OnyxSoft’s Annotate 3.3.1 has arrived with a polished, feature-packed editing experience for AmigaOS 3.x, 4.x, MorphOS, and AROS users. This update revitalizes one of the Amiga community’s most trusted tools, offering practical improvements with a familiar feel.
Created by Doug Bakewell and now maintained by Daniel Westerberg, Annotate remains a reliable choice for text editing on both classic and next-generation Amiga systems. The new release improves usability and performance while preserving the editor’s original character.
Key Features and Improvements
Annotate 3.3.1 delivers a strong mix of features for writers and developers. It includes syntax highlighting, vertical block selection, and unlimited undo and redo. Users can shift text left or right, fold sections, and record macros for quick repetitive edits.
The program also supports the Arexx scripting language, adding flexibility for users who automate tasks. It handles printing, text locking, and even includes a multi-functional scroll bar. Together, these tools make it well suited for large projects and detailed text work.
Open Source and Community Support
One of the biggest changes is its new open-source status. Annotate 3.3.1 is now released under the GNU GPL license by request of its original author. The full source code is available in a separate archive, inviting new developers to contribute and extend its lifespan.
This move shows the community spirit that continues to define Amiga software. By opening the code, OnyxSoft ensures that Annotate will keep improving with community input.
A Reliable Tool for Amiga Enthusiasts
Annotate 3.3.1 reinforces OnyxSoft’s dedication to practical Amiga utilities. It’s compatible with multiple systems, easy to script, and efficient to use. For writers and coders seeking a modern Amiga text editor that stays true to its roots, Annotate remains the ideal choice.
