Hollywood: RapaGUI 1.1
Press release: Airsoft Softwair is proud to present version 1.1 of one of the most popular Hollywood plugins: RapaGUI. RapaGUI is a cross-platform GUI toolkit that allows the creation of native (!) GUIs for AmigaOS- (MUI), Windows-, Linux- (GTK) and Mac OS X-based systems! GUI layouts in RapaGUI are conveniently defined in XML files which are then converted into full-blown GUIs by RapaGUI on-the-fly. It just doesn't get any easier!

RapaGUI supports all the widgets you need to create modern GUI applications, including multi-column listviews, treeviews, tabbed page widgets, toolbars, status bars, text editor widgets, menu bars, HTML views and much more. The highlight of RapaGUI, however, is certainly its inbuilt Hollywood MOAI class. This class allows dynamic embedding of complete Hollywood displays into GUIs which can be used to combine Hollywood's powerful multimedia functionality with RapaGUI's GUI abilities into one powerful application.

RapaGUI 1.1 is a major update and contains the following new features:
  • Unicode support (requires Hollywood 7)
  • 64-bit support on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X (requires Hollywood 7)
  • Drag'n'drop support
  • Combobox class greatly enhanced
  • Lots of new functions for Choice class
  • Online help for the Windows IDE (requires Hollywood 7)
  • Support for high DPI monitors (requires Hollywood 7)
  • Several other smaller improvements and bug fixes
RapaGUI comes with almost 300 pages of documentation in various formats like PDF, HTML, AmigaGuide and CHM that describes the GUI programming basics in detail and provides a convenient MOAI function and class reference. A step-by-step tutorial that guides you to your first RapaGUI program is also included. On top of that, almost 20 example scripts are included in the distribution archive, including advanced scripts like a complete video player, which really show off the power of Hollywood and RapaGUI working together.

All this makes RapaGUI the ultimate cross-platform GUI toolkit, carefully crafted for you sailors of the seven GUI seas! Only RapaGUI allows rapid cross-platform GUI development on all islands - it is the ultimate fusion of all the different OS GUI toolkits into one MOAI face, carved in stone for eternity and beyond. RapaGUI is available free of charge and can be downloaded from the official Hollywood portal at hollywood-mal.com. Versions for AmigaOS 3.x, AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, AROS, Windows, Mac OS X and Linux are provided. AmigaOS users please do note that although RapaGUI is still compatible with MUI 3.8, it is highly recommended to install MUI 4.0 to use all of RapaGUI's features.

Trademark: Application of new "Commodore" refused
Two years ago, Italian Massimo Canigiani tried to have the mark "Commodore" registered in the European trademark registry using his UK based company "Commodore Business Machines Ltd.". Although the design of Canigiani's mark was pretty much identical to the famous original mark - which is still listed as active in the very same EU trademark registry - he hoped to get away with this by applying for registration in a different procduct area (smartphones). But this hope has been dashed: The owner of the original trademark successfully appealed against Canigiani's application last autumn. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Amiga Inc. loses US trademark, new registrations from Cloanto and Hyperion
For years, Amiga, Inc. has been losing registered trademarks (examples: 1, 2) since expiring registrations were not renewed in time - but so far, only duplicate registrations or less important marks ("powered by Amiga") had been affected. On December 31 the final deadline for extending the registration of the only remaining US "Amiga" trademark expired: for a short period of time, the term was not a registered mark in the United States.

It looks like Italian software developer Cloanto, who acquired most of the Amiga copyrights in 2012, has been following these developments closely: On January 2 - i.e. the first working day after Amiga, Inc's trademark expired - Cloanto applied for the "Amiga" trademark. The company already owns the registered US marks "Workbench" and "Amiga Forever".

It seems that Hyperion was not as alert: It took them until February to apply for their own marks. According to the information available so far, Hyperion did not try to dispute Cloanto's application for the "Amiga" mark, the Belgium company responsible for AmigaOS 4 applied for AmigaOS, BoingBall and AmigaOne. These trademarks, which had not or no longer been registered before, were originally licensed to Hyperion in the 2009 settlement agreement with Amiga, Inc. - apparently Hyperion's management operates under the assumption that Amiga, Inc. will be unable or uninterested in defending these marks after losing the more important "Amiga" mark.

After losing the US Amiga mark, the most important trademark registration still owned by Amiga, Inc. (list of US and European Amiga marks) is probably the registration of the "AMIGA" trademark with the European Intellectual Property Office, which expires in May 2018. This registration covers all of Europe, including countries like Germany or the UK - where the local "Amiga" registrations have already expired aswell.

Note from the editor: In all public trademark databases, Amiga, Inc's original Amiga trademark is still listed as active - trademark offices usually take several months to update their databases once a mark expires. But the entry in the US Patent and Trademark Office's database (search for serial number 73571532) features a section labeled "TSDR" which has a "Documents" tab containing a list of submitted documents - the most recent one is dated 2006 - and a "Maintainance" tab offering a pretty definite statement regarding missing documents.

Update: (18.04.2017, 15:00, cg)

Hyperion has not only applied for the "AmigaOne" mark, it is also trying to register the "AmigaOS" mark and the BoingBall. (cg) (Translation: cg)

Game Construction Kit: RedPill 0.5.0 (alpha)
RedPill is a Game Construction Kit written in AmiBlitz2, which can help developing games of diverse genres - published videos show versions of Pacman and Pang. RedPill is compatible to AGA and ECS, the "player" requires 1 MB Chip as well as some Fast RAM.

For the program currently there is only a closed Facebook group, but the authors also can be contacted via eMail. The latest alpha version can be downloaded via Google Drive.

Changes in version 0.5.0:
  • Main feature of this release is that now it uses advanced scrolling implementation. This will allow RedPill games to make use of larger maps in the future v0.5.x versions. It also allows RedPill to use less ChipRam. This could lead to some bugs that will be fixed in next versions. Look at ScrollingTrick in Aminet to know more about the implementation
  • Now multiple tile changes can happen in every frame
  • Object rendering has been changed too, BBlits are no longer used
  • Projects now have a target frame rate in the Game Setup screen: 50 fps, 25 fps, 17 fps, 12 fps. Default is 25 fps
  • Angular phyics have been redone with a more robust implementation. Shot type objects now can follow the same direction of the object Instantiating them
  • Collisions have been changed again to be more optimal and perfect.A side effect is that ramp collisions are lost in this version, they will be back soon
  • Frame offsets have been added: Now you can modify the display offset by frame
  • Grid slice has been optimized, now shapes are trimmed to its visible size
  • Animations are now changed once per frame and now everytime a PlayAnim trigger is triggered
  • Stop Anim trigger does not need a parameter anymore
  • Global air friction has been added
  • Friction now works as it should, 1 means full friction and 0 means no friction at all
  • Temp files that are stored on ram: when playing from editor now use a common name
  • Debug info removed from tile properties screen
  • File names in tileset menu and sprites menu are truncated if length of name is too big
  • Fixed a bug that made not possible to modify condition parameters in lines 2-5
  • Fix in calculate map dimensions
  • RedPill(Debug).exe renamed to RedPillEditor(Debug).exe

Picasso96 sold to Individual Computers and Hyperion Entertainment (Update)
According to Alexander Kneer and Tobias Abt under the title link, they have decided "to sell the Picasso96 intellectual property to a joint ownership between Hyperion Computer Entertainment and Individual Computers GmbH (Jens Schönfeld)."

They also wrote: "Hyperion and Individual Computers have assured us that they will continue to support both the classic Amiga and next generation systems as well. They plan to integrate P96 into upcoming new OS releases."

Update: (13.04.2017, 13:00, cg)

In a statement on a1k.org (German, requires registration), Jens Schönfeld from Individual Computers explains that the Picasso96 distribution on Aminet will remain available and is still freely distributable. Users that want to register the software will be able to buy a "slightly improved" version from the Individual Computers online shop, using a "pay what you want" approach. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Web-Browser: Release of IBrowse 2.5 might come closer
For more than ten years the website of the internet browser IBrowse as well as its programmer Oliver Roberts has been pointing out to a forthcoming version 2.5 of the programm, if any kind of problems or necessary updates were addressed. Many users gave up hope that IBrowse -which also cannot be purchased for almost ten years  - that an update will be released.

Now the website of the browser has been updated: " As we move closer towards a new IBrowse release, we've updated the FAQ a little and uploaded an unedited history log of all the changes made since IBrowse 2.4 was released (these will both be updated at various times in the future as development continues)." A precise date of a forthcoming version 2.5 is not mentioned in the FAQ, but it is said that "various stumbling blocks have been removed".

Mainly IBrowse 2.5 will provide minor improvements and adaptions to current MUI versions. Additionally, AmiSSL 4 is supported. If the update will be available for free "has yet to be decided". (cg) (Translation: dr)

Hollywood 7: Eternity available
Press release: In the year of Hollywood's 15th anniversary, Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are back on your screen with Hollywood 7: Eternity. Hollywood 7.0 is a massive update with many new features and bug fixes.

The most important new feature is full support for Unicode and native support for 64-bit CPUs on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. This is especially useful on Linux because using 32-bit binaries on a 64-bit Linux is quite a hassle. On top of that, there are lots of other new features.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of new features in Hollywood 7.0:
  • Unicode is now fully supported
  • Lots of new functions for dealing with Unicode text
  • Hollywood is now available in native 64-bit versions for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and iOS
  • Mac OS X and iOS backends have been completely rewritten, they are a lot faster now
  • High resolution ("Retina") displays now fully supported on Windows, Mac OS X and iOS; Hollywood is ultra-crisp in 4K modes now
  • New hardware-accelerated full screen scale mode
  • Faster drawing on Windows and Mac OS X
  • Lots of new features in the iOS backend
  • Support for conditional compiling at preprocessor level
  • Switch-Case statement supports fall through now
  • Text can now be laid out in justified lines
  • Lots of improvements in the IDE on Windows (e.g. direct help and syntax highlighting for functionality provided by plugins)
  • Multi-coloured vector paths are now supported
  • Live resizing on Windows and Mac OS X
  • Time-stamped events
  • New example scripts
  • 70 new pages of PDF documentation, now 924 altogether!
  • Lots of other changes, optimizations and bug fixes
Hollywood 7.0 is the ultimate Multimedia experience and a must-have for all creative people. Hollywood is available on CD and as a download version. Both versions include Hollywood for all supported platforms (except the Android and iOS versions). It is no longer necessary to buy separate licenses for the different platforms. Buying Hollywood gives you a single-user license for all 15 platforms supported by Hollywood. If you already own Hollywood, you can buy a discounted upgrade version. People who bought Hollywood 6.1 in 2017 can request a free upgrade.

Hollywood is the ultimate bridge between all the different AmigaOS compatible platforms and the other three modern desktop systems, Windows, Mac OS X and Linux! Additionally, Hollywood also supports the Android and iOS platforms. A truly unique feature is the ability to cross-compile native executables for many different platforms including: AmigaOS 3.x, AmigaOS 4, WarpOS, MorphOS, AROS (x86), Windows (x86, x64), Mac OS X (x86, x64, PPC) and Linux (x86, x64, PPC, ARM). You don't even have to own these platforms in order to compile executables for them. It's enough to run Hollywood on one of the supported platforms and then compile programs for all the others! Only Hollywood makes it possible.

If you want to learn more about Hollywood, please visit the the official Hollywood portal which also has a forum for all questions concerning Hollywood.

All this makes Hollywood The Cross-Platform Multimedia Application Layer. Join the Multimedia revolution and get your personal copy of Hollywood 7: Eternity now! (snx)

MorphOS: AutoVisible.sbar
Thomas Igracki has created a screenbar module for Ambient called AutoVisible.sbar. On MorphZone the author wrote:

"If you are using an AutoScroll screen (where the real width of the screen is greater than the visible width) and it annoyed you that not all sbar modules, especially the clock;) are visible if you are "working" on the left side of the screen, then you should my new screenbar module!

If the "left" side of such a screen is visible, then some of the screenbar modules aren't visible in the titlebar because they are adjusted to the right and therefore (partially) in the invisible area.

AutoVisible.sbar adds an extra empty space (depending on the position of the screen) to the titlebar, to have all your sbar modules in the visible area. Well, only if you are not having that many modules, that they don't fit into the visible area;)"

Press release: The ACA500plus has kept us busy since it's introduction in december 2016: After less than four months, the all-rounder for the A500 is already one of the most successful products in company history. While our shop system is still not showing any stock, the average wait time for a card has gone down to just three days. Only a fraction of the customers had a waiting time of more than a week. We'd like to say thank-you to all our customers for a great start into the year 2017!

Starting in April 2017, our customers from Germany and areas close to the German border will be able to pay in cash for their orders from our shop through our partner Barzahlen.de. If you go shopping next time at Rewe, Penny, dm and many other retail stores, you can also pay for your order from our shop and use either cash or the cards that are accepted in those stores. This way, safety-conscious customers have the best protection of their bank data. Barzahlen.de offers buyer protection, and also a refund in cash in case you make use of your right of revocation. We will get an instant notification of your payment, so your parcel may already be on it's way before you get back home. (cg) (Translation: dr)
