MorphOS: Blender 2.50 Alpha 0
Guillaume 'Yomgui' Roguez ha published an update of his MorphOS-port of Blender. On the official website you can find detailed information about the changes.
The author gave some hints for the MorphOS-version:
- You do not need to install it. Simply extract the archive and use Blender.
- Lauffähigkeit auf dem Efika wird nicht garantiert
- If you want to configure the size of the start window, then launch Blender from the Shell with the paramter "-p", followed by the figures of x and y position as well as of the width and highness of the window. The figures must be seperated by four blanks.
- Blender must be copied to the harddrive. Starting from the RAM-Disk is not supported
- On his website the author has published all known bugs. Please do not post them again
- FFMPEG-support works but is not optimized for Altivec
- Thumbnails created by integrated file-browser are saved in PROGDIR:.thumbnails/

Hint: Brightening yellowed computer towers with Retr0bright
Christian Busse pointed out to a method how you can brighten yellowed computer towers. He wrote:
A Group of Amiga computer enthusiasts think they have come up with an idea to stop ancient computers going yellow. Flame retardant plastics in computers meant that the likes of an Amiga turned yellow with age.
While it has been known that Hydrogen Peroxide could stop the rot, it was not very effective. A bloke called Dave from Manchester, UK, aka 'Merlin', started a project to see if they could turn their old hardware into its old colour.
Apparently a mixture of hydrogen peroxide, a small amount of an "Oxy" laundry booster as a catalyst and a UV lamp will turn a yellow computer back to its normal condition in a few hours.
There is a thread on this mixture called Retr0bright on amibay.com.

Carsten Siegner's "Coolbar" is a toolbar which was created with Hollywood 4.5 and which uses the new graphic routines of the Hollywood update which was published some days ago.
Siegner calls the program as "demo" because it should demonstrate the features of Hollywood 4.5 and does not provide the complete functions of different toolbars. Nevertheless drag'n drop is already supported. Additionally you can change the size of the toolbar without set levels.

According to the website the X1000 is supposed to be availble "still before summer" and will help to establish the Amiga again as combination of "great hardware as well as great Operating System".

The specifications of the X1000-motherboard, called "Nemo":

- "Xena" XMOS XS1-L1 128 SDS
- 7.1 channel HD audio
- 4x DDR2 RAM slots
- 10x USB 2.0
- 1x Gigabit Ethernet
- 2x PCIe x16 slots (1x16 or 2x8)
- 2x PCIe x1 slots
- 1x Xorro slot
- 2x PCI legacy slots
- 2x RS232
- 4x SATA 2 connectors
- 1x IDE connector
- JTAG connector
- 1x Compact Flash
"Xena" is the configurable microcontroller called XCore produced by XMOS
On a discussion on amigaworld.net Robert Trevor Dickinson ("TrevorDick") from A-EON said that the CPU of the X1000 has definitely more than 1,2 Ghz.
