Announcement: Hollywood Designer 3.0
Press release: After almost 3 years of development, Airsoft Softwair is very proud to announce the long awaited third incarnation of our famous Hollywood Designer. Hollywood Designer 3.0 is a multimedia authoring system that runs on top of Hollywood and can be used to create all sorts of multimedia based applications; for example presentations, slide shows, simple games, and programs.
Thanks to Hollywood, all multimedia applications created using Hollywood Designer can be exported as stand-alone executables for the following systems: AmigaOS3, AmigaOS4, WarpOS, MorphOS, AROS (x86), Windows (x86), Mac OS X (PPC), Mac OS X (x86). This is a feature that is totally unique in the Amiga world.
Hollywood Designer 3.0 is a huge update and has endless new features and improvements over the previous versions. We do not want to bore you, so here are just some of them:
- Support for global project timeline: allows scheduling of slides in millisecond precision! (great for sync'ing slides and music)
- Introducing action events for much more artistic freedom
- Almost 40 different action events are supported!
- Unlimited number of effects can run simultaneously
- Unlimited number of anims can run simultaneously
- Incredibly powerful effect handler: page effects can run simultaneously with object effects
- Thumbnail view of all slides in the project
- Support for hotkeys during presentation mode (pause, forward, backward...)
- Event system completely redesigned - much more powerful now!
- All fonts can be linked into executables generated by Designer - no more worries about missing fonts!
- Support for platform independent text rendering: TrueType text looks exactly the same now on every system!
- Text objects can be rotated and distorted now, too
- Support for real layer transparency and tinting
- Inbuilt scaling engine allows promotion of projects to any screen mode
- Layer z-order is no longer tied to order of layer appearance
- On-the-fly animation of layers is possible using a special action event inspired by DPaint's "Move" functionality
- Mouse pointer can be changed during presentation
- GIF anims can be embedded in projects
- Supports cool new MUI 4.0 features (MorphOS version only)
- Added support for object anchor points
- Over 50 new transition effects
- UTF-8 support for all text objects
- Buttons are handled completely asynchronously now
- Projects can now be exported as AVI videos
- Lots of other changes, optimizations and bug fixes
Without a doubt, Hollywood Designer 3.0 is the definitive multimedia solution for all Amiga compatible platforms, but as a picture is worth a thousand words, here are some screenshots of Hollywood Designer 3.0 running on MorphOS 2.6.
Hollywood Designer 3.0 is a very stable and mature multimedia authoring system. We would like to emphasize that it is not only suited for personal use, but also for professional commercial customers. Ferrule Media, for instance, have created an info channel containing over 700 unique slides in a single project with Hollywood Designer. Hollywood Designer was designed to handle these huge projects efficiently so that they can run 24 hours a day and 7 days a week without any visible memory fragmentation!
Hollywood Designer 3.0 will be available exclusively for AmigaOS 3 (m68k), AmigaOS 4 (ppc), and MorphOS (ppc). It is scheduled for release around Christmas 2010. Please contact us with any questions you may have.

Bulletin Board System: DLG now open source
The Bulletin Board System DLG, as well as its source code, has been released by Jeff Grimmett and can be downloaded from Aminet now. DLG began as Dialog BBS for the Amiga and was based on the concept of creating an extension to the Amiga operating system for BBS communications.
DLG consists of a number of small, compact modules that present a minimal memory footprint while in operation. The core of the software is a serial port handler that binds the serial port to an interactive shell session, a resource manager to coordinate locking and releasing of important BBS resources (file and message areas, etc.) and a core runtime library containing the most important and widely used functionality in the BBS. Eventually the BBS was extended to utilize the ARexx interpreted scripting language as well. (snx)

OnyxSoft: CodeAudio 3.03, NewWBPattern 1.1
OnyxSoft has published two updates. CodeAudio is a graphical user-interface for MP3 and further encoders (flac, faad, ogg) which helps you converting CDs into MP3-files.
NewWBPattern changes the background picture of the Workbench and offers in version 1.1 an optional path if you do not want to use ENV/ENVARC.
Changes in CodeAudio 3.03 since 3.01:
- Now setting the execute file protection bit after installing Lame or updating CodeAudio. This is needed on the JXFS file system
- The Extra High setting in the Wizard used the standard instead of extreme VBR setting
- Fixed the shell output flag in the wizard which was not synched with the flag in the Prefs
- Fixed a wierd bug which made it necessary to sometimes click twice on the Finish button in the wizard
- Remove a stupid question which could pop up at the end of the wizard

AmigaOS 4: Fun-Racer SuperTuxKart 0.6.2a
"kas1e" has ported the fun-racer SuperTuxKart to AmigaOS 4.1 (Youtube-Video). The archive (110 MB) includes all required data. There is no need of installing additional files.
SuperTuxKart requires OpenGL which is still not completely optimized for AmigaOS 4. Therefore the game is rather slow yet on a Pegasos 2 with 1 GHZ.
A known bug is that after quitting SuperTuxKart the full memory is not released. The author will try to fix this as soon as possible.

Image editing: iBatch 1.0
Gero Birkenfeld's Image Batcher ("iBatch") is supposed to simplify renaming and converting several image files. The images of a directory are shown as thumbnails and the user can choose the files and the steps of procedure.
iBatch 1.0 is now written in AmiBlitz instead of ARexx. Changes since version 0.4:
- improved useability, completely new GUI
- integrated thumbnail viewer + list editor
- GUI based preferences
- OS4 "lookalike" requester (also under OS3.x)
- no ARexx-script
- c:ImageConverter Shell command is not needed ay longer
- GUI is not AWNPipe-based. Now based on Stormwizard
- progress bar
- same executables for OS3.x up to OS4.x
- support of locale.library
- can be also used with lower screen solutions
The program requires AmigaOS 3/4, 24-bit-datatypes, a RTG-system (picasso96 or CybergraphX), 2MB Chip-RAM and 16MB Fast-RAM as well as wizard.library, jpeg.library and zlib.library.

- Fixed display of the poppen objects for MUI 3.8 installations
- The attachment show window will now display the mail part description in a separate column.
- Fixed problems with important mails containing X-Status: and Status: as local headers
- Fixed bug in the "avoid duplicates" functionality which caused that not all mails have been shown in a preselection window
- Updated the included AISS based theme to require at least AISS 4.8
- Fixed the mail attachment management to not use internal file names for the "Content-Disposition" header of attachments
- Fixed mail search functionality to correctly handle mail header searches
- Fixed XPK packer scanning to show all installed packers correctly
- Fixed the startup to handle multi user installation more smoothly
- Fixed the installation script to get the installation going again

MorphOS: Firewire-Stack Helios 0.4.560
Guillaume 'Yomgui' Roguez has published a new beta version of his firewire-stack for MorphOS 2.x on Aminet. This version was completely rewritten to get a similar design and API like the USB-Stack Poseidon. Therefore existing installations have to be removed first. A graphical user-interface will follow.
If a compatible SBP2-device was connected (external harddrive, CD-ROM) it is automatically established with the sbp2.class. If this should not work the MorphOS commands Mount and UnitControl can be used as well.
Any feedback of testers is very welcome. Known bugs:
- Oxford ATA bridges (911/935 families) are known to not work after 2339 ORBs send from the computer. Afterwards a bus reset is needed to continue
- Having multiple SBP2 devices on the same bus has not been really tested
- Other kind of devices are not supported yet (more classes needed)
- Code efficiency is not the first goal, so don't be surprised to see USB speed higer than FW! Especially when the client software doesn't request data enough per IO command
