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.

Amiga Seeding the Success Campaign from DiscreetFX


The Amiga computer represents a lot of firsts in the computer industry but it also represents many missed opportunities. Since the death of Commodore in 1994 the Amiga has descended into dark times. They say you learn most from your failures and not your successes and this is most certainly the case when it comes to Amiga. And yet some good things have happened as well.

The BBC Micro, was microcomputer well known in the 1980s in the United Kingdom and associated with the British education. Designed with colorful graphics, great expandability and quality OS, the BeebEm still have strong fanbase. Now thanks to BeebEm you can enjoy its enormous software base right on your AmigaOne. BeebEm is a BBC Micro and Master 128 emulator.

Over the last few months, I found that the tabs in wookie were messing up on ocassion, and I could never reproduce the errors on demand... until this month! It turned out opening a private tab manually was the cause. It would cause weirdness that eventually led to a crash. It's now fixed!

Unsatisfactory announces a preview/beta release of a AmigaOS 4 native port of NetSurf.

NetSurf is a fast CSS-capable web browser for RISC OS and other systems. This port is incomplete but already supports:

HivelyTracker is a tracker program based upon the AHX format created in the mid '90s by Dexter and Pink of Abyss.
The format was relatively popular, and many songs were created and used in scene productions and games.
AHX was designed to create a very SID-like sound on the Amiga.
