MorphOS: Blender animation "Efika - das Mini-Movie"
Carsten Siegner is making available an animation which was produced completely - including cutting and scoring - with the 3D package Blender 2.4.2a and should demonstrate its possibilities under MorphOS.
The video is available in OGM format, so for smooth viewing, at least MPlayer 1.0 rc1 is required.

AmigaOS 4: Software sampler Phonolith 0.5
Phonolith is a software instrument for AmigaOS 4 which plays back sampled waveforms. It is usable with Horny and other CAMD-based sequencers or just with a connected MIDI keyboard as well.
New in this version is the "Mixdown" function, with which one's own songs can be saved as AIFF files. But this only works with a keyfile. Since such are not sold yet before version 1.0, one can obtain them only through registering the Horny MIDI sequencer.
Features of version 0.5:
- downmixing to AIFF file (not for lite version)
- receives MIDI notes through camd.library
- mixer unit with volume controls and peak meters
- 16 different instruments at once
- ADSR amp envelope for each instrument
- unlimited number of samples for each instrument, for key and velocity ranges
- supports AIFF (16 bit) sample format
- imports Logic EXS24 instruments (only from Macintosh (PPC?))
- ReAction GUI
Planned features of version 1.0:
- mixer unit with panning controls
- WAVE sample support
- better EXS24 import (Intel format...)
- connection to Horny for automatic project loading
- control mixer with MIDI commands
- non-linear volume levels and ADSR-release
Further information on Phonolith can be found under the title link. (cg) (Translation: cad)

These screenshots are from the AmigaOS 4 version of Hollywood Designer 2.0 but the program is also available for AmigaOS 3, WarpOS and MorphOS with the same
set of features.
For a detailed description of all the features of Hollywood Designer 2.0, please visit the product page of the program which should contain everything you want to know about this impressive software. Due to the fact

A download version is also offered. If you order the download version, you will have to download an ISO image which you need to burn on CD-R then. If you already own Hollywood Designer 1.0, you can buy a discounted upgrade version. Have a look at the order page for special offers.
Please note that Hollywood Designer 2.0 runs on top of the Multimedia Application Layer Hollywood 2.5. Thus, Hollywood 2.5 is strictly required for Hollywood Designer 2.0. Both programs are available in a special bundle which is the ultimate package for every power Amiga user who wants to see what his system can do with Hollywood 2.5 & Hollywood Designer 2.0.
Power up your Amiga system with Hollywood 2.5 & Hollywood Designer 2.0. Order now! (cg) (Translation: cg)

MorphOS: SearchStar 0.78
Tom 'Amigaharry' Duin writes about version 0.78 of his search program: "Reading the Amiga Future 65 review about my SearchStar 0.76, the review stated that not all files were found by searching. I was going into the sources and found the bug; a near double match was not detected. For instance, search for TEST, then TTEST, TETEST and TESTEST was not found.
Searching for files, through files and file comments is bugfixed. However, the deletion and renaming of files are improved but not entirely bugfixed. As I am going to holiday, it will take a while to solve the last two bugs." (snx)

HTMLview.mcc released under LGPL
Press release The HTMLview.mcc MUI class authors are proud to announce that finally after 10 years of successful development on the AmigaOS platform, the full sources of the HTMLview.mcc MUI custom class are now released under the LGPL license.
In 2000 the sources were kind of lost, because the original author (Allan Odgaard) faced a harddisk crash. However, in early 2005 another try was started to recover the sources from that particular harddisk and luckily the full sources were salvaged from it. Therefore the sources are now released under the LGPL Open source license to a) attract more developers to it and b) to have "the internet" as the future backup server for it.
The sources are now hosted on a sourceforge.net SVN and every interested developer is invited to contribute to the development of the HTMLview.mcc class, especially for the upcoming efforts in AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS development. (snx)

AROS for AmigaOS: AfA 3.95
Version 3.95 of AROS for AmigaOS (AfA), a port of individual AROS components, now installs the Iconlib from AROS as well, to be able to display dual PNG icons in 32 bit from AmigaOS 4 on the Workbench and in Directory Opus Magellan.
New here compared to the final beta version is that in AFA_Prefs, the transparency of default icons as well as the transparency of icons when dragging can be adjusted.
Other improvements:
The FAQ was expanded with troubleshooting for the new Iconlib and CyberGraphX, and a Readme file for the new Iconlib was written.
Problems with the Exe datatype as well as the MacSnd datatype and CopyIcons were solved.
Under Picasso 96 and CyberGraphX 2, dragging icons in 32 bit now works under Directory Opus Magellan and Workbench as well. However, under CyberGraphX 3 and 4, only the icon scaled down to four colors is displayed.
In the author's opinion, the latter two versions of CyberGraphX seem to have the problem which cannot be remedied by the Supergels patch. Namely, it is important that the old icon bitmap data was not modified by any patch, because otherwise, the icon recognition in BltMaskBitmap-Rastport does not work, so that no 32 bit alpha image can be blitted, reportedly.
