Additionally to the well-knwon version which is based on the emulator VMware there is now also a live CD which is called "VmwAROS LIVE!" with which you can boot AROS directly from CD - without starting a virtual machine.

With WinAros it is possible to test the operating system AROS under Windows and to check out programs which were developed e.g. with AmiDevCpp (screenshot).

The virtual harddrive of the latest version includes two partitions: A 100 MB FFS-partition with the boot-files and a 480 MB SFS-partition with the AROS installation. The new version of WinAROS includes a C/C++-compiler as well as Murks!-IDE. You can install further apllications with WinArosStart.

Script: Final version of Convert2CDXL
The script Convert2CDXL, in its final version which is available from now on, handles the conversion to PPM images totally automatically with the integration of ffmpeg. In addition, the PPM images can be scaled to half, quarter or eighth of their size.

Further improvements are the manual in AmigaGuide format and an enhancement of the XL start script. An optimization was carried out for processors from 68020 up to 68060. (snx) (Translation: cad)

AmigaOS 4: Cinnamon Writer 0.52 (beta)
Press release Cinnamon Writer (CW) is a WYSIWYG writer application under development. The main objective of CW is to be a small efficient word processor with the most often used features seen in other professional word processors (screenshot).

Version 0.5 is much faster than the previous version. It offers most of the basic and most often used functionality expected from a word processor (selectable fonts, font size, text alignment, line space, text color, highlight color, bullets, underline, super/subscript etc).

The documents are saved in RTF format that ensures maximum compatibility with other word processors. At a later stage of development, other save formats will be available.

The icons set used in CW is the work of Martin 'Mason' Merz. (Thank you Martin!)

I am also announcing the coming opening of Cinnamon Projects. The purpose of Cinnamon Projects is to speed up the development of CW by utilizing some the very gifted coders on the amiga scene.

Since I have come to the realization that writing an application like this single handedly, is near impossible, I have decided to use a larger part of the donations I have received and hopefully will continue to receive, to fund coders who are interested in contributing to the application.

A new section will open on desler.be in the near future where different projects are announced together with the amount of money a coder will receive upon completion of the project.

An example of a project could be a printer class that will handle all the Amiga specific calls required to add printing capability to CW. The prize given upon completion will range from 50-150 euro depending on the scale of the project and of course, the amount of donations I have received.

I haven’t been able to test this software on a classic AOS4 setup, so please let me know if a specific setup is not working. The stability of this version has not been throughout tested and the undo/redo feature is currently not available. Therefore save often and save different versions of your document when using CW!

I really hope that you will find this application useful. Please don’t hesitate to report bugs/crashes/ideas and perhaps give donations/beer on desler.be. Finally... Donate. Scientific case studies have shown that people who donated experienced 33.4% fewer crashes. ;-) (snx)

Video: "Still Alive" - Animated Amiga Tribute by Eric Schwartz
Under the title link Eric Schwartz has created a cartoon to the song "Still Alive" which is included in the computer game Portal. In his video now a female Amiga sings this song.

The video was created on a Amiga 4000T with the help of the programs Photon Cel Animator, Lightwave 3D 5, Disney Animation Studio, Anim Workshop, Deluxe Paint 4 and Personal Paint. (snx) (Translation: dr)
