Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to present the first plugin exclusively for Hollywood 11: Coderise It's called MP3Enc and allows scripts to use the new sound export interface introduced with Hollywood 11 to encode sound streams as MP3s. Constant and variable bitrates as well as certain quality settings are supported. It's also possible to directly record audio data as MP3 now.

The plugin is available for free download from the official Hollywood portal. Thanks to Hollywood's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS3, AmigaOS4, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS (x86), Linux (arm, arm64, ppc, x86, x64), macOS (arm64, ppc, x86, x64), Windows (x86, x64), Android and iOS are provided. Hollywood 11 is strictly required.

Note that on AmigaOS 3 it's highly recommended to use the FPU version of the plugin because otherwise MP3 encoding will be very slow since the MP3 encoder used by the plugin is heavy on floating point operations.

After almost 3 years of development Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are back on your screen to announce the immediate availability of Hollywood 11: Coderise. Hollywood is a programming language that can be used to create a wide variety of programs, ranging from games and GUI-based applications for desktop systems to mobile apps for Android and iOS. Hollywood's special feature is its support for retro platforms (e.g. AmigaOS, MorphOS, AROS) and modern operating systems (e.g. Windows, macOS, Linux) alike. It comes with a library of over 1000 commands and its functionality can be extended further through over 30 plugins which are available for free download.

Hollywood 11: Coderise is a massive update with lots of new features, optimizations and bug fixes. The most important new feature is that Hollywood 11 finally introduces a modular build system which will only link the libraries actually required by a script to the compiled program. This can drastically reduce executable sizes and is especially important on Amiga systems where memory is often limited. Hollywood 11 finally makes it possible to compile programs that fit on a single 880kb disk and run on a vanilla A1200! The new modular build system is made possible by a brand-new subsystem called Miniwood which, in contrast to Hollywood, allows scripts to only link the libraries actually required by the script to the output executable. Using Miniwood doesn't only have advantages for Amiga users but also for users of other platforms: For example, if scripts don't decide to load the display library, the program will also work on systems without X11, e.g. on pure terminal servers which was previously impossible.

NetFS 3.4 was released!

NetFS is a network filesystem and AREXX ports sharing for MorphOS and Amiga.
Available on Aminet now!

Wayfarer 11 is now available for download.

This version is based on the latest stable WebKitGTK 2.50.0.

Wayfarer 10.6 is now available for download. This version updates WebKit to WebKitGTK 2.48.6 and addresses several major issues.

CSS Gradients are now fixed to render correctly. Settings defaults are now always correctly updated to include latest Youtube presets.

Additionally, the simplified Youtube interface moved from now defunct youtube-nocookie.com onto a self-hosted solution. The first time you navigate to youtube.com or m.youtube.com, you will be asked which interface to pick for video playback. Choose Simple mode to enjoy fast load times on a bare-bones youtube player.

As with the last two events, there will be a special issue of Amiga Future for the Amiga 40 in Mönchengladbach.

The special issue is free for all visitors to Amiga 40 Mönchengladbach and is funded entirely by advertising (thanks to all supporters!) and APC&TCP.

In addition to all important information about the show, there will also be a section in the issue dedicated to supporting Amiga programmers.

This time, we want to include a screenshot gallery in the issue.

Wayfarer 10.0 is now available for download. The new version comes with WebKit rebased to WebKitGTK 2.48.3 (latest stable). As always, automatic updates are recommended.

A lot of work in this release went into improving youtube support, with better auto-quality switching, built-in predefined settings and user-agents. The MediaSource player was rewritten to fix the issues that plagued it in Wayfarer 9. Additionally, Wayfarer can now all automatically redirect all YT video links into youtube-nocookie.com that gives you just the video player, with no comments, recommended and most notably no video ads.

This version also adds HTTP/3 support*
