We've also added 3 music tracks in memory of Paul van der Valk who passed away. He was the author of Medley Sound Editor and Future Player as well as the superb Imploder themes. Hear his truly unique sound thanks to updated HippoPlayer which supports his music format now (as the only player out there!).
Simply launch HippoPlayer, press the Play button and choose a song from the PaulVanDerValk folder. Just keep in mind that one Medley song includes multiple subsongs! For example, Imploder4 includes nine subsongs while the main tune is the very last one :) Same for the Combat song. Use the >| button to play the next subsong (or just press the Right Arrow key).
Oh, and we've added Medley DOpus filetype, so you can simply double-click any .mso music file to play it instantly :)

Special thanks to Philipp Lonke, Nikos Pagonis, Matthew Langtry and others who helped us with this update.
Big thanks to everyone supporting the brave people of Ukraine!

AmiKit XE 11.3.0 (August 2020) - ANOTHER FREE UPDATE TO KEEP YOUR EXPERIENCE SPARKLING :)
Good day, everyone! Today's release includes a bevy of software updates, a handful of fixes, and even a smackeral of new features ;)
Especially Startup-Sequence, which got some love. It is much more robust now, it takes better care of patches and ROM modules depending on your AmigaOS version. It supports kick.rom versions 40 up to 47 (which means it's AmigaOS 3.2 ready too!). As a result, your AmiKit should be even more stable now.
Thank you to everyone who has provided feedback, we love hearing from you!
