Amiga.org Soon To Go Temporarily Offline
Sometime between Friday, January 9th and Monday, January 12th, the Amiga portal amiga.org will be taken offline for an unspecified time to accomplish maintenance and upgrades. During this time, and for a while afterwards, e-mail forwarding will not work. They report they've been planning these actions for quite a while, but the changes are quite in-depth, and prone to error.
Contrary to circulating rumor, Amiga.org is not being retired at this time. They state they will be back ASAP. More information about the changes and new features will be made available after their return to service.

Cloanto: Personal Paint 7.1 for AmigaOS 4.0
Seattle, WA - January 6, 2004 - Amiga Inc. and Cloanto are
delighted to announce that Personal Paint 7.1 will be available
on the upcoming AmigaOS 4.0 operating system.
The Personal Paint series of 2D graphics and animations
applications has been a mainstay of the application base for
the Amiga platform ever since its introduction in 1992 and it
is also a star attraction of the Cloanto Amiga Forever package.
As Cloanto considers a new version of the product for AmigaOS
4.0, it has decided to show its commitment to the Amiga
platform and community by making the source code of the current
version available to Amiga Inc., allowing them to create a
PowerPC native version for the upcoming AmigaOS 4.0 product.
The created binaries will be owned by Cloanto but will be made
available for free download from the Amiga and Cloanto web
sites.
Cloanto and Amiga are also in talks concerning a new version of
Amiga Forever, as well as a special version of Amiga Forever
for AmigaOS 4.0, which aims to provide chipset-level Classic
Amiga compatibility integrated with the new generation Amiga
operating system and hardware.
About Amiga
Amiga Inc. established itself in 1985 as the premier provider
of multi-media technologies to the world. Today Amiga continues
leading the way in multi-media by providing language
independent technologies to developers for writing and porting
applications to a new multi-media platform that is hardware
agnostic. Amiga Anywhere, powered with intent(TM) from the Tao
Group, enables applications to run unchanged on a broad range
of processors including ARM, StrongARM, Intel X-Scale, OMAP,
MIPS, Intel x86, Motorola 68K and Hitachi SH. It can run hosted
on a wide variety of operating systems including Windows CE
.NET, Windows 9x, 2000, Windows XP, Linux, and Embedded Linux.
AmigaDE Player and applications can be purchased at
www.amiga-anywhere.com. AmigaOS support and information is
available at os.amiga.com.
About Cloanto
Cloanto started as an Amiga software house in 1987 and remains
passionately committed to supporting its Amiga customers, the
Amiga community, and those who have not yet had a chance to
experience an Amiga. Cloanto's Amiga solutions are at
www.amigaforever.com. For the nostalgically-minded, Cloanto's
original Amiga site is online at
www.cloanto.com/amiga/classic/.
