Cloanto: Amiga Forever 2013 (2nd Update)
The complete emulation package Amiga Forever has been updated to version 2013 today - as usual there are three different versions. New features in Amiga Forever 2013:
  • All Windows versions now come with a Windows Installer download (no need to burn or mount an ISO image to access the installer, or to wait for postal delivery)
  • New Build Image feature (Tools menu of Plus Edition), to create personalized ISO images (burn to CD or DVD) and portable environments (e.g. to run from USB storage). This is similar to the "old" Amiga Forever media, except that the content can now be updated and customized
  • Support for third-party "RP-Image" templates, to generate bootable content, etc. Documentation is available
  • New Restore System Files feature (Tools menu) to reset shared components (Amiga ROM and OS files, system RP9s, etc.)
  • New RP9 thumbnail provider for Windows is pure eye candy. This accompanies new and faster Open, Edit and Convert to RP9 commands accessible directly from File Explorer, to offer a better content experience outside the player
  • New visual Screen Clip Editor, for easy adjustment of Amiga screen mode settings
  • WinFellow is now available as an additional RetroPlatform-enabled emulation plugin. You can click any compatible title and select "Play with/WinFellow", or select plugin priority and additional options in the Amiga Forever Emulation settings
  • Updated AROS and other content
  • Enhanced RP9 Editor, with new media mount options and dozens of new features
  • Integration with social networks for "Now Playing" updates, manual posts and screenshot uploads
Further information for upgraders can be found in the Knowledge Base.

Update: (17:44, 10.05.13, snx)
As Cloanto has announced meanwhile, customers who purchased the previous version on or after March 1st, 2013, are being e-mailed instructions to receive a free upgrade. An extra five dollar/euro upgrade discount coupon is being e-mailed to registered customers.

2nd Update: (19:26, 11.05.13, snx)
To clarify on the discount, it is on top of the reduced upgrade price. So, if the regular price for the Plus Edition is 29.95, and the regular upgrade 20.00, with the coupon (5.05 off) it's 14.95 for a limited time.

Below you will find the official press release that has been published meanwhile:

Cloanto Releases Amiga Forever and C64 Forever 2013

May 10, 2013 - Cloanto released today Amiga Forever 2013 and C64 Forever 2013, the latest versions of the award-winning Commodore-Amiga preservation, emulation and support suites for Windows.

The 2013 editions for Windows had a focus on making the software easier to use, while providing new and more powerful features for advanced users and content creators. For example, the packages are easier to download and install, and emulated systems can be "repaired" with one click after unintended changes. Power users can now build ISO images and portable USB drive environments, use the visual Screen Clip Editor to better blend old screen modes into modern systems, or experiment with the new WinFellow emulation plugin or with a fresh build of the AROS Research OS. Outside the player, the RP9 thumbnail handler adds a new level of eye candy to File Explorer.

"One of the most fascinating challenges of user interface design has to be how to please both novice and sophisticated users. The attempt to keep things as simple as possible often limits learning and can be perceived as a 'dumbing down' by a more demanding audience," noted Cloanto's Mike Battilana.

"Even looking at recent versions of Windows, Mac OS and Linux, you can feel the pain of some choices. In today's search engines, queries that used to work reliably have become less precise. Word processors won't let you select the exact characters you want. Lacking perfect artificial intelligence, we are increasingly being autocorrected beyond recognition.

C64 Forever brings us back to an era in which users knew that they were, or could be, in complete control of the machine, rather than vice versa. Tens of millions of home computers came with a powerful reminder of this, as they included a programming manual. Even today, the Amiga continues to inspire for how it elegantly met the needs of different audiences, leaving a feeling of freedom rather than one of artificial limitations. In addition to preserving access to a digital culture of tens of thousands of games, demoscene creations and other titles, we are trying to introduce new generations to these different angles, as we are convinced that this deeper perspective can help achieve a better view of the future too."

In Amiga Forever and C64 Forever 2013, the same interface transparently connects to three different emulation engines, giving consistent access to more than 25 computer models, all with fully licensed operating systems. The shared RP9 file format makes titles easily portable across computers and software versions. While novice users only need to press Play, advanced users can Edit titles and browse through options that are designed to also help understand how the software works.

Amiga Forever 2013 is available now in three editions:
  • Value Edition (downloadable installer)
  • Plus Edition (downloadable installer with option to build DVD ISO image)
  • Premium Edition (downloadable Plus Edition plus boxed software and additional videos on 3 DVDs)
C64 Forever 2013 is available now in three editions:
  • Free Express Edition (feature-limited version)
  • Downloadable Plus Edition (downloadable installer with option to build CD ISO image)
  • Boxed Plus Edition (downloadable Plus Edition plus boxed CD)
Amiga Forever and C64 Forever passed official Windows 8 logo tests on both x86 and x64 systems. Prices for both Amiga Forever and C64 Forever start from $9.95 (special upgrade offers). Registered customers who purchased a previous version of the software on or after March 1, 2013 are being sent instructions to download a free update. (snx)

Pencil and paper game: Cropky
Cropky is an Amiga version of Dots - an abstract strategy game played by two people on a sheet of squared paper.

The rules are a bit different from original Dots game - your aim is not to capture enemy dots but to link two dots together with a line drawn in any direction you want as long as you don't cross already existing lines or you have to draw another line (the dot is visible not farther than one square distance - vertically, horizontally or diagonally).

Cropky is a conversion of a game under the same title for Atari XL/XE. The original idea comes from Krzysztof 'Kaz' Ziembik who was persuaded to give permission to create Amiga version by Mariusz 'Ramos' Rozwadowski. With the abilities and knowledge of Adam Stach (programmer), Piotr 'Piesiu' Radecki (graphics) and Piotr 'Pece' Cieślik (music) they created a game running on any Amiga with at least 1 MB of RAM. The game can be downloaded as ADF file or LHA archive. The manual so far is Polish only. (snx)

Indivision AGA Mk2: Config Tool 1.1, Core 2.6
Individual Computers has released an update for the configuration tool of the scandoubler Indivision AGA Mk2. With this update it is now possible to save complete configurations and to switch back to the last saved configuration with the Undo-function.

Additionally a software update of the "core" of the scandoubler was released which fixes some bugs:
  • Counters for upper and lower padding areas have been corrected: The number of lines on the output side is now correct, even if black borders need to be added at the top and bottom.
  • if the output side has reached the end of pixel data in memory, it has ended the line prematurely. This lead to an unexpected increase of output frequencies. These new cores now insert black pixels until the user-set number of output pixels is reached. In other words: Even if you enter an insanely large output window that the Amiga does not output, the frequency that the config tool displays will be met.
  • the blue colour component was shifted to the right - fixed in this core.
  • the lower 4 bits of the green colour component was taken from the neighbouring pixel, which is also fixed in V2.6.
  • the critical path of pixel data going into and out of the memory chip has been shortened: The flickering vertical red line does not appear any more.
  • some power settings of the FPGA were way too high. These have been reduced to the required minimum, so the FPGA does not crash any more when higher pixel clocks are being used.
  • the two rightmost pixels of the screen were not displayed at all, which is corrected in V2.6. If you still see a vertical red line at the right border, then this is an indicator that you are trying to view a part of the screen that is already way outside the overscan area. Although the Amiga does not output this line the way that Indivision dosplays it, we will NOT fix this. Instead, you should set the output window size to a sane amount of pixels that comes halfway close to what the Amiga is generating. Another way of fixing that red line is to use the tool Borderblank: This will also get rid of the red line.

AmigaOS 4: StormC5-Editor available
Press release: Wehrheim, Germany, May 5th, 2013. - We are glad to present the first component of the StormC5 IDE, StormC5ED. In the tradition of the previous versions, we placed high values in the development of StormC5ED ensuring the popular Amiga look-and-feel. We set high prorities on high speed and modern editor functionalities. Due to the intensive use of operating system functions of AmigaOS 4.1, StormC5ED is available exclusively for the new Amiga operating system and will be further aligned it in the future. We would like to point out that much of the Proceeds of the StormC5 editor will be incorporated in the future development of the StormC5 environment.

Join now, in a new kind of editing on AmigaOS 4.x!

StormC5ED is available via download or CD. The download version costs only 29,95 Euro and the CD version 34,95 Euro. Order at once from our Online-Shop.

The following outstanding capabilities are offered by the new StormC5ED:

Amiga-Look-and-Feel:
All keyboard shortcuts correspond to the AmigaOS specifications, toolbar images are supported, tooltips, etc.

AppWindow/AppIcon support:
Dragging a file icon in an editor window or on the editor appicon will open that file.

Extreme fast syntax highlighing:
Lightning fast syntax highlighting, Recognized words can be highlighted with colour and/or font attributes.

File classes:
The driver for the syntax highlightning are applied as external modules. As a result, the editor is extensible for future tasks.

File classes do currently exist for the following languages:
  • C/C++ (minimum requirement SDK 53.20),
  • Catalog-Descriptions (for use with CatComp),
  • AmigaGuide(R),
  • ARexx
Definitionbar:
For recognized words the relevant definition/Quick-Help is displayed.

Bookmarks:
In a document an umlimited number of bookmarks can be set and jumped to with a keyboard shortcut.

Folding parts of a document via definable fold marks: For example, so in C/C++ files, the method bodies are folded away for clarity and better readability of the code.

MDI- or TDI-Userinterface:
Texts can be displayed either in a separate window for each text (MDI - multiple document interface) or all together in a single window with Tab control (TDI - Tabbed Document Interface).

Automatic indentation (atm. only for C/C++):
On typing of a character that initiates or terminates a block, the editor can react with different variations to increase or reduce the indentation ("keep your source code clean and tidy").

Visualization of tabulators, spaces and linefeeds:
Optional displaying of these characters to find missing tabs in a "makefile", for example.

The GUI of the editor is available in 7 languages:
In the basic package, the StormC5Ed interface has already been translated into 7 languages: German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Danish and Russian are currently available. Other languages will follow.

AmigaOS 4: AttachMail 1.4/FastCompress 1.7/FastView 1.1/NetDock 50.5/SysMon 3.1
Guillaume 'zzd10h' Boesel has updated five of his AmigaOS-4-programms AttachMail, FastCompress, FastView, NetDock and SysMon.
  • With AttachMail you can add files to your favorite mailer by Contextual Menu (RightMouse button), (YAM and SimpleMail). In version 1.4 the the PNG icons were changed to Amiga Icons
  • FastCompress includes 4 tools to compress files and drawers with 2 clicks (LHA, LZX, ZIP, 7z). With version 1.7 the PNG-Icon-module is not required any longer as well. Additionally AmigaOS 4.1.3 is not required any longer since the availability of the AboutBox.mcc is checked
  • FastView is a MUI program who allows you to show your pictures by selecting files or drawer with right mouse button or by drag'n drop. Additionally to the two changes mentioned above, the speed was improved and a search area was added.
  • NetDock is a docky to monitor the network activity which also does not use PNG-Icons any longer
  • SysMon is a MUI-based (little) system monitor. The Ragemem benchmark was reworked and a lot of Amiga configurations (for comparison) were added
