`23.Jun.2019` Andreas Falkenhahn (ANF)	Hollywood: PDF-Plugin Polybios 1.1 Press release: Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to present a major update for one of the most popular plugins for Hollywood: Polybios. This plugin can be used to create and view PDF documents from Hollywood scripts and contains the most advanced PDF rendering engine available on Amiga systems. Version 1.1 is a major update which adds support for lots of functionality required by people who would like to write a PDF viewer with Polybios. It is now possible to get text, bookmarks, and links from PDF pages. It is also possible to search PDF pages for a given string and it is also possible to get the position of text inside PDF pages (needed for implementing highlighting). Finally, it's also possible to get metadata from PDF pages. On top of that, there are also some important bug fixes. Polybios 1.1 is provided free of charge for all existing Hollywood users. Please consider buying Hollywood to show your support for our massive development efforts. The plugin is now available for download from the official Hollywood portal. Thanks to Hollywood's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS3 (m68k, m881), AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS (x86), Linux (ppc, arm, x86, x64), macOS (ppc, x86, x64), Windows (x86, x64) and Android (arm, arm64) are provided. WinUAE users please note that you need at least version 4.2.1 because previous versions have a bug in the emulation of Motorola's 68020 CPU which makes Polybios crash.

`16.Jun.2019` Amiga Future (Webseite)	Bootdisk creator: A911USBCopy 1.4 for the Amiga911 Maker Using the Amiga911 Maker you can create bootdisks under AmigaOS 3.0/3.1 which can contain a lot of tools thanks to LZX or XPK. The Amiga which is to boot should be equipped with at least 1 MB Fast-RAM, recommended are 2 MB. Since some of the files included in the archive of ANAIIS 1.18 do not have the rwed protection bits, some problems occured if this USB-stack should be added to the bootdisk. Version 1.4 of A911USBCopy fixed this issue. (snx) (Translation: dr) [News message: 16. Jun. 2019, 20:25] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`16.Jun.2019` Thomas Wenzel (ANF)	Audio player: AmigaAMP 3.24 Thomas Wenzel wrote: This revision has undergone major internal restructuring to make maintenance easier. I've fixed a lot of small old bugs along the way but I can't guarantee that I haven't introduced new ones. However, extensive beta testing has been done to verify the integrity and stability of this new release. The 68k version now inofficially supports OS3.1. If you don't have ClassAct installed you can only use it in skinned mode without the file info window. The preferences tool won't work either. Installing ClassAct v3.3 will enable both the 'ReAction' functionality of AmigaAMP itself as well as the preferences tool. Some GUI elements don't work yet in this configuration. I will fix that in a later release. Have fun! Most important changes: Completely reworked shoutcast streaming code Fixed handling of empty ID3v2 comment fields Fixed drawing of skinned equalizer "AUTO" gadget. But it doesn't do anything. :-) Localized some more strings Fixed older OS4 version compatibility Fixed buffer overflow in MPEG reading routine Fixed redrawing current time display when changing skins Fixed background fill in playlist time display for spaces Refined ID3v2 tag reading and added ID3v2.2 support Fixed updating changed config file Changed layout of info window, added more fields ESC key now also closes the info and the prefs window (snx) (Translation: dr) [News message: 16.
