AmigaOS 4: Shader player Shaderjoy 1.25
Shaderjoy allows displaying and creating Shadertoy compatible fragment shaders. Fragment shaders, also called pixel shaders, are programs that are executed per fragment (pixel) on the GPU.The ogles2.library 3.2 and Warp3D Nova 54.16 are required. Now Juha "Capehill" Niemimaki has released version 1.25. Changes:
- Add keyboard channel. Also remove some keyboard shortcuts to avoid conflicts.
- Add projects files (.sjp) for those example shaders that require textures.
- Replace text buttons with more compact images.
- Show busy pointer during shader compilation.
- Disable uninitialized variable check (in icon) due to glCompileShader issue with some shaders: future ogles2.library should fix this.
- Fix loading of arexx.class.
- Fix busy looping of ChannelWindows.
- Refactor some GUI code.

Hyperion/Cloanto litigation: judgment in the main lawsuit issued
Cloanto had sued Hyperion in
2017, initially to have a judge declare that the Italian company is the
rightful owner of the "Amiga" mark and that Hyperion neither has the right to
fight this trademark registration nor register similar marks like "AmigaOS"
or "AmigaOne" itself. The lawsuit was later merged with another one inititated by Hyperion, which
also added Amino, Itec and Amiga Inc. as additional parties to the litigation
and expanded the scope of the laswuit to cover issues of breach of contract,
trademark violations and alleged IP theft.
