amipkg 0.5.0 (27.7.2026)

The release after 0.4.9/0.4.10 jumps to 0.5.0 — the MUI front-end grew up.

New

  • Redesigned MUI GUI (inspired by DJBase's LumiPass layout — thanks!):
    • Toolbar with grouped actions (catalog ops | package ops | refresh)
    • Sidebar with View (Installed/Available) and Categories panes —
      click to filter, no more cycling through 12 categories
    • Balance bar between sidebar and list — drag to taste, MUI snapshots it
    • Framed description pane, search + sort row above the list
    • Status bar with live counters: Catalog | Installed | Shown
    • Window title shows the running version
    • Stock MUI 3.8 classes only — still zero .mcc dependencies
  • Catalog crossed 200 signed packages, including DJBase's native
    Fallout 1 CE and Fallout 2 CE 68k engine ports (amigaworld.de).

Carried over from the 0.4.x line

  • Lives fully in its own drawer (no assigns, no Startup-Sequence writes);
    optional Install-System integration
  • adopt, self-update via the catalog, Ed25519-verified index updates
  • GadTools GUI feature parity (View/Categories remain cycle gadgets there —
    it must run on a stock 68000 with zero dependencies)

Notes

  • The GadTools front-end intentionally keeps its simpler layout; all
    features stay in lockstep with the MUI front-end.
