AmigaOS 4: Financial management LüttjeBookholler 1.60
The author Achim Pankalla wrote: "It is a easy to use personal finance program. "Lüttje Bookholler" is a german dialect and means "little accountant" and that is what you are, when using my little program. The program is capable to import account data via csv-import. LB is email-ware, if you want to use it permanent, please send me an email and you will get some advantages! for examples updates...LB needs at least AOS4.1u6".

In version 1.60 the DateBrowser for date-data fields was added. Any kind of feedback or suggests are very welcome. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Elfie - The Unicorn: Jump and Run game for girls (beta version)
Christian Giesing's "Elfie - The Unicorn" is a jump and run game, which the author has created for his daughters using Backbone. "Jack - The Unicorn Hunter" has also already announced and will be the equivalent for boys.

Currently the game is a beta version thus can include bugs and according to the author has not been perfectly balanced out. Some graphics and screens are still missing as well. 14 MHz, 2 MB RAM and Kickstart 3.x are required. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Hollywood: ZIP plugin 1.0
Press release: Airsoft Softwair, the unstoppable coding machine, is back on your screen with a brand new plugin for Hollywood: zip.hwp! This plugin allows Hollywood scripts to conveniently read and write zip archives. It uses Hollywood 6.0's new file and directory adapter plugin interfaces which allow you to iterate through zip archives as if they were normal directories. Files within zip archives can also be accessed as if the zip archive was a normal directory. It just doesn't get any easier!

With zip.hwp it is not necessary to unpack a file stored in a zip archive to a temporary file before it can be opened. Hollywood 6.0's file adapter plugin interface allows direct streaming from the zip archive into the respective file handler without any temporary file overhead. This makes it even possible to stream music or video directly from a zip file!

Additionally, zip.hwp also offers a range of functions to read, modify, and write zip archives. New zip archives can be created and existing zip archives can be opened and modified. There are lots of functions which allow you to read, change, and write attributes of files stored in zip archives. On top of that, zip.hwp also supports reading and storing password-protected files with strong AES-128, AES-192, and AES-256 encryption (though note that on AmigaOS 3.x and AROS it is not recommended to encrypt archives because the randomizer on these operating systems isn't strong enough for cryptography purposes.)

The zip plugin requires at least Hollywood 6.0 and is provided free of charge for all users of Hollywood. Note that it is recommended that you use at least Hollywood 7.0 because with earlier versions there is no support for archives which contain files with non-ASCII names. The zip plugin is available in versions for AmigaOS 3.x, AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, AROS (x86), Windows (x86, x64), Mac OS X (PPC, x86, x64), Linux (PPC, ARM, x86, x64) and Android. On top of that, the plugin comes with 30 pages of documentation in various formats like PDF, HTML, AmigaGuide, and CHM.

Zip.hwp is now available for free download from the official Hollywood portal at the title link. (snx)

FPGA processor: 68080 is to licenced to hardware producers for free
Gunnar von Boehn offers to provide his reimplementation of a 68k processor calles 68080 to further hardware producers. Currently the Vampire accelerator boards ("Apollo Cores") are equipped with a 68080 which are available for A500/A600 and announced for the A1200. For the "big" Amigas so far nobody has offered such solutions.

von Boehns now offers that a hardware producer can licence a version of the 68080 for free which after booting the system is reduced to the speed of a real 68060 processor but apart from that has all the features of a 68080. This "Shareware output" of the CPU end users could turn off by purchasing a keycode.

If companies would use this offer, producers could again offer fast accelerator board for Amigas and Ataris despite the high prices resp. the unavailability of such boards. On the other hand, von Boehn could break into new markets because producers like Jens Schönfeld could offer boards for the Amiga3000/4000.

This offer is limited to the CPU of the Apollo Core. Other parts like SAGA or a chipset emulation are not included. (cg) (Translation: dr)

15 years of Hollywood: Malibu 1.4 released as Freeware
Press release: 15 years ago today, on Nov 5th 2002, Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, released version 1.0 of Hollywood. Back then it was advertised as a "multimedia authoring system" comprising over 150 functions and it was only available for 68k Amigas. It immediately attracted the attention of lots of creative people from all around the world and thanks to the fantastic support of its community Hollywood has grown into a real swiss army knife for all different kinds of purposes. Who would have guessed 15 years ago that Hollywood would evolve into such a beast of a software that runs on over a dozen of different platforms and has lots of plugins that enhance its capabilities even further?

To celebrate Hollywood's 15th anniversary, Airsoft Softwair proudly presents a brand-new version of Malibu, the plugin that enables Hollywood to run Scala scripts. First released in June 2003, Malibu was the first Hollywood plugin and the one that started it all. As a special gift to the Hollywood community for its fantastic support over the last 15 years Airsoft Softwair has decided to make Malibu freely available for everybody. Previous versions were sold commercially but now Malibu is a Hollywood plugin that is provided completely free of charge like all other Hollywood plugins.

Malibu 1.4 is a major update that introduces support for Linux and Mac OS and for 64-bit architectures. It also contains various bug fixes and enhancements like the ability to export Scala scripts as Hollywood scripts. Malibu emulates nearly the whole Scala command set and supports all Scala versions from 1.0 up to Scala InfoChannel 500 which was the last Amiga version of Scala. Emulation is done by the El Capitan microkernel which tries to achieve the best performance possible on the system used. With Malibu it is now possible to run those Scala presentations without the actual classic Amiga hardware. Because the whole emulation runs on top of Hollywood's multimedia application layer you can run Scala presentations on every platform supported by Hollywood. In many cases the quality of the pictures that Malibu displays is much better than the original Scala quality because Scala often had to remap many pictures with very different colors to a 8-bit display which resulted in a massive loss of color information. With Malibu, however, all graphics are shown in true colour.

Scala is a program which helped the Amiga to become a real multimedia wonder. There were no products for a long long time that could beat an Amiga with Scala. Therefore Scala was widely used in all different production fields, from movies and television to big shows. Everyone who has worked with Scala knows what powers it has. But this power is only possible because Scala is very hard-coded to the Amiga's custom chips which leads to the problem that it does not run on modern Amiga systems or other platforms. For many years all sorts of users complained that there was no Scala that runs RTG compatible. This time is over now. Malibu revives Scala in a completely system-friendly way.

Malibu is available free of charge and can be downloaded from the official Hollywood portal under the title link. Versions for AmigaOS 3, AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, AROS (x86), Windows (x86,x64), Mac OS X (ppc, x86, x64) and Linux (ppc, arm, x86, x64) are provided.

Lukas 'mntmn' Hartmann has released another driver and firmware update for his FPGA-based graphics board VA2000. In version 1.8.3 a linear memory management is used which allows it to work with applications and games which do not accept the "BytesPerRow" specification. Besides, a workaround for a Picasso96 bug is included. For the extension VA21000CX now an automatic de-interlacer for the "Hires Laced" and "Lores Laced" screen solutions is available.

AmigaOS 4: Playable preview of "Spencer" (Entwickler-X)
"Spencer" (Youtube video) is the latest project of Entwickler-X (M.A.C.E., Swamp Defense, Emotion). Thomas 'imagodespira' Claus provides a playable preview but explicitly points out that this early version has still many bugs. For full performance, Spencer requires the latest versions of Warp 3D Nova and OpenGL ES although it is not perfectly clear if the last version which is available for users can meet this requirements. Spencer should also run without Nova, then MiniGL is used instead of it - and objects do not cast a shadow.

Some hints for reducing the graphical representation - to make the game running on weaker computers - and to the keyboard layout, Claus has published under the title link.

Preversion of Wings Remastered at Amiga32
We mistakenly have reported that Wings Remastered had been completed. We apologise for this mistake. A final Amiga version of Wings Remastered could not be presented at the Amiga32 but users who have ordered the game in advance could have a preversion of the AmigaOS 4 port burned on CD and take it home together with a box and a printed manual.

A3660: Free, 68060-compatible replica of A3640
John "Chucky" Hertell has replicated the A3000/A4000 CPU board A3640. A 68060 processor can be plugged in his board which analogous to the 68040-based model was named A3660. The project was started because many of the A3640-boards was damaged due to leaking capacitors and the modification of such a board is considered to be difficult for a 68060-processor. The developer has published all information about the replica in his blog. (cg) (Translation: dr)
