Icaros 2.2.2 now available for download

Icaros Desktop 2.2.2 has been releasead! It took a long time, but a new milestone has been reached. This version includes a preliminary version of Janus-UAE2, Oliver's port of WinUAE to AROS, compiled for ABIv0. There are many features still missing, including support to some ROMs and all the coherency stuff, but fans of emulation should be really curious about this new Amiga emulator, which is being brought to AROS. In the (far, but hopefully not so far) future, Janus-UAE2 will replace Janus-UAE in AmiBridge, so please test it and report to Oliver bugs and suggestions. Janus-UAE2 is currently available in the Live! edition only, and it is placed in Extras:Emu drawer.

Look in the centre and say welcome to Janus-UAE2 user interface!

That's not, obviously, the only news here. As anticipated, we've polished Icaros' user interface and added some useful new actions to Magellan buttons, using the middle mouse button. In particular, it is now possible to calculate and show size for directories and to add files to TAR archives, other than LHA and ZIP as usual. Thanks to Yannick Erb, both ZunePaint and ZuneView can now save images to ILBM formats, which were very popular in the age of classic Amiga. This will hopefully make adding new buttons to Magellan easier! ;-)
