Hyperion celebrates its 10th birthday, website reworked
After a longer break the website of Hyperion can be accessed again: Celebrating its 10th birthday the website of the company was completely redesigned. Customer accounts and product registrations were not saved from the old website so there is a brief instruction how registered customers can get access to their old data.
The site uses modern web-technologies and therefore can only be limited used with IBrowse or AWeb. But downloads of software updates should work fine.

AmigaOS 4: Vim 7.0 for AmiCygnix
Edgar Schwan has published Vim 7.0 for his X11-environment AmiCygnix. Vim is a text editor. It is an improved version of the vi-editor which is included in most of the UNIX-systems.
Vim is often called as "Programmer's Editor" - many users think of it as a complete IDE. Nevertheless it can be used for more. You can use Vim for writing eMails or editing configuration files.
This is the second release of Vim. The changes:
- Working printer support
- Executing external commands is supported now; therefore "Make" works now
- Working localization
- External command "ctags" for creating source code index files is included
- GTK2 user interface
- Compiled with complete ("huge") featureset - support of "from right to left writings" and much more

AROS: Janus-UAE 0.2
With Janus-UAE Oliver 'o1i' Brunner has started developing a new branch of the Amiga emulator E-UAE for AROS/x86. The reason is the UAE-integration which is in the works. Especially Janus-UAE offers now Picasso96-support.
Changes since E-UAE 0.8.29-WIP4:
- Compiling for GTK under AROS enabled
- Slight changes to the used widgets
- Small bugfixes
- 24-bit mode can be saved for 68020
- GTK-optimized
- Changed library open/close, as GTK-MUI normally expects that a GTK program is a port from Unix and so does not open/close AROS Libraries
- ZLib support (packed disk files, not tested)
- Picasso96 working (merged from the AROS uae version)
- The name ;)
