Le novità sono molte e la compatibilità con le applicazioni che giravano con la vecchia release 1.0 dovrebbe essere stata mantenuta.
New in this release:
--------------------
* Support of programs compiled for GTK+ 2.24 and GTK+ 3.x. Ports of current
software projects are possible now. All new packages for AmiCygnix will
depend on it. As an advantage these programs do have a better performance,
for example because of the now working icon cache.
* A new (experimental) display driver is included, which opens a X11 display
in a workbench window: "picasso96wb". Compared to the older driver for this
purpose "picasso96pip" (overlay windows), this driver uses standard intui-
tion windows. Because of this, more than one display can be opened on the
workbench at the same time.
As a disadvantage the performance of the driver sometimes a bit low, but on
the other hand moving windows is faster compared to the other drivers.
* The X server and the display drivers were revised. The server can now be
launched several times without problems. Especially with the new driver this
is an interesting feature. But also with the other drivers applications can
be opened on it's own screen without the desktop environment.
* All new programs with an own directory in the AmiCygnix "Software" directory
will have two start scripts: One for opening the application on the desktop
(just like before) and a script, which opens the program in an own display.
* With a special version of the settings editor "myX11Setup" you can select
the display driver and the window manager for every application, which is
launched with the new start script. Many thanks to Michael Christoph
(Meicky-Soft)!
* A new icon theme in AmgaOS 4.1 style is included. It is conformable to the
"Freedesktop Icon Theme Specification".
Nearly all icons of this theme were created by Martin Merz (Mason). Many
thanks for the permission to include them in my package.
* The workbench icons are now all in AmigaOS 4.1 style. Nearly all of them
were created by Martin Merz (Mason) and Thomas Blatt (tommysammy). Also
many thanks for this!
* On every start of an applications the main dependencies are checked. If
something is missing, it will be installed or the user will be noticed about
the problem.
* Version 1.0 of AmiCygnix could not be installed on partitions formatted with
the filesystem JXFS. This is now solved.
* Most of the programs and libraries used in this package were replaced by
current versions.
* Better support of the MIME system.
* The X server supports a special "Quick Transfer" mode. Refer
"AmiCygnix-en.guide" for this.
* The X server includes now the MIT screensaver extension.
