Accelerator board: First batch of 'Tsunami 1230' delivered
At the beginning of August the developer Miguel Fides had announced a new accelerator board called 'Tsunami 1230' for the A1200. At the beginning of September then a first production run was started. As Miguel announces on the 'The Tsunami Project website, these boards have now been sent not only to the first pre-order customers, but also to selected stores. These include Relec (Switzerland) and Retropassion (UK) as well as Alinea in Germany. When asked, Simon Neumann from Alinea told us that currently, however, no cards have arrived yet.
Those who missed the pre-order campaign for the first production run can still express their interest in the card via Mail.

AmigaOS 4: FTP-Server 'ZitaFTP' 1.30
Hans de Ruiter has released version 1.30 of his commercial FTP server 'ZitaFTP'. He wrote:
"I have a new ZitaFTP Server update for you. This one has a major new feature that's almost invisible (and that's by design). The new feature is: countermeasures against password cracking. It's designed to keep hackers out of your server and your machine, keeping your files safe.
More specifically, it protects against brute-force and dictionary type password cracking attempts. These attempts involve repeatedly trying different username and password combinations until they finally stumble on one that gets them in. It may sound impractical, but remember that these attacks are automated. Without any countermeasures, many password combinations could be attempted automatically per-second. ZitaFTP Server's password cracking prevention slows down and locks out would-be hackers, thereby keeping your files safe.
ZitaFTP Server is currently designed to be an easy to use private network server. It's perfectly capable of being an internet facing FTP server, but deliberately haven't added that ability to the UI. That's because the internet is a risky neighbourhood.
In the physical world, thieves can rattle windows and doors at night, looking for one that's loose (had that happen in Toronto one night). If they find a loose one, they sneak in. Well, on the internet the entire globe is your neighbourhood. Every single computer on the internet could potentially communicate with your internet facing server, meaning that good, bad, and downright evil people could all potentially come knocking, or rattling your server's virtual windows.
I simply wasn't comfortable adding internet server features to the UI without some kind of countermeasures against hacking attempts. The countermeasures are now here, so adding UI features to make setting up a full internet facing FTP server will be next (e.g., handling an external domain & TLS certificate)."
A single license of 'ZitaFTP Server' is available for about 47 Euro. The program can be tested for free for 30 days.

Trademark protection: Cloanto withdraws opposition against Intellivision's Amico
After being forced by third party to defend the Amiga trademarks against Intellivision's "Amico" game console, Cloanto now filed a motion to withdraw their opposition at USPTO with prejudice, meaning that the opposition is replaced by a separate agreement between the parties, which prevails (PDF file).
On Twitter Amiga Corporation commented: "Amiga and Amico both mean friend. To stop any speculation: we had a productive exchange about coexistence, and concerns were resolved. Amiga wishes Intellivision all the best for its entertainment project."

AmigaOS 4: Comparison of video players (Polish)
In a detailed article - Polish original bzw. automatic translation - the author 'MUFA' has reviewed the different video players available for AmigaOS 4: Tested with an AmigaOne X1000 equipped with a Radeon HD R9 270 graphics card and an AmigaOne X5000 equipped with a Radeon RX 560 graphics card. Test candidates has been on the one hand the free MPlayer and FFPlay as well as the two commercial players DvPlayer and Emotion. He also has include in his consideration the support of the Unified Video Decoder (UVD).
Verdict: As of now, he recommends Emotion for overall performance. He awards second place to MPlayer for the best player without UVD support as well as its exemplary stability and free availability. Only in third place he sees DvPlayer, whereby he points out that with Hans De Ruiter a proven expert is entrusted with the further development and he therefore expects a lot from future versions.

Darkest Hour is an old-fashioned text adventure game, available for several platforms and also for AmigaOS 3.
Die Story: "Halloween is almost here, but something is happening that's much scarier than the annual haunted house at the fire hall. There are rumors of a vampire - a real one - attacking people at night. Of course most people think it's just silly; who wouldn't? But people are going missing, and others swear they've seen it. It's up to you to track down this vampire, stop it if possible. The question is, will you even survive the night?"
