Hollywood: APK Compiler 1.0 for Windows
Press release: Airsoft Softwair - the hardest working men in code business - are proud to present a brand new add-on for Hollywood 6.0: The Hollywood APK Compiler.
This program does what many people were waiting for: It allows the conversion of Hollywood applets into stand-alone APK packages that can then be published on the Google Play Store or distributed in an other way.
Once the Hollywood APK Compiler has been set up, the conversion of a Hollywood applet into an APK file takes only a few seconds. Additionally, the Hollywood APK Compiler can also install the generated APK file onto an Android device connected via USB.
The Hollywood APK Compiler is currently only available for the Microsoft Windows platform because it requires the Java SE Development Kit (JDK), Apache Ant and the Android SDK and NDK toolchains, all of which are available for free download on the web. Versions for Linux and Mac OS X might follow in the future but Amiga versions are impossible because of those dependencies. Hollywood 6.0 is also required.
The Hollywood APK Compiler comes with a convenient GUI that allows you to convert your Hollywood applets into stand-alone APK files with just a few mouse clicks. A detailed documentation of all the program's features is also included. The APKs generated by the Hollywood APK Compiler will run on all ARM-based Android devices that run at least Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread).
The program's license also allows you to sell the apps created by the Hollywood APK Compiler without any restrictions or royalties. So there is nothing stopping you from getting rich quickly with your Hollywood applets on the Google Play Store now! Programming and publishing for Android has really never been so easy!
So get ready for Android development and purchase the Hollywood APK Compiler now on the official Hollywood portal at the title link!

Google Drive-Handler: mount Google Drive storage under AmigaOS (Update 2)
Google Drive Handler is a DOS handler "allowing easy access to Your Google Drive storage." The handler was built with the latest version of OpenSSL.
Google Drive Handler is Shareware - "Without a licence key, the handler acts as a read only volume, and document exporting is disabled." It can be purchased for 10 Euro. Exporting documents is not working with certain file managers (Directory Opus is mentioned as an example) since the handler only learns the actual filesize during the export operation.
According to the author "this handler is still in an early stage of development, far from the mature state." A port for MorphOS has been announced.
Update: (2016-01-27, 18:15, cg)
amiga-news.de reader Dandy has asked the programmer Norbert Klett about his future plans regarding the Google Drive-Handler:
Dandy: In the 'Google Drive Handler'-readme you wrote that "Dropbox and Google Cloud Print are planned as well". Any idea how long I will still have to wait for Dropbox support?
Norbert Kett: DropBox handler is under development, my intent is to release it in next month.
Dandy: What will "Google Cloud Print" be? Will there be something comparable for Dropbox?
Norbert Kett: Google Cloud Print would be an easy printing solution for Amiga. You can print documents with drag&drop, and no printer driver is required. This is sort of network printing. As I know only Google offers this printing support at the moment. With one licence, you can use all my upcoming REST API based products on all Amiga like platforms without limitation.
Dandy: What does "REST API based products" mean?
Norbert Kett: REST API is an industry standard for app <-> server communication. It is getting more popular. Some services for example: Google Drive, Google Cloud Printing, DropBox, Microsoft One-Drive, Amazon Cloud, PayPal, Twitter, FaceBook, and many others.
Update: (28.01.2016, 17:15, cg)
Initially, our news item stated that the handler would list all files as having a size of 0 bytes, that's not correct: It actually lists an imaginary file size, since the real, unknown filesize might cause various problems. But some filemanagers are not compatible with the latter behaviour either, the author mentions Directory Opus as an example. (cg) (Translation: dr)

MiST: Update of FPGA-AGA-Core 1.1
For the Atari-/Amiga-clone MiST (amiga-news.de reported), an update to version 1.1 of the emulated Amigas with AGA-support has been released. Besides, the compatibility was increased by some bug fixes.
The MiST developer Till Harbaum wrote: "The last few weeks i fixed the 68020 bitfield instructions in the tg68k cpu core we use. This means that one pretty important part of the 68020 has been fixed.
The extent of improvement is not clear to me. But it seems this has fixed quite a lot of software. Have fun! And thanks to MikeJ from FPGA arcade for bugging me to fix these."
