Amiga Inc. lost several US-trademarks
Recently Amiga Inc. had had six registered trademarks in the United States. For five of these trademarks the company would have proved a commercial use until August. This did not happen. Therefore the "US Patent and Trademark Office" deleted the following registration of the trademarks:
  • AMIGA - Standard Character Mark
  • AMIGA - Drawing/Design + Words
  • AMIGA ANYWHERE - Standard Character Mark
  • AMIGA ENABLED - Standard Character Mark
  • BoingBall [image] - Drawing/Design (No Words)

The last registered trademark of Amiga Inc. is AMIGA.

Amiga owns several trademarks in the EU. A complete list can be found on Amiga-Trademarks.pdf. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Programming language: Hollywood creates iPad-applications
Press release: Hollywood has recently been ported to the iPad (ARM architecture) by order of a commercial customer who needs to use it on tablet devices in clinics and hotels. A small demo video of Hollywood running on iPad has been uploaded to YouTube.

Unfortunately, it will most likely not be possible to integrate iPad support into Hollywood's cross-compiler because of several technical and legal restrictions that iPad apps are subject to. For commercial customers, however, we can now offer several solutions to get their Hollywood projects converted into iPad apps. Please contact us. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AROS: Distribution AspireOS 1.2
Nikolaos Tomatsidis has published an update of his AROS-distribution AspireOS (screenshot). This is customized to the Acer-netbook Aspire but should run on every other hardware.

The update requires an existing 1.x-installation. Amiga games now are started via AROS/68k instead of using AmigaOS Kickstart files. Additionally the music programm MilkyTracer, the BoingIconBar, Snapshoter, some games and many updated system files were added.

Users of Samsung or Dell netbooks have to replace the hdaudio.config and the HDAudio-driver by the ones with the ending "dell". Please do the same with the file Sys:system/network/AROSTCP/S/Package-Startup if you are using a USB network stick. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Database: MUIbase 2.10
Steffen Gutmann has published an update of his database MUIbase. Changes in version 2.10:
  • New function SETBGPEN for setting the background color of attributes
  • Several new pre-defined constants PEN_* useful for SETBGPEN
  • New function 'mainWindowTitle' for computing the title of the main window
  • Drag and drop of a record from a virtual list onto a reference attribute for setting the reference to the dropped record
  • Allow dropping of icons onto text fields that support filenames. This sets the contents to the pathname of the dropped icon (Amiga).
  • Warn user when changing a read-only project
  • Use native MorphOS-classes instead of NList and TextEditor. MUIbase stills uses BetterString instead of Textinput.
  • The Windows setup executable now containes all necessary GTK+ libraries
  • Better support of copy & paste on Mac OS X
  • Several bug fixes

Die MUIbase-distribution includes ports for AmigaOS 3, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS. An port for AROS will follow. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: Web-Browser NetSurf 2.8
NetSurf is a fast browser which was originally written for RiscOS. It can be used with 17 MB memory and supports among others HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0 and CSS 2.1. The changes in version 2.8 are listed in the Changelog.

Release notes for this AmigaOS 4 build:
  • DataTypes content handler now used for JPEG and PNG images on the 4.0 (static) build
  • Low-memory version of parserutils.library included in the archive, for people wishing to reduce memory requirements
  • MNG and WebP internal decoders no longer compiled in. Please install appropriate datatypes for WebP and (limited) MNG support
  • The file Resource/mimetypes can be used to specify applications to run plug-in content (to use, right-click plug-in area and select "launch in external application"). It also links DataTypes, MIME types and DefIcons, so if something isn't working as expected it might be related to this file
  • Please note the new DPI setting in prefs. Some people reported particulary small text on certain websites with the previous release. Setting DPI correctly fixes this. If you use a widescreen monitor you may need to set "option_widescreen:1" in Resources/Options
