AmigaOS 4: X11-environment AmiCygnix 1.1
With Edgar Schwan's X11-environment AmiCygnix (screenshots: 1,
2,
3,
4,
5)
it is possible to launch several Unix applications under AmigaOS. Most important changes in version 1.1:
- Support of programs compiled for GTK+ 2.24 and GTK+ 3.x.
- A new (experimental) display driver is included, which opens a X11 display in a workbench window.
- The X server and the display drivers were revised. The server can now be launched several times without problems.
- All new programs with an own directory in the AmiCygnix "Software" directory will have two start scripts: One for opening the application on the desktop (just like before) and a script, which opens the program in an own display. With a special version of the settings editor "myX11Setup" you can select the display driver and the window manager for every application, which is launched with the new start script.
- A new icon theme in AmgaOS 4.1 style is included.
- The workbench icons are now all in AmigaOS 4.1 style.
- Version 1.0 of AmiCygnix could not be installed on partitions formatted with the filesystem JXFS. This is now solved.
- Most of the programs and libraries used in this package were replaced by current versions.
AmiCygnix 1.1 can be copied over an existing installation of a previous version.
The distribution consists of two parts: The base archive AmiCygnix-Base and the tool collection AmiCygnix-Tools.

Fabien 'Fab' Coeurjoly has updated his version 1.0 (2012.04.18) of his MorphOS-port of MPlayer. He wrote:
"I just reuploaded it to fix a ffmpeg bug : it was inconditionally using altivec in sample format conversion routine. It prevented mplayer from working on non-altivec machines when the routine was used."

AROS: Broadway-X-Distribution for Raspberry Pi
Pascal Papara has published a SD-card-image of his AROS-distribution Broadway-X for the ARM-based Raspberry Pi (amiga-news.de reported on it).
Because he himself does not own such a computer and his distribution he can only adapt under the slow Qemu-emulation, the image boots instead of into an automatic login into the command line. In order to start AROS Broadway you have to enter "startx".
With the command "lx" Linux programms can be launched from the AROS. The next features will be automatic integration of devices, exchange of some installed applications and a upgrade to Debian Wheezy.

PPC-Hardware: Status update for UltimatePPC
Last Saturday in Maarssen the meeting of the Commodore Gebruikersgroep took place which also was visited by the two developers of the PPC-extension UltimatePPC which was announced some weeks ago. One of the members have uploaded some pictures to amiga.org and have given a short summary of the current status of the project:
- Hardwarewise the PPC side is working and booting. The 68040 side works, but does not yet talk to the classic hardware. The card does run, standalone. But the Amiga will not boot yet with the card inserted. [editor's note: This would mean that both processors obviously are more integrated than it seemed at the first announcement].
- Active talks with Hyperion for supporting AmigaOS4.x.
- Driver support: lots of help pledged for building drivers for all the hardware goodies (more help is always welcome!).
- Support for WarpUp/WarpOS through support pledged by the original author.
- The MicroSD card on the UltimatePPC holds the firmware/bootcode. This is indended to stay. That means upgrading/flashing the card can be done with a normal PC and a card reader... !!
Editor's note: The QorIQ P1013 Power-Processor which is used on the UltimatePPC contains a FPU which is not compatible with processors used in other Amiga-PPC-projects. According to our information this would mean that - supposed WarpOS or AmigaOS 4 would be adapted to UltimatePPC - no other existing PPC-software would run on this hardware and the PPC-programms have to be adapted to the UltimatePPC by the developers.

Hollywood Designer 4.0 available
Press release: After 18 months of intense development Airsoft Softwair is very proud to announce the immediate
availability of the long awaited fourth incarnation of our famous Hollywood Designer. Hollywood Designer 4.0 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: AmigaOS 3.x, AmigaOS 4, WarpOS, MorphOS, AROS (x86), Windows (x86), Mac OS X (PPC & x86),
and Linux (PPC & x86). This is a feature that is totally unique in the Amiga world.
Hollywood Designer 4.0 is a huge update and has many new features and improvements over the previous version. We do not want to bore you, so here are just some of them:
- Ready for Hollywood 5.0: Infinity!
- Video clips can now be embedded in your projects
- Support for vector formats like SVG
- Over 25 filter effects for layers like blur, emboss, sharpen, gamma correction...
- Support for real, curve-based vector graphics
- Powerful improvements in the action events system: loops and conditions now possible!
- Multiple languages can be embedded in a single project
- Support for the Hollywood 5.0 plugin system: you can use all file formats that your Hollywood plugins support
- Support for password protected presentations
- Projects can use screen blanker pages
- Projects can now listen to keyboard events
- Cool new gradient types like conical, radial and multi-linear gradients
- Shadow and border now supported for every object type
- Much better looking drop shadows using alpha channel transparency
- Custom user color palette can now be defined
- Over 10 new action events (over 50 altogether!)
- Lots of other changes, optimizations and bug fixes
Hollywood Designer is no longer limited to "just" being an authoring software, it can now also be used as a flexible graphics editor because it supports many features of modern graphics editors like multiple
layers with filter effects, vector graphics, image import, and text.
Without a doubt, Hollywood Designer 4.0 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 4.0 running on MorphOS and AmigaOS 4:
Hollywood Designer 4.0 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 4.0 comes on a CD-ROM that contains versions for all supported platforms: There are
native versions of the program for AmigaOS 3.x (m68k), WarpOS (ppc), MorphOS (ppc) and AmigaOS 4 (ppc). The CD-ROM version is delivered as a nice Digipak.
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 a previous version of Hollywood Designer, you can buy a discounted
upgrade version. Have a look at the order page for special offers.
Please note that Hollywood Designer 4.0 runs on top of the Multimedia Application Layer Hollywood 5.0.
Thus, Hollywood 5.0 is strictly required for Hollywood Designer 4.0. 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 5.0 & Hollywood Designer 4.0.
Power up your Amiga system with Hollywood 5.0 & Hollywood Designer 4.0 and order now! (snx)
