With the author's (Massimo Tantignone) permission, I have uploaded another Compositing demo program to os4depot.net - this time, the Dice demo that was featured in one of the screenshots I did for the AmigaOS 4.1 press release.

As before, it requires AmigaOS 4.1 Enjoy!

We're pleased to announce that after half a year of hard work, the long-awaited, new, full AmiKit has finally been released.

Main features include:
- a fresh new look
- support of new 24bit themes (11 included!)
- support of Amiga Forever 2008
- choice of two automatic installers for Linux platforms
- and much more...

For everybody interested, I have uploaded two small demo programs to os4depot.net that show off some of the possibilities of the compositing engine of AmigaOS 4.1. Don't expect any miracles, though, they're very simple and just there to show that compositing goes beyond rounded corners

AmigaOS 4.1 required!

Developers! .....yes, ....you!

Have you have ever thought how you would really like to make your mark on AmigaOS?, maybe even have your work published as part of it?

If so, openamiga.org may be able to help.

Designed from scratch, openamiga.org offers a developer community portal, discussion forums, project management and source code repository all in one central place.
Projects included at openamiga.org are targetted purely at AmigaOS 4.x, and are submitted with the intention of becoming part of the operating system once mature enough.

If you are a developer interested in contributing to the future of AmigaOS, why not drop in and see if you can help out at OpenAmiga.org

AISS 4.3 is available on the AISS section of the Masonicons website.

Features:
- more than 2,000 toolbar images and animations
- 24 bit PNG images with 8 bit alpha channel
- updated PDF documentation
- AmiUpdate support
- real transparence for ghosted images

Warning! The installation process may take some time and no progress requester will be displayed.

Minimig update: Updated cores by Jakub Bednarski now available for download. These cores behave differently from my latest cores so read the readme first. Jakub's version fixes many bugs and finally adds floppy write support!

The following articles have been added to the website of the French Amiga/MorphOS magazine Obligement (http://obligement.free.fr) during the last two months :

If you have a backlog of crunched OCR25 done then you need to submit it now. The effort could end in just 5 days.

Seems that these last stubs have very few permutations and ~6,500,000 of ~26,600,000 packets of stubspace 7 were done yesterday. Read the rest for full details.

The statistics server was offline for 3 days, and it's back now with that shocker.
