Amiga Forever: Version 8, R3
Press release: Amiga Forever 8 "R3" (8.3.1.0) released, consolidating more than 75 documented fixes and enhancements, and numerous minor improvements from previous early access updates. The title editor, the setup wizard and the changelog and update experience again received special attention, and so did features relating to keyboard, audio and CD handling.

A general priority of this release cycle has been on adding an extra level of polish, once more fixing all known bugs and setting a foundation for improved processing of future issues. This includes support for a new feedback server (for user feedback and application crash handling), which is now also available to emulation plugins.

Version 8 users can get the update through the Help/About dialog. The updated full installation package can also be accessed via the original confirmation email or from the new Help/My Downloads and Keys menu item. Additional details can be found in the built-in Changelog feature (in Help/About). (snx)

AmigaOS4: UFRaw 0.22 for AmiCygnix
Edgar Schwan has ported the RAW graphics editor UFRaw to his X11 environment AmiCygnix (screenshot). UFRaw is a tool for editing and converting RAW graphics. It is based on Dave Coffin's "DCRaw" and supports a lot of formats.

UFRaw can be used as separate tool or as plugin for the picture editing software "The Gimp". While installing UFRaw, "Gimp" is detected and the installation of the plugin is offered.

Features:
  • Supports various RAW image formats (based on "DCRaw V9.26").
  • Can be used as a Gimp plug-in (needs an already installed Gimp 2.6 package).
  • Is able to read and write Exif data (exiv2 V0.25). The tool "exiv2" is also included and can be called via a shell.
  • Supports color management with "Little CMS 2" (lcms2 V2.1).
  • A new version of "Lensfun" (0.3.2) with the support of many new cameras and lenses is integrated. Lensfun is a library for the removal and simulation of photographic lens distortions.
  • New features compared to the last version 0.19:
    • Saving now also supports the file format "fits" (Flexible Image Transport System), a format developed by NASA.
    • Support for JPEG2000 graphics is now integrated.
Supported formats:
  • Unidentified Flying Raw (*.ufraw)
  • Adobe Digital Negative (*.dng)
  • Alpha Raw Format (*.arw)
  • ARRIRAW Image (*.ari)
  • Canon Raw (*.crw, *.cr2)
