Personal Paint: Update to version 7.3c for registered customers (Update)
For registered customers of version 7.3 of the 8-bit paint program Personal Paint, originally developed by Cloanto, A-EON Technology will release a free update named PPaint 7.3c for AmigaOS 3.x and AmigaOS 4 soon, written by Andy Broad.

Changes:
  • Add polygon mode to grab brush tool
  • Update Itialian translation (contributed Luca Longone)
  • Fix long filename support
  • Fix buffer overflows in brush scaling
  • Fix buffer overflows in brush shearing
  • Extend internal brush structure to include shear status values so that when shearing brush twice in a row is starts from the current sheared state and not the original brush state
  • Fix incorrect calculation of visble files in builtin requester resulting in an occasional corrupt looking filename at end of file list. (personal_req.library 1.6)
Update: (21:45, 12.02.19, snx)
As AmigaKit clarified meanwhile, the release of PPaint 7.3c is not imminent since the update is still being betatested for now. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Legal dispute: Amiga Inc. transferred rights to company of Mike Battilana
In the legal dispute between the Amiga and parties and Cloanto, recently Hyperion doubted the legality of Cloanto's involvement. According to the latest court documents (PDF file), on February 1, 2019, Amiga Inc. transferred "all worldwide rights, title and interest in and to all AMIGA-formative trademarks, including but not limited to the "Exclusive Licensed Marks" as that term is defined in the 2009 "Settlement Agreement", and the "Boing Ball" design mark" to C-A Acquisition Corporation" which with its only director Mike Battilana has the same owner as Cloanto.

For several years Cloanto has collected the heritage of Commodore (amiga-news.de reported) in order - according to Cloanto - to preserve it. To the the "Exclusive Licensed Marks" also belong the trademarks "AmigaOS", "Amiga OS", "AmigaOne" and "Amiga One".

Therefore Cloanto will apply for admission of C-A Acquisition Corporation as another plaintiff. Besides, Cloanto as sucessor of Amiga Inc. again reasserted to have the right to sue Hyperion for breach of contract. The former transfer of the copyrights from Amiga Inc. to Cloanto again is documented in court (PDF files: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5).


Furthermore Hyperion tries to prove some of the claims of the Amiga parties and Cloanto as void because they interfere into other countries' jurisdiction. This is countered by the statement that Hyperion explicitly got the worldwide license rights and therefore is internationally bound to respect the settlement agreement - which would have been broken by the attempt to register Amiga related trademarks in other countries.

AROS: Current status of Michal Schulz' Raspberry-Pi port / 68k-JIT-Emulator
Michal Schulz wrote: "I have synced my local repository with all the changes I did so far, with the main SVN tree".

Before he will solve some problems with USB, he is going to write a 68k-JIT emulator for ARM processors. Although, he thinks, there are plenty of them, "they are either slow interpreters written eons ago as a proof of concept, or GPL licensed". (snx) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: ignition beta version 6 available
Achim Pankalla wrote: The beta version 6 of the spread-sheet "ignitionOS4" is available on the SourceForge website. For more than ten years ignition has been open source and this is the fifth version of the AmigaOS-4-port within five years. ignitionOS4 was constantly improved which was only possible thanks to the feedback of the users. Thank you very much.

I also want to thank all the beta testers and other people who supported me!

In beta version 6 not only bugs were fixed but also some minor features added, e.g. new functions and implementing missing features. Changes:
  • New functions
  • Scrolling with the mouse-wheel is supported both vertically, and horizontally
  • Reworked and fixed dialogs
  • Fixed and expanded database functions
  • Internal arexx-scripts can now be saved and reloaded
  • Reworked and fixed csv.io modul
  • Fixed gtdrag.library
  • Over twenty other errors are fixed
  • Reworked manuals in German and English
This does not look like much work but is another big step of improving igntionOS4. You can get more information at the OS4Welt ignition forum - there you can also give me feedback. But of course you can also send me a mail. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Elfie - The Unicorn: Easy-peasy edition
Christian Giesing's "Elfie - The Unicorn" is a jump-and-run game which the author has written for his daughters using Backbone (amiga-news.de reported). Since for some of the kids the game was still too difficult, an additional version with the following changes has been released:
  • removed jump traps
  • defused difficult jumps
  • inserted "infinite" (50) lives
Little technical news:
  • runs on Amiga 500/600 7 Mhz with Kick 2.04 and 1MB chip (but 14 Mhz are recommended)
  • Fast RAM detection (from 2 MB Fast RAM onwards, the data is cached into the fast Fast RAM - disk recharging times during playing are therefore no longer necessary
  • Gamepad support added eg. CD32 Gamepad (yellow shoot, blue jump)
