Curiosity: DintWM - a "Tiling Window Manager" for Workbench
The principle of the Tiling Window Manager is mainly known in the Unix environment: In contrast to conventional interfaces, the individual windows do not overlap, instead they are arranged tile-like next to each other. With 'DintWM' such a window manager has now been implemented for AmigaOS for the first time.
Some animated screenshots on the Github website of the project illustrates DintWM, which is implemented as a commodity. Besides a status bar, which displays information about the various open windows, it also offers the "virtual workspaces" known from the Unix area.

Demoscene registered as inventory of intangible cultural heritage in Germany
Last Friday, the Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs added 20 new entries to the list of "Intangible Cultural Heritage", including the demoscene. The scene is thus automatically also part of UNESCO's World Cultural Heritage. What advantages this could have in practice is discussed by the news service "Tarnkappe" in a conversation with Tobias Kopka, one of the organisers of the demo party "Evoke", among others (in German).

FreePascal: Docker container for Amiga development updated
Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow's Docker environment (amiga-news.de reported) for development of FreePascal applications for various Amiga systems has been updated and includes scripts now for compiling directly from the Docker, i.e. without VNC/Lazarus.
The latter does only work for standard Free Pascal programs, though, not for LCL applications. Besides, the lazarus version has been updated to the latest version 2.0.12 as well.
