The silly season just got serious! Airsoft Softwair is proud to present the ultimate 200+ binaries Super Summer Plugin Bash 2015! This is the biggest plugin update in the history of Hollywood! A grand total of 17 plugins have been updated and are now available in brand new versions. Because Hollywood supports so many different platforms, updating 17 plugins means that almost 250 binaries had to be updated, altogether these are over 50 megabytes of new plugin magic! All Raspberry Pi fans will be very happy to hear that all plugins are available in a Linux ARM flavour now too. Linux ARM support was introduced in Hollywood 6.0.

This is the game changer you've been waiting for! Airsoft Softwair is proud to present the next big thing: GL Galore, the ultimate OpenGL® scripting solution for Hollywood! GL Galore is a plugin for Hollywood that allows you to access the OpenGL 1.1 command set directly from Hollywood. This makes it possible to write scripts that utilize the host system's 3D hardware to create high-performance, butter-smooth 2D and 3D animation that is computed completely in hardware by the GPU of your graphics board. This leads to a huge performance boost over the classic Hollywood graphics API which is mostly implemented in software. Especially systems with slower CPUs will benefit greatly from hardware-accelerated drawing offered by OpenGL.

I have just prepared and uploaded SDL 2 archive to Aminet available to all MorphOS users and developers.

There is no SDL 2 ports available yet and SDL 2 port is minimal with only one sublibrary (sdl2_image.library) available. More libraries are available in the future and sdl2_mixer.library is already under works.

It also lacks 3D support at the moment and few subset APIs.

As soon as the archive is accepted by Aminet maintainers it is available for download.

MorphOS 3.8 or newer is required.

Michael "Clyde Radcliffe" Jurisch's Hollywood add-on for Cubic IDE has been updated to support the full Hollywood 6.0 command set now. Furthermore, there have been some bug fixes and optimizations. The hw4cubic plugin allows you to use Cubic IDE as an IDE for Hollywood. The complete Hollywood command set is imported into Cubic IDE so you'll get syntax highlighting, quick command information, hotkey links to the documentation for command under cursor, function list, direct access to the compiler, auto complete and intellisense functionality and much more.

In addition, a Hollywood 6.0 wordfile for the popular Windows text editor UltraEdit is now also available for download on the official Hollywood portal. This wordfile allows you to conveniently edit Hollywood scripts on Windows using UltraEdit.

All downloads are available from the official Hollywood portal.

As many people have already noticed, the recently released Hollywood SDK comes with source codes for several example plugins. Among them are source codes for plugins that enable Hollywood to load PCX images and AIFF sound files. Due to popular demand Airsoft Softwair has now released these two plugins also as binaries for all platforms supported by Hollywood.

You can download the plugins from the official Hollywood portal. Thanks to Hollywood's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS3 (Classic), AmigaOS3 (FPU), AmigaOS4, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS (Intel), Linux (PowerPC), Linux (Intel), Linux (ARM), Mac OS (PowerPC), Mac OS (Intel), Windows and Google's Android platform are provided.

Airsoft Softwair is proud to present the immediate availability of the Hollywood 6.0 SDK. This is the first full release of the Hollywood SDK. Whereas previous versions only contained the necessary header files, the full release also contains an extensive documentation covering almost 350 PDF pages. On top of that, the SDK contains well-commented source codes of example plugins and makefiles for all supported platforms. With this release Airsoft Softwair completely exposes all interfaces for the very first time to enable interested parties to create their own plugins and make Hollywood even more powerful! A new SDK section devoted to plugin development has also been added to the official Hollywood forums. Adding the 850 pages of the Hollywood 6.0 manual there are now almost 1200 pages of documentation which make Hollywood one of the biggest Amiga applications ever. Thanks to the Hollywood documentation system all reference manuals are available as AmigaGuide, HTML, CHM and PDF and can also be viewed online. The SDK is now available for free download from the official Hollywood portal.

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

Three years after the release of Hollywood 5 Airsoft Softwair is proud to announce the immediate availability of Hollywood 6: Epiphany. Hollywood 6 is a massive update with a myriad of new functions. The most important new feature is the complete abstraction of the core components display, audio and DOS. These can now be completely replaced by plugins which opens up totally new possibilities. For example, it is possible to replace Hollywood's inbuilt display driver with a custom implementation now. A plugin, which uses this new interface to make OpenGL available to Hollywood, will be released shortly.

Carsten Siegner has released Hyphen 2.8.8, a static C library for handling dictionary-based hyphenation of words.

Supported hypenation dictionaries can be found here. To use any of them, download only the files with "hyph_" at beginning, unpack them and then use any files with ".dic" at the end.

While DigiBooster 3 replayer routine is available from some time as a static library, having it as shared one has some advantages. First applications using it may be smaller, secondly, updates of the player engine may be installed by users, applications need not to be recompiled. The library may be downloaded from MorphOS Files. The archive also coinatis developer material and source code. The package is licensed on BSD licence.

LibMaker is a GUI based tool generating code skeletons of shared libraries. As such it is the successor of old ChocolateCastle program. After entering specifications of a library and its set of function, LibMaker generates a complete, ready to compile project template, with makefile and standard include files. Version 0.11 can generate a shared library skeleton for MorphOS or for AmigaOS 3 (M68k). Defined library projects may be saved for later reuse or adding new functions. LibMaker preserves existing functions, so library can be developed incrementally. The program features extensive bubble help, so there is less need to look at the manual. LibMaker is distributed with the source code on BSD license and can be downloaded from the MorphOS Files. Future versions of the program will handle BOOPSI and MUI classes, as well as generation of code for AmigaOS 4.
