Sprite/Icon/Map editor: Raster Master V2.0 R87 for Windows 10/11
Raster Master (amiga-news.de reported) is a sprite/icon/map editor for Windows 10/11 which generates RayLib-, PutImagedata and Map code for gcc, AmigaBASIC, Amiga C, Amiga Pascal, QuickBasic, QB64, Quick C, Turbo Pascal, freepascal, Turbo C, Turbo Basic, Power Basic, FreeBASIC, GWBASIC, BASICA, and PC-BASIC (YouTube video).
Now version 2.0 R87 has been released. Changes:
- Maps can now be 128x128 and 256x256 tiles
- when Paint tool is selected in Map Editor hold SHIFT key it will replace all instances of the Tile
- Discovered that onpaint events were being generated when the Labels for coordinates were being updated. This is probably a bug with LCL. This caused the program to repaint the pixels/map area when it was not required. Changed all instances in program to statusbar to update coordinate information. This may have caused performance issues with slower speed computers

Management of ADF files: adflib V0.8.0 for Windows, Linux and macOS
Laurent Clevy first released adflib in 1999 in version 0.7.8 (Aminet). The portable C library, written mainly in C, is used to manage Amiga-formatted devices such as hard disks and ZIP disks or to swap them out via the .ADF format. Besides Volker Schwaberow's approach to convert the library into the programming language Rust, the original library is now also being updated, currently maintained by Tomasz Wolak.
Reading files has been bug-fixed and writing them has been introduced as a new function. Changes in version 0.8.0:
- full file read and write support
- added support for hard- and soft links
- added Linux native devices
- updated and improved unadf
- added new command-line utilities:adf_floppy_create, adf_floppy_format, adf_show_metadata
- numerous bugfixes and improvements
- more extensive testing
- added configuration to build with CMake (ie. to facilitate building for Windows)
- added (unofficial) Debian and Ubuntu packaging

Demoparty: Posadas 2023 (Spain)
From 30 June to 2 July, this year's edition of the Posadas demoparty will take place in Posadas, Spain. As the Spanish graphic designer José A. 'jojo073' Gonzáles tells us - the French magazine BOING interviewed him in its fifth issue and has now published this interview in Spanish - the demo party was first organised with numerous competitions in the 1990s and was brought back to life a few years ago after a long break. To get in the mood, he published a pixel artwork showing a character from a film, which the experienced film connoisseur will surely be able to identify without difficulty... (dr)
