Amiga Games Inc. no longer distributing classic Amiga Games (Update)
Since September 2012 Amiga Inc. and later on Amiga Games Inc. have been distributing classic Amiga games in
Blackberrys App Store. At the start of the project, "more then 300 titles" were promised, plans to support various mobile platforms were announced.
By now, all Amiga titles have been removed from the App Store: just a few days ago, there were still several dozen games available - this was initially reduced to Impossamole being for sale, in the mentime this game has been removed aswell, the vendor "Amiga" is not listed anymore.
The reason for this change is currently unknown, though the timing - right at the beginning of a new month - might be an indication that Amiga has to fullfull contractual obligations. Back in February, Michael Battilana from Cloanto had revealed that Amiga Inc. do no longer own any rights to Kickstart or Workbench and that they had to obtain a license from Cloanto for their activities on the Blackberry platform.
Update: (02.04.2015, 19:45, cg)
In the meantime, the last remaining game has been removed from the shop, the vendor "Amiga" is not listed anymore. (cg) (Translation: cg)

Hollywood / Cubic IDE: hw4cubic 6.0
Andreas Falkenhahn wrote: Michael "Clyde Radcliffe" Jurisch's Hollywood add-on for Cubic IDE has been updated to support the full Hollywood 6.0 command set now. Furthermore, there have been some bug fixes and optimizations.
The hw4cubic plugin allows you to use Cubic IDE as an IDE for Hollywood. The complete Hollywood command set is imported into Cubic IDE so you'll get syntax highlighting, quick command information, hotkey links to the documentation for command under cursor, function list, direct access to the compiler, auto complete and intellisense functionality and much more.
In addition, a Hollywood 6.0 wordfile for the popular Windows text editor UltraEdit is now also available for download on the official Hollywood portal. This wordfile allows you to conveniently edit Hollywood scripts on Windows using UltraEdit. All downloads are available from the official Hollywood portal.

Ralph Schmidt: Commercial distribution of Cyberstorm-ROMs inadmissible (update)
According to Ralph Schmidt in German comment on Amiga-News, he still owns the rights to the drivers, ROMs and utilities distributed by Phase 5 or DCE for their Amiga hardware. The company DCE never has been right holder of the software and therefore is not allowed to grant a licence for commercial sale.
Some years ago, he gave his permission to offer the software for download on phase5.a1k.org. He also agreed with the distribution on Aminet, where the drivers from now on are available as well.
With his comment, Schmidt responds to the press release of Pascal Papara, who on Tuesday announced the commercial distribution of the der ROMs in his App-Store IndieGo!. Yesterday Ralph Schmidt did express his view in an English-language forum but Papara held his view that DCE has exlcusive rights on it and therefore have a valid licence.
The archives available on phase5.a1k.org and Aminet only contains updates for the ROMs used in a Cyberstom PPC. They cannot be used as ROM-file for UAE. On request of Amiga-News, Ralph Schmidt clarified that he is not going to release full ROM-images.
Update: (26.03.2015, 18:30, cg)
Meanwhile Pascal Papara has confirmed, that he has stopped distributing the ROMs. Thus the ROMs that are required for the Cyberstorm emulation are not legally available. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4.1: Updates will be only available for Final Edition
In his AmiWest presentation, Steven Solie intimated it, now other AmigaOS 4 developers confirmed it: In future updates will be only available for the "Final Edition" of AmigaOS. Therefore changes are happening within the infrastructure.
According to Simon 'Rigo' Archer the only exception are critical updates applicable to older versions of AmigaOS 4.1. As Archer and Andy 'broadblues' Broad explained, "the development team is unable to upkeep multiple versions of the OS, and test all possible scenarios".

Emulation: Legal source of supply for Cyberstorm-ROM-file
If you are going to use AmigaOS 4.1 "Final Edition" with an emulator, that requires this PowerPC operating system, the Kickstart-ROM and the Workbench of AmigaOS 3.1 as well as the accelerator board ROM of the CyberStorm PPC.
If you do not own a Cyberstorm PPC, nevertheless you can use AmigaOS 4 legally in the emulation: In consultation with the rightholder, DCE, the ROM-file can be purchased in the IndieGO!-Appstore for the symbolic price of EUR 1. On request, Pascal Papara will bear the costs for purchasers of the computer AresOne as well as of the distributions AEROS R3 and Aminux (USB-Stick version).

GUI-Toolkit for Hollywood: First demo version of cross-platform HGui
HGui is a GUI-system developed with Hollywood, which in contrast to the Amiga-specific MUI Royale would be available for all platforms supported by Hollywood. The development has been almost finished, a first demo now is available (download site).
According to the author Fabio "Allanon" Falcucci, he thinks about a commercial release. Therefore he has released this demo to get some feedback on this question. If he will get sufficient financial support, Falcucci will write tutorials and a "comprehensive developer guide".
Two different releases are planned: As applet and as source code, both versions would include tutorials and developer guide. The current level of development the author has described as "usable and stable". He needs to "complete some planned features and a couple of missing classes".
The features of his GUI-Toolkits:
General features
- Object Oriented Programming
- Flexible and multi-layered skin system
- Easy of use
- Fast
- Scalable (tuning the cache system and the theme)
- Since HGui does not depend on any system specific command/library all developed projects can be compiled for any system supported by Hollywood, your GUIs will be the same on every platform, exactly the same.
Windows system
- Each window you create supports the following events:
- OnClose
- OnMove
- OnActivate
- OnDeactivate
- OnHide
- OnShow
- OnSize
- User definable minimum and maximum sizes
- Automatic control of the window's order
- Methods to control/edit on the fly the created windows
- Various background type supported
- Special windows to build up quickly progress indicator and/or messages for long operations.
- Window's menu (not the ones available with Hollywood but a custom one that allow you to include any gadget type into it.
- Functions to find window objects by name, by Hollywood ID, and to check if a window exists or not.
- Ability to attach hotkeys to any window to execute specific tasks when a keypress occurs.
Gadgets system
- Supported gadget classes
- Box
- Vertical Divider
- Horizontal Divider
- Label
- Group (Generic, Radio, Check)
- Button
- Switch
- Scrollbar (Vertical/Horizontal)
- Slider (Vertical/Horizontal)
- ProgressBar
- Knob
- Text (for user input)
- ListView
- TreeView
- DropDown
- Image
- Virtual Area
- Planned gadget classes
- Ability to switch the cache system on or off
- On: each gadget state will be cached, faster but more memory required
- Off: each gadget state will be rendered directly, slower but with a lower memory footprint.
- Each gadget can be skinned individually
- Each gadget class can be skinned globally
- Support for icons inside gadgets with custom alignment and text adjustment
- Flying tips for some gadgets
- Sounds on some actions (OnOver, OnOut, OnPushed, OnDown)
- Supported actions:
- OnPushed
- OnDown
- OnOver
- OnOut
- OnDrop
- OnDropOut
- Some classes can have additional actions
- Functions to search buttons by their names
- Methods to control and modify on the fly existing gadgets
- Gadgets drag and drop (planned)
- Ability to attach a right-mouse action or a pop up menu (planned)
Layout system
- Gadgets can be arranged using the MUI concept, you define some gadgets that will be grouped inside another gadget, this way your GUI is represented by a tree where the tree root is a special gadget called 'rootGadget' already created for you when a window is created.
- Supported layout are:
- When you define child gadgets you can define the following properties:
- Gadget weights (percentual variable, percentual fixed, pixel variable, pixel fixed)
- Borders (top, bottom, left, right) from the father gadget
- Gap between childs in pixel
What's missing/needs more love
- Some little glitches to be fixed
- Keyboard navigation system
- Gadget's hotkeys
- Gadget's drag & drop
- ListView/TreeView column resize using the mouse
- Tabs class
- Spin class
- Documentation
- Tutorials
- Global theme management functions are not completed
- Support for XML Gui definition

App Store: Update of indieGO!-client for all systems
The Hollywood-based client for Pascal Papara's App Store "indieGO!" has been updated (screenshot). It is divided into two parts: The App Store-Browser and the download manager. Using the download manager it is possible to pause downloads and continiue them after several days.
The client now works with screen solutions less than 800x600 pixels (z.B. EEEPC701) and much faster as well. According to Papara currently there is much debug output, so this can be still improved. The speed of the download manager was doubled.
The detailed changes:
- Refactoring and optimization of the libServer module
- Submit Bug Report : now reports if there was error submitting the reports
- Change Mail Address : FIXED a bug that was not accepting the user's input
- Many optimization a faster response in many time-critical sections
This option can be disabled with the preference -> speedboost = 0
- Added preference switch
- Added pointer behaviours (busy mouse pointer for long operations)
- Added the possibility to close the category requester with the ESC key
- Font size reduced automatically in app name and app description if needed
to let it fit in its available space. (magorium)
- Now categories and items difference is more evident thanks to an overlay
image on the category icons (see picture). (magorium)
- Now the AppStore recognize if a previous session has not closed properly
and ask to the user if he wish to submit a bug report with the previous
session's log file, no additional informations from the user are required. (magorium)
- Speed up of the app details window opening
- download speed is now twice as fast
Until now developers of commercial applications have had to pay a store fee of ten percent of the selling price. Developers who have registered after March 1st 2015 have to pay twelve percent. The ten most "successful" developers - including developers of Freeware software - monthly will earn a gift coupon of 10 Euro.

Crowdfunding: US-American celebration for Amiga 30th anniversary via Kickstarter
On the occasion of Amiga 30th anniversary - on July 23rd 1985 it was presented for the first time - in Computer History Museum in Mountain View (California) a big party will take place.
It is planned: a panel discussion with former Amiga developers Dale Luck, RJ Mical, Dave Needle and Carl Sassenrath; a banquet with feature speakers Colin Proudfoot (ex Commodore UK), Mike Battilana (Cloanto) and Trevor Dickinson (A-EON) as well as the presentation of a new, longer trailer of Viva Amiga. Additionally there will be a little exhibition of Amiga-"artefacts", presenting the original Amiga prototype and all the following Amiga models.
In order to finance the event, the organizers are going to collect 20.000 US-Dollar via Kickstarter. If you want to support the project, you can choose between nine different payments: starting with 10 USD (the donator will be mentioned on the website and during the event) and ending with 5.000 USD (complete VIP-programm, diverse merchandising products as well as an AmigaOne X1000).

Universal music hijacks Youtube videos of Bjørn Lynne
The musician Bjørn Lynne, well-known from the demo scene, is in trouble with the Universal Music Group (UMG): The company claimed to Youtube to possess the rights to two songs of Lynne - actually UMG has the rights to an audiobook that uses Lynne's music track "Kingdom of the Persians" as background music.
Universal forced Youtube monetizing the songs: They've hijacked the ads on the original video. In the linked article on TorrentFreak, Lynne desribed how he managed to get back the rights to his music.

"Guide to Amiga Compatible Programming" as Markdown-/HTML-document
The "Amiga Compatible Programming Guide" written by Gianfranco "ShInKurO" Gignina (e.g. NoWinEd) is an introduction to the development of cross-platform Amiga applications focused on the development of graphical user-interfaces with MUI.
So far the guide has been available as text files without special formatting and was now converted to Markdown. Therefore it is now possible to read the guide with a Markdown Reader or to convert it to different format, e.g. HTML and PDF. A HTML-version already has been created for free download.
