Hollywood plugin: Polybios 1.0a
Press release: Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are back on your screen with Polybios 1.0a - the ultimate PDF tool for Hollywood. Thanks to the efforts of Stefan "Bebbo" Franke, who ported gcc 6.4 for the m68k platform, Polybios' PDF renderer is now also available for the m68k and m68k/m881 platforms. This finally provides OS3 users with a state-of-the-art PDF renderer as well! For optimal speed it is recommended to use the FPU version because Polybios' PDF renderer is quite heavy on floating point arithmetics.
Additionally, version 1.0a contains a bug fix in the AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS versions of Polybios. No changes were made to the builds for all the other platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS, Android) which is why the version number wasn't bumped to 1.1 but just uses 1.0a for the moment. Polybios is available for free download from the official Hollywood portal.

Hollywood: APK Compiler 2.4 released
Press release: The Hollywood APK Compiler is now available in version 2.4. This version removes support for the armeabi architecture because it is no longer supported by the latest Android SDK. Note that you should not upgrade to this version unless you want to use the latest Android SDK. If you have a working installation of Hollywood APK Compiler, just keep it because this update is only here to make the Hollywood APK Compiler compatible with the latest Android SDK version.

Commercial game: 'Worthy' is available
Andreas Rösner wrote: Pixelglass Games has released a brand new game to the Amiga community called Worthy. Similar as in real life, you have to collect diamonds to conquer the heart of your lady. You can achieve that by travelling from level to level, killing enemies, avoiding traps and collecting diamonds.
The main drive for the game character is beer which is drunken a lot to hopefully complete the adventures.
The game was optimized for 50 Hz and offers 40 levels, many puzzles, pixel graphics with 32 colours as well as catchy melodies and sound effects. Furthermore Worthy has different scenarios of the end of the game depending on how successful the player has been.
Worthy can be purchased on AMIGA.net.pl on disks, CD or as download version for all Amigas. The game can be installed on harddrive but can also be started from disk or CD. A "boxed version" with additional features is available as well.
At least the game requires an Amiga 500 with 1 MB, the CD and HD versions 0,5 MB Fast Ram more. The different versions cost between 9 and 29 Euro (including shipping). On YouTube you can watch the release trailer.

Cloud memory with Amiga access: AmiCloud 2.0
The AmiCloud client for all Amiga systems as well as Windows, Linux and Mac OS X allows the access to a cloud memory without traffic limitation for public contents provided by Pascal Papara.
Version 2.0 of the client written with Hollywood now supports an unlimited number of sub-folders. The list of changes:
- FIX: Sometimes ACManager was not able to connect to AmiCloud, this should be resolved now.

- FIX: Fixed a bug that was causing errors when UTF8 characters were used in the filenames.
- NEW: Added a local index cleanup function at the end of the synchronization process to remove useless entries.
- NEW: Nested folders support.
- New core functionalities to handle this new feature in a recursive fashion
- Reworked the sharing window to show the folders structure using a treeview
- Windows & MacOS versions uses system AppData folders to write application data.
- NEW: Server error 403 Forbidden is now handled by the client.
- NEW: Added a information Windows to access quickly related web resources and to check for updates.
- NEW: Added several messages to make it clearer what AmiCloud is doing.
- NEW: Added multiuser support, heach account can have its own shared folder on the same computer.
- FIX: Users can change the shared folder if they need it.

Game: Full version of Mini Swat available
Andreas Rösner wrote: Three months ago a demo version of "Mini Swat" was uploaded to the Aminet. According to the developer duo of 'Amiga Wave', now the full version is available. The game was developed by JosĂ© A. 'Jojo073' Gonzáles and Zoltar Estrayk. They also wrote the games "Brus Li" and "Else we get mad!".
Again the game was written with Backbone. The programs Deluxe Paint and ProTracker were also used. Compared with most of the Backbone games, "Mini Swat" is not a simple jump'n'run but a top-down-shooter like "Crack Down".
The game requires an Amiga equipped with ECS/OCS and 1 MB RAM. Interested players will get "Mini Swat" by e-mail for free from the developers using amigawave@gmail.com. On YouTube you can watch a video.

Game: Official update for Worms DC announced (update)
Andreas Rösner wrote: On Facebook Andy Davidson, who is the developer of original Amiga version of "Worms: The Director's Cut", has announced that after about twenty years the game will be updated.
Bei Worms DC is the successor of the initial version of Worms. Compared to it the game already uses the AGA chipset of the Amiga 1200 and 4000. Until today the game and its successors are very popular.
Worms DC offered a variety of opportunities of modding which meant much more than only creating new levels. This develops into a kind of popular sport among Amiga users and therefore many years after the release of the game new levels and extensions have been released by users.
Update: (11.06.2018, 00:15, cg)
amiga-news.de reader Mario Cattaneo has collected the information about the project available on facebook and supplied it to us. The developer is answering a few users' questions over there, and posted two screenshots aswell as a photo of his development machine:
...how will this be released as a patch only or will the whole game be freeware?
Andy Davidson: More details about that later, but hopefully the latter. I
want as many people who still love the Amiga to be able to enjoy it as
possible :)
Will the unimplemented CD-ROM feature
that plays the FMV sequence from the MS-DOS, PlayStation and CD32
versions of Worms be included with this release?
Andy Davidson: I will look into it after I’ve got the game options done, but this
is something of a memory test! It’s sort of like riding a bike but scrolling
through the code part of me is amazed I did this in the first place haha
There was a bug on my release copy that meant that options set weren’t
saved properly... most notable after switching on JAMIE AND HIS MAGIC TORCH
or CHORLTON AND THE WHEELIES options ;) I assume they will all save properly
now? ;)
Andy Davidson: Yep, that was a silly bug.
Hey Andy, I've got a question: What title will this new version have?
Worms DC: 1.5 or Worms DC: 2 (or maybe other)? Thank you for an answer.
Andy Davidson: 1.5 I think. Unless more stuff goes in, but I am a bit rusty! (snx) (Translation: dr)

MorphOS: E-Mail client Iris, beta version 27
Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek's "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 speed of this new beta version was increased by about one third. Besides, the program now uses separate certifikates. Existing installations can be overwritten by the new version, the settings and the cache remain untouched. Now the developer is going to take a look at the outbox directory.
Changes in beta version 27:
- Serialized index loading when synchronizing folders in order to speed things up on non-SSD drives
- Compiled with a new toolchain for a >30 % (!) boost in performance
- Experimental local storage mode for IMAP. Please note that for now, all e-mail actions will be ignored while offline! Storing e-mails can be enabled in the Storage tab of account settings. Also note that only new messages will be downloaded once you enable local storage - to force downloading of old messages, visit a given folder
- Custom certificates can now be saved per account/transport
- Folder refresh now logged only if some e-mails were actually downloaded
- Fixed: MIME parts missing a Content-Type header assume text/plain instead of application/octet-stream. Fixes displaying e-mails sent from SimpleMail
- Fixed: invalid certificate handling crashed in autoconfiguration / Add Account
- Fixed: certificate failure handling path leaked memory and signals
- Fixed: changing account storage from POP3 to IMAP and vice versa meant that the folders list would not refresh anymore
Download: iris.lha (22 MB)

amiga-news.de also accessable SSL encrypted
From now on you also can visit our website under the URL https://www.amiga-news.de, that means with SSL encryption. Considering our readers using a real Amiga, a SSL communication currently is not forced - but because we attach importance to relative URLs syntax, readers should permanently surf the Internet SSL encrypted if they have chosen the SSL start URL.
Due to the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation some parts of the website are always SSL encrypted. This applies to forms completing by users e.g. writing comments or using our contact form.
If SSL users should find a link on our websites, which downgrades their connection to an unencrypted communication, then please let us know.

Apollo-Team: Delay of Vampire V4, Vampire 600 V2.1 being produced
Under the title link the Apollo team has announced that the release of the FPGA accelerator board Apollo V4 continues to be delayed. A single bug makes it necessary to rewrite an important part of the core. The team wrote: "Hundreds of hours have been spent on it to determine why the heck the Vampire V4 does work well on some Amiga 500 boards and not on others (despite same chips revisions). Team measured everything that could be measured (if you mind, majsta has the biggest thing we could measure) and crosschecked with all Altera manuals, and could not find a single hardware issue...the Amiga 500 is a real timing inferno. Most of us agrees that understanding women is easier than talking to an Amiga 500 chipset."
Igor 'Majsta' Majstorovic has started again the production of the Vampire 600. Some hardware components have been improved in V2.1, e.g. "better power circuitry, better caps, better socket, better cigarette smell, etc".

MorphOS: OpenXcom 1.0.74xxx
Paweł 'Stefkos' Stefański has updated his MorphOS port of OpenXcom. This is an open source clone of the Microprose game UFO: Enemy Unknown based on SDL. Additionally the original files of X-COM: UFO Defense are required.
Changes:
- UFO Xcom and Terror From The Deep work now
- When music is not loaded application is working (in original version it didn't)
- No FLC video (game support only intro application at the moment - UFO XCom)
- Software game display engine is really slow
- No OpenGL shaders
Download: openxcom.lha (4 MB)

amiga-news.de: Common login for news section and forum
Historically amiga-news.de has been developed from several program packages which are completely independent. Therefore you had to separately log in the comment section and the forum although both sections used the same user database.
In the course of adapting to the General Data Protection Regulation we have changed to a common login. Users only have to log in once and are recognized as registered on the whole website. You have to accept the new General Data Protection Regulation while your first login.

FastCache040+ 1.8
FastCache040+ is a patch for the 68040 and 68060.library, which replaces the functions CachePreDMA() and CachePostDMA(). The replacement functions are noticeably shorter and promise a more efficient management of the Copyback cache for the DMA. "While every system
will have some CPU performance loss under DMA conditions, the new functions keep this performance loss to a bare minimum."
A MMU is required. Tools like GigaMEM or VMM which provide virtual memory must not be used. And as the author also wrote: "Do NOT use this patch with any
code which uses the MMU to write protect or remap modified data structures!...Remapping a mirror image of the Kickstart ROM with the MMU is OK!"
Users of a Phase5-68060.library first should run FixMapP5 before starting the patch.
