MorphOS: strangé 0.20, Gread 1.0k

strangé 0.20

strangé is a MUI-based AmigaGuide-/HTML-viewer, which based HTMLView.mcc. Changes in version 0.20:
  • Hemmm removed the fake iconify on MorphOS; it had some strange side effects that made it not usable in a clean way
  • Changed lineread.c to dynamically allocate buffers. There were problems with genesis and old fixed buffer scheme.
  • Fixed popfile.c not freying an allocated buffer
  • Fixed html.c double allocating URLs

Gread 1.0k

Tom 'Amigaharry' Duins Text viewer Gread was also updated as Version 1.0k and includes several small fixes.

Lost bonus level discovered in Apidya
Kaiko's shoot'em up Apidya, released in 1992, includes several bonus levels - apparently, one of them was not accessible by the player until now due to an error in the program.

In his blog, John Girvin describes how he was pointed out to the existence of this bonus level and could make it accessible to the player, in addition, he is making available screenshots and a video of the level, which he has christened as "Speed of Light" on the spot.

Girvin has released a WHDLoad patch, with which owners of the original can also play the level.

Hollywood: Current issues of the mailing list
Press release The Hollywood mailing list was set to "invite only" a fairly long time ago, in order to prevent spammers from joining the list and flooding the members with advertising. Unfortunately, this setting can no longer be reversed via Yahoo! Groups now, which is why the mailing list will remain "invite only" for eternity, so it can only be joined with invitation.

Therefore, a form is now provided on the product page of Hollywood on the Airsoft Softwair homepage, with which users who would like to join the mailing list can request a personal invitation.

The Hollywood mailing list is is open for everyone; users who do not have Hollywood yet can also join, if they are interested in the program and/or have questions about it. (snx) (Translation: cad)

Event: Classic Computing 2008
Press release Classic Computing 2008 on September 27 and 28 in the Eurotec Center in Moers.

Once again, the "Verein zum Erhalt klassischer Computer e.V." ("Association for the Preservation of Classic Computers, registered association") is inviting you to Classic Computing this year, too, this time on the west border of the Ruhr area, in the halls of the "Eurotec Center" in 47445 Moers.

On more than 600 square meters, as in the previous years, collections of home computers, game consoles, office computers, but also the repair corner, where computers of club members are reconditioned for free, are waiting for you. Of course, you may also play on historical computers which are set up especially for this purpose.

This year, we set a varying emphasis, for example, a collection of all computers ever built by Commodore that is as complete as possible, from the PET 2001 up to the Amiga 4000T.

Another important subject this year is the Atari. But other computers like Amiga, MSX, classic PC's and Sinclair are not missing out either.

Classic Computing is opened for visitors on Saturday from 10:00 o'clock to 19:00 o'clock, on Sunday from 11:00 o'clock to 16:00 o'clock. Entrance costs 5 euros.

But not only club members will exhibit there, other clubs, private collectors and companies area also welcome. The stand money is intentionally kept very low, to allow participation by individuals, too.

You can obtain further information directly via our homepage under the title link. (snx) (Translation: cad)

AmigaOS 4: Origyn Web Browser 1.10
Jörg Strohmayer has published an update of Origyn Web Browser (screenshot). OWB now includes a simple toolbar. AISS is supported for it. The changes in version 1.10:
  • Added tooltypes for the window size (WIDTH and HEIGHT). The sizes are for the web view, not the complete window
  • Stop gadget is disabled now after loading a page is completed
  • The 4th and 5th mouse buttons are used for back/forward now
  • Added tooltip support (displayed in the progress bar as well)
  • Changed some font engine parameters, the fonts look better now IMHO
  • Added support for a fallback font (tooltype UNICODEFONT, default Bitstream Cyberbit) which is used for missing glyphs in the normal fonts
  • Disabled all stdio output if OWB is started from workbench
  • Changed the network settings to the normal values again (at most 5 connections instead of the 25 used in previous versions which may be rejected by some sites). On most pages it's fast enough now, but since especially on large pages with lots of images without sizes, for example most forums, the rerendering of the pages after each completed (image) load still slowed it down a *lot* I changed it to only (re)render the pages after everything was loaded, or every 5 seconds. Although it makes loading most pages much faster, it can cause way too long delays on interactive sites loading additional data like http://maps.google.com/ instead. Since that's only the case on a few sites I guess it's better that way, and when/if OWB gets much faster the 5 seconds can be decreased.
  • Back/forward gadgets are disabled now while loading, and if there is nothing in the history to go to
  • Updated to SVN revision 239 (BMP image decoder added)

  • Changes to options.c to load prefs faster
  • Changes to prefs,c to handle prefs faster
  • Added a "table detail pen", even if not used atm
  • Rewrite the code to use SDI_#? for easy porting, but rewrote some SDI_#? stuff, because they handle mos in a very bad way

  • Fixed documents color handling
  • Added BACKDROP option
  • Added FANCY option for MorphOS version only, try it out :P
  • MorphOS version iconify is now done in app subclass: the main window is not closed, but hidden, so that loading and pics rendering continues even when iconified

  • Revisited local and online docs
  • Many other minor bug fixes and changes

Amiga Inc.: AmigaAnywhere 2 for registered developers
In a press release Amiga Inc. announced that version 2 of AmigaAnywhere™ (AA2) is available for registered Amiga-SDA-developers.

Additionally an AA2-FAQ-Site has been opened. Here you can read that AA2 and "OS5" is not identical: The first one is a middleware, the second one is decentralized, virtual operating system which will be not finished in the near future. But AA2 will be part of OS5.

Even though middleware is not a new idea because there are already similar products AA2 is different to them because of its simplicity and its features. (snx) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: Origyn Web Browser 1.7
Jörg Strohmayer has published a new version of the SDL-browser OWB (screenshot). Changes in version 1.7:
  • Implemented the font system for AmigaOS4. Make sure outline fonts you installed yourself have the families set (in the Files tab in TypeManager)
  • Reenabled GIF animations, with the much faster fonts they are no longer such a big problem, at least if there are only a few animations on a page
  • Updated to SVN revision 236
  • Added Andrea's ARexx port (hostname: OWB, commands: OPENURL "url", STOP, GOBACK, GOFORWARD)

New, Wiki based version of ExoticA
ExoticA is about "retro": Scans of old games, Amiga and C64 soundtracks, pictograms for WHDLoad-Installs and much more. Exotica currently consists of 8000 sites.

After two years the transfer of the complete site to a so called Wiki has been finished. According to the authors some few sections have little problems but the users are already very welcome to complete the Wiki with further information or to fix bugs in existing entries.

Under old.exotica.org.uk you can still access the old version of the site but it is not supported any longer. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: First beta version of PFTP 0.1
Peter Gordon's PFTP which is a FTP-client for AmigaOS 4 has changed its alpha status to beta.

Changes since the last alpha version:
  • It's no longer alpha (dancing bananas...)
  • Cool new about window
  • PFTP is now completely localised (.cd file included)
  • Added an Amiga version string
  • New toolbars at the top of the directory windows
  • Now properly searches the system search path for ssh when run from WB (thanks to Fredrik Wikström for the report)
  • You can now retry or delete transfers from the aborted transfer list
  • Should now start up a bit faster when you start it for the first time after a boot (its gone from ~4 seconds to ~2 seconds here)
  • PFTP now works a lot better in smaller modes like 640x480 and 800x600 provided you don't have huge fonts I guess... (and i remember when 800x600 was huge)
  • There is now proper documentation

APC&TCP: Current projects in 2008
Press release APC&TCP 2008: This year APC&TCP have plans for many Amiga projects. We would like to offer you a brief outline of our plans:

AmiATLAS

Many people doubted there would be any further development but we want you to know that it is still intended to be released, but in small updates. You should be aware that it is one of the most complex projects for the Amiga. Thousands of files have to be accounted for, updated and maintained. Future versions will require AmigaOS4 and will use a brand new ReAction GUI. Furthermore there will be support for many new file formats making the transfer between different platforms easier.

Amiga Guru Book

The German Amiga Guru Book has been available from us for some time. That's why many users asked us if we could make the English one available as well. The English version is going to be completed later in 2008, but due to lack of time, it will be around the middle of the year when it is ready, but it will eventually be finished.

CygnusED

Of course the development of CygnusED is also continuing. A new update is already in the pipeline but it will take some time to complete. We are also on the look-out for a competent developer for the MorphOS version.

DigiBoosterPro

An additional developer has been working on DigiBoosterPro for some time now. This has made development much quicker than was at first anticipated. Currently we think that we can give you a detailed status report in 2-3 months. Maybe even sooner... and if everything goes smoothly, there will be a version of DigiBoosterPro for 68k, AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and even AROS.

Desert Racing

Actually a version of Desert Racing for AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS has been planned for some time. Unfortunately the developer responsible for the game is very busy at the moment. That's why we are currently looking for a new programmer. Desert Racing has been written in BlitzBasic. Anyone interested in assisting with this development is invited to contact us.

Flyin' High

Currently we are working on an AmigaOS 4 version of Flyin' High. However it's not ceertain whether the port will ever be finished. We can only say that someone is working on it, but there is no promise that it will eventually be released. Many people have asked us if we were going to release a sequel to Flyin' High. The problem is we have no available developers to continue the work at a steady pace, and even less graphic artists. So sorry, at this point there is not likely to be a sequel to Flyin' High.

MED Soundstudio

Here the development has been long and drawn out, mainly due to the lack of time and technical problems, but this year it should finally be completed.

Amiga Future

With issue 70 the Amiga Future has reached 10 years old. That's a tremendous reason for us to celebrate. As well as the 6 issues of the print magazine intended for this year 2008, the Amiga Future homepage is going to be greatly enhanced and will contain lots of new features and content. In fact, we believe that the size of the Amiga Future homepage will double. We hope that the hits will rise like they have done over the past 12 months.

Is there any more news?

Currently we are in negotiations with people regarding various projects which we want to publish for the Amiga. New projects, mergers and aquisitions, ports and others, but nothing is set in stone at this point. However, you can be sure that there will be many new releases from APC&TCP in 2008. (snx)

Airsoft Softwair, Andreas Falkenhahn (ANF)


Hollywood 3: Evolution released
Press release: Airsoft Softwair are proud to annouce the immediate availability of Hollywood 3: Evolution. This is a major update which brings along many new features and general improvements over Hollywood 2.5. The most important new feature is that Hollywood can now compile native executables for Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac OS. Yes, that's right. You can now save your Hollywood projects as fully stand-alone programs for Windows and Mac OS!

This is made possible by the new HAL (Hollywood Abstraction Layer) introduced in Hollywood 3. And thanks to Hollywood's cross-compiler, you do not even need to have these operating systems running. You can cross-compile Mac OS and Windows binaries from every system that Hollywood runs on. This makes it possible to create full-blown Mac OS or Windows applications from your AmigaOS 3, AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, AROS, or WarpOS installation of Hollywood. The Mac OS and Windows applications created by Hollywood are completely stand-alone and do not need any additional libraries. They use the OS API directly, thus giving you the best speed possible without any overhead. They will work on any system that runs at least Windows 2000 or Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger).

Furthermore, the Mac OS and Windows versions use Hollywood's new ACL (Amiga Compatibility Layer). This means that they can handle many Amiga file formats like IFF ILBM, IFF ANIM, IFF 8SVX, IFF 16SV, Protracker modules and Amiga bitmap fonts. Thus, your scripts will run straight out of the box on Windows and Mac OS because Hollywood can open all these Amiga specific formats.

Besides these huge two new features Hollywood 3 has several other cool new features. Here is a non-exhaustive list of new features in Hollywood 3:
  • Hollywood can compile Mac OS X programs now!
  • Hollywood can compile Windows programs now!
  • Switch between fullscreen and window via hotkey
  • Iconify Hollywood scripts to the Workbench
  • All Hollywood scripts are commodities now (controllable via Exchange)
  • Improved sound library
  • Cool new features in the DOS library
  • New animation library: animation.datatype no longer necessary
  • Direct access to the command line arguments
  • More flexible control over Hollywood's appearance
  • General code optimization and clean-up
  • Support for new sound streaming formats
  • Support for HAM6 and HAM8 animations
  • Eight new example scripts (over 50 in total)
  • Standard library set encompasses over 400 functions now!
  • Lots of other changes, optimizations and bug fixes

Hollywood 3: Evolution is Airsoft Softwair's ultimate Multimedia experience and a must-have for every Amiga user who wants to use the full power that is in his machine. Hollywood is available on a CD-ROM and as a download version. If you order the download version, you will have to download an ISO image which you need to burn on CD-R then. If you already own Hollywood, you can buy a discounted upgrade version.

Screenshots of Hollywood 3 in action (on Mac OS X and WinXP, among others) can be found on the Airsoft Softwair Homepage.

Hollywood is the ultimate bridge between all the different AmigaOS compatible platforms and the other two modern desktop systems, Windows and Mac OS! With Hollywood, you can save programs for all those platforms. You do not have to have AmigaOS4 or AROS, you can save programs for these platforms also from your AmigaOS3 installation! You do not need to have Mac OS X, you can still compile your programs for it using your AmigaOS or MorphOS installation. Only Hollywood makes it possible. If you want to learn more about Hollywood, please visit the Hollywood product information which also contains a full feature list of Hollywood.

All this makes Hollywood The Cross-Platform Multimedia Application Layer. Join the Multimedia revolution and get your personal copy of Hollywood 3: Evolution now! (cg) (Translation: cad)
