Audio player: AmigaAMP 3.28 released
Thomas Wenzel wrote: After extensive testing, the new version of AmigaAMP now is ready for an official release. Mainly bugs have been fixed.
In the 68k version now Bebbos GCC 6.5 is used which now again produces correct Non-FPU-Code. Therefore AmigaAMP again works on an unexpanded 68020. The support for the sndfile.library was implemented again, so classic sound files (AIFF, WAV, 8SVX) can be played. As usual first of all the new version is available on the homepage of AmigaAMP, later also on Aminet.

Amiga floppy reader: ADF-Copy 1.104 supporting Flux-Level
Dominik Tonn wrote: "ADF-Copy is a small hardware i developed which uses a Teensy 3.2 microcontroller to read and write non copy protected Amiga disks with an out of the box PC 3.5" Floppy drive connected to the microcontroller which can be build with a few jumper wires on a breadboard with no additional component. The low level stuff is handled in the microcontroller which is controlled by a Java application."
Similar to Greaseweazle or Kryoflux, the latest versionen of the software now also can read disks at flux level and therefore also can read copy-protected disks.

The 100% useless AROS distribution version 0.2
By releasing version 0.2 according to the author Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow his AROS distribution "it's only 99% useless". His version is based on AROS64 before SMP was added.
The author wrote: "I added some more programs, (not only my own) the FP-IDE does work, but sadly the compilation still crash, so you have to use the shell to compile. I even got the network to work and MUIMapparium shows the map nicely and search also works".
