This makes it possible for the first time to view these cool 3D animations known from many wild demo compos in the late 90s on NG Amiga, Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and Android systems without the need to use an emulator!

All known IFF YAFA features are supported including the undocumented hi- and true colour extensions introduced in Wildfire 7. Here are some highlights:
  • Support for planar, chunky, 15 bit and 24 bit YAFA anims
  • Support for byte, word, and longword delta compression
  • HAM6 and HAM8 modes fully supported
  • Anims that use a dynamic palette are supported
  • Support for timestamped anims
  • Native decompressor for XPK FAST, NUKE, and RAKE packed anims; xpkmaster.library is not necessary
  • Native decompressor for StoneCracker 4.04 packed anims (used only by early Wildfire versions)
This plugin is available for free download from the official Hollywood portal. Thanks to Hollywood 5's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS 3.x (with and without FPU), AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS (Intel), Linux (PowerPC), Linux (Intel), Mac OS X (PowerPC), Mac OS X (Intel), Windows and Google Android are provided.

SSL vulnerabilities in Amiga software
Harry 'Piru' Sintonen reveals security issues on Amiga SSL implementations. Critical vulnerabilities are found in IBrowse, SimpleMail and other programs.

Summary of the text file found at the title link:
  • IBrowse 2.4 is vulnerable to Man in the Middle attacks (sslsniff)
  • SimpleMail 0.40 is vulnerable to Man in the Middle attacks (sslsniff)
  • AWeb and IBrowse 2.4 support insecure SSL 2.0 and weak ciphers, enabling trivial attacks against the encrypted traffic
  • SimpleMail allows weak ciphers, enabling trivial attacks against the encrypted traffic.
  • AmiSSL is based on old version of OpenSSL, and several security vulnerabilities have been found since
  • YAM 2.9 has secure SSL implementation (barring the deficiencies in AmiSSL itself)

Workbench enhancement: BetterWB 3.3
Similar to AIAB, AmiKit or AmigaSYS, BetterWB is a collection of Workbench enhancements for AmigaOS 3.1, which are useful but rather simple and therefore require low hardware configuration. It is meant for e.g. purists and users of low end Amigas or Minimig users.

BetterWB runs on any Amiga and is provided as disk images. It requires the original disks of Workbench 3.1 (may also work under 3.0, but was not tested) and 8 MB harddrive memory.

Changes:
  • Updated icon.library to version 46.4.332
  • Added showboards command so that we can detect some ACA accelerators (WhichAmiga fails with some of them)
  • Added PowerSnap commodity for enhanced clipboard functionality
  • Redit 1.8 replaces the aging Ed and gives you much more functionality
  • Added a new "IconSet" preferences app that lets you switch between different built-in icon types
  • Plus many more fixes and minor enhancements

DigiBooster 3: Open Source Portable DigiBooster 3 Replayer released
Press release: After succesfull introduction of DigiBooster 3, APC&TCP releases an open source DigiBooster 3 replayer routine organized as a static library. The code is being released on permissive, two-clause BSD license. The player is written in clean C with minimal dependencies. As such it has been succesfully compiled and tested on numerous platforms: AmigaOS 4 and Morphos, Linux (on x86, x86_64 and aarch64), Windows (XP, Win7, 32 and 64 bit) and MacOS X (x86_64). It also supports the most popular compilers:

GCC, Clang and Visual C++. The package contains source code of two example tools: 'dbminfo' displays information about a module, 'dbm2wav' renders a module into 44.1 kHz 16-bit stereo WAVE file. Of course libraryAPI documentation is provided as well.

Based on this code we plan to release in the near future more ready to use components, like shared libraries for AmigaOS and MorphOS and a few plugins for popular audio players. Release of this code ends difficulties of playing DigiBooster 2/3 modules on non-Amiga(like) systems. The library package is available for downloads on the official DigiBooster 3 webpage. Any questions related to the package may be asked on the official DigiBooster support forum. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: WarpView 1.06
WarpView loads pictures via datatypes and shows them with Warp3D - which enables fast scaling, but uses more video-RAM than traditional picture viewer. Changes:
  • Fixed a bug in the Blur and Unsharp Mask code which could cause crashes
  • Implemented preview for Blur and Unsharp Mask filters
  • Added new noise reduction filter (experimental)
  • Added new Lanczos Sharp scaling method (Lanczos resampling)
  • Added new Intensity Adjustment option (Brightness, Contrast, Gamma)
  • Public keyfile is now included

AROS: Distribution AROS Vision 2.3 with Wildfire 7 and Games Master System
Olaf Schönweiß has released version 2.3 of his AROS/68k-distribution AROS Vision. It includes the full version of the animation and special effects programm Wildfire 7 as well as the latest version of AMOS Professional (bug fixes). Additionally, the "Games Master System" is included which is a developer kit for games. This is now Freeware.

Based on this, a AMOS-Pro-extension was integrated (command list ). This is a little example which opens an AGA-screen and loads an IFF-picture:
G Init GMS
G Screen Open 0,320,256,256,lowres
G Load IFF "clown.pic",0
G Wait LMB
G Reset
Additional to other extensions of the distribution like Netsurf AGA and the support of Tracker-modules of the Mod-file format, there now is also an online version of the tutorial for the included file manager Directoy Opus Magellan.

AROS Vision is tested under WinUAE as well as under FS-UAE. (snx) (Translation: dr)

AROS: Experimental distribution Icaros Desktop 1.5.2 WIP 5
Paolo Besser has released another "experimental" version 1.5.2 WIP 5 ("work in progress") of his AROS-distribution Icaros Desktop. You can find a list of changes under the title link. The last stable version 1.5.2 was released in May.

Please note that the WIP-versions are incompatible to the official ones of the distribution. They are based on Krzysztof Śmiechowicz' back ports of functions of the development branch ABIv1 to the binary interface of version 0. Therefore this version is meant for users who want to support this development by testing and reporting feedbacks. (snx) (Translation: dr)

AROS: Survey on interest on AEROS for Sam4x0- and AmigaOne-X1000-boards
Under the title link Pascal Papara has announced to adapt his Linux-hosted AROS-distribution AEROS to the PowerPC-Boards Sam440ep (Flex) and Sam460ex developed by ACube Systems and AmigaOne X1000 developed by A-EON Technology working under AmigaOS 4, if at least 50 users register interest. - In this context he mentioned that by comparision for his Raspberry-Pi-version he has 300 registered users.

An advantage of AEROS - additional the access to Linux - compared to the native version of AROS developed by Jason McMullan for the Sam460ex, is that it can use the ABI-V1 back ports of Krzysztof 'deadwood' Śmiechowicz which among others make it possible to use Directory Opus 5.

AmigaOS 4: Development site for future MUI-versions established
Thore Böckelmann and Jens Maus wrote: "From now on a public website for interested AmigaOS-4-developers and users is available under the title link who use the Magic User Interface (MUI).

This site is meant as a focal point for MUI-documentations, FAQs and updates. Furthermore the website is to use by the MUI-developers for developeing further MUI for AmigaOS 4. All available MUI-versions on this website are offered with the explicit permission of the original MUI-author (Stefan Stuntz).

In order to be able to completely configure the user-interface and to change the standard skin, these versions require (similar to MUI 3.8) a keyfile, which can be only ordered via the MUI-Homepage of Stefan Stuntz. If you already have a key for MUI 3.8 or MUI 3.9, you can use it without any limitations with the new version.

Additional to the download of the developed AmigaOS-4-versions of MUI, a public bugtracker is available. All AmigaOS-4-developers and users are very welcome to report identified problems and bugs there. You can also post ideas and suggestions which then will be integrated in future versions. Currently anonymous bugreports are accepted but the MUI-developers asked every interested user to create an account to simplify the communication for solving a problem and to enable direct consultations."
