Update 2.1.1 for Icaros Desktop has been released. Mainly a bug-fix release, this new version includes OWB 1.25, fixes VICE crashes on exit and restores HDToolBox missing text. It also includes some updated AROS system components which were erroneously left outside Icaros Desktop 2.1.

Icaros Desktop 2.1.1 comes in the usual flavours: Icaros Desktop Live!, tailored for DVD-ROM media and provided with an already configured QEMU virtual machine for Windows; Icaros Desktop Light, the "core system" which can easily fit on a CD-ROM and a small pendrive; and a Update Pack for current Icaros 2.1 users.

New from Icaros 2.1
- Updated OWB to final release 1.25
- Updated VICE ermulators to version 2.4 (n/a on Light version)
+ Fixed crashing on exit
- Fixed HDToolBox right panel text
- Updated LiveUpdater
+ fixed bug with user-startup being moved to RAM: without motivation
+ Updates are now performed at startup, when no program is running

The latest version of AROS distribution Icaros Desktop has been released. V2.1 consolidates the 2.0.x codebase with many bugfixes and additions, above all a new version of OWB supporting HTML5 videos (YouTube.com and others). This release also includes handlers for NTFS-3G and exFAT partitions, and can now access (in read-only mode) your Google Drive account, simplifying its configuration with a dedicated Prefs tool (coded in LUA by Icaros team).

Hi,

in case you missed the news:
AEROS beta 9 for Raspberry Pi1 and 2 is available for registered users
at www.aeros-os.org

The Subversion repository with the source code of AROS has found a new home on a server which is maintained by Neil Cafferkey und Staf Verhaegen. Since the URL didn't change existing working copies can furthermore be used.

That should solve the problem that in the past it took weeks to get an account. The new procedure for getting an account is here.

A new version of Icaros Desktop is now available for download. It refreshes AROS files to current ABIv0 nightly builds and fixes themes and locale files, which were broken in v2.0.2. It also introduces a couple of nice new features, like italian translation for DirectoryOpus 5 and YouTube Center script, which allows users to download videos from YouTube with OWB, in a very customizable fashion.

The second "major release" of Icaros Desktop, your beloved AROS distribution, is now available for download. After 18 months of hard work, many internal beta releases and countless of additions and bug fixes, it brings a completely new interface based on DirectoryOpus 5 Magellan, a more polished M68K environment for classic Amiga games and applications, many new applications (among of them: ZuneView and ScalOS), and the faster TLSF memory manager recently introduced in AROS.

Hello,

i just want to inform you about ongoing projects and new products around AROS and Amiga in general.

Airsoft Softwair is happy to announce the immediate availability of Hollywood 5.3. Version 5.3 is a major update which includes several new features as well as important bug fixes. Most new functionality is introduced in the Android version which comes with a fully native Java-based GUI now, supports many new commands from the desktop versions and has hardware-accelerated scaling now. But also the desktop versions of Hollywood have improved with release 5.3. Here is a brief overview of new features in 5.3:

As every year : )
There is one change... it is the first time based on Intel technology.

You can ask for i3, i5 and Intel XEON E2.

Version 1.5 of the popular AROS distribution Icaros Desktop is now available for download. The new release heavily reworks file structure, installation procedure and M68K environment, which can now run both games from ADF files and classic Workbench applications without the need for original Amiga KickStart and operating system.
