The first beta of a new modern e-mail client for MorphOS - Iris - is now available for download at tunkki

Iris has been written specifically for MorphOS and utilizes the latest features introduced by the newly released MorphOS 3.10. The program is an IMAP-centered email client that supports OAuth2 for GMail as well as Outlook.com. Moreover,  it finally enables to both display and compose rich HTML emails that feature embedded images and custom styles.

Please note that this is still an early beta version and may contain bugs. For questions and help, please refer to the Iris blog on the forum.

Chelp is a Lua script to fetch and display shell command descriptions from the MorphOS Library wiki. The script is updated for HTTPS connections now, because HTTP support was dropped at the MorphOS Library. Please update earlier installations if you want to get updates to the command descriptions from now on.

The update is available via Grunch or at Aminet.

RNOInfoScreen works as a front-end to various music and media players by displaying the "now playing" information with cover art images, and offers basic media control options for the user (play, pause, next, etc.). It can also be used as a MorphOS screen blanker with the included binary file.

Desktop widgets are small single-purpose utilities placed on your desktop and RNOWidgets is a single application incorporating several of them. RNOWidgets contains widgets for calendar (ISO standard only), analog clock, digital clock, notes, pictures (local and net), and RSS feeds (http only).

Features:

All widgets are freely re-sizeable and movable

15 years ago today, on Nov 5th 2002, Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, released version 1.0 of Hollywood. Back then it was advertised as a "multimedia authoring system" comprising over 150 functions and it was only available for 68k Amigas. It immediately attracted the attention of lots of creative people from all around the world and thanks to the fantastic support of its community Hollywood has grown into a real swiss army knife for all different kinds of purposes. Who would have guessed 15 years ago that Hollywood would evolve into such a beast of a software that runs on over a dozen of different platforms and has lots of plugins that enhance its capabilities even further?

To celebrate Hollywood's 15th anniversary, Airsoft Softwair proudly presents a brand-new version of Malibu, the plugin that enables Hollywood to run Scala scripts. First released in June 2003, Malibu was the first Hollywood plugin and the one that started it all. As a special gift to the Hollywood community for its fantastic support over the last 15 years Airsoft Softwair has decided to make Malibu freely available for everybody. Previous versions were sold commercially but now Malibu is a Hollywood plugin that is provided completely free of charge like all other Hollywood plugins.
