Tool: identify-library 44.4 Richard Körber has released version 44.4 of the identify.library. It collects all kinds of system parameters and provides the user with information on CPU, FPU, memory, clock frequency, etc., for example. The current version now also recognises AmigaOS 3.2.3.

AROS distribution: AROS One 2.8 (x86) The "AROS One" distribution, based on the AROS binary interface ABI v0, is now available in version 2.8 for x86 computers. A DVD ISO file and a USB flash ("VHD") image are available for download. The VHD image can be used as a hard disk in virtual machines such as VMware, VirtualBox and QEmu. This version integrates the last three years of AROS development and brings the 32-bit kernel to the same level as the upcoming 64-bit version of AROS. The new kernel offers improved support for the latest hardware with ACPI support, as well as improvements to disk and network drivers, as well as updates to the core system libraries and more than 60 bug fixes in AROS programmes and libraries. Additional work has also been done to stabilise drivers for virtual environments (VirtualBox, VMware and QEMU), so that AROS can be tested in a virtualised environment before deciding to purchase dedicated hardware. Changes: Update AROS One OS System

Paint program: PolarPaint for all Amiga systems PolarPaint is an experimental paint program written with Hollywood that requires a fast computer with RTG, at least a resolution of 1440x900x16 (program window is 1400x820), at least 40 MB free Fast RAM (64 MB or more recommended) and is available for AmigaOS 3, AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, AROSx86 and WOS.
As the author Anbjørn Myren explains when asked, he had read a thread in the Hollywood forum about how to draw a continuous line. He started experimenting with the examples in the thread and his original idea was to develop a kind of drawing/guessing game in the style of Telestrations. And he continued to write to us: "For this I just needed a simple interface and the ability to draw a black and white sketch. This was in late 2023, but I was doing other stuff so I put it on hold for some time. In late 2024 I started to experiment some more with it, but instead of making it into an online game, I got more interested to see what drawing features I could add. I was a bit unsure to release it on aminet, especially the 68k version since it requires more horsepower than usually found in 68k Amigas. But I figured it might run at a usable speed on NG Amigas and hopefully PiStorm or perhaps Vampire systems. Testing it on WinUAE made me discover the high RAM consumption, which made me come up with the diskbuffer idea. This saves a lot of RAM for most operations, but might result in slowdowns when loading saving disk when changing workspaces. As a bonus the diskbuffering will make backups of your work and also the undo buffer, so if you quit the program it will load your images and undo buffers on next startup so you can start where you left off. Another thing that can use a lot of RAM is the custom flood fill procedure. I made that procedure because I wanted to have a was to floodfill with a threshold setting, similar to what you can find in Gimp. When floodfilling with threshold set above 0 it will consume a lot of memory. As a workaround for this I made an additional setting so you can restrict how big area to fill in one operation. By default this is set to maximum 5% of the workspace area. This mean you will only fill a small area at the time, but hopefully you avoid to terminate the program with a out of memory error. If you have more than around 150MB free RAM I guess you can get away with a 100% setting, but it will take a lot of time for larger areas to complete on slower systems." (dr) [News message: 11.
