Workbench distribution: AmiKit XE 11.2 (gaming update)
Press release: Today's update brings a number of legendary games to your AmiKit! One of them is premiering on Amiga, actually. It's an action role-playing hack and slash game called Diablo (shareware). Yes, that's right! And you can play it in a window on your Workbench too!
The same with Dune II - you can play it in a window thanks to OpenDUNE port which enhances the original version as well (note that you need the original 1.07eu game files). We've also included a DOS emulator called DOSBox with several shareware games pre-installed like Prince of Persia 1 & 2, Wolfenstein3D and SuperMario. Nice, right? If you have kids, they will love Elfie the Unicorn! We've also included a special easy peasy version for them :-)

Settlement discussions between Cloanto and Hyperion aborted
As amiga-news.de has been told by several sources, the settlement discussions between Cloanto and Hyperion regarding a settlement agreement have been aborted without tangible results last week. As far as we know, the next step to avoid a lengthy and costly trial would be mediation involving a neutral mediator - but we don't know if both parties are actually working towards that option right now.

Regarding the chnages the author wrote: "Implemented basic sorting and search function including replace, very basic but working, also the sorting close to the LibreOffice sorting, multi key sorting (up to 3 but in principle could make more, but is more than 3 really useful?)."

Screenshot screenbar-plugin 1.1
Screenshot.sbar for Ambient written by #amigazeux can save screenshots and offers a lot of options - e.g. the tool "can grab windows, entire screens or just a freely selectable portion of the screen", "can grab the mouse pointer too" and "can superimpose an editable text over taken screenshots".
Changes in version 1.1:
- Fixed a serious bug that freed hotkeys twice and led to crashes when changing f.e. the MUI theme.
- Images are saved using Reggae now, so screenshots can be saved in either PNG, JPEG, TIFF, IFF, IFFDEEP, SunRaster and RAW.
- Added %x keyword which gets replaced by the suffix of the set image format (without the dot) for building the filename of a screenshot.
- Added a corresponding menu item to "Quick Options" menu to select the image format for saving.
- Added flat icons for Prefs and title bar to distribution. They can be found in Copy_To_Sys/Data/Screenbar/Screenshot.
- Added an option to resize a taken screenshots using selectable image filters.
- Will not block the audio hardware any longer in case some other program needs exclusive access to it.
- AHI-Unit for playing sound is now configurable.
- The iris effect will center on the selected grab area/window now.
- Opacity of grabbed mouse-pointer is setable now.
- Success/Error window now has a title.
- Displays the dimension of the screen in "Grab Screen" menu item for the screen.
- Displays positions and dimensions of windows in the corresponding menu for windows of a screen.
- TestPaint: Fixed a bug in Dot tool that only drew the first mouse down event.
- TestPaint: Added image loading/saving/resizing.

Operating system: MorphOS 3.13
Press release: The MorphOS development team is proud to announce the immediate availability of MorphOS 3.13. This new version offers more sophisticated text rendering including new font hinting and anti-aliasing modes to choose from. These include subpixel anti-aliasing for sharper and more detailed text on most LCD displays for any applications that allow text output via TTEngine. For those interested in testing this new feature, go to the Fonts section of System Preferences, enable "LCD" anti-aliasing, save your changes and then reboot. Next, run our integrated development environment Flow Studio, go to Editor Settings and switch on TTEngine mode.
In addition to general stability, performance, and security improvements, MorphOS 3.13 also brings important bug fixes for Pegasos I, Pegasos II, and Sam 460 systems as well as a driver for the on-board Gigabit ethernet controller found on A-EON P50x0 mainboards. For owners of Apple PowerMac7.x computers, there is a new shell tool for controlling the fan speed along with inspecting fan status and system sensor temperatures on these systems.
Existing users who have kept the built-in 'Default' choice for window skins will notice an altered appearance after upgrading. Anybody who prefers the previous look is advised to switch from "Default" to "Ferox" in the Screens section of System Preferences. Likewise, if your window skin was changed and you would like the rest of the user interface to look similar, please open MUI Preferences, click on the Settings button and choose the "Origo" theme. Please note that this step may overwrite personalized settings unless you choose to save them as a custom theme beforehand.
We strongly urge new users to carefully read our installation and troubleshooting guides before they attempt to install MorphOS for the first time. Existing users can upgrade via the familiar procedure but are encouraged to read the guides as well. MorphOS 3.13 is available for download in our files section.
