`06.Nov.2022`	Dock: QDock V1.17 Sami Vehmaa had released the first version of his start bar "QDock" almost two weeks ago (amiga-news.de reported). The new version 1.17, as the developer writes to us, "has gone trough a big transformation and is now working more like it was intended." A new YouTube video explains the changes: among other things, there is now a second row with space for another 25 icons. Likewise, drives can be added to the dock. The tool is available for three Euros or more and is primarily intended for emulators or Apollo cards due to the high CPU requirements. It requires AmigaOS 3.2 (3.1 might work as well, but not tested), graphics board and 22 MB RAM. (dr) [News message: 06.

`06.Nov.2022` Amigaworld.net (forum)	Video: Not even scammers want to support AmigaOS Fraudsters who pretend to be Microsoft support on the phone, for example, in order to get computer users to download and run malware, are one of the unpleasant side effects of the internet age. As an Amiga user, however, you are excluded even from this nowadays, as the video at the title link documents. (snx) [News message: 06.

`06.Nov.2022` Andreas Falkenhahn (ANF)	Hollywood: 20th anniversary - XLSX plugin 1.0 released Press release:On November 4th 2002, Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, released Hollywood 1.0 for 68k AmigaOS. Originally advertised as a multimedia authoring solution, nobody would have expected back then that this software would turn into a cross-platform programming language for lots of platforms with dozens of plugins for all kinds of tasks. Now, 20 years later, Hollywood is still going strong, receives regular updates and new plugins, and is used by many people around the globe. All of this would not have been possible without the continued support of many Hollywood enthusiasts in the past 20 years. Only the positive feedback we received right from the start made us continue developing Hollywood into what it is today. As a little "thank you", we proudly present yet another plugin for Hollywood: XLSX. The XLSX plugin makes it possible to conveniently read and write XLSX documents from Hollywood scripts. It offers a wide variety of functions to set and get cell values, cell types, cell formulas, document/worksheet properties and several other attributes. It also offers an iterator function for a high performance iteration of a large number of cells. On top of that, the XLSX plugin also supports the new serialization interface introduced in Hollywood 9 which means that scripts can conveniently serialize Hollywood tables to XLSX documents by just a single call to Hollywood's SerializeTable() function. In the same manner scripts can also deserialize whole XLSX documents into Hollywood tables by a single call to Hollywood's DeserializeTable() function. It just doesn't get any easier! Of course, the XLSX plugin also comes with detailed documentation in various formats and integrates seamlessly in the Hollywood IDE, including live help. The XLSX plugin is now available for free download from the official Hollywood portal. Thanks to everybody for all the support in the past 20 years and here's to the next 20 years, cheers!

`04.Nov.2022`	AROS: Further development of the emulator Janus-UAE 2 Blitter Studio, which is also responsible for the Amiga emulator Amiberry, has started to continue the development of the emulator Janus-UAE 2. In contrast to version 1.x, which was based on Richard Drummond's emulator E-UAE V0.8.29 WIP4, is part of the AROS distribution Icaros Desktop, for example, and thus is based on the ABI-v0 developer branch, the original author Oliver Brunner had already started porting WinUAE 2 to AROS in 2011 with Janus-UAE 2, which uses the ABI-v1 branch. By the end of 2015, he had brought Janus-UAE 2 up to the level of WinUAE 3.2.0 and subsequently finished work on it. The Amiberry developer 'MiDWaN' has now cloned the sources from SourceForge to a Github repository, including all his changes so far, among other things so that he has write permissions. His goal is to bring Janus-UAE 2 to the latest WinUAE and SDL 2 (instead of SDL 1). He also wants to add some features from Amiberry. (dr) [News message: 04.

`04.Nov.2022`	Music tip: Protracker track "much" 'no9' has been working in the audio section for years and also occasionally composes music for games. On his YouTube channel, he also publishes his own compositions from time to time, like the piece "much" most recently. He uses the ProTracker 2 clone for Windows by Olav Sorensen for this. As 'no9' writes, he would have tried to use the original Amiga for it, but the constant data exchange between Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) and Amiga would have been very time consuming, as there would sometimes be a lot of copying back and forth for sample data. The Amiga Protracker compatibility was mandatory for him, though. (dr) [News message: 04. Nov. 2022, 06:37] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
