Title: AmiKit updated. Happy Easter!
Post by: AmiKit on April 06, 2015, 02:06:28 PM

AmiKit is a free project, powered by enthusiasm, that turns your computer, tablet or phone into legendary Amiga. It includes more than 350 of the finest applications.

We've updated several components in this 8.4 release.

MUI4 got new pointers - hover your mouse over a link or column separator to see what we are talking about. A number of custom classes have been updated to the latest versions too.

WHDLoad, the ultimate game loader, is now able to update itself! From now on, your old games will always get a fresh support :)

System libraries like OpenURL, CodeSet and IconLib have been updated too.

And last, but not least, we've improved Polish and Russian language support in AmiKit. There are more catalogs and better fonts now. Enjoy!

Greetings and thanks to Mikhail Malyshev, Bernd Roesch and Artur Jarosik.

Great job as always, but I'm interested in this part. How does it update its self, have I missed a version that does this?

@Lurch

WHDLoad doc says:
"Using an request to the WHDLoad website it will be checked if a newer version of WHDLoad or the installed program (Slave) has been already released...If a newer WHDLoad release exists the splash window will show the version number and the release date of the most actual WHDLoad release."
