Amiga Imager v0.91

Beta - macOS 14+, Apple Silicon and Intel. Current downloadable build: 260712.

What stands out in v0.91

v0.91 builds directly on the native disk-engine work from v0.90 and takes it much further. For PiStorm users, this is the first release where the image path is now fully native from end to end: RDB, FAT32, FFS, and PFS3 are all handled inside the native engine.

• Fully native PiStorm builds - the remaining external imaging-tool dependencies are gone from the PiStorm path, including FAT32 boot-partition creation and native partition resolution.
• Native PFS3 support - PFS3 formatting, file I/O, and handler registration are now built into the native engine and have been boot-validated on real PiStorm hardware.
• Custom packages by URL - you can now add your own package archives in Settings and have them installed through the same build pipeline as the built-in catalog.
• Per-package WBDock selection - WBDock entries can now be chosen individually so the finished Workbench dock only shows what you actually want there.
• Faster and cleaner package handling - direct-download packages now go straight to the right source, MD5 checks are used where available, and archive extraction is faster.

Important rebuild note

v0.91 fixes the header layout used for long-filename DOS\7 volumes. That matters because images built with v0.9 or v0.90 could end up with Work partitions that behaved incorrectly on real hardware, even if the image looked fine at first. If you built a DOS7-based image with one of those versions, it should be rebuilt with v0.91.

Workbench and first-boot polish

This release also improves what the finished system looks and feels like after the build:

• Programs drawers without curated icon coordinates now auto-arrange instead of piling up randomly.
• Work and extra data volumes now show the correct hard-disk icons again.
• Drawer icons for simpler package installs now use the normal Workbench drawer style instead of mismatched converted app icons.
• Script and binary protection-bit handling is safer, which helps avoid strange requesters and startup failures on first boot.

App improvements

Exported logs are now complete and easier to work with, including builds that are still running or sessions that only involved flashing. The app also no longer reports several successfully installed packages as "skipped" in the build log.

Why this matters

v0.91 is less about new surface area and more about finally making the new engine feel complete in daily use. For PiStorm users in particular, this release removes another big layer of old-tool dependency and makes the current build path more consistent, more testable, and easier to trust.
