20 years ago, on April 14th 2004, Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, released the very first version of Hollywood Designer, the ultimate multimedia authoring system for Hollywood. In the following years Hollywood Designer quickly became the must-have software for all users seriously interested in creating state-of-the-art multimedia applications, be it presentations, slide shows, games, or applications. Now, 20 years later, Airsoft Softwair is proud to present Hollywood Designer 7.0, an epic update with lots and lots of new features to properly celebrate the 20th birthday of this marvellous piece of software.

Wayfarer 7.7 is now available from wayfarer.icu and auto-update.

Changes in this version include:

- fixed WebAnimations support
- fixed several issues with the internal refresh loop
- fixed taking screenshots of scrolled-down pages
- file:// handling fixes
- updated libxml2

Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to present a massive new plugin release for Hollywood: Pangomonium - The Ultimate Text Engine for Hollywood. Pangomonium is a plugin of epic proportions and the first plugin only available for Hollywood 10. Pangomonium contains an ultramodern, state-of-the-art text engine that can be used to draw text in almost any language of the world. On top of that, it also supports advanced text features like fonts with colored glyphs. This finally makes it possible to write programs which support emojis on Amiga! Pangomonium is based on the established Pango and Cairo text and vector graphics libraries and also allows you to access the complete Pango and Cairo function set directly from Hollywood scripts. Of course, there is also a high-level interface which allows you to conveniently draw text without having to delve into Pango and Cairo programming. Pangomonium has been two years in the making and is now finally ready for release exclusively for Hollywood 10.0.

Iris 1.21 is now available from iris-morphos.com.

Iris is now able to view and create calendar invites (ICS).

A new privacy feature makes it possible to view HTML emails without downloading any external content (images, css) that may potentially be used to track/identify the recipient.

Wayfarer 7.4 is now available from auto-update.

This update introduces a reworked settings UI, possibility to fine-tune browser settings per 1st component of a URL path as well as fixes of reported crashes.

RNOEffects is an image processing program focused on alpha channel based effects and batch conversion. Highlights of the new version are the Pixel Editor tool and saving images in the palette mode.

Wayfarer 7.2 is now available, with the WebKit engine just 4 days behind the release of WebKitGTK 2.42.4.

2.42.4 addresses crashes in JavaScript, WebCore and several rendering issues.

Please update using the Check for Update & Autoupdate functionality built into Wayfarer.

This is to announce that bug-fix updates for the APNG and Plananarama plugins for Hollywood have just been released. The APNG plugin for Hollywood adds support for loading and saving PNG animations and Plananarama is a plugin that enables Hollywood to run on non-RTG screens on classic Amigas. Both updates are now available for free download from the official Hollywood portal.

Wayfarer 7.0 is now available for download!

This is the 7th time Wayfarer was rebased to a latest stable WebKitGTK, meaning the MorphOS patches have been re-applied to a new branch. This release also marks the project's 4th anniversary.

This has been the most challenging update so far. Several new endian issues have crept into WebKit, with one of them causing an immediate crash when running JavaScript on big endian CPUs. The removal of some of the WinCairo port has also made it more difficult to maintain the MorphOS port. Many of the code paths that the MorphOS port is using aren't being used by the officially supported ports, which requires additional testing and bug fixing.

With this in mind, please show your support by donating to the project.

Version 7.0 is now available for auto-updating, which is the recommended way of installing updates. Please check the history page for the full list of changes in this release.

Wayfarer 6.6 is now available!

This version updates WebKit to WebKitGTK 2.40.5 (and is likely the last update before Wayfarer 7). This build also works around the issues with PayPal and improves performance on websites that abuse DOM timers (especially with throttling enabled in settings).

As always, please update via 'Check for Updates' functionality of Wayfarer.
