proper rendering of Flash 10 text elements and Flash keyboard input works.

Notes:

  • This code should not be used on production systems. See the readme document for details.
  • This release requires eComStation 1.2, 1.2R or eComStation 2.0 GA.
  • This release requires an installed version of Odin, which can be obtained from the same download location as the Flash 10 package.
  • Feedback can be provided via http://svn.ecomstation.nl/flash10 Please follow the guidelines on what steps are needed in order to properly report a bug.

About the Flash standard: Flash content is used on a lot of websites. Some websites require Flash support to login with your user credentials. Also a lot of popular websites have video files online in the Flash format.

After downloading please review the readme documentation for known issues and instructions on how to uninstall.

Regards, Bob St.John (Serenity Systems International)


Bonuses for eComStation/Rus users

2010-10-12 13:47:52 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [ecomstation.ru]

eCo Software offers bonuses to the users of russian eComStation.

Moreover, we are trying stimulate the users which support eCo Market project, APeCS online catalogue.

For example, it's very difficult to collect screenshots and icons of eComStation / IBM OS/2 Warp applications. Today eComStation sites contain "dry" textual information only. To attract more users we should make eCS sites more vivid.


Tell us, how do you setup ACPI on your PC?

2010-10-09 01:34:51 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [ecomstation.ru]

Does ACPI.PSD work on your eComStation PC? Did you tried different versions of ACPI sub-system (driver)? Please send ACPI reports (not bug-reports) to ACPI DB - this assistant is created for users and is aimed to monitor progress of the driver development. ACPI DB homepage

Current version of DB contains information how to setup ACPI.PSD on this computers: list.

Please share your experience with other users and fill short report here. If ACPI 3.18 doesn't work then try ACPI 3.14 (BETAZONE).


eComStation roadmap (September, 2010)

2010-10-04 13:08:14 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [Roderick Klein, Mensys BV]

// Update on eComStation from Mensys (including Flash10)

1) An update on Flash 10! Please also note the previous build was a technology preview. It would have been a whole lot easier if Flash 10 would be around in source code but its not :-) A large hold up for bringing out a new version was because after Warpstock Stralsund 2009 we had some mayor issue's with SMP support. The upcoming release (which can finaly been done this coming week!) will also allow you to make bug reports on. Its not going to be a technology preview the new Flash 10 release. It might still have defects but should work better! When its released please read the documents. You need to update your Uniaud audio driver. It will work of course with the proper version of eCS :-) eCS 2.0 and 1.2/1.2R.

We are working everywhere to get more developers working on projects to accelrate eCS developmen further. Some highlights:

2) A few weeks ago Steve Levine released danis506.add driver with new chipset support that was already in SVN. (Driver version 1.8.7)

3) Support for AHCI disc controllers is being worked on. AHCI is the follow up for SATA drive controller standard. Mensys does not yet have a driver in its hands. But the developers have reported the first builds of the driver (based on Linux code) run in a virtual machine. A time frame for release is not yet known.

4) Mensys has sponsored Richard Walsh to fix the printing issue's in the current Mozilla line of products (firefox, thunderbird etc).. This project is not yet finished but the first release of Firefox 4.0 has been released.

5) If you take a look at svn.ecomstation.nl we have projects on the way to support more network card drivers. First ethernet is in the pipeline and then Wifi. We are doing this by porting Linux source to OS/2. As a basis the driver from Nick is used that supports modern Nvidia network chipsets. On this driver the Intel e1000e.os2 driver has been based. Currently work is on its way to merge the 2 drivers. What is being done is that both drivers all common code is merged to make porting of other Linux NIC drivers easier. On top of that media sensing is being added. From driver level its then possible to send a signal to eComStation that the network cable is plugged back into the ethernet socket. We can then do a refresh of an IP address. Also we are working on supporting the wifi tool XWLAN that currently works with Genmac Wifi drivers. A generic interface is being build that Linux Wifi drivers ported can be used with XWLAN so the user interface ia always the same. With this common skeleton in C it will be much easier to support more network cards on OS/2 ported from Linux. The merge of the Nvidia and Intel driver has been done all code is GPL. Some access features to SVN still need to be sorted out. Next to that a new Realtek NIC driver for Gigabit ethernet will be created and possibly Broadcom. Cooperate customers need wired ethernet support primarly so that is where our focus is on. But we are also looking at porting a Linux kernel module that supports the current Intel Wifi chipsets. The company doing the development is analysing the source code for this but a time frame is not yet known.

6) New packages of ACPI will be released in about month time with new scripts to make install a lot easier. It will also contain scripts to collect standard logs and run standard tests on your system. New features for ACPI like proper throttle and suspend/resume support are being work done.

7) As you might have seen UNIAUD also received mayor updates. It has become a lot more stable and much less audio distortion is now happening. Please when downloading new builds from http://svn.netlabs.org/uniaud, don't backlevel either UNIAUD32 or UNIAU16.sys. Some changes have een made that where needed. Like buffer _underrun_ recovery. This can help with applications like Emperoar TV from the German company S&T.

8) As previously annouched. Java 6 support (command line support) has been put on netlabs.org as a download.

9) Open Office 3.2 will be released hopefully this week. It needs being packed and should then be ready to be send out to you guys as a download.

10) More work is happening on a new USB stack. But a release is not yet close.

Regards, Roderick Klein, Mensys BV

Status of eComStation 2.0 NLV versions

2010-09-18 14:08:01 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/eComStation/message/84782]

Alex Taylor reports:

German is targeted to be the first NLV release. I believe it's pretty close to being ready, at least code-wise.

It's planned to be released in conjunction with a minor refresh of the EN CD#1 which should fix a handful of installer issues. I can't tell you exactly when that will be ready -- hopefully soon -- because we're still doing some work to try and solve a problem involved with installing alongside Windows 7. (We know more or less what the solution is, but slotting it into the existing install framework without disruption takes a fair amount of leg-work.)

I expect Dutch will probably follow fairly soon after German, since it's mostly up to spec as well, and AFAIK the translation is substantially complete.

Italian is being worked on with some regularity, but I don't exactly know how far along it is.

Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Swedish and Russian are all at various stages of work. Most of them are up to spec technically (or could be made that way without too much more effort); they just require translation. (We could always use more people who are willing and able to translate, by the way -- the shortage of translators is mostly what's keeping these particular languages behind.)

Spanish, French, and Korean are largely stalled at this point, although if we had volunteers to pick them up we could probably do something with at least the first two. (Korean is up against some technical hurdles that have us largely stumped at the moment, unfortunately.)
