• Add basic support for \ at {system command with openurl command.
• Add colour theme management with new light and dark colour themes in addition to the default AmigaGuide compatible one.

• Added Mixer option to limit Recording resolution to 16bit. This is required for programs which do not work with larger recording resolutions (eg. HD-Rec and AE4)
• Added additional Tooltypes for the Docky to position the docky window manually

• Added a workaround for smb2_rmdir() not returning an error when trying to delete a non-empty directory.
• Added support for READONLY switch.
• If the reported f_blocks is larger than INT32_MAX statfs() will reduce it and compensate by making the block size larger (that way at least programs that use the id_NumBlocks, id_NumBlocksUsed and id_BytesPerBlock fields to calculate used and free percentages will report reasonable results).

• All display drivers for the Workbench now have a menu to start a Unix or an Amiga shell. The environment of these shells is specially adapted to AmiCygnix. Another menu item can be used to open a dialer to change the access rights to the X server (screenshot). These shells can also be started via the "System Tools" menu of the desktop panel.
• Until AmiCygnix 1.6 there were some dependencies to the SDK. The commands of the coreutils package needed by some shell scripts were not included in AmiCygnix. Especially the ROX-Filer was affected by this. These commands are now included and can be used in the shells.
• Due to a bug in Newlib the arguments of some shell commands were not read correctly. Especially the backslash "\" was affected. This has now been fixed.
• The AmiCygnix shell commands compiled with Newlib did not have wildcard support (resolution of "*" in filenames), unlike the AmigaOS 4 SDK versions. This has now been incorporated so that a Unix shell is no longer required for the affected shell commands.
• Now includes an AmiCygnix adapted version of the ABC shell called "acxsh" for better compatibility with AmiCygnix
• In the newly introduced directory "Prefs" is an adjustor for the treatment of the access rights on the X server. Important for calling external programs (remote start).
• A script named "Start_XServer_Only.bat" allows to start an X server without starting an application. This is mainly intended for starting external programs
• Update of the SSL/TLS layer "GnuTLS" to version 3.7.3; this fixes some problems with certificates.
• Updated the integrated root certificates for GnuTLS and OpenSSL.
• Now includes the new GTK+ default theme "Adwaita", which is now also the default theme for GTK+ 2 and GTK+ 3 programs.
• Support for GTK+ 3 programs was buggy; this bug has been fixed.
• Revised versions of the "myX11Setup" and "myX11SetupLight" setters.
• When using the window manager "dwm" (Dynamic Window Manager) introduced with AmiCygnix 1.5, no key combinations with ALT could be used. For key commands for "dwm" the left Amiga key is now used.
• The library "libaos4util" used in all AmiCygnix programs has been completely reworked and all programs have been linked to it again.
• The support of the old "threads.library" has been removed. This is no longer needed by any of the current programs.
• The printer tool "lpr" could crash; this has been fixed.
• The data for the time zones has been updated.
• With installed AmigaOS 4 SDK the commands of the SDK are preferred now with the environment variable "PATH" of the ABC Shell. Basically general environment variables are set at the start of AmiCygnix only if they are not present in ENVARC:.
• Many other bug fixes.

• All programs have been relinked with the revised version of the utility library "libaos4util".
• The browser "NetSurf" and the included command "curl" have been linked with the new version 3.7.3 of the SSL/TLS layer "GnuTLS". This should fix problems with certificates and SSL connections.

• Fix joystick GUID generation and update internal gamecontroller database with new GUIDs. Remove related RC1 workaround. Please use the SDL 2.26.1 RC2 (or newer) library when providing new controller mappings.
• Support SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN_DESKTOP flag. It's implemented as a custom screen (instead of WB).
• Refactor library init/quit routines: initialize thread subsystem using constructor.
• Refactor shared library management: open common libraries in constructor and close them in destructor.
• Require ogles2.library minimum version 2 (instead of 0).

• added icons from Carlo again which were accidently bad converted in V1.2
• corrected "Credits" in terms of the Amikit icon(s) ;-)
• the source folder and the save folder is now memorized when doing more than one picture to PDF
• added requester which asks if it is wanted to do more pictures to PDF
• added requester if the PDF file already exists (overwrite protection)
• on commandline/shell it is no longer neccesary to give the full path of the picture file
• its now checked if the PDF file to be saved ends with ".pdf"
• improved error message in case of invalid loaded picture/file
• added automatic closing of the viewer windows
• added Image2PDF as Hollywood Applet (at least Hollywood Player 9.1 has to be used)

Import and export of MIDI files (*.mid) has been integrated into the main programme. The 10 different mouse pointers in the editor have been firmly integrated into the main programme as new 32bit png images. These are now pointers of the same type as the system pointer, ... and much more ...

All available tools (102) and accessories (6) (the plugins of BarsnPipes) for which the source code has been released and whose use with the new version of the main programme makes sense have been integrated. Included in the archive, all available documentation and instructions.

For developers, the "New Rules for Tools" (instructions and all material for programming tools and accessories) have been adapted for MOS 3.17 (and higher). Also an SDK for tools and accessories by Michael Rees, which extends the "New Rules for Tools" and makes them more comfortable.

The "Rules for Skins" (instructions for designing your own surfaces for BarsnPipes), as well as the material for your own translations of the Locale catalogue files are also available for download.

BarsnPipes has thus reached a stage of development that essentially marks an end point. Every possible extension or improvement can be made using the tools or accessories."

• User-configurable disk formats: New option --diskdefs
• New disk formats: ensoniq.mirage and sci.prophet
• Fill missing/bad sectors with -=[BAD SECTOR]=- pattern

• Support for window mode.
• Finalizing of the FLC video player with auto-scaling. We do have a working version, but it's not good enough, so we postponed it to a later update.
• Complete the migration from audio.device to the ahi.device. Also, it kind of works already, but not well enough.
• Fixing hardware rendering to works on the older Warp3D classic drivers again (migration to the newer GCC required extensive rewriting, resulting in clumsy hardware mode on real Warp3D).
• to fix bugs that will be found in this update."
