A new patch for Icaros Desktop 1.3.3 is ready. It updates AROS system files to Jan 8, 2012 and adds two important features: all fixes to Wanderer from the paper-cuts initiative, and direct compatibility to Amiga M68K games and demos on ADF files, thanks to the free AROS M68K KickStart replacement. More informations and download locations on the Icaros website at http://www.icarosdesktop.org.

What's new since patch 01

- all Paper-Cuts initiative bug fixes now included
- added transparency to icons while dragging them
- added support for AmigaOS 4 format icons
- added the iconify function
- comments now work as expected
- view mode for drawers can now be snapshotted
- fixed dragging of icons in detail view mode
- icons don't overlap anymore in plain mode
- icons don't "jump on the left" anymore when dragged
- dragging icons on left-out icons don't crash the system anymore
- fixed background of icons moved elsewhere on the desktop
- some little fixes for LiveUpdater
- added AROS M68K Kickstart replacement to AmiBridge
- AmiBridge has been modified to support AROS Kickstart

I truly believe AROS is the future for AmigaOS. Not MOS or OS4, but AROS.
In the long run, I think it will be easily proven.

For now it's limited to games or demos coming on ADF files, not for common Workbench programs. For the latters you still need integrating Amiga Forever into Icaros Desktop with AmiBridge scripts. But it's crearly a starting point. The final goal will be offering AROS 68K as a complete alternative to Amiga Forever, but it's a long way to walk.

Great avatar! From time to time I clear the dust to my The Neverhood box and play again the whole game. It was genious.

Online updating works for Icaros updates only, not for patches. You have to download them separately and use the 'File' option instead. Sorry for that, but updating scripts are very basic and, until I found some volounteer writing a better updating system, we have to deal with its limitations.
