`04.Mar.2019` Amiga Future (Webseite)	Javascript: Scripted Amiga Emulator 0.9.10 Rupert Hausberger's "Scripted Amiga Emulator" is written in Javascript and HTML5 using AROS-ROMs as Kickstart replacement. The emulator is used by archive.org for its Amiga "library". New in version 0.9.10: Memory/Roms Fixed wrong $A80000-memory-access in combination with extended-roms > 1mb. (Thanks 'Vesuri' for commit) Updated AROS-ROMs to actual version SVN55696. Disk Fixed bug in DMS decompression with DEEP Compression (Thanks 'steffest' for commit) Video Added support for the 'fullscreen-API'. There is a new api-function called sae.screen() and the new hook-function config.hooks.event.screened(). All browsers should support that. See the examples. The mouse-pointer can now be hidden or locked via the 'pointerLock-API'. The feature is enabled by default. All browsers should support that. See 'Config/Video/Cursor'. A canvas-element can now used directly as output. See example2.htm Audio Fixed wrong/multiple audio-channel selection at the ADKCON-register. (Thanks 'Vesuri' for commit) Added mute-support over sae.mute() Ports Added experimental support for the 'Gamepad API'. It is disabled by default. Go to 'Config/Ports' to enable it. (Thanks to 'SpliFF' for the basic implementation) Better handling of buttons and movement. No input-events get lost and also the 3rd mouse-button is now dectected. Added emualtion of various protection-dongles. Finished support for direct-serial communication and added hooks. See the examples. Added support for direct-parallel communication and hooks. Also see the examples. Removed the 'Enable Serial'-checkbox from 'Config/Ports'. Does not made much sense without hooks. Config Added hooks that get called after the emulator has been started, stopped, reseted, paused or fullscreened. Fixed invalid access of the config-object. (Thanks 'db48x' for commit) Common Removed Google-Analytics. Sorry for the molestation. Added an error if a ZIP-file get detected. Compressed files are not yet supported. Fixed Object.prototype.clone() to a custom function to be compatible with 'jQuery'. (Thanks 'Vesuri' for commit) The patch-version-number has now a 2nd digit and starting at 10.

`03.Mar.2019` Andreas Falkenhahn (ANF)	Hollywood: APK Compiler 3.0 released Press release: Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to present a brand-new version of one of the most popular add-ons for Hollywood 8.0: The Hollywood APK Compiler 3.0. This program converts Hollywood applets into stand-alone APK packages that can then be published on the Google Play Store where they will be available to billions of Android users. Once the Hollywood APK Compiler has been set up, the conversion of a Hollywood applet into an APK file takes only a few seconds. Version 3.0 is a major update which adds support for Hollywood 8.0 as well as for RapaGUI 2.0. It also introduces a new build caching mechanism which greatly reduces build times. It is also possible to link whole directories of assets to the APK now and the plugin linker is much more efficient too. Furthermore, the Hollywood APK Compiler is now available in a Home Edition and a Professional Edition. The Professional Edition of the Hollywood APK Compiler removes the "Powered by Hollywood" splash screen, it allows you to execute custom Java code and it also allows the customization of the Hollywood APK Compiler's Android manifest and Gradle build scripts. See here for a detailed comparison between the Home and Professional Edition. All people who have bought Hollywood 8.0 and a previous version of the Hollywood APK Compiler can request a free upgrade to the Home Edition of the Hollywood APK Compiler via e-mail. Alternatively, people who already own a previous version of the Hollywood APK Compiler can also upgrade to the Professional Edition with a discount. See here for more information. Note that the Hollywood APK Compiler is currently only available for the Microsoft Windows platform because it requires the Java SE Development Kit (JDK) and the Android SDK, both of which are available for free download from the web.

`03.Mar.2019`	WHDLoad: Version 18.4 released / New installers until 02.03.2019 Using WHDLoad, you can install games, scene demos and intros from cracking groups to your harddisk that were only working from floppy disks previously. Version 18.4 provides many changes, bug fixes and new features, e.g. the splash window can also be closed now pressing the fire button on the joystick in port #1 and a new special quit key has been added which quits by pressing Reverse, Forward and Play together on a joypad. fix: option NoReq/S has also effect now for errors occuring in conjunction with option Data/K (issue #3690) fix: patch list command PL_GA fixed in the WHDLoadCD32 fix: fixed wrong results with resload_ExNext introduced in 18.3, e.g. game Ork Attack (Psygore) fix: in version 18.3 a CMD_STOP/FLUSH/START of input.device was added, this seems to cause problems on some configurations, to avoid them the code has been removed again chg: cpu cache handling in kickemu changed, there are new options CACHECHIP and CACHECHIPDATA, the behavior of option CACHE has been reverted to pre HDLoad release 18.3, with option CACHE all caches are enabled for expansion memory if MMU is used, with option CACHECHIP the instruction cache will be enabled for all memory independent from from WHDLoad's MMU usage, option CACHECHIPDATA will enable data and instruction cache for all memory, if no CACHE* option is set the cache are disabled now, in previous releases the cache setup wasn't modified which resulted in WHDLoad's default cache setup where inst/data cache is enabled for ExpMem/Slave if MMU used - similar to option option CACHE where additionally the 68060 stuff is enabled (branch cache, superscalar, write buffer), please consult also the provided kick.readme chg: kickemu kick13.s has been modified to work with data cache in chip memory, gfx.Text now uses the cpu to clear the temporary buffer instead the blitter new: macro PL_STR0 added to the patch list commands which will write the given string plus a 0-byte to the destination new: italian keymap added to the docs (thanks Luca Longone) fix: kickfs: with IOCACHE to order of writes is now preserved, in previous releases it was not, which could cause switches to the operation system on resload_SaveFileOffset because offsets outside the current filesize chg: if SplashDelay=0 and ConfigDelay>0 the splash window is opened if there is a config (Juuso Salmijärvi) chg: the local option Config now overwrites a config string contained in the Slave chg: option Preload/S can also be used in the global configuration file fix: using Snoop on the 68030 the fire button bits in cia.ddra can be set to output mode now (reading joypad), previously this was only allowed on 68040/60 (StingRay) chg: BaseMemory is now allocated in possible three parts to reduce memory requirements if higher areas of chip memory are already used by the system new: a segtracker modul has been added to all kickemu variants, equal to the known utility SegTracker by Michael Sinz this will track all loaded executables, WHDLoad will use this information to display name and offset in all error messages, this will make it easier to locate causes for malfunctions in kickemu installed programs chg: the calculation of exec.ChkSum in kick12/13.s has been fixed fix: if SegTracker was used and no matching segment was found WHDLoad displayed sometimes some garbage, this has been fixed chg: all the sources provided by JOTD has been updated to the latest level, nonvolatile.s has been removed because the sources are now using the nonvolatile.s provided by WHDLoad, thanks to JOTD chg: WHDLoadGCI allows now opening a new memory window from the address under the cursor in a memory window, a bug in partial extraction of Base/ExpMemory has been fixed chg: a patch has been added to all kickemus to disable the key repeat of the input.device after a switch to the operating system, this should avoid problems on first time save operations triggered by a keypress new: the splash window can also be closed now pressing the fire button on the joystick in port #1 new: a new special quit key has been added which quits by pressing Reverse, Forward and Play together on a joypad chg: WHDLoad no longer tries to open the audio.device, there was not much benefit from it and to leave it avoids any requesters if already open by another application Additionally, the following installers have been added until March 2nd, 2019: 2019-03-01 improved: Bubble Bobble (Firebird) support for 2-button joystick and joypad added (Info) 2019-02-25 improved: Superfrog (Team 17) joypad control added, floppy version chip memory reduced (Info) 2019-02-24 improved: Battle Squadron (Innerprise) joystick 3rd button supported, CUSTOM3=1 to detect automatically if a joystick/pad or mouse is connected, CUSTOM4=1 to skip the blitter wait patch (Info, Image) (snx) (Translation: dr) [News message: 03.
