- Better progression indicator when you update a list.
- Fixed many display bugs

AmigaOS 4: PDFToolkit 1.0
Lazar Zoltan's PDFToolkit - it is not to be confused with pdftk from the Linux-world - can merge PDF-documents or split them into single documents. Additionally it can combine two or three PDF files by stamping over or add header/footer/page numbering to existed documents keeping the contents intact.
PDFToolkit was written in Python. Therefore the user-interface (screenshot) could not be realized with Reaction. The program requires the basic Python installation as well as the pyPDF-module written by Mathieu Fenniak.

Hollywood and Hollywood Designer: Online store to close on July 31th, 2012
Andreas Falkenhahn wrote: "Due to personal reasons the Airsoft Softwair online store has to close at the end of July 2012. This means that no more orders can be processed after 31th July, 2012. Thus, everybody who doesn't own Hollywood or Hollywood Designer yet (or still needs the upgrade to the latest versions) should take the opportunity to secure himself a personal copy of this amazing multimedia software NOW because the store will go down on July 31th, 2012. The download versions are delivered instantly via email/WWW download and the CD versions of Hollywood and Hollywood Designer come in a nice digipak. Thank you for your continued support over the last 15 years!"
Upon request of amiga-news.de Falkenhahn explained that there will be support for his products. Updates and new plugins will be published in future as well.
