Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to present version 2.0 of the PDF plugin for Hollywood. This plugin can be used to create and view PDF documents from Hollywood scripts and contains the most advanced PDF rendering engine available on Amiga systems. The plugin was formerly known as Polybios and was renamed for version 2.0 because the old name caused some confusion. Version 2.0 is a major update which, in the spirit of Hollywood 11 which has lots of optimizations for smaller executables, now contains two separate flavours of the plugin: A full version that includes the full PDF renderer and a light version which is much smaller because it only contains the engine to create PDFs. Furthermore, it's also possible to directly load PDF pages into Hollywood vector brushes now. Finally, the PDF plugin supports the macOS arm64 and Linux arm64 platforms now.

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.

This release was brought to you by Airsoft Softwair - the hardest working men in code business.

Version 2.1 of the ZIP plugin for Hollywood is now available for download. This is a minor update which contains a few new features and bugfixes. Also, the plugin is now available in a version for the Linux arm64 platform.
