• FIXED:         Mounting of ISO images works again - mount them with double-click or right-click > Mount Image or using the VirtualCD app in Start Menu > Apps
• FIXED:         We started using the 68000 version of LZX in the previous update. But we intended that only for creating archives. So now for unpacking the archives the 68020/30 version is used.
• FIXED:         Recent Linux update might render AmiKit super slow. We've added a temporary workaround so the certain Linux libraries are not updated. Many thanks to wiisoldier for this!
• REMOVED: IsoMount as it relies on too many dependencies. ImageMount is used instead (see above).

AmiKit XE 11.9.0 (December 2022) - A MAINTENANCE UPDATE, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

We've fixed a few minor (but annoying) bugs for you before we release a bigger upgrade in 2023.

Btw. did you know you can install new or old Picasso96 into AmiKit very easily by simply placing the new or old archive into the RequiredFiles and rebooting afterwards? Just make sure it is named Picasso96.lha :)

Oh, and do NOT update the Linux environment if everything works :) AmiKit will prompt you to do so if that is really necessary.


CHANGELOG

- CHANGED:  Amiberry refresh rate settings has been changed from "default" to "chipset" for better performance
- ADDED:       The 16bit HiFi audio is set as default AHI mode now
- ADDED:       We added Network Settings launcher into the RabbitHole folder so you can now manage your network connections from AmiKit easily.
- UPDATED:   Fine-tuned Amplifier,AmigaAMP and SongPlayer config so they can handle audio replaying better
- UPDATED:   Another World WHDLoad Slave 2.8 by Harry & JOTD
- UPDATED:   Shell-Startup has been enhanced with some common Linux commands aliases
- UPDATED:   DOpus5 Filetypes for MPEG, AIFF, MAUD and WAVE. Now you can add those audio files to Amplifier too using the right-mouse click & hold menu.
- CHANGED:  Automatic Linux updates are disabled now. You can always update Linux from its start menu if necessary.
- FIXED:         Some older Shell-Startup aliases did not work as intended
- FIXED:         You might have ended up with older WHDLoad version after installing BoingBags or Morpheuz patches
- FIXED:         Temporary folders for JPEG decoding and for other tools are back in T: now
- FIXED:         The Support Forum link in the Linux start menu works now
- FIXED:         Some catalogs files were misplaced.
- NOTE:          Due to a bug in Amiberry AHI routine, currently only Amplifier can replay MP3 files correctly. That will be fixed in future Amiberry update, of course.

Thanks to Dimitris Panokostas, Philipp Lonke, Pi1200, GeoKM, Arczi, Robert Downs and everyone else who helped us with this update!

  Special Amiga37 Limited Edition is available now:
