The first public preview of CopperSharp68k is now available.

CopperSharp68k is a closed-world CIL-to-Motorola 68k ahead-of-time (AOT) compiler for C# and other .NET languages.

The compiler currently produces:
  • Amiga HUNK executables
  • 256 KiB and 512 KiB Kickstart ROM images
  • Readable Motorola 68k assembler output
The supported CPU targets are MC68000, MC68020, MC68040, and MC68060.

The Amiga target is intended for Kickstart 1–3 systems. CopperSharp also supports the MorphOS m68k environment, including selected MorphOS m68k ABI extensions and system interfaces. It does not currently generate native MorphOS/PPC code.

Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to announce the immediate availability of version 1.1 of the XAD plugin for Hollywood. This plugin allows Hollywood scripts to open archives using the XAD system. The XAD system is a toolkit designed for handling various file and disk archiver formats which supports many common archiver formats like ZIP, LhA, LZX, CAB, bzip2, TAR, and RAR so that it is a powerful tool for people that have to deal with compressed data a lot. On AmigaOS and compatibles Hollywood's XAD plugin uses xadmaster.library directly whereas on non-Amiga platforms xadmaster is embedded into the plugin.

Version 1.1 is a minor update with some [b9enhancements and important bug fixes[/b]. It is now available for free download from the official Hollywood portal. Thanks to Hollywood's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS3 (m68k), AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, Linux (ppc, arm, arm64, x86, x64), macOS (ppc, x86, x64, arm64), Windows (x86, x64), Android (arm, arm64), and iOS (arm, arm64) are provided.

The MorphOS development team is proud to announce the May 2026 release of the MorphOS Software Development Kit!

This SDK release delivers a major modernization update for the MorphOS development environment, featuring GCC 15.2.0, Python 3.14.4 with pip and virtual environment support, updated HTML documentation, and extensive updates across the toolchain and bundled utilities. Numerous core development components have been refreshed, including binutils 2.45.1, git 2.54.0, OpenSSL 4.0.0, OpenSSH 10.2p1, ffmpeg 4.4.7, perl 5.42.2, cmake 3.18.6, autoconf 2.73, automake 1.18, and many others.

One of the most important changes in this release is the migration of both ixemul and libnix to 64-bit time_t, off_t and fpos_t types, enabling proper support for dates past 2038 and large files throughout the SDK and newly compiled applications. Due to these ABI changes, developers are strongly encouraged to fully rebuild all existing libraries and object files. This release also includes many stability and compatibility improvements, including significant pdksh rework.

Our new SDK can be found in our files section. As usual, a separate source package is available for download as well.

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.
