The Amiga Future gallery has been extended considerably during the past months.

Especially the past few days we have added sub sections to "Amiga Messen / Shows" and filled them up with entries like Breakpoint and Evoke.

Porting for Profit strikes with yet another quality release!

The Lord of the Rings vol. 1 - Fellowship of the Rings (C) 1993 Interplay

By popular demand, I have updated the xadmaster.library plug-in for 7-Zip to support archives compressed with PPMd.

This support is currently only built into the OS4 compile due to unforeseen problems with the 68k build.

Download or update using AmiUpdate.

1.5 years later... the struggle is over...

Porting for Profit presents...

Free Heroes 2 - a Heroes of Might and Magic 2 remake.

I messed up my release of SDL_Mixer, i added MIDI support and screwed up MP3 and OGG.

I have fixed that now, so if you downloaded the new release (1.2.7-r2) download the new fixed 1.2.7-r3 that i just uploaded. Everything including MIDI works in this version. You can also use AmiUpdate, it will pick the correct working version for you if you have enabled the SDK database.

The latest distcc distributed compiler version is now available for AmigaOS.

Grab it from OS4Depot and start using those non-AmigaOS machines for something useful like compiling AmigaOS software.

With the release of the AmigaOS SDK V53 it was time for an update to the official AmigaOS version of Expat 2.0.1.

Four library flavours are now supported:
1. static clib2 (libexpat.a)
2. static newlib (libexpat.a)
3. AmigaOS library (expat.library)
4. AmigaOS shared object library (libexpat.so)

Expat may help serve as an example for other library authors that want to support all the library flavours available in AmigaOS.

Grab it from OS4Depot.
