Software News : AmiCygnix V1.1 released
Posted by cygnusEd on 2012/6/21 18:07:26 (1258 reads) News by the same author
Software News

A new version of the AmiCygnix packages AmiCygnix-Base and AmiCygnix-Tools are now available on OS4-Depot. An existing installation of AmiCygnx 1.0 can be updated - older software package can still be used.
Upcoming AmiCygnix software will depend on this new version.


AmiCygnix is a Unix environment, which makes it easy to port Unix software with or without a GUI.


The main enhancements in the base package:

  • Support of programs compiled with GTK+ 2.24 and GTK+ 3.x.
  • A new (experimental) display driver, which opens the X11 display in a normal intuition window on the workbench.
  • The X server can now be launched several times without problems. So you can now - for example - launch several applications separately on the workbench.
  • Upcoming software and included programs in the "Software" drawer provides a new script for a standalone start in an own window or screen. A special version of myX11Setup is included for this.
  • A new icon theme for AmiCygnix programs in AmigaOS 4.1 style.
  • All workbench icons in these packages are now in AmigaOS 4.1 style.
  • The previous version of AmiCygnix could not be installed on partitions formatted with JXFS. This bug is now solved.


    • The optional tools package contains newer versions of the so far included software and a new settings editor for the desktop background (all compiled with GTK+ 2.24):

  • The file manager "ROX-Filer 2.10"
  • The web browser "NetSurf 2.8"
  • The text editor "Leafpad 0.8.18.1" with UTF-8 support
  • The image viewer "GPicView 0.2.2"
  • The PDF viewer "Xpdf 3.03"
  • The settings editor for GTK+ 2 and 3 "LXAppearance 0.5.1"
  • The settings editor for the Openbox window manager "ObConf 2.0.3"
  • The settings editor for the desktop background "Gsetroot 1.1"

    It was time for that, thanks for the update Edgar. Hope that this version is slightly faster too than before.
    Kicko

     Re: AmiCygnix V1.1 released
    Yes, it should be faster. The GTK+ 2.24 port is faster than my previous port of GTK 2.10, the server is a bit optimized and the new display driver for workbench windows should be faster while moving windows and scrolling.

    Don't expect too much, just a few improvements

    many thanks. I'll check it out tomorrow on my A1-X1000. The old version was fast enough, I'll report back on the new update.

    Donation will be forthcoming as well.

    I have downloaded both the base and tools and installed, I have to say very impressed, runs on a better screen resolution (1920 x 1080) and seems much faster.

    Thank you for all the hard work, much appreciated

    Happy testing. And thank you in advance

    @all

    Good news for me, that it seems to work well. It's hard to test such a large project.

    Thanks Edgar. Is there a way to get Pidgin a bit faster?

    The pidgin port is old and in parts obsolete. I would have to make a new port of the current pidgin version using my latest libs. It should be faster after that.
    But there are such so much other programs I want to release, I have not much time to do it, sorry.

    A new version of Pidgin would be very nice. AmiCygnix feels faster and more usable now. I hope we get more programs in the future. Great effort and thanks again.

    Thank you very much! (he, he, I never would )

    @Joeled

    Some new and some updated programs will follow. Maybe also Pidgin - depends on the feedback.
