Lunapaint v0.3.1 is out

[m0ns00n]

I released the latest version of Lunapaint yesterday, with a number of new features. This is a major release in many ways and is the last release without sources. Next version will be released under an open source license.

Some of the changes are:
 * Full layer control with opacity/visibility/naming
 * Speedier blending with optimalizations
 * No more crashing on loading invalid project files
 * Text tool (only linux hosted at the moment)
 * DPaint like keyboard shortcuts

More to come! Check out the site at:

And the download is at

Have fun!  ;-)

Thanks :-) Good to hear some enthusiasm! It motivates. Anyway, when the source comes out it will be possible (if somebody lends a hand with the porting on their hw) to run this on MorphOS and AmigaOS3/4 as well. I think this is what most people have been wanting anyhow.

But for me I will focus on the AROS code for the most part. Hopefully MUI doesn't deviate too much from Zune (or vica versa).

Lunapaint will be a nice mix between TVPaint and DPaint on Amiga and something extra - modern features but without the bloat. I'm a graphician myself, so I'm working constantly with improving the GUI so it doesn't get in my way.

The next release I'm making is gonna be open source, so after that, people will be able to sign up to the sourceforge site and join in to port it to OS4 and OS3.9 or MorphOS.

The app is gonna be all free - it is important to have such a tool on the Amiga platform so that we can get more demos and games and art all in all! Amiga was a lot about art, so.

Amiga is now a platform like Unix. On Unix, you have Linux, BSD and Solaris etc. On Amiga, you have MorphOS, AmigaOS and AROS. We can coexist and should share our developments to guarantee a future for this way of thinking. Apps like Lunapaint is gonna give the odds some boost I hope.
