AmigaOS 4: RadeonHD driver 1.0 RC1 (0.55)
A-EON Technology has released the first release candidate of version 1.0 of Hans de Ruiter's RadeonHD-driver for registered and new users. Changes:
- Fixed a bug that could cause minor graphics corruption that occurred on a few graphics cards when switching between GPU and CPU based rendering (f.e. the arrow buttons in Directory Opus 4)
- Forces the OS to wait for the GPU to be idle before a soft reboot so that some Radeon HD 5xxx cards don't lock up if the soft-reboot occurs while they're still busy (requiring a hard reset)
- Re-enabled using timer device for longish delays when switching screenmodes (no busy waiting means more CPU time for other tasks). Added a workaround so that this doesn't prevent soft reboots
- In addition, there have also been minor miscellaneous fixes

MorphOS: Reggae 3.1.7
An update for Grzegorz 'Krashan' Kraszewski's multimedia framework Reggae is now available. The key features of this update are two new classes. The first, clipboard.stream, provides read access to the system clipboard for the rest of Reggae, thus media files can be now automatically decoded from the clipboard.
The second class, gapless.filter, is a base building block for audio players featuring gapless playback. The first, very simple, shell based player using this feature will be released this week. Three other classes, file.output, audio.output and the base multimedia.class have been also updated with improvements and bugfixes. Users speaking Swedish or Turkish will also get some locale files.
All new features are documented in updated compiler headers and autodocs. The package can be automatically installed with Grunch or downloaded from the title link. In both cases the MorphOS SDK is updated automatically if detected. (snx)

AmigaOS 4: Gimp 2.6.11 for AmiCygnix
For his AmiCygnix-port of the picture editing program Gimp, Edgar Schwan has released an update (screenshot).
Due to the size of the data, most of the plugins are available as separate packages. Among others this applies to two packages for loading and saving files. The first of this package is optional. All formats included in this package can be loaded with internal plugins. You can get further informationen in the readme-file.
Changes:
- New version 2.6.11 with many improvements, for example the new GEGL graphics system.
- The internal loaders were enhanced and two new formats were added. While saving in JPEG, PNG or TIFF format you can choose now the compression rate.
- Some of the Script-Fu scripts are now available as python plug-ins.
- Compiled with GTK+ 2.24.
- New version 2.7.2 of the Python package for Gimp python plug-ins.
- Keyboard layouts that do not conform to ISO-8859-1 standard (eg Polish or Greek keyboards) are now better supported.
- Support for dead keys. For a complete support of dead keys, the installation of AmiCygnix 1.3 (or better) is mandatory!
