Hollywood plugin: hURL 1.1 for several file transfer protocols
Press release: Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working elves in Christmas business, are back on your screen with a major update of hURL - the ultimate multi-protocol data transfer plugin for Hollywood which allows Hollywood scripts to transfer data using all kinds of different network protocols including full SSL support. Version 1.1 is a major update as it now includes full support for SFTP and SCP. Furthermore, this version contains a very important bugfix in the MorphOS version which is why MorphOS users should definitely upgrade to 1.1.
hURL supports an incredibly wide range of transfer protocols, e.g. DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, Gopher, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS, POP3, POP3S, RTMP, RTSP, SCP, SFTP, SMB, SMBS, SMTP, SMTPS, Telnet and TFTP. As with all Hollywood plugins, hURL comes with extensive documentation in various formats like PDF (over 300 pages!), HTML, AmigaGuide, and CHM that contains detailed descriptions about all functions and methods offered by the plugin. All of this makes hURL the ultimate data transfer tool for Hollywood that contains everything you need to send and receive data via almost any transfer protocol on the planet.
hURL is now available for free download from the official Hollywood portal. Thanks to Hollywood's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS3 (m68k), AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, Linux (ppc, arm, x86, x64), macOS (ppc, x86, x64), Windows (x86, x64), Android (arm, arm64), and iOS (arm, arm64) are provided.
Note that on AmigaOS and compatibles, AmiSSL 4.x is required by hURL for SSL transfers. Since this isn't available in a native MorphOS version yet, you can just use the 68k version of AmiSSL 4 on MorphOS. It has been verified to work fine with hURL.

FreePascal: Docker container to develop for AmigaOS 4 / LCL for AROS64
Development of FreePascal software within a Docker container (amiga-news.de reported) is now also possible for AmigaOS 4. Besides this, Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow has compiled the Pascal-based Lazarus Component Library (LCL) for the 64-bit version of AROS as well - still containing a few bugs for now, though. (snx)

AROS: Distribution Icaros Desktop 2.3 for patrons and beta testers
After a longer beta phase, Paolo Besser has released an update of his AROS distribution Icaros Desktop. As main new feature the developer has mentioned a highly reworked "HostBridge" (allowing to start Windows or Linux applications from a hosted AROS). Additionally diverse included applications have been added or updated, e.g. the spreadsheet application "Leu 0.08" or "SilkRAW", a RapaGUI-based front-end for dcraw. If you are going to support Besser on patreon.com, you will get immediately access to this new version 2.3. Otherwise the new version will be available for everyone after a while.

Text editor: Amiga Source Editor 1.2 (2019)
The "Amiga Source Editor" (ASE) is a text editor written by Alain Fontanin. He started to develop it in 1989 but stopped it in 1991. When Fontanin watched the documentary "Viva Amiga" last year, he was reminded "of this beautiful time". Since he no longer develops anything on Mac, he decided to "carry out this personal project and redevelop ASE".
Unfortunately he could not find any of the source codes except the "linked list manager (GLC) which had been published in 1991 in "le Petit Amiga Illustré". Additional to the source codes, he also lost the ASE distribution disks which he is looking for. They were distributed in France at Free Distribution SoftWare (FDS) with the number SH 1064. If anyone finds or has it please write the author.
ASE is a "multi-document" text editor: "You can open as many documents as your activity requires or your machine allows (especially in terms of memory and CPU power). The theoretical limit of the number of lines per document is 4.2 billion! The theoretical limit of the number of characters per line is 4.2 billion! ASE2019 has 1 level 'undo' function and Select / Copy / Cut / Paste editing functions." According to the author the editor runs on Amigas equipped with Kickstart zwischen 2.04 until 3.1, higher versions he could not test under FS-UAE. But we can confirm that ASE2019 also runs fine under OS3.9

FreePascal: Docker container for developing software on Amiga systems
Docker (Wikipedia entry) provides containers which "are a standardized unit of software that allows developers to isolate their app from its environment".
Such a container for Docker, Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow now has created for the Pascal compiler FreePascal as well as for the Pascal-based Lazarus Component Library (LCL) in order to being able to develop programms for AmigaOS 3.x, MorphOS and AROS. A VNC server is used for accessing the container. Due to some problems occuring if LCL is tried to compile for AmigaOS 4, this operating system currently is not supported.
