Hollywood: Plananarama-Plugin
Press release: It's planar, baby! Airsoft Softwair - the hardest working men in code business - are back on your screen with the Plananarama plugin for Hollywood. With the Plananarama plugin Hollywood is finally able to run on planar screens again! This finally makes it possible to run Hollywood scripts on plain AGA or ECS systems with no graphics board installed - for the first time since Hollywood 1.93 (released in March 2005)!
Starting with version 2.0, Hollywood required CyberGraphX or Picasso96 to run. Since then, many people have asked for a revival of Hollywood's planar engine, so here it is, a real blast from the past! Thanks to Hollywood 6's greatly extended plugin API this feature could be implemented completely in plugin space. Once Plananarama is installed, all Hollywood scripts will magically run on palette screens again! All resolutions are supported - from 8-bit LowRes to 1-bit productivity SuperHighRes Interlace.
Plananarama is the third plugin to bear the Powered by Hollywood 6.0 seal of quality as it utilizes the new display and bitmap adapter plugin interfaces introduced with Hollywood 6.0. The plugin will not work with older versions of Hollywood. Only Hollywood 6.0 makes it possible. That's why we here at Airsoft Softwair say: Life starts at 6.0. Plananarama is available free of charge and can be downloaded from the official Hollywood portal. It is only available in a version for AmigaOS 3 because all other systems don't use planar graphics any more.
You need an 68020 or better. It is also recommended to install FBlit because otherwise you are likely to run out of chip memory really quickly. When configuring FBlit make sure you add Hollywood to its "Include" list in the "FAllocBitMap" tab so that Hollywood will be able to store its graphics in fast memory. Speaking of fast mem, 16 megabyte of fast memory are highly recommended.
This release is dedicated to all people who think life is better in 8 bitplanes. Who needs chunky? This is planar, baby! Proudly brought to you by Airsoft Softwair - the hardest working men in code business.

Promotion video: Tanks Furry is (also) commercially distributed
In "Tanks Furry" you have to destroy the opponent's tanks before they can destroy your base - at the beginning of December, a playable demo was released. Now the developers have published a very professional promotion video and have pointed out, that the game will be not only distributed as free download, but also on CD in a DVD-case.
Tanks Furry offers a single and a two player mode and requires an Amiga with 68020-processor and at least 1 MB RAM. The game will be probably released in Februar. The commercial game will be distributed with a 12-page manual as well as with stickers, so you can create "original disks".

Web Browser: Github-Repository for Odyssey
Against a payment of 7500 Euro, in January 2014 Fabien 'Fab' Coeurjoly released the source code of his web browser Odyssey. After the release of an AmigaOS 4 port, for some months the available AROS port provided by Krzysztof 'Deadwood' Śmiechowicz is the only one which is currenty developed further.
On Github, the programmer has published the source code of his Odyssey port and has invited all Amiga developers to join the work. He is willing to introduce the code base and the developing process to unexperienced programmers. If you are interested in, then please contact him via eMail.
The archive on Github includes the latest version 1.25 which is based on Coeurjoly's latest release Odyssey 1.24 and provides the following improvements:
- uses directly the Webkit engine - the Orygin layer is no longer required - which makes it easier to use Webkit updates
- uses WebKit revision 187682 (from end of July)
- Source code and build configuration are prepared for the development of several (Amiga) destination platforms

Tracker: Symphonie Pro can be compiled again
Patrick Meng's tracker Symphonie Pro supports 256 physical audio channels, a 16-Bit software DSP as well as 16-Bit samples. Originally the pro-version of the programm was distributed for 120 D-Mark and eight years ago it was made available with its source codes on Aminet.
It turned out that the source code was incomplete, but now the missing parts could be filled. Under the title link on GitHub the completed source code as well as the programm are available, all programmers who are going to develop the programm further are very welcome.

Hyperion: AmigaOS 3.1 source code leak - official statement
Press release: Brussels, January 5, 2016 -
Hyperion Entertainment wishes a happy New Year 2016 everybody!
The days between last Christmas and New Year were actually clouded by the sad fact that the source code of AmigaOS 3.1 and additional content dating back to 1994 was published and widely spread without permission of the rights-holder. Note that no code of AmigaOS 4.x was released or distributed.
Hyperion Entertainment holds an exclusive, world-wide, perpetual source-code license to the intellectual property of AmigaOS 3.1 and additional content as documented in the publicly available settlement agreement between Hyperion Entertainment and Amiga, Inc. which has taken the form of a stipulated judgement.
Based on this license AmigaOS 4.x development was started in 2001 by Hyperion Entertainment using the AmigaOS 3.1 code as a basis and as the direct successor of what Commodore left behind in 1994. AmigaOS 4.x is an actively developed product on sale and still incorporates a substantial amount of AmigaOS 3.1 code.
While this would be already more than enough of a reason to care about the unauthorised disclosure and distribution, it is also the very same settlement agreement which made all of this possible in the first place, which contractually requires Hyperion to enforce and protect any intellectual property rights associated with AmigaOS including the AmigaOS 3.1 source-code.
This entails that Hyperion Entertainment will examine all possible legal action against any unauthorised source of or use of this material it is aware of. All of this leads up to the reason why we "make such a fuss" about code which is more than 20 years old by now. While the original leak seems to stem from someone outside of the active community, it is even more sad to see quite some of the remaining active users happily participate in distributing this unauthorised copy, compromising years of development work and all possible future versions of AmigaOS and therefore biting the hand that feeds them against all common sense and in blatant violation of copyright.
Having said that, our most special thanks go to all loyal customers, user groups, dealers, partners and all others who showed and continue to show their support to us. You are the reason why AmigaOS still exists, why it remains under active development and why we care.
Thank you,
on behalf of Hyperion Entertainment, all associated developers, translators and testers.
