`28.Dec.2017` Amiga Future (Webseite)	AmigaOS 4: New MPlayer port MickJT-MPlayer Michael Trebilcock has ported the latest version 1.3.0 of the movie player MPlayer to AmigaOS. All Amiga related code was taken from previous ports of afxgroup (Workbench startup code) and LiveForIt (other Amiga related code). By default MickJT-MPlayer reduces the video quality in order to reduce cpu load - you can change that by editing the included configuration file. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 28.

`27.Dec.2017` Amigaworld.net (Forum)	Trademark disputes: Cloanto sued Hyperion in USA In the dispute about the rights of the trademark "Amiga" (amiga-news.de reported), this month Cloanto, for some years owner of the Commodore and Amiga copyrights, has sued Hyperion in the USA, where in January the company applied for this trademark. Reason for the law-suit is that Hyperion did appeal against this application because in their opinion the registration could cause confusion with their own trademarks "AmigaOS" and "AmigaOne". According to the statement of claim (PDF file), Cloanto wants to be determined by court that they are the lawful owner of the trademark "Amiga" and that therefore Hyperion is not allowed to apply for trademarks like "AmigaOS" or "AmigaOne". Furthermore the court battle is about the distribution of AmigaOS 1.3 Kickstart ROMs by Hyperion; also the document notes that Hyperion would not have been allowed to market AmigaOS 3.1.

`26.Dec.2017` Amigaworld.net (Webseite)	Hollywood-GUI: HGui 1.2 Fabio 'Allanon' Falcucci's HGui is a GUI system developed with Hollywood, which in contrary to MUI Royale is available for all platforms which support Hollywood (amiga-news.de reported) - although currently there are some limitations under Android. Changes: Fix: There was missing parameters when the callback 'OnChange' for TreeView items was called New: Added flag 'selectGroups' on TreeView class(default to True): if it is set to false the group items cannot be selected Fix: ListView's :set() method. When using the special tag 'selected' to pass a single item to be selected (a numeric value), there was no check to see if the ListView was allowing 'multi-selection'. This was causing multiple selections on 'single-selection' ListViews using this specific tag New: ListView -> Added method :Insert() to add a single record, this is an additional way to add items (see special tag 'insert' of the :set() method for further details) New: ListView -> Added event 'OnInsert' raised when an item has been added to the ListView Doc: Improved the HGui.Window:InputBoxNew(params) documentation New: Added new method HGui.Gadget:freeChildren(refresh) to free all children attached to a gadget. This is usefull when you have to create gadget groups at runtime (snx) (Translation: dr) [News message: 26. Dec. 2017, 12:43] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
