Scalos v41.4 Released

[Paul]

Brand-new Scalos V41.4 is now available for download!! - Scalos, is a desktop replacement for the Amiga. They are also proud to present the very first Scalos V41.3 alpha version for AmigaOS4. Archives for both AmigaOS 68K and MorphOScan be downloaded from the Scalos Downloads page.

New in 41.4:

• Improvement: Added optional drop menu to allow comfortable selection between copy, move, or create-link operation
• Improvement: Added optional icon images for popup menus
• Bugfix: errors on link creation were never reported
• Improvement: In German translation, replaced all "link" by "Verknüpfung"
• Improvement: Added single-window lasso mode, with scrolling window contents
• This mode is invoked by dragging mouse with configurable qualifier key
• Bugfix: Text icon selection was drawn incorrectly if "Name column selects text icons" was on and window was scrolled horizontally
• Bugfix: Text icon lasso selection used to ignore "Name column selects text icons" flag
• Improvement: Added support for backfilled thumbnail icons, with selectable color and transparency
• Improvement: lifetime of cached thumbnail icons is now configurable for each drawer. Lifetime may now be set to "forever".
• Improvement: Added option to always generate square thumbnail icons.
• Improvement: Added ability to scale background images without guigfx.library.
• Improvement: Added new parameter options for menu CLI commands. "%w" inserts path name of current window, "%d" inserts device name of argument icons (useful for "eject" tool).
• Bugfix: Corrected naming of Scalos main process "Workbench" - should fix all remaining path inheritance problems.
• Improvement: Added jpegpicture.pvplugin thumbnail generator for JPEG images. Thumbnails are generated 2 to 3 times faster than with default thumbnail generator
• Improvement: Added filetype-specific preview (=thumbnail) generation plugin system. Standard defpicture.pvplugin behaves exactly like previous build-in thumbnail generation
• Improvement: Windows are now updated immediately when drag-drop copying icons, moving icons, or creating links
• Improvement: Borders around tooltip bubbles are now drawn with antialiasing (GFX card required)
• Bugfix: Applying popup menus to all selected icons didn't work with a single icon under the mouse pointer that hasn't been selected before clicking RMB
• Improvement: Added new user setting to always apply popup menus to every selected icon, regardless of qualifier
• Improvement: Added selectable transparency for tooltip bubbles. Improvement: Clicking into startup splash window causes it to close immediately
• Added setting: Switch on/off the displaying of image thumbnails to be shown if they have no icons
• Improvement: SQL tables are initialized each time the database is opened, so the thumbnail database can be safely renamed or deleted anytime, and Scalos creates new database next time a drawer is opened
• Improvement: Moved image scaling and dithering code to shared library scalosgfx.library

Superb! I take it this is not a beta, which means Bloodwych finally has a decent reason to update classicWB

I'm not sure if this is final or beta ...Looking at the download page it's listed under the beta section.

Edit: I'm even more confused now. On the download description it says "This is the complete V41.4 archive with the latest BETA release of the Scalos executable. "
