`02.Mar.2020` Edgar Schwan (ANF)	AmigaOS 4: X11 environment AmiCygnix 1.5 Edgar Schwan's AmiCygnix is an Unix environment for AmigaOS 4. It is not an emulation but all programs has been compiled for AmigaOS 4. AmiCygnix provides a directory and data structure similar to an Unix installation. In version 1.5 many problems have been solved but there are also new features like a new windows manager and new display drivers. The documentation now is available as PDF file. New in AmiCygnix-Base: This release now includes a new Window Manager called "Dynamic Window Manager" (dwm), recommended for use with programs launched from the standalone scripts. This window manager maximizes the main window of the program and does not add frames to the windows. This avoids duplicate frames, as in a workbench display and the use of the window manager Openbox. A total of seven new display drivers have been added to the package. All drivers that do not use Picasso96 require graphics.library V54! If a workbench display is iconized, the name of the icon now indicates the program started in it, if it was started with a standalone script. The X server did not support special keys like "Page Up" or "Home" found on a PC keyboard. Also the NumLock key was not supported. This has now been implemented (thanks to Stefan Juhas for his hint!). Under certain circumstances, the X server could freeze the entire system when starting or exiting. This particularly occurred in programs that were started with a standalone script. All display drivers have been revised for this and the problems should be resolved. Fixed some bugs in myX11Setup and myX11SetupLight. For some parts of the program, the Italian translation has been updated or recreated. The display drivers xpicasso96clonewb and xpicasso96wb were revised for better performance, especially on 32bit screens. The "lxpanel" desktop panel could crash under certain circumstances. Has been fixed. Also thanks to Samir for the hint! The documentation in the "Docs" directory is now predominantly in PDF format. New in AmiCygnix-Tools: The start scripts have been adapted to the new windows manager. The documentation also now is available as PDF file.

`01.Mar.2020` Achim Pankalla (ANF)	AmigaOS 4: Spreadsheet ignitionOS4 1.00 Achim Pankalla wrote: Under the title link version 1.00 of the spreadsheet "ignitionOS4" is available on the Sourceforge website. For more than ten years ignition has been open source and this is the sixth version of the AmigaOS-4 port. This version no longer is calleds "beta" although it is not completely bug-free and a Grim Reaper might happen. Despite this many functions have been added and about 100 bugs/problems have been removed. By releasing this version a new user-interface and menu layout has been introduced providing a modern look and of course meeting suggestions of the users. For example there now is an export/import menu and the dialog and the procedure of loading and saving was simpliefied. Of course still the user can create his own user-interface. The new icons were added as well. This version has focused on the ARexx and DB functions. Many bugs have been fixed and some new functions added. Many thanks to Helmut Haake for revising the manual which now can be opened on every menu item, dialog and GUI element by using the Help key. For using the ODS import/export you still have to separately install the ign-addon-ods. Many thanks also to all beta testers, bug reportes, translators and supporters! You can get further information in the ignitionOS4 forum on os4welt.de - or you can write an e-mail, also for providing any feedback. (snx) (Translation: dr) [News message: 01.
