AmigaOS 4: Sodipodi 0.34r2 for AmiCygnix
Edgar Schwan has ported the general vector illustrating application Sodipodi, which is the predecessor of the well-known editor "Inkscape", in version 0.34r2 for his X11 environment AmiCygnix (screenshot). Files of the SVG format can be created and edited.
New in this release:

Features of Sodipodi:
- Extensive set of features for editing vector images:
- mirror
- rotate
- combine / disassemble
- straighten
- transparencies
- and much more...
- Drawing modes:
- freehand lines or Bezier curves
- text
- rectangle
- ellipse
- star
- spiral
- pen
- pencil
- calligraphy
- Gradients (linear and radial)
- grouping of objects
- printer support
- Can export project into a PNG file. Additionally can export project to postscript and PDF format using the print requester.
- Import of graphics in the formats JPeg, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, XPM and SVG
- XML editor to edit the SVG data directly
- Intuitive GUI
- High performance
- and much more...

Hollywood Designer 5.0 Special Edition available
Press release: Autumn just got awesome: Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to present the Special Edition of Hollywood Designer 5.0. Hollywood Designer 5.0 SE is identical to the standard edition of Hollywood Designer 5.0 except that it comes bundled with a special version of Hollywood 8.0 that can only be used with Hollywood Designer but not on its own.
This limitation makes it possible to offer Hollywood Designer 5.0 SE for a much cheaper price than buying Hollywood Designer 5.0 and Hollywood 8.0 separately. It is a special offer targeted specifically at people who only want to use Hollywood Designer but not Hollywood itself. For those users it is now possible to get the most advanced Amiga multimedia software suite for a much cheaper price!
Hollywood Designer 5.0 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, games, and applications. 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, Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Android, and iOS.
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, video import and export, and text processing. Learn more about Hollywood Designer 5.0 and its features at the title link.

Hyperion withdraws opposition against registration of US trademark 'Amiga'
In January 2017, Cloanto filed for registration of the 'Amiga' trademark with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) - right after the previous owner Amiga, Inc. let its own registration expire. Hyperion opposed that registration and filed for several other Amiga-related trademarks ("AmigaOS", "AmigaOne", Boingball) itself, encountering a few administrative issues initially.
The trademark disputes grinded to a halt shortly after that, mostly caused by the lawsuits that had been filed by Hyperion on one side and Cloanto as well as the 'Amiga parties' on the other side. But in the last few days, new filings have been submitted: Hyperion's lawyer is informing the USPTO that his client is withdrawing its opposition against Cloanto's registration of the 'Amiga' mark. Hyperion's attempt to register the BoingBall logo has been abandoned this week as well.
Note from staff: Since the USPTO is already pointing out a "likelihood of confusion" of the other marks Hyperion applied for (AmigaOne, AmigaOS) with Cloanto's 'Amiga' mark, we assume that these attempted registrations will be denied once Cloanto's mark is registered. We currently have no information about the reasons behind Hyperion's change of strategy. (cg)
