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!

Scandoubler: Configuration tool for Indivision AGA Mk2
Almost a year after Individual Computer has started to deliver its scandoubler Indivision AGA Mk2, now a configuration tool is available which the users have eagerly awaited.
Jens Schönfeld from Individual Computers points out that it is an early beta version of the program. He asks any user to read the included "readme" carefully. The used example configuration "converts" each Amiga screen mode to a VESA-mode with about 60 Hz display refresh rate. It has been tested on a Dell monitor with a solution of 1280x1024 pixels.
For all screen modes, DVI as well as VGA are activated - if vertical stripes appear on the display, the DVI-signals have to be deactivated (for each single screen mode).

AmigaOS 4: Status-Update of Hyperion
In a blog of Hyperion Entertainment, Hans-Jörg Frieden has released a status update on the latest developments of AmigaOS 4.2:
- Exec SG : kernel development has been forked off into an experimental and stable branch, to facilitate field testing of potentially drastically new features such as the scheduler, separate address spaces, 64 bit address space awareness etc.
- The task scheduler was completely rewritten in C and now implements the long planned "pluggable" scheduler functionality : the scheduling algorithm can be changed on the fly, during runtime depending on factors like task's preference and CPU load, different CPU cores using different scheduling algorithms. The re-write of the scheduler also allows for load balancing which is required for proper multicore support.
- Work is in progress on yet another Power ISA implementation.
- Gallium : bumped to Mesa 9.1, i.e. OpenGL 3.1. Software renderer already implemented, work on hardware accelerated drivers within the framework of Gallium will benefit substantially by the experience gained developing Warp3D drivers for the AMD Radeon Evergreen range (Radeon HD 5xxx/6xxx).

Hollywood: JPEG 2000 plugin released
Press release: Airsoft Softwair has just released a new plugin for Hollywood 5: Infinity. This plugin enables all Hollywood scripts to load and save images in the JPEG 2000 format.
JPEG 2000 is the successor to the popular JPEG format and offers multiple advantages over its predecessor including lossless compression and the possibility to store images with alpha channels.
Additionally, when a JPEG 2000 plugin is available and you compile executables for Mac OS X, Hollywood will be able to create Mac OS X icons in the resolutions 256x256 and 512x512 as well because these images are encoded using JPEG 2000 bitstreams.
You can download the plugin from the official Hollywood portal. Thanks to Hollywood 5's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS 3.x, AmigaOS 3.x (FPU), AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS (Intel), Linux (PowerPC), Linux (Intel), Mac OS X (PowerPC), Mac OS X (Intel), Windows and Google's Android platform are provided.
