Christmas would be a cool time to release Icaros Desktop 2... 25! However, who's looking here and installing an OS on Xmas? Maybe we'd better releasing Icaros a few days before! A new, amazing update to Icaros Desktop is now available for everyone. First of all, I have to thank Paul Bloedel for having ported his Icon Editor to AROS. A tool like this was still missing on our platform, but we finally have one and its quality worthed the wait. Icon Editor can import PNG files and other Amiga icon formats, allowing to create double state icons and manage them quickly. Powerful painting and drawing tools are applicable to the picture or the alpha channel, and the editor also includes nice image effects. But this is obviously not the only feature. We now have a much more compatible browser: OWB has been updated to support latest AmiSSL encryption and it seems to be also more stable with current websites. Unluckily, its executable weights 170 MB and, since it wouldn't fit into Icaros Desktop Light, we had to wait for a "stripped down" executable which has been used for the Light edition only. Icaros Desktop 2.2.5 also features some enhancements to the GUI: Magellan can now show the current IP address and calculate MD5 checksum for any file. We also got new versions for many programs like VIM, VAMP, AbkViewer, RNO Effects, Protrekkr (this should fix an annoying bug with native drivers), PlayCDDA and brand new programs like GenerateMD5, AnimWebConverter, Advice and the MiniScheme language. We have also fixed many glitches here and there. In a nutshell, be prepared for the best Icaros Desktop release so far! So what are you waiting for? Head to our DOWNLOAD page to get your copy and become patron to get new releases before anyone else! |
