Shoot'em Up: SkillGrid 1.3
About three years ago, Simone 'saimo' Bevilacqua (e.g. BOH, Huenison) released his abstract vertical shoot'em up 'SkillGrid' (amiga-news.de reported).
Additional to several improvements, version 1.3 offers a new weapon (YouTube video) and for AmigaCD32 users the possibility to load and save highscores from/in NVRAM. However, since no testers were available, this feature is to be regarded as experimental. He refers to the readme.txt on the CD. (dr)

Internet: IBrowse 2.5.6 / AmiSSL v5.1 released
Oliver Roberts not only continues to develop his web browser 'IBrowse' for AmigaOS 3, MorphOS and AmigaOS 4, but from now on also maintains the encryption protocol AmiSSL, which now supports OpenSSL 3.0 and now also has its own homepage. Please read the press release:
IBrowse 2.5.6 is now available for download (OS4 users may use AmiUpdate instead), which is the sixth free update for registered owners of IBrowse 2.5. IBrowse 2.1-2.4 and 1.x owners may upgrade to IBrowse 2.5.6 via our store at discounted rates. Please note: IBrowse 2.5.6 requires AmiSSL v5, also released today, so you are advised to download it before updating IBrowse, otherwise you will be left without HTTPS access.
Whilst this releases fixes quite a few different issues, it brings the following improvements too:
- Adapted to fully use OpenSSL 3.0, via AmiSSL v5
- HTTP Brotli compression support
- OpenSearch autodiscovery support
- Gemini client, allowing loading of gemini: URLs
- Improved Gopher support
- JavaScript fixes and improvements
- Google/Gmail account login fixed (became blocked in March)
Changes of AmiSSL 5.1:
- Switched to OpenSSL 3.0 and updated backend to full compatibility with the latest OpenSSL 3.0.3 (3.5.2022) version, which brings new features, such as a built-in HTTP(S) client, along with security and bug fixes.
- Updated root certificates to latest Mozilla-based bundle provided by https://curl.se/docs/caextract.html dated 26.4.2022.
- Split AmiSSL release archive into smaller OS specific and SDK archives.
- OpenSSL tool now has a proper $VER string, with the version number matching the AmiSSL release version number.
- Fixed OpenSSL UI function m68k/ppc crosscalls, reinstating code from AmiSSL v3, that was unfortunately removed in AmiSSL v4.
- Added new streamlined OpenAmiSSLTags/TagList() function to amisslmaster.library which simplifies the opening of AmiSSL.
- Added simple httpget example code which shows how applications can use the new built-in HTTP(S) client.
- Added full autodocs for all the Amiga specific interface functions.
- Improved and structured the developer README-SDK file.
- Added OpenSSL stub link libraries for OS3 (GCC) and OS4 (GCC & VBCC).
- AmiSSL and OpenSSL switched to the Apache License, Version 2.0.
- We have a new homepage at https://amissl.org which provides links to all AmiSSL resources, old and new.

Custom chips: Replacement project of Buffee developers
As Renee Cousins, one of the developers of the turbo card project 'Buffee' (amiga-news.de reported), explained a few days ago, she has turned back to her original Amiga project dedicated to hard-to-find custom chips and their replacements. The first one is Gary and will be called 'Gary Zander'.
At the moment this board is 100% reliably tested on an Amiga 500 and only needs a bit more time during reboot. The lack of tri-state and open-drain pins on the Xilinx chip would be the reason not to release it now. The board would be produced and tested with these supplemented pins soon.
Following this, the replacement for the Agnus will be tackled, called 'Willoe'. Currently, 3D models of the board are being printed to ensure they fit into the PLCC socket. The rough functional scope of Willoe:
- 100 pin TQFP Lattice MachXO2 core (XO2-2000)
- Near instant-on (CPLD-like) functionality
- 16MB of 133MHz, 8-bit pSRAM for AGA+ bandwidth
- 1MB, 2MB Agnus and 2MB Alice compatibility
- Jumpered NTSC/PAL default modes (will also obey pin and software changes)
- Automatic 8372 and 8375 pin detection (universal socket compatibility)
- Many optional features to come

Development environment: Update on 'Grimoire' project
About a month ago we reported about Frédéric 'AmiDARK' Cordier's new project of a software development solution for Amiga computers: Grimoire. In two recent blog entries he reports about the progress on the project:
With the first entry he opens his developer diary and lists all changes he has made to the project starting in January 2020 until today. The second entry reports specifically on his progress with 'screens':
- 'getBestScreenMode' can be returned for Planar and Saga Chunky modi.
- 'OpenScreen' can open bitplanes screens (up to 256 colors).
- working on ’primitive’ copper list support for full screen view with 1 screen. This will later be replaced by a more complex system that can handle more than one screen in view and grid effects.

Accelerator board project: Buffee partly Open Source again
At the end of March we reported that the turbo card project 'Buffee', originally started as Open Source under a non-commercial Creative Commons license, is fully Closed Source. In a new blog entry from yesterday, the developers now announce that the source code for PJIT has been reopened and the private repository has been merged and closed. From now on there is only one repository for PJIT.
Closed Source on the other hand remains the firmware, which contains the boot loader, the PRU programs and the CPLD image, and the hardware design files. (dr)

Kickstarter campaign: 'Tank Mouse' update
The Polish designer Lukas Remis had successfully finished a Kickstarter campaign for the re-release of the wireless Commodore Maus 1352 (amiga-news.de reported).
In a short status update, the developer writes that he is in the process of updating the mouse firmware and finding the best solution for the USB-DB9 adapter regarding the chip shortage. Next up, he says, is the production of the injection molds. In the recent poll on which color shade to use, most votes fell on RAL 9002, which was also used for the campaign photos. However, the developer is looking into the possibility of using a second color shade: RAL 1013 (overview of RAL color shades). (dr)

Aracade game: 'Green Beret' May update
Green Beret is a conversion of Konami's arcade classic of the same name to the Amiga, written using the Scorpion Engine and won third place at AmiGameJam.
In the May update, the "timeout jet" was also added to the Amiga port, which now no longer allows the player to delay the gameplay for longer, e.g. when stopping on the first truck in level 1. Also, blue soldiers now only fire one shot, making the game's difficulty more manageable. Finally, some pixel artifacts in the background of the title screen have been cleaned up. Besides an ADF file, a special WHDLoad version for the 'THEA500 Mini' is also available. (dr)

Hollywood Designer 6.0 released
Press release: To celebrate Hollywood's 20th anniversary this year, Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are back on your screen with another massive release: This time we are proud to present the brand-new version 6.0 of our famous Hollywood Designer.
Hollywood Designer 6.0 is a full-blown 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, games, and applications. Thanks to Hollywood, all multimedia applications created using Hollywood Designer can be exported as stand-alone executables for the following systems: AmigaOS3, AmigaOS4, WarpOS, MorphOS, AROS, Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. This is a feature that is totally unique in the Amiga world!
Hollywood Designer 6.0 is a massive update and boasts lots of 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 9.1!
- Vector animations are now supported
- Bullet lists and enumerations with an unlimited number of levels are now supported
- Support for custom list bullets and enumerations
- Fully asynchronous thumbnail window including live refresh and live regrouping
- New presentation mode specifically designed for USB presenters
- Forward/backward stepping through projects on a per-object basis
- Over 10 new action events
- Many action events can handle variables now
- Global shortcuts for pages can be defined
- Support for high-DPI displays and custom display orientations
- Multiple monitors are now supported
- Custom linespacing support
- Full z-order support for buttons
- Soft-hyphen and zero-width space support for advanced layouts
- UID manager for convenient administration of UIDs
- Plugin loader priorities can be customized
- Several new example projects are included
- Full support for Hollywood 9.1's plugin interface
- Lots of other new features, optimizations and bug fixes
Having been in development for almost 20 years, Hollywood Designer 6.0 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 2000 (!) 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! Ferrule Media's info channel, created with Hollywood Designer, is running in dental clinics all over Norway.
Note that 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 over 30 filter effects, vector graphics, image import, and text.
Hollywood Designer 6.0 is available as a CD and a download version. There are native versions of the program for AmigaOS3 (m68k), WarpOS (hybrid m68k/ppc), MorphOS (ppc), AmigaOS4 (ppc), and AROS (x86). If you already own a previous version of Hollywood Designer, you can buy a discounted upgrade version. People who bought Hollywood Designer 5.0 in 2022 can request a free upgrade. Please note that Hollywood Designer 6.0 runs on top of the Multimedia Application Layer Hollywood 9.1. Thus, Hollywood 9.1 is strictly required for Hollywood Designer 6.0. 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 9.1 & Hollywood Designer 6.0.
