Picasso96 conflict: Jens Schönfeld reacts to Cloanto's rebuttal
Jens Schönfeld (Individual Computers) has been publicly claiming (German) for quite a while that Cloanto (PersonalPaint, Amiga Forever) are distributing unlicensed copies of Picasso96. In an attempt to rebut these allegations, the Italian developer had published his documentation regarding the Picasso96 license for Amiga Forever two weeks ago.

Yesterday, Jens Schönfeld reacted to this move by adding an addendum to the Picasso96 press release on his company's website: He points to a section in the mails published by Cloanto where Mike Battilana from Cloanto and then P96-Owner Alexander Kneer agree on the phrase "licensed copy [...] without upgrade privileges" to describe Cloanto's license.

According to Mr. Schönfeld, this statement does not only refer to "upgrades" of Picasso96, but also to upgrades of Amiga Forever - meaning that the license would only be valid for the one Amiga Forever version that was available at the time the agreement was reached. He points out that the original P96 authors claimed there were no other licensees when selling the rights to the software to him - which he says confirms his point of view.

Today, a private e-mail from Jens Schönfeld was leaked to a dutch Amiga forum. In the message, he's telling the organisers of the Amiga34 event that he has to withdraw his offer to sponsor the event since (quote) "the legal confrontation with Cloanto is binding a lot of resources". He also states that he will "leave the market within the next 12 months" and that his stock and designs are for sale.

In a second message that was released later on, the German hardware developer confirms the authenticity of the leaked e-mail, but stresses that it was not meant to be released publically. He's also refining the statement regarding his exit from the Amiga scene somewhat, stating that he will "surely leave the market" should Cloanto "win a lawsuit" - but only in that case, apparently.

Notes from the staff:

The phrase "upgrade privileges" is pretty common in English licensing agreements, but in our experience always refers to just the software that is being licenced. As far as we can tell, using that phrase the way Mr. Schönfeld suggests it was used here would be a rather unorthodox approach.

Jens Schönfeld refers to "a lawsuit", that Cloanto might win. We are not aware of any lawsuits between Cloanto and Individual Computers and in late December the latter was still hoping (German) that his Italian adversary would "finally settle the whole thing in front of a court". This is why the remark is probably referring to the laswuit between Cloanto and Hyperion: Individual Computers is a Hyperion licensee and would be directly affected by a Hyperion defeat.

amiga-news.de website: Minor bugs fixed
Our programmer Programmierer Sven Drieling has fixed some minor bugs of the website of amiga-news.de: Among others Configuring the main page now also works although a coresponding cookie already exists on the computer of the user. Additionally the function "Send via e-mail" at the bottom of each message now uses the correct link to the original news item. We would linke to thank Thomas Rapp and Björn Berz for reporting the bugs. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Game: Soundtrack CD of Reshoot R
Press release: To offset the wait for the release of the new Amiga Shoot'em-Up Reshoot R by Richard Löwenstein, we have decided to offer the soundtrack CD prior to the actual game's release. The audio soundtrack to Reshoot R has been produced by the game author, Richard Löwenstein, and APC&TCP. Contributors were AMIworx, German Remix Group, Altraz, d4XX and others.

The Reshoot R soundtrack CD is now available at the title link. Dealers who are interested in offering the Reshoot R soundtrack CD to their customers are welcome to contact APC&TCP by e-mail for availability details. To be fair, we want to mention that the Reshoot R soundtrack CD (in another format) will also be part of the Signature Edition of Reshoot R. (snx)

E-mail programs: AmiSSL 4.3 speeds up SSL/TLS communication
In February 2017 a team consisting of Jens Maus and Thore Böckelmann (e.g. YAM) and others released the first version of AmiSSL 4. Recently an update to AmiSSL 4.3 was released which now is based on the latest version OpenSSL 1.1.1a (20.11.2018) and provides the current protocol and cipher versions of TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3. Changes:
  • Updated OpenSSL backend to latest OpenSSL 1.1.1a (20.11.2018) version including newest TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 protocol/cipher versions and general compatibility
  • Updated root certificates to latest Mozilla-based bundle provided by https://curl.haxx.se/ca/
  • Minor improvements/fixes
Using AmiSSL 3.x, some e-mail providers could not be used any longer on certain classic hardware because establishing the connection to the outbox and inbox servers failed due to the timeout of the required TLS/SSL encryption (amiga-news.de reported). Out tests show that version 4 of AmiSSL speeds up the SSL/TLS handshake. It is again possible to send and receive e-mails with a Freenet account using YAM and an Amiga 1200/030 (OS 3.9).

Jump'n Run: Celtic Heart
After the releases of Trap Runner and Solid Gold the brothers Frank und Gerrit Wille have joined for their third game project called "Celtic Heart". According to programmer Frank in contrary to the first two games this time it is only an "internal test project" and therefore "is neither as polished as Trap Runner nor will there ever be a physical release of it".


For Celtic Heart to the existing trap-runner-engine the option of hitting the enemy while standing or sitting was added.

Download:

Game: CelticHeart.adf (880 KB)
Source code: CelticHeart.lha (880 KB)

Hint to the source code archive:

The archive contains the full project including source texts, graphics, music, tools, etc. For compiling an ADF the following tools are required:
  • ein C99 Compiler
  • vasmm68k_mot
  • vlink
  • GNU-make
Makefiles for vbcc ("Makefile") and gcc ("Makefile.unix") are also included but you have to change the path to the NDK3.x Assembler Includes: ASINC depending on the host system. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Javascript: Scripted Amiga Emulator 0.9.10
Rupert Hausberger's "Scripted Amiga Emulator" is written in Javascript and HTML5 using AROS-ROMs as Kickstart replacement. The emulator is used by archive.org for its Amiga "library". New in version 0.9.10:
  • Memory/Roms
    • Fixed wrong $A80000-memory-access in combination with extended-roms > 1mb. (Thanks 'Vesuri' for commit)
    • Updated AROS-ROMs to actual version SVN55696.
  • Disk
    • Fixed bug in DMS decompression with DEEP Compression (Thanks 'steffest' for commit)
  • Video
    • Added support for the 'fullscreen-API'. There is a new api-function called sae.screen() and the new hook-function
      config.hooks.event.screened(). All browsers should support that. See the examples.
    • The mouse-pointer can now be hidden or locked via the 'pointerLock-API'.
      The feature is enabled by default. All browsers should support that. See 'Config/Video/Cursor'.
    • A canvas-element can now used directly as output. See example2.htm
  • Audio
    • Fixed wrong/multiple audio-channel selection at the ADKCON-register. (Thanks 'Vesuri' for commit)
    • Added mute-support over sae.mute()
  • Ports
    • Added experimental support for the 'Gamepad API'. It is disabled by default.
      Go to 'Config/Ports' to enable it. (Thanks to 'SpliFF' for the basic implementation)
    • Better handling of buttons and movement. No input-events get lost and also the 3rd mouse-button is now dectected.
    • Added emualtion of various protection-dongles.
    • Finished support for direct-serial communication and added hooks. See the examples.
    • Added support for direct-parallel communication and hooks. Also see the examples.
    • Removed the 'Enable Serial'-checkbox from 'Config/Ports'. Does not made much sense without hooks.
  • Config
    • Added hooks that get called after the emulator has been started, stopped, reseted, paused or fullscreened.
    • Fixed invalid access of the config-object. (Thanks 'db48x' for commit)
  • Common
    • Removed Google-Analytics. Sorry for the molestation.
    • Added an error if a ZIP-file get detected. Compressed files are not yet supported.
    • Fixed Object.prototype.clone() to a custom function to be compatible with 'jQuery'. (Thanks 'Vesuri' for commit)
    • The patch-version-number has now a 2nd digit and starting at 10.

Hollywood: APK Compiler 3.0 released

Press release: Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to present a brand-new version of one of the most popular add-ons for Hollywood 8.0: The Hollywood APK Compiler 3.0. This program converts Hollywood applets into stand-alone APK packages that can then be published on the Google Play Store where they will be available to billions of Android users. Once the Hollywood APK Compiler has been set up, the conversion of a Hollywood applet into an APK file takes only a few seconds.

Version 3.0 is a major update which adds support for Hollywood 8.0 as well as for RapaGUI 2.0. It also introduces a new build caching mechanism which greatly reduces build times. It is also possible to link whole directories of assets to the APK now and the plugin linker is much more efficient too. Furthermore, the Hollywood APK Compiler is now available in a Home Edition and a Professional Edition. The Professional Edition of the Hollywood APK Compiler removes the "Powered by Hollywood" splash screen, it allows you to execute custom Java code and it also allows the customization of the Hollywood APK Compiler's Android manifest and Gradle build scripts. See here for a detailed comparison between the Home and Professional Edition.

All people who have bought Hollywood 8.0 and a previous version of the Hollywood APK Compiler can request a free upgrade to the Home Edition of the Hollywood APK Compiler via e-mail. Alternatively, people who already own a previous version of the Hollywood APK Compiler can also upgrade to the Professional Edition with a discount. See here for more information.

Note that the Hollywood APK Compiler is currently only available for the Microsoft Windows platform because it requires the Java SE Development Kit (JDK) and the Android SDK, both of which are available for free download from the web. (snx)

WHDLoad: Version 18.4 released / New installers until 02.03.2019
Using WHDLoad, you can install games, scene demos and intros from cracking groups to your harddisk that were only working from floppy disks previously. Version 18.4 provides many changes, bug fixes and new features, e.g. the splash window can also be closed now pressing the fire button on the joystick in port #1 and a new special quit key has been added which quits by pressing Reverse, Forward and Play together on a joypad.
  • fix: option NoReq/S has also effect now for errors occuring in conjunction with option Data/K (issue #3690)
  • fix: patch list command PL_GA fixed in the WHDLoadCD32
  • fix: fixed wrong results with resload_ExNext introduced in 18.3, e.g. game Ork Attack (Psygore)
  • fix: in version 18.3 a CMD_STOP/FLUSH/START of input.device was added, this seems to cause problems on some configurations, to avoid them the code has been removed again
  • chg: cpu cache handling in kickemu changed, there are new options CACHECHIP and CACHECHIPDATA, the behavior of option CACHE has been reverted to pre HDLoad release 18.3, with option CACHE all caches are enabled for expansion memory if MMU is used, with option CACHECHIP the instruction cache will be enabled for all memory independent from from WHDLoad's MMU usage, option CACHECHIPDATA will enable data and instruction cache for all memory, if no CACHE* option is set the cache are disabled now, in previous releases the cache setup wasn't modified which resulted in WHDLoad's default cache setup where inst/data cache is enabled for ExpMem/Slave if MMU used - similar to option option CACHE where additionally the 68060 stuff is enabled (branch cache, superscalar, write buffer), please consult also the provided kick.readme
  • chg: kickemu kick13.s has been modified to work with data cache in chip memory, gfx.Text now uses the cpu to clear the temporary buffer instead the blitter
  • new: macro PL_STR0 added to the patch list commands which will write the given string plus a 0-byte to the destination
  • new: italian keymap added to the docs (thanks Luca Longone)
  • fix: kickfs: with IOCACHE to order of writes is now preserved, in previous releases it was not, which could cause switches to the operation system on resload_SaveFileOffset because offsets outside the current filesize
  • chg: if SplashDelay=0 and ConfigDelay>0 the splash window is opened if there is a config (Juuso Salmijärvi)
  • chg: the local option Config now overwrites a config string contained in the Slave
  • chg: option Preload/S can also be used in the global configuration file
  • fix: using Snoop on the 68030 the fire button bits in cia.ddra can be set to output mode now (reading joypad), previously this was only allowed on 68040/60 (StingRay)
  • chg: BaseMemory is now allocated in possible three parts to reduce memory requirements if higher areas of chip memory are already used by the system
  • new: a segtracker modul has been added to all kickemu variants, equal to the known utility SegTracker by Michael Sinz this will track all loaded executables, WHDLoad will use this information to display name and offset in all error messages, this will make it easier to locate causes for malfunctions in kickemu installed programs
  • chg: the calculation of exec.ChkSum in kick12/13.s has been fixed
  • fix: if SegTracker was used and no matching segment was found WHDLoad displayed sometimes some garbage, this has been fixed
  • chg: all the sources provided by JOTD has been updated to the latest level, nonvolatile.s has been removed because the sources are now using the nonvolatile.s provided by WHDLoad, thanks to JOTD
  • chg: WHDLoadGCI allows now opening a new memory window from the address under the cursor in a memory window, a bug in partial extraction of Base/ExpMemory has been fixed
  • chg: a patch has been added to all kickemus to disable the key repeat of the input.device after a switch to the operating system, this should avoid problems on first time save operations triggered by a keypress
  • new: the splash window can also be closed now pressing the fire button on the joystick in port #1
  • new: a new special quit key has been added which quits by pressing Reverse, Forward and Play together on a joypad
  • chg: WHDLoad no longer tries to open the audio.device, there was not much benefit from it and to leave it avoids any requesters if already open by another application

Additionally, the following installers have been added until March 2nd, 2019:
  • 2019-03-01 improved: Bubble Bobble (Firebird) support for 2-button joystick and joypad added (Info)
  • 2019-02-25 improved: Superfrog (Team 17) joypad control added, floppy version chip memory reduced (Info)
  • 2019-02-24 improved: Battle Squadron (Innerprise) joystick 3rd button supported, CUSTOM3=1 to detect automatically if a joystick/pad or mouse is connected, CUSTOM4=1 to skip the blitter wait patch (Info, Image)
