Software News   Software News : Hollywood 7: Eternity out now!
   posted by softwarefailure on 19-Mar-2017 12:59:37 (5332 reads)
In the year of Hollywood's 15th anniversary, Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are back on your screen with Hollywood 7: Eternity. Hollywood 7.0 is a massive update with many new features and bug fixes. The most important new feature is full support for Unicode and native support for 64-bit CPUs on Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. This is especially useful on Linux because using 32-bit binaries on a 64-bit Linux is quite a hassle. On top of that, there are lots of other new features.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of new features in Hollywood 7.0:

* Unicode is now fully supported!
* Lots of new functions for dealing with Unicode text
* Hollywood is now available in native 64-bit versions for Windows, Linux, Mac OS, and iOS
* Mac OS and iOS backends have been completely rewritten, they are a lot faster now!
* High resolution ("Retina") displays now fully supported on Windows, Mac OS, and iOS; Hollywood is ultra-crisp in 4K modes now
* New hardware-accelerated full screen scale mode
* Faster drawing on Windows and Mac OS
* Lots of new features in the iOS backend
* Support for conditional compiling at preprocessor level
* Switch-Case statement supports fall through now
* Text can now be laid out in justified lines
* Lots of improvements in the IDE on Windows (e.g. direct help and syntax highlighting for functionality provided by plugins)
* Multi-coloured vector paths are now supported
* Live resizing on Windows and Mac OS
* Time-stamped events
* New example scripts
* 70 new pages of PDF documentation, now 924 altogether!
* Lots of other changes, optimizations and bug fixes

Hollywood 7.0 is the ultimate Multimedia experience and a must-have for all creative people. Hollywood is available on CD and as a download version. Both versions include Hollywood for all supported platforms (except the Android and iOS versions). It is no longer necessary to buy separate licenses for the different platforms. Buying Hollywood gives you a single-user license for all 15 platforms supported by Hollywood. If you already own Hollywood, you can buy a discounted upgrade version. People who bought Hollywood 6.1 in 2017 can request a free upgrade.

Hollywood is the ultimate bridge between all the different AmigaOS compatible platforms and the other three modern desktop systems, Windows, Mac OS, and Linux! Additionally, Hollywood also supports the Android and iOS platforms. A truly unique feature is the ability to cross-compile native executables for many different platforms including: AmigaOS3, AmigaOS4, WarpOS, MorphOS, AROS (x86), Windows (x86, x64), Mac OS X (x86, x64, ppc), and Linux (x86, x64, ppc, arm). You don't even have to own these platforms in order to compile executables for them. It's enough to run Hollywood on one of the supported platforms and then compile programs for all the others! Only Hollywood makes it possible. If you want to learn more about Hollywood, please visit the the official Hollywood portal which also has a forum for all questions concerning Hollywood.

All this makes Hollywood The Cross-Platform Multimedia Application Layer. Join the Multimedia revolution and get your personal copy of Hollywood 7: Eternity now!

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

No Aros software has to be compiled for every target platform. X86 binaries do not work on X64

I really hope that once the x64 ABI1 is finalised there will be a version of Hollwood compiled for it; combining the multimedia capabilites of Hollywood with the speed boost of multiple cores running on a naturally nippy OS should give pretty awesome results.

Cheers,
Nigel.

Hi All,

Today I have written a short blog post about Hollywood 7 on the X1000 if anyone is interested:

https://amigax1000.blogspot.com.au/2017/03/hollywood-7-on-x1000.html

Includes the results of my poor attempts at Hollywood coding

I hope you enjoy it.



Catcha,
Epsilon

Hollywood is really fantastic!

I'm still using it with Designer to create my Dental Info software. It is very stable - the sourcecode for my project is 99mb (the hwd-file) and about 180mb for the .hws-file. Still both Designer and Hollywood have no problems at all creating a stable, working executable. And believe me - Dental Info is a pretty complex Designer-project!

By using vector-gfx it is also possible to get stunning visuals. Everything related to Dental Info is created in Designer, with some additional code written by the master himself, Andreas Falkenhahn. We recently finished Dental Info 6.0 - take a look here:

http://www.ferrule-media.no/dental-info/

I will recommend the Hollywood-package to every breathing amiga-user. Buy the Designer-package as well, and you can create lot of fun stuff without any knowledge about coding (i can't code a single line myself, and have still been able to create a market leading software using Designer).

Best regards
Torgeir

Hi Elwood:)

Yes, Hollywood is so rich in features that it can be used for a wide range of products.

In addition to Dental Info, we still make our infochannel Dental Kanal using Designer. Even when creating our Dental Web-product we used Hollywood to convert our infochannel-presentations in to movie-files.

The biggest reason for using Hollywood is still the amazing support from Andreas Falkenhahn. We have been in need of a lot of strange, new features in both Hollywood and Designer to be able to create Dental Info, and Airsoft Softwair is always glad to help us. Even our most crazy feature-requests have been met by a smile and a fix within a few days. Andreas Falkenhahn is by far the most talented coder i have ever been lucky enough to work with!

Torgeir :)
