Airsoft Softwair are very proud to annouce the immediate availability of Hollywood 4.5 (Codename: Snowflake). This is a huge update which brings along many new features and general improvements over Hollywood 4.0. In this update we paid special attention to all the wishes that reached us from the ever growing Hollywood community. We carefully listened to all these requests and tried to realize as many wishes as possible.

Among the countless new features in Hollywood 4.5 is the ability to open multiple windows with Hollywood (scripts are no longer limited to a single window!), fonts can be embedded into executables (it's no longer necessary to install them first), windows can use alpha channel transparency, hardware accelerated transition effects (only on AmigaOS 4.1 and MorphOS 2), full clipboard support, load and save GIF animations, save AVI videos, drag' n' drop support, and much much more.

Various articles have been added to the website of the French Amiga / MorphOS magazine Obligement (http://obligement.free.fr) during the last two months. The most notable ones include a tutorial on how to enhance your Mac Mini experience in general and how to boot MorphOS from a USB drive on a Mac Mini G4.

Stable release of SCANdal (scanner frontend) 1.3 is now available.

What's new:
- Autocrop (works best with LineArt mode)
- Autoconnect tooltype, Connect button
- TIFF and PDF saver
- Fixed JPEG saver
- Sketch plugins support (NOTE: do not use plugins from MorphOS 2.4, latest plugins are included in SCANdal archive, plugins don't work with 1.4.5)
- Fixed Mode list (for gt68xx d river)
- Fixed DPI Radio (for gt68xx driver)
- Settings window
- Autoincrement filenames

The Aminet team contacted Paolo "The Alien" Cattani and were granted the permission to host and redistribute the MorphOS version of Virtual Grand Prix 2.

If you enjoy this game, please consider making a Paypal donation to: donations@virtualgrandprix2.com

When discussing the Aminet upload with the Aminet team, Mr. Cattani pointed out that even a MorphOS port of VGP3 might be considered, but that he's not promising anything and that "there are some technical issues about that".

For high resolution textures that significantly improve the looks of Virtual Grand Prix 2, have a look at Jason Frabotta's VGPHD project: http://www.siniscope.com/vgphd/
