Hollywood essentials: Libraries for Hollywood developers
The "Hollywood essentials" are five libraries written by Fabio Falcucci which are supposed to provide useful functions for Hollywood developers.

The libraries in detail:
  • HELPERS Library: A collection of functions to speed up common and repetitive tasks
  • EASING Library: The easing library can be used to achieve smooth transitions between values. With it you can animate objects, fade colors and change values smoothly using one of the provided 41 transition functions.
  • TABLES Library: This library exposes common functions to manipulate and convert tables
  • DEBUG Library: With this library you can easily manage debug output to the console or to a log file. The console log system allow you to define channels and message types you can easily filter during the debug of your programs.
  • FILESYSTEM Library: This library exposes common functions to manipulate files and check the file system.

A-EON buys Personal Paint, full version removed from Aminet (2nd Update)
In a joint press release, A-EON and Cloanto announce that A-EON will exclusively develop and distribute all future versions of Cloanto's paint program Personal Paint. PPaint 7.3 for AmigaOS 3 and 4 is currently available through Amistore, the press release also mentions potential ports to AROS and MorphOS. Cloanto will continue to distribute version 7.2 with Amiga Forever.

At the request of the copyright holders, the full version of Personal Paint, which had been released on Aminet 17 years ago, has been removed from the archive yesterday. Approached by Amiga-News, Trevor Dickinson from A-EON states that they "plan to offer free downloads of historical Classic versions in the future".

Update: (28.11.2014, 19:10, cg)

While at least one administrator of an Aminet mirror who hadn't removed the file yet, has apparently been contacted individually in the meantime, A-EON has now created a download page for the old Personal Paint 7.1c at ppaint.amistore.net.

2nd Update: (30.11.14, 09:22, snx)
Also at Cloanto version 7.1c of PPaint can be downloaded. (cg) (Translation: cg)

  • pci.library 9.10: New software improves timings of the PCI busmaster cards (Spider, SB4.1, SB128, FM801, TV tuner, FastEthernet) during their acesses to the DMA buffers located in the SDRAM/SGRAM memory of the PCI gfx card.
  • pci.library 9.10: should solve issues of same SB128 cards in the Radeon based configurations.
  • MedConfig 2.0: support for RadeonMemOS, VoodooMemOS and SpiderBuf variables has been added. New RadeonMemOS and VoodooMemOS variables allow to control the function which adds a part of gfx card SDRAM/SGRAM memory to the Amiga system memory.
  • Radeon.card 2.20, Voodoo.card 4.34: support for RadeonMemOS/VoodooMemOS variables

AmigaOS 4: Fractal generator Fractals For SketchBlock 1.5
Andy Broad has released version 1.5 of his commercial fractal generator plugin for Sketchblock. Changes in this update:
  • Themeing: if SketchBlock Lite has been purchased from AmiStore, Fractals For SketchBlock will adopt the current theme
  • Smoothing: Iteration based colouring modes can now be smoothed, given even transition between colours
  • Repeating Palette Mode: This new colouring mode uses one colour from the palette for each iteration step, giving greater control by allowing the user to create there own colour transitions. Works best with longer palettes with gradual colour changes (unless you want a stripey look :-)
Users who have already purchased a previous version can download the update for free from the website or the Amistore. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AROS: AEROS beta version 8 for Raspberry Pi (free version)
Pascal Papara's Linux-based AROS-distribution AEROS for the small computer Raspberry Pi now is available as public beta version 8 (video). Registered users can download the new version under the title link. As usual the free version does not include the lx-command for launching Linux-programms from the Shell or the Wanderer and is available in the indieGO!-Appstore.

Changes:
  • Better compatibility with different SD-cards (8 GB or more is required)
  • Supports now Raspberry Pi model B+ and A
  • Changed theme for Linux app to one with less hunger for ressources
  • Epiphany webbrowser with HW-accelerated HTML5 (YouTube is working, HTML5 games as well)
  • Latest Debian Wheezy system files
  • Enabled AROS network stack at boot so games and software requiring this will work now (for example Abuse)
  • Removed old unnecessary stuff
Pascal Papara has changed his Ebay offer for the new Raspberry-Pi models. He ships MicroSD-cards with adapters for the old models.

If there are any problems concerning the speed of downloads from his Appstore, he recommends to edit the chunk size in the file "app-dlm.prefs" using a text editor. Instead of using the default setting of 64, the figures 128, 256, 512 and so on can be checked out. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Meta compiler: PortablE r6-14-07-2013b (beta)
An update for PortablE has been released which is a fix for the latest Software Development Kit (SDK) of AmigaOS 4.1. Most likely AmiDevCpp will not compile programms for AmigaOS 4 until this compiler is also adapated to the new SDK.

Christopher Handley's meta compiler PortablE is an enhancement for the programming language Amiga E and translate it into other ones with "the aim of being portable across many platforms."

In this release 6, graphics, sound, music & GUI modules have been added. Additionally there is a PortablE-forum. First of all PortablE supports AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and AROS, partly AmigaOS 3.x and rudimentarily Windows. (snx) (Translation: dr)

  • Addmem command allows you to configure non autoconfig friendly ram expansions
  • Icon.library has been updated to 46.4.399

App-Store: Amistore is online (update)
The App-store "Amistore" established by Amigakit obviously is online. A shop application which only runs under AmigaOS 4 (a version for AmigaOS 3 was announced) and according to the website is still a beta version can be downloaded. A web-interface for the store currently does not exist and as far as we know is not planned.



We would like to thank Andy "broadblues" Broad for the screenshots taken of shop. Broad has pointed out that not all items are already available but "soon".

Hint of the editorial staff: As far as we know the shop was written with Hollywood. If you launch the application a large number of pictures is loaded. Users with slower computers or low memory has reported long loading times.

Update: (11.11.2014, 16:45, cg)

According to reports of some customers, to the prices in the Amistore VAT and packaging and shipping costs must be added. Currently the final price for the product obviously will be only shown on the Paypal website after having purchased it. The amount of money which Paypal lists as packaging and shipping costs seems to be the Amistore fee. The pure purchase price will get the author of the product. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Miniature model: Amiga 1000 as 3D-print
Since yesterday the shop Etsy has offered the miniature model of an Amiga 1000 with monitor, keyboard and mouse in two different versions. Version one shows the screen of the Workbench, version two shows Deluxe Paint with the well-known motive from Sandro Botticelli's painting "The Birth of Venus".

The Amiga is only slightly larger than a coin and is produced with the 3D printing technology. (snx) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition for ACube-hardware with limited Radeon HD-driver
The SAM4x0-version of the Final Edition of AmigaOS 4.1 will not include a RadeonHD-driver, because version 1.x of the driver is available for free only for X1000-customers. Many owners of a SAM have to purchase the driver.

In order to be able to launch the Final Edition on a SAM-motherboard equipped with a Radeon HD graphic board, A-EON and ACube have reached an agreement: A limited version of the driver will be included on the installation-CD.

The "RadeonHD Lite"-driver does not support compositing and is limited to a screen solution of 1024x768 but allows installing the operating system. Owners of ACube's hardware with Radeon HD graphic board later can install the commercial and full version of the driver. (cg) (Translation: dr)
