AROS: Distribution Icaros Desktop 2.2.6
Paolo Besser has released an update of his AROS-distribution Icaros Desktop. In version 2.2.6 the muimaster.library written by Neil Cefferkey was added providing "support for ESC-A method of embedding images into strings, which basically allows rapagui-based applications to show images into buttons and other GUI gadgets". Besides, now it is possible to record debug logs and updates of DCRaw, VIM and AmiCast Player were added as well as the ZuPaPlayer. Adding EasyRPG Player, "a great interpreter a la ScummVM for games created with RPG Maker 2000 and 2003" is supposed to be one of the highlights of the new version. Finally, for players the games "Kidnapping of Princess Pri" and "Grimps: Squeaking of the Dead" are now included.

Hollywood 8 - Supremacy released

Press release: After 12 months of development, Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to present the best Hollywood ever: Hollywood 8 - Supremacy.
Version 8.0 is a massive update with many new features and bug fixes. The most important new feature is full RapaGUI support on Android, which allows you to create GUIs for Android devices using Hollywood. As always with RapaGUI, only native widgets are used, so the GUIs look and feel completely native. This is a truly unique feature because no other software allows you to create native GUIs for Amiga (MUI), Windows, Mac OS X, Linux (GTK+), and Android! On top of that, there are tons of other new features, bug fixes, and improvements.
Here is a non-exhaustive list of new features in Hollywood 8.0:
- Android core completely rewritten
- New network adapter plugin interface
- Ready for powerful new soon-to-be-released SSL/TLS plugin
- Support for IPv6 in the network library
- Serial port support on all platforms including Android
- Multiple displays now supported on Android
- System notifications are now supported
- Icon support
- Action Bar now supported on Android
- Menu bars are now supported on Android
- Better support for HiDPI monitors
- Full RapaGUI support on Android
- Ready for RapaGUI 2.0
- Hardware-accelerated drawing, scaling, and transformation on Android
- Camera support on Android
- Directories can be monitored from script code
- Hollywood scripts can call into Java code on Android
- Device vibration support on Android
- Whole directories can be linked to executables
- Gyroscope and accelerometer support on Android
- Ready for Hollywood APK Compiler 3.0
- 80 new pages of PDF documentation, now 1034 altogether
- Lots of other changes, optimizations and bug fixes
Hollywood 8 is the ultimate Multimedia experience and a must-have for all creative people. Hollywood is available on CD and as a download version. Both versions include Hollywood for all supported platforms. Buying Hollywood gives you a single-user license for all 15 platforms supported by Hollywood. If you already own Hollywood, you can buy a discounted upgrade version. People who bought Hollywood 7.1 in 2019 can request a free upgrade.
Hollywood is the ultimate bridge between all the different AmigaOS compatible platforms and the other three modern desktop systems, Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux! Additionally, Hollywood also supports the Android platform. A truly unique feature is the ability to cross-compile native executables for many different platforms including: AmigaOS 3.x, AmigaOS 4, WarpOS, MorphOS, AROS (x86), Windows (x86, x64), Mac OS X (x86, x64, PPC), and Linux (x86, x64, PPC, ARM). You don't even have to own these platforms in order to compile executables for them. It's enough to run Hollywood on one of the supported platforms and then compile programs for all the others! Only Hollywood makes it possible.
If you want to learn more about Hollywood, please visit the the official Hollywood portal at the title link which also has a forum for all questions concerning Hollywood. (snx)

Personal Paint: Update to version 7.3c for registered customers (Update)
For registered customers of version 7.3 of the 8-bit paint program Personal Paint, originally developed by Cloanto, A-EON Technology will release a free update named PPaint 7.3c for AmigaOS 3.x and AmigaOS 4 soon, written by Andy Broad.
Changes:
- Add polygon mode to grab brush tool
- Update Itialian translation (contributed Luca Longone)
- Fix long filename support
- Fix buffer overflows in brush scaling
- Fix buffer overflows in brush shearing
- Extend internal brush structure to include shear status values so that when shearing brush twice in a row is starts from the current sheared state and not the original brush state
- Fix incorrect calculation of visble files in builtin requester resulting in an occasional corrupt looking filename at end of file list. (personal_req.library 1.6)
Update: (21:45, 12.02.19, snx)
As AmigaKit clarified meanwhile, the release of PPaint 7.3c is not imminent since the update is still being betatested for now. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Legal dispute: Amiga Inc. transferred rights to company of Mike Battilana
In the legal dispute between the Amiga and parties and Cloanto, recently Hyperion doubted the legality of Cloanto's involvement. According to the latest court documents (PDF file), on February 1, 2019, Amiga Inc. transferred "all worldwide rights, title and interest in and to all AMIGA-formative trademarks, including but not limited to the "Exclusive Licensed Marks" as that term is defined
in the 2009 "Settlement Agreement", and the "Boing Ball" design mark" to C-A Acquisition Corporation" which with its only director Mike Battilana has the same owner as Cloanto.
For several years Cloanto has collected the heritage of Commodore (amiga-news.de reported) in order - according to Cloanto - to preserve it. To the the "Exclusive Licensed Marks" also belong the trademarks "AmigaOS", "Amiga OS", "AmigaOne" and "Amiga One".
Therefore Cloanto will apply for admission of C-A Acquisition Corporation as another plaintiff. Besides, Cloanto as sucessor of Amiga Inc. again reasserted to have the right to sue Hyperion for breach of contract. The former transfer of the copyrights from Amiga Inc. to Cloanto again is documented in court (PDF files: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
Furthermore Hyperion tries to prove some of the claims of the Amiga parties and Cloanto as void because they interfere into other countries' jurisdiction. This is countered by the statement that Hyperion explicitly got the worldwide license rights and therefore is internationally bound to respect the settlement agreement - which would have been broken by the attempt to register Amiga related trademarks in other countries.

AROS: Current status of Michal Schulz' Raspberry-Pi port / 68k-JIT-Emulator
Michal Schulz wrote: "I have synced my local repository with all the changes I did so far, with the main SVN tree".
Before he will solve some problems with USB, he is going to write a 68k-JIT emulator for ARM processors. Although, he thinks, there are plenty of them, "they are either slow interpreters written eons ago as a proof of concept, or GPL licensed".

AmigaOS 4: ignition beta version 6 available
Achim Pankalla wrote: The beta version 6 of the spread-sheet "ignitionOS4" is available on the SourceForge website. For more than ten years ignition has been open source and this is the fifth version of the AmigaOS-4-port within five years. ignitionOS4 was constantly improved which was only possible thanks to the feedback of the users. Thank you very much.
I also want to thank all the beta testers and other people who supported me!
In beta version 6 not only bugs were fixed but also some minor features added, e.g. new functions and implementing missing features. Changes:
- New functions
- Scrolling with the mouse-wheel is supported both vertically, and horizontally
- Reworked and fixed dialogs
- Fixed and expanded database functions
- Internal arexx-scripts can now be saved and reloaded
- Reworked and fixed csv.io modul
- Fixed gtdrag.library
- Over twenty other errors are fixed
- Reworked manuals in German and English
This does not look like much work but is another big step of improving igntionOS4. You can get more information at the OS4Welt ignition forum - there you can also give me feedback. But of course you can also send me a mail.

Elfie - The Unicorn: Easy-peasy edition
Christian Giesing's "Elfie - The Unicorn" is a jump-and-run game which the author has written for his daughters using Backbone (amiga-news.de reported). Since for some of the kids the game was still too difficult, an additional version with the following changes has been released:
- removed jump traps
- defused difficult jumps
- inserted "infinite" (50) lives
Little technical news:
- runs on Amiga 500/600 7 Mhz with Kick 2.04 and 1MB chip (but 14 Mhz are recommended)
- Fast RAM detection (from 2 MB Fast RAM onwards, the data is cached into the fast Fast RAM - disk recharging times during playing are therefore no longer necessary

MorphOS: E-Mail client Iris, beta version 45
Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczeks "Iris" is supposed to become the standard mail program for MorphOS. It supports IMAP and can read and create HTML mails. The program requires MorphOS 3.10. You can give feedback to the author using the corresponding discussion on MorphZone.
The latest beta version fixes a bug "where Iris would send an email without contents if editing in html mode and some other html view was opened while editing." Besides, the toolbar was tweaked "to avoid inflating the size of the folders column."

If you are going to install the emulator you first have to change the software setup of your console: But this is only possible for consoles sold before summer of 2018 - and there it can cause problems with the online function.

Cloanto: Amiga Forever 8 and C64 Forever 8
Cloanto has released version 8 of its emulator distributionen "Amiga Forever" and "C64 Forever". The most important new features are "virtual keyboards" for the Amiga emulator, the option to move the cursor of 8-Bit computers with the mouse as well as a "fullscreen menu" for all Emulators which makes available the most important options even in fullscreen mode. Additionally the content of the Windows clipboard now can be also inserted in the emulator.
The second part of the press release Mike Battilana (Cloanto) uses to emphasize his determination for preserving the Amiga heritage, (quote): "I remain personally engaged in exploring possible futures involving a nonprofit and/or foundation, open source, and other scenarios that could best help the cause of Commodore/Amiga preservation and support."
Cloanto's full press release:
December 31, 2018 - Cloanto released today version 8 of Amiga Forever and C64 Forever, the official Commodore/Amiga preservation, emulation and support suites for Windows.
Once again, the new editions are the result of 18 months of development since the previous major version, and now encompass more than 600K lines of code written by Cloanto, seamlessly integrating with a collaborative effort of emulation plugins and content preservation.
"Virtual machines, virtual keyboards, virtual joysticks, virtual mice... real enjoyment! Whether you always wanted to move a PET/CBM text cursor with a click, or pop up an accurate and fully reconfigurable onscreen keyboard for Amiga and 8-bit systems, this release has it all," said Cloanto's Mike Battilana.
Work on the input front, which in version 7 had a focus on physical and virtual game controllers, was continued in version 8 by revamping existing features and adding virtual mouse and keyboard functionality that has no par in other emulation environments. In order to achieve an accurate implementation of the widest set of Commodore/Amiga systems, more than once we had to ask a collector to open one of their rare machines to confirm some internals. Former Commodore engineers graciously assisted with details that only they could know. When the mouse is used to position an 8-bit cursor, or multiple keys are pressed or tapped on a popup keyboard, or the Amiga keyboard language is changed at runtime in the Input Prefs and propagates up into the emulation and authoring side, the results are both historically accurate and surprisingly seamless in their modern usability.
The deep connections between Windows and CBM/Amiga ROM internals on the input front took several months to craft, yet are easy to use. The same is true for the new fullscreen emulation controls, which required the creation of a graphical user interface with menus and buttons that could be used with the mouse or keyboard as well as with game controllers, at a low level where this is not provided by Windows.
As part of its "preservation done right" commitment, Cloanto entered into agreements with Stanford University Libraries, the German National Library (Deutsche Nationalbibliothek, DNB) and other cultural and preservation institutions. These collaborations are spontaneous, and Cloanto does not receive payments or funding. Ongoing efforts also include a "kiosk mode" emulation frontend for museums.
"Working on projects like Amiga Forever and C64 Forever and remaining in touch with our community has allowed us to keep nourishing the sentiments of passion, beauty, excellence and friendship that have accompanied this journey since the 1980s. We also learned how continuing this longstanding endeavor brings with it some mostly thankless tasks such as sorting out the occasional legal doubt and standing up for the truth. In working hard to research rights and respect rules, Cloanto has become a 'reluctant torchbearer' of something bigger and of larger interest than we could ever have imagined to be involved with more than 30 years ago. Fortunately, as an independent entity, Cloanto does not lack the courage or the ability to change, or to hand over.
"Continuing on the discourse that was first outlined at cloanto.org a few years ago," said Mike, "I remain personally engaged in exploring possible futures involving a nonprofit and/or foundation, open source, and other scenarios that could best help the cause of Commodore/Amiga preservation and support. As in the past, during 2019 I plan to attend events like Amiga Ireland, AmiWest in Sacramento and Amiga34 Germany. I again look forward to meeting old and new friends and to promote consultations on this important topic."
Amiga Forever 8 is available now in three editions:
- Value Edition (downloadable installer)
- Plus Edition (downloadable installer with option to build DVD ISO image)
- Premium Edition (downloadable Plus Edition, plus boxed software and additional videos on 3 DVDs)
C64 Forever 8 is available now in three editions:
- Free Express Edition (feature-limited version)
- Downloadable Plus Edition (downloadable installer with option to build CD ISO image)
- Boxed Plus Edition (downloadable Plus Edition, plus boxed CD)Both packages recognize and work with each other, with options to merge the different platforms into the same interface. Prices start from $9.95 (Value Edition, or special upgrade offers).

Visual Tours
Here are some suggestions to highlight specific version 8 features for YouTubers and other more visual friends:
- Virtual Keyboard - Open an Amiga emulation session like Workbench 3.X (in the Systems folder) and then use the keyboard menu at the bottom left of the playback window to open the Virtual Keyboard. Inside the emulation, open the Input Prefs and change the keyboard to a different language (e.g. German). Did you notice how the virtual keyboard on the Windows side also updated its layout? And still, it all keeps working with your unchanged physical PC keyboard, no matter what layout that one has. Then on closing the session you can choose whether to commit the keyboard layout change to the title configuration, or not.
- Virtual Mouse - Looking for something a bit more "retro"? Start an 8-bit title (e.g. a PET 2001, or 8032, or C64) from the Systems folder of C64 Forever, and use the mouse to move the text cursor around. If you ever spent a lot of time programming or writing on those systems, isn't this something you've been wanting to do for almost 40 years?
- Fullscreen Controls - Start or switch any Amiga or 8-bit emulation session to fullscreen (use the button in the top row of the playback window), then hold down the Escape key for one second to open the new fullscreen controls. These can be selected with the mouse, with the keyboard, or with the same controllers you are using to play. At last, you can swap disks, pause, resume, save, etc., without needing to leave your favorite screen mode and controls.
- Discord Status - Do you use Discord? "Now playing" activity sharing can be enabled under Tools/Options/Social.
- Type Clipboard Text - Hello World? Happy $7E3? Here is something simple, but fun to watch if you would like to paste a message or a few lines of code: use the keyboard menu at the bottom left of the playback window to paste the content of the Windows text clipboard. Works with any Amiga or 8-bit system.

Review: Workbench distribution AmiKit X 10.5.2
Under the title link Marcin Pianka has published his experiences with the Workbench distribution AmiKit X 10.5.2.
The distribution would consist of free components but for all those users who do not have the time collecting them together and configuring them, AmiKit X offers a solution. And if you want to save spare time and are not about to spend 30 Euro (at once) then you can test a previous version 8.5 (or the V9 for Mac OS X) for free.

Lawsuit: Application for an interim injunction against Hyperion
In the legal dispute with Hyperion Entertainment (amiga-news.de reported), Amiga Inc., Itec, Amino and Cloanto now have applied for an interim injunction.
With the document (PDF file) Hyperion is supposed to be legally prohibted to sell AmigaOS 3.1.4. This application is based on the claimed break of the settlement agreement from 2009 by using the trademark AmigaOS and the Boing-Ball as well as by selling AmigaOS 3.1.4 including Hyperion's claim to be copyright holder. The involvement of Cloanto is based on its copyright on AmigaOS 3.1 and furthermore on signing of evidences 3 of the former agreement by Cloanto.
The application also confirms that the temporary stop of sales was based on a cease-and-desist letter. Only Hyperion's first service provider, Avangate, did respond but finally informed to continue saling the software as long as a preliminary injunction is not provided. According to conversations of Cloanto with third parties, Hyperion did ensure compensation to the service providers in case of legal actions.
With regard to Hyperion's rights it is said that in the claim in 2007 it was tried to assert section 2.07 of the OEM licence of 2001 which says that Hyperion is allowed to develop further AmigaOS 3.1 and to use its trademarks in case of the insolvency of Amiga Inc. The 2009 settlement agreement was only related to AmigaOS 4. As proof of evidence also Hyperion's own press release is used.
With regard to Cloanto it is said that one of the purposes of the settlement agreement has been to protect diverse rights acquired in 1994. Additional to the usage for the emulator Amiga Forever since 1997, Cloanto could use AmigaOS 1.1 to 3.0 on real Amigas since 1998 and AmigaOS 3.1 since 1999. In the years 2011 to 2016 Cloanto then among others acquired AmigaOS 3.1. The copyright for this version of the operating system the company already registered on 27. April 2007.
By breaking the settlement agreement and selling AmigaOS 3.1.4 financial losses were incurred but also a loss of reputation, the goodwill and of customers. Additionally on 30. November Cloanto was informed by one of its biggest trader that due to Hyperion's statement to the ownership on AmigaOS 3.1.4, Cloanto's AmigaOS-3.1 products are not sold any longer. In several countries the Cloanto's sales have collapsed.
Apart from the losses of Cloanto and the Amiga parties, the application for a temporary injunction is justified by the settlement agreement itself. Provided in paragraph 16, such an apllication is allowed without any proof of an actual loss. Besides, the majority of the sales volume of AmigaOS 3.1.4 was done in the first half of 2018 which generates an additional urgency.

Jump'n Run: The Kiwi's Tale for CD32, AGA and ECS
"The Kiwi's Tale" written by Erik 'Earok' Hogan (video) was developed about 10 years ago for the PC and is meant to be a fan sequel of "The New Zealand Story". There is a version for the CD32 with CD-DA sound and versions for AGA and ECS, currently without background sound.
According to the author the game has the following features:
- Screen updates with 50hz, smooth eight-ways-scrolling, very big levels
- Duration like in commercial games
- 15 levels
- 2 weapons
- 3 flight devices
- 8 kind of enemies
- 2 final enemies
- Two players option: the second joystick controls the flight devices
- CD audio
- Support of joysticks with one or two fire buttons as well as CD32 joypad
- Hidden bonus game on disk
Although the author does not describe the game as very "polished", it is completed and in future he is only going to fix bugs. If somebody provided music in MOD format, he would add it to the AGA- und ECS ports. The game requires 2 Megabyte ChipRAM and at least a 68020 processor. Some additional FastRAM is recommended to smoothly play some particularly hectic parts of the game. The ECS port was done at last and therefore has not been extensively tested.
Controls:
- Fire: Fire button 1
- Jump: Fire button 2 or 'up'
- Leaving flight device: Keep pressing the fire button 2 or fire button and 'up'
- Pause: 'P' or 'Play' (CD32)
- Quit: 'Escape' or 'Forward'+'Reverse' (CD32)
A 'cheat' the developer also provides: If all levels are supposed to be accessible, in the map view you have to press the Space key for some seconds or the green button (joypad).
