Hyperion Entertainment: Update to AmigaOS 3.1.4 released
Press release: Brussels, July 8, 2019 - Hyperion Entertainment CVBA is pleased to announced the immediate availability of AmigaOS 3.1.4.1 as a free update to AmigaOS 3.1.4 released in September 2018.

Since then, some bugs were found and functionality reviewed. We are therefore providing updates that address those issues in order to improve the user experience and also added more workarounds to improve compatibility with some oddly behaving programs.

This is mainly a bugfix update to AmigaOS 3.1.4, however a few small features managed to slip-in:
  • Danish (dansk) and swedish (svenska) AmigaOS catalogs
  • Setpatch now has the ability to load both an audio.device and a Shell-Seg update by itself
  • Audio.device got improved compatibility with some non-standard programming practices
  • HDToolBox now suggests more adequate block sizes for large drives
  • CrossDOS is now more tolerant to wrongly configured mountlists and foreign character sets
Of course, we managed to address many more bug fixes. The change log is more than 260K large and covers components such as the CDFileSystem, the new intution support, audio device, disk support (Format, FastFileSystem and HDToolBox), the Shell, several AmigaDOS commands, DiskDoctor, and many more components.

AmigaOS 3.1.4.1 is available as free download from the restricted download area to all registered customers of AmigaOS 3.1.4.

Hyperion Entertainment CVBA wants to send kudos to all involved persons for making this update happen. Thanks guys! (snx)

Hyperion Entertainment: capital increase
According to an update published in Belgium's official company publication, Hyperion issued a significant number of new shares. As detailed in a notary's statement dated June 20th, 2019, when approving the annual financial statement dated December 30th, 2018 and exonerating the directors afterwards, the shareholders decided to go for a capital increase in return for stock.

This capital increase consists of 398.970 Euro, of which 397.110 Euro are from Ben Hermans and 1.860 Euro from Timothy De Groote. In return, the two investors are granted 2135 (Hermans) and 10 (De Groote) newly issued Hyperion shares, which reduces the percental ownership of the other shareholders accordingly: Hyperion's capital stock was raised from 18.600 Euro to 417.570 Euro - previously all shareholders combined, including Ben Hermans and Timothy De Groote, owned 100 shares, now there are 2245 shares of which Ben Hermans owns at least 2135.

Javascript: TAWS - The Amiga Workbench Simulation 0.31
TAWS ("The Amiga Workbench Simulation") is a Javascript simulation of the Amiga-Workbench 1.0 - 4.1 for Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Apple-WebKit-Browser (including Odyssey). Any kind of feedback the author Michael Rupp would very appreciate. His work can be supported by a donation from inside TAWS.


Changes of version 0.31:
  • Tribute to OS 3.1.4:
    • new preset "OS 3.1.4"
    • new iconset "3.1.4"
    • neues pattern "AmigaOS 3.1.4"
    • Workbench functionality like OS 3.5, f.e. keyboard control, live moving of window content using the scrollbars, closing all windows by clicking the close gadget while holding the right Amiga key (right Alt key in TAWS), etc.
    • simulation of 3.1.4 specific details , f.e. although windows can be moved out of the screen, their width cannot be larger than the screen width.
    • new kickstart image when cancelling the "TAWS Early Preset Selection"
    • adjusted "Amiga Early Startup Control"
    • adjusted "Boot With No Startup-Sequence"
  • Complete swedish localization - many thanks to Kenneth Hansson
  • MultiView: support for playling the following music module formats .mod (Sound-/Protracker), .xm (FastTracker II) and .s3m (ScreamTracker 3) thanks to the newly integrated JavaScript MOD player.
    Many many thanks to Jani Halme for his brilliant webaudio player: https://mod.haxor.fi
    It's even possible to play your local files, either by starting "MultiView" and selecting a file or by drag'n'dropping a file in an already opened MultiView window.
  • MultiView: support for displaying TIFF files in the following browser that support this natively: Internet Explorer, MS Edge and Safari. Where available, an according icon has been added to the iconsets and there's a new test image located at "Test Suite:Image-Test/Marbles.tif".
  • When decreasing the browser's window size it's now ensured that windows on the bottom and on the right side stay visible. They are now moved in a way that their title bars are visible in any case.
  • Amiga Early Startup Control: simulation of the flickering when changing from PAL to NTSC and vice versa incl. divergent version for OS 3.1.4 and 3.9.
  • Reworked the kickstart screen to be pixel exact.
  • MagicMenuPrefs: added "Settings / Slider Color Model / RGB/FSH" in the menu.
  • Bugfixes:
    • "Clean up" of a window now works correctly, even if its content has been scrolled to the left or the top using the arrow gadgets.
    • Fixed rounding differences when calculating the size of the scrollbar knobs. These showed when using the arrow gadgets to scroll.
    • OS version <= 3.1: show message in screenbar if trying to rename a left out icon.
    • OS version > 3.1: deactive menuitem "Rename" for left out icons.
    • Fixed the shortcuts in the windows "Parse AmigaGuide" and "Set alarm" (bug since v0.30).
    • Palette: fixed the shortcuts for "Red", "Green" and "Blue" after switching the color model from "HSB" and back to "RGB" (bug since v0.30).
    • Palette: the color wheel is again anchored to the top (bug since v0.30).
    • Prefs windows: on labels and button texts the browser's default pointer was shown instead of the Amiga pointer (bug since v0.30).
    • MultiView: fixed minimal window size according to the current wndow layout.
    • MultiView: loading a local file by running MultiView or using the its menuitem "Open" works again (bug since v0.30).
    • MultiView: loading of files having an apostrophe in their filename works now.
    • Parse Amiga Guide: button "Load local file..." works again (bug since v0.30).
    • Miscellanious fixes in the translations of menuitems and deviations for OS 4.x.

Remedios is the ultimate remedy against all of your iOS worries because it simplifies the creation of iOS apps to a great extent. In fact, it only takes a few mouse clicks to convert a Hollywood applet into an iOS app. Creating iOS applications has never been easier than with Remedios!

Remedios ships as an Xcode framework that can load and run Hollywood applets. It also comes with detailed instructions that will guide you through the process of converting Hollywood applets to iOS apps step by step - programming skills are not required. This allows even non-programmers to convert their Hollywood applets into stand-alone iOS apps, which can then be made available to other users, for example by uploading them to Apple's App Store.

Here are some more features of Remedios:
  • supports real iOS devices (arm, arm64)
  • supports Xcode's iOS simulators (x86, x64)
  • Hollywood plugins are fully supported
  • Hollywood plugins can be embedded in iOS apps
  • Hollywood scripts can call into custom native code written in Objective-C

AmigaOS 4: SketchBlock Pro 3.3
"SketchBlock is a powerful digital painting package for AmigaOS 4.1, offering smooth, responsive tools to create images in High Dynamic Range colour" developed by Andy Broad. Since version 3, SketchBlock has become a commercial software and can be purchased in the Amistore. For users of this version a free update is available.

Changes of version 3.3:
  • Dynamic loading of brush data: The full set of brushes can use up to 100 MB of memory when loaded on startup, so now brushes are loaded on demand
  • Add Erase filter: This allows eraseing selected areas of layers to the background colour/transparent; some standard menu items using this function
  • Textures: Drawing operations can now be modified by a texture. Any layer can be used as a texture, but a custom list of dedicated texture layers is also maintained. Some example textures cane be loaded via the new textures menu. Currently only the paint tool supports the texture operation, and this can be enabled via two new switches at the bottom of it's settings.
