AmigaOS 4: ignition and ODS add-on updated
Achim Pankalla writes: After more than a year of working, the beta 5 of the spreadsheet "ignitionOS4" is now available on the Sourceforge pages. The most important innovation of this version is the print routine, which now easily brings graphics and diagrams to paper. In addition, the print margins are also considered.

Furthermore, two errors in the diagram modules were corrected and some mathematical functions adapted in their behavior to those of the standard applications, so that the import of foreign formats works better. Also some minor and major errors have been removed from the program. The installation now also includes the alternative icon set and a translation into French. The revised manual is now available in English.

Crowdfunding: New Amiga-500 cases
After the Amiga-1200 cases and keyboard caps, Philippe Lang has started another crowdfunding project for financing the production of new cases for the Amiga 500 and 500+.

The new cases are not only supposed to replace the yellowed and recalcitrant cases but can also be equipped with the standalone version of the accelerator board Vampire V4 instead of an Amiga-500 board. For this and the Vampire-V2-A500 there are port extension for USB, HDMI and SD-card ports. Plastics used for the case are treated Anti-UV. Philippe Lang wrote: "Plastics used for the case are treated Anti-UV. It will never yellow ever." (snx) (Translation: dr)

Introduction to Objective-C under MorphOS 3.10
Objective-C is an "object-oriented programming language that adds Smalltalk-style messaging to the C programming language". Due to the conceptual similarity to BOOPSI ("Basic Object Oriented Programming System for Intuition"), Objective-C now is used in MorphOS to simplify creating and using new (MUI-) classes. On the website of the MorphOS project you can "read more about the implementation details and how MorphOS developers will be able to use these new frameworks". (cg) (Translation: dr)
