XAD-Plugin for Hollywood released
Press release: Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working elves in Christmas business, are proud to present a brand-new plugin for Hollywood: xad.hwp! This plugin allows Hollywood scripts to conveniently open and browse archives through xadmaster.library. It uses Hollywood 6.0's new file and directory adapter plugin interfaces which allow you to iterate through XAD archives as if they were normal directories. Files within XAD archives can also be accessed as if the XAD archive was a normal directory. It just doesn't get any easier! With xad.hwp it is not necessary to unpack a file stored in a XAD archive to a temporary file before it can be opened. Hollywood 6.0's file adapter plugin interface allows direct streaming from the XAD archive into the respective file handler without any temporary file overhead. This makes it even possible to stream music or video directly from a XAD file!

15 years of Hollywood: Malibu 1.4 released as Freeware
Press release: 15 years ago today, on Nov 5th 2002, Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, released version 1.0 of Hollywood. Back then it was advertised as a "multimedia authoring system" comprising over 150 functions and it was only available for 68k Amigas. It immediately attracted the attention of lots of creative people from all around the world and thanks to the fantastic support of its community Hollywood has grown into a real swiss army knife for all different kinds of purposes. Who would have guessed 15 years ago that Hollywood would evolve into such a beast of a software that runs on over a dozen of different platforms and has lots of plugins that enhance its capabilities even further?

AmigaOS 4: Playable preview of "Spencer" (Entwickler-X)
"Spencer" (Youtube video) is the latest project of Entwickler-X (M.A.C.E., Swamp Defense, Emotion). Thomas 'imagodespira' Claus provides a playable preview but explicitly points out that this early version has still many bugs. For full performance, Spencer requires the latest versions of Warp 3D Nova and OpenGL ES although it is not perfectly clear if the last version which is available for users can meet this requirements. Spencer should also run without Nova, then MiniGL is used instead of it - and objects do not cast a shadow.

A detailed list of the planned update was published in a message at the Amiga32:
Currently we dot not have further information. If the updated system still fit on an usual ROM is not clear.

A3660: Free, 68060-compatible replica of A3640
John "Chucky" Hertell has replicated the A3000/A4000 CPU board A3640. A 68060 processor can be plugged in his board which analogous to the 68040-based model was named A3660. The project was started because many of the A3640-boards was damaged due to leaking capacitors and the modification of such a board is considered to be difficult for a 68060-processor. The developer has published all information about the replica in his blog.

For years the website of the MUI-based web browser IBrowse has published hints for a forthcoming version 2.5. But these hints only were little texts - and the program itself could not be purchased any longer since the exit of the last publisher IOSPIRIT. Therefore many Amiga users have lost faith in an update.

Dock in Mac OS style: New version of MacLikeDock (update)
In a tutorial for beatifying Workbench, Stefan Egger has pointed out that an updated version of the dock MacLikeDock is available. The program which was originally written for AmigaOS 4 imitates the look and the performance of the dock of Mac OS X. There is an older port of the program to AmigaOS 3, which is also used in Amikit, but this is supposed to be quite bugged. The version of MacLikeDock which is available on his website still has the version string "Mac-Like Dock 3.2 (03.29.13)", but according to Egger includes diverse bug fixes.
