AmigaOS 4: glUAE 20130417
glUAE is a collection of scripts which is supposed to make it easier to use applications with the PowerPC operating system which are not compatible to AmigaOS4. With glUAE executable files, disk-images or ZIP-archives can be started in the Amiga emulator UAE.
In the latest version 20130417 a bug was fixed in the "launch-application"-script by replacing the FOLLOWLINKS by COPYLINKS.

- Use CD32 + FMV quickstart for CD32 model, update cd.device in cartridge ROM fixes problem with Pirates Gold intro.
- Removed a couple of left-over / unnecesary log statements.
- Support language option to override GUI language.
- New translations: tr [Decypher].
- (Launcher) Fixed bug when specifying window_width / window_height in custom settings.
- (Launcher) Warn when using A1200 model with < 2 MB chip RAM.
- (Launcher) Fixed a bug where 0-byte screenshot / covers files could be stored if a network error occurs while downloading.
- (Launcher) Better support for A3000 and A4000 with the game database.
- (Launcher) Support hiding variants from the database based on _status.

Update: (20.04.2013, 17:30, cg)
Meanwhile version 2.2.2 of the emulator is available:
- With video_sync = auto, allow some slack when deciding to enable full sync or not (accept host refresh rate 49 instead of just 50, ..).
- New option: assume_refresh_rate (int) to manually specify host refresh rate when refresh rate detection fails. This option in combination with video_sync = auto effectively replaces video_sync = full.
- video_sync = full is now an alias for video_sync = auto.
- Fixed bug causing FS-UAE to hang when pausing with video_sync = off.
- New model CD32/FMV (includes FMV ROM), CD32 model reverted to original.
- Fixed compatibility issues in scanline GLSL shaders.

Amiga emulator: WinFellow 0.5.1
A new version of the Windows-based Amiga emulator "WinFellow" is available. The most important changes in this update:
- conversion of most of the former assembler code to C
- enhanced compatibility with many titles; the chipset interrupt handler was completely re-designed, and sound interrupt handling was changed as well, allowing execution of many titles that previously failed
- emulation of a battery backed real-time clock (Oki MSM 6242)
- support for 2 joysticks, usable simultaneously
- audio volume made controllable
- the LED overlays were changed to no longer be scaled or stretched, making them nicer to look at
- basic Cloanto Amiga Forever/RetroPlatform Player integration
- revamped debugger using a more modern GUI design
- ability to generate minidumps, which allows us to debug crashes that are reported to us
- updated PDF user guide
- update of project files to current Visual Studio (2012 Update 2 is used to compile the builds) and DirectX; the code can now be compiled using Visual Studio Express editions
- new versioning scheme, based on SVN revisions
- several minor bug and stability fixes

Commodore's biography: The Amiga Years will be published in July
The second part of Brian Bagnall's biography on Commodore called Commodore - A Company on the Edge will be published - with some delay - on July 1st.
In the "The Amiga Years" the author tried to find out why "a computer now widely regarded as having been five years ahead of its competition, failed so spectacularly in the marketplace". Similar to the first part of the book, Bagnall has interviewed many former Commodore members. (cg) (Translation: dr)

TIFF-Plugin for Hollywood
Press release: Airsoft Softwair has just released a new plugin for Hollywood 5 - Infinity. This plugin enables all Hollywood scripts to load and save images in the TIFF format. TIFF is a format that offers lossless compression and the possibility to store images with alpha channels. Although many Amiga systems already have a TIFF datatype installed, it's still recommended to install this plugin because OS4's TIFF datatype doesn't support alpha channel graphics and saving via datatypes is also problematic on many systems.
Thanks to Hollywood 5's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS3 (Classic), AmigaOS3 (FPU), AmigaOS4, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS (Intel), Linux (PowerPC), Linux (Intel), Mac OS (PowerPC), Mac OS (Intel), Windows and Google's Android platform are provided.
