Datatype: WarpPNG 45.14
Olver Roberts' WarpPNG-Datatype is available for AmigaOS 3/4, WarpOS and MorphOS. New in version 45.14:
- When ALPHA_MODE is set to KEEP:
- Expand palette-mapped images with more than one transparent colour to RGBA with full alpha
- Take note of any transparent entries set for RGB and greyscale images, and expand them to a full alpha channel
- Convert greyscale images with alpha channel to RGBA
- Ignore any background colour specified in the file, no longer compositing transparent images with it, preserving the alpha channel
- Fixed incorrect background colour when combining an alpha channel with images that use 16 bits per pixel
- No longer uses any floating point math, reducing overhead for all versions and speeding up gamma correction on all 68k versions
- Added workaround for a bug in OS4 which can cause a crash when a requester is opened (bug fixed in intuition.library 53.32)
- Integrated libpng 1.5.1
- Updated with zlib 1.2.5

DigiBoosterPro 3: Public betatesting
Press release After a long period of closed testing the DigiBooster 3 music tracker enters the public beta stage. The main goal of public betatesting is to check program core stability and performance on different operating systems and hardware configurations.
Demo versions of DigiBooster 3 for AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS are available for download on the official DigiBooster website at the title link.

The key features of the new DigiBooster 3 are:
- Fully scalable MUI graphic interface with themes
- New player engine, portable and AHI independent
- Backwards compatible with DigiBoosterPro 2.x (the same module format)
- PowerPC native versions for AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS
