Compiler: vbcc 0.9d, patch 1
vbcc is a C-compiler written by Volker Barthelmann (compiler core) and Frank Wille (Amiga-specific adaptions). The compiler supports AmigaOS 3.x, AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, PowerUp and WarpOS and meets ISO-C (ISO/IEC 9899:1989) as well as a part of the new standard (ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (C99)).
Under the title link the patch for the latest version 0.9d includes an archive with FPU maths libraries which deliver floating-point figures similar to the Unix-System-V.4-ABI. It is for example necessary to write Hollywood-plugins.

Hollywood-Plugin: GL Galore 1.0 for hardware-accelerated 2D-/3D-graphics
Press release: This is the game changer you've been waiting for! Airsoft Softwair is proud to present the next big thing: GL Galore, the ultimate OpenGL® scripting solution for Hollywood! GL Galore is a plugin for Hollywood that allows you to access the OpenGL 1.1 command set directly from Hollywood. This makes it possible to write scripts that utilize the host system's 3D hardware to create high-performance, butter-smooth 2D and 3D animation that is computed completely in hardware by the GPU of your graphics board. This leads to a huge performance boost over the classic Hollywood graphics API which is mostly implemented in software. Especially systems with slower CPUs will benefit greatly from hardware-accelerated drawing offered by OpenGL.

Poll: how many news items should be displayed on the amiga-news.de front page?
The Amiga scene went through a lot of change in the last decade: it used to be an alternative desktop computer system with active users, now it's a hobby for retro enthusiasts and collectors. This had effects on both the amount of news items published by amiga-news.de - it shrank from 10 to 15 items per day to just 3 or 4 per day - and the behaviour of our readers: many of them only check in every few days now.

AmigaOS 4.1: AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition ISO images for download
Press release: Brussels, May 14, 2015
We at Hyperion Entertainment CVBA are more than thrilled about the overwhelming success our customers made out of AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition! Thank you!
Actually the success is so great, causing especially the supply of AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition for Classic to dry up during the last weeks and some of your preferred dealers even ran out of stock already, which is of course unacceptable!
In order to remedy this drawback, Hyperion Entertainment CVBA commissioned the production of another batch of AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition for Classic, which will be available to and from dealers before the end of May - yes, 2015 ;) So if you did not get a copy yet or want another one for your shelf, place your preorder at your favorite dealer now!
Good news for interested A3000 owners: of course we took advantage of this opportunity and fixed the Kicklayout to allow proper booting on A3000 machines without the need for a special bootdisk.
And also some good news for all existing AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition owners: with immediate effect the CD images of your registered AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition version(s) are available in the restricted download area. If not done already, please log in yourself and register your copies by entering the serial numbers in the registration form. We hope we eliminated in this way the fear of a broken CD some of you expressed.
In closing, thank you all again for making the huge success of AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition possible in the first place! This is the best support you can give us for developing AmigaOS, so let's continue to stick together :-)

AROS: FUSE file system bounty project in progress again
Already in December, instead of Leif Salomonsson, Fredrik 'salass00' Wikstrom started working on implementing the FUSE-framework to AROS. It is a complete adaption of the filesysbox.library and not only a recompilation of the version of AmigaOS-4.
According to a statement, the time schedule (May 31st) cannot be achieved. Currently so far 202 US-Dollar has been donated. Krzysztof 'deadwood' Śmiechowicz has offered to double each donation until 500 Dollar has been achieved.

AROS: Aros Vision X86 1.0
As announced, there are now different versions of Olaf Schönweiß' AROS/68k-distribution "Aros Vision". Aros Vision X86 is based on the Windows-hosted version of AROS, that means it can be started as application under Windows without using VMware or having some special hardware (screenshot). The disadvantage: So far sound or network are not supported.
The distribution is based on Magellan featuring some major improvements, supports Mesa/Gallium and includes the game engine Antiryad (a debug-requester will appear but it does work), Free Pascal, many emulators, some games and many applications like AmiFIG or Lunapaint.
