AmiQute Challenge 2026

Well, given the fact, that Amiga uses libraries that are cross platform, we now need to reinforce this standard on the rest of the world.

AFAIK there is an $EXTVER tag, but no software uses it:

@jabirulo

Also, since the proposal states "Note that the new version string is Not a replacement for the Amiga version string. It is only a complement and an amiga version string must always be included in the software independent of the original software version.", it is probably not so useful for people who want to make straight ports of stuff with three-part versions without having to change anything.

Best regards,

So in fact one should expect incompatible changes on a version increment.

Now, while we're at it, I would love to admit, that it is totally my mistake, that the version bump had to be made. We could have made it backwards compatible. But we chose the cleaner option with less clutter. Appologies.

This looks to me like the development challenge I did so loooong ago. Good job elfipe.

@elfpipe did an amazing job porting and integrating the QT6 WebView:

@elfpipe

For goodness’s sake, can’t someone move the blue right border to the bottom. QT apps look crazy..

@LiveForIt

IMO having the wider border on the right is preferable to having it at the bottom, as on a widescreen monitor you have way more horizontal area available than you have vertical.

Fantastic work mate!

@LiveForIt

Well, I call parsimony, and the fact that I have done absolutely nothing to prevent the blue bar from going under. As a matter of fact I have followed the logic prepared by whomever took the liberty and do the jumble for the rumble of putting things in certain places in the window-holder factorization entities.

If, on the other hand, parsimony is not an option, I could also give the conceptual argument, that the lower part of the window is where the Qt specific status bars go in QMainWindow driven settings. So it would not be good value of visuality to put another bar there to puke on.

If it is good value to you to keep things straight up and running, I will do absolutely nothing about it. I think there should be an entry on this put in the documentation of the subject - not to clearly cut the differences involved, but rather to haunt you in your sleep, when you least want to see bars of blue turn golden in an abstained vision of corporeal nature in the hidden unknown.

Over and easy.

On my X5000 the animation is really smooth. Sorry, I have just a crappy USB capture device and/or crappy record software.

@FlynnTheAvatar

You did an absolutely amazing job. We can all see everything loud and clear! Nothing is hidden, everything is written - in vast codes of orbital noise, beridden with fearless joy and laughter... Ho-ho-ho! Do the moose dance and join the quest for glory -

IN THE TAQTUC Challenge 2026........(!!)

@elfpipe

Thanks a lot for your kind words. But I managed to capture a smoother version:

@FlynnTheAvatar

That's fabulous! Now - for the devil within me: Could we have some music on top of that?? Not the slightest of what I'm after, so anything will do, just any music at all! Can you do that for me!? Oh the joys of laughter, wo-ho-ho, beyond the wild canyon where the roses grow....!

...And perhaps also tell me: How do people normally upload images in posts here?? I had to let go of my homepage service, so I am left with cloud storage, that doesn't play so well with the [img] function here.

Was about to record same kind of video (alfkil gives me test bins as well), but as Flynn was faster, i only can add that yea, speed is ok. Not slideshow or whatever, pretty ok. Of course can be a bit improved here and here, and a bit more integration with visuals and os4 design can not hurt, but hey hey, that pretty good.

@elfpipe

I added one the free Youtube songs to the video. I hope this fits the moot

@FlynnTheAvatar

Now THAT is really satisfying... I like the mood, it makes me feel so - saturated! It also gives me the impression, that this is something really, really valuable to look at, here in my nightgown getting ready to voluntarily shut down my circuitry until the day tomorrow, where I have to perform dastardly feats against an unbeknownst enemy. I have to say, that is extraordinary! I am just waiting for everyone else to join in and have a caballesque (whatever that is).

@FlynnTheAvatar

Looks it runs really good, looks like load pages pretty fast too.
