Advent Calendar: Door 3 - Joerg van de Loo
For the third door of our advent calendar, developer Joerg van de Loo took a lot of time. His main Amiga-side project is the text editor BareED. Unlike other editors, BareED is a RAM-based and pixel-oriented (not character-oriented) text editor for the Amiga. This means it can display proportional fonts (characters can vary in width) and use real tabs. Also it supports syntax highlighting, which requires a fast CPU (68040 CPU or better).

Advent Calendar: Door 2 - Daniel Jedlicka
Behind the second door with the initials "DJ" of our advent calendar, Daniel 'trixie' Jedlicka has prepared a story for us. The AmigaOS 4 developer is best known for his recently developed audio editor Rave, but he has been involved in AmigaOS 4 for much longer: He wrote some articles for OS4 Coding (for example about programming screens), published the English dictionary WordNet (latest version 3.5) and has taken over the development of ADRipper since 2015 (latest version 1.13).

CD32 adventure game: Wrong Way Back
Richard Perrin is a former indie game developer who wrote, among other things, the science fiction adventure game The White Chamber (Wikipedia entry). In his spare time, he continues to develop adventures for retro systems. As he explains to us, he never owned an Amiga growing up and was always envious of AMOS. So when he got the chance to make something for the Amiga using AMOS, he jumped at the chance: This is how his game "Wrong Way Back" for the CD32 came about, which he wrote entirely using the Amiga emulator FS-UAE.

WSL for Windows 10/11 generally available
As Microsoft explains in a developer book entry, the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is now generally available for Windows 10 and 11 in the Microsoft Store, having previously held "Preview" status. This means that it is now easier for users and developers to test the runtime environment for Linux, "AxRuntime", written by Krzysztof 'deadwood' Śmiechowicz, under Windows: for existing users, a simple upgrade is possible with wsl --update. If one uses the store version of WSL, one gets WSL updates much faster than before when WSL was a Windows component.

Announcement: The Amiga-News.de Advent Calendar 2022
Dear readers, each of us probably associates something different with the Advent season: for some, it starts as early as September, since from then on you can stock up on gingerbread and speculoos. Another may look forward to the Christmas markets. In recent years, there has been a nice trend that, in addition to the large and classic markets, there are also small artists' and neighborhood markets that give a hint of the secrecy of childhood.
But two things should be mandatory for everyone - with or without family offspring: an Advent calendar and storytelling. If the simple picture advent calendars or the ones filled with a chocolate figure, which are still known from earlier days, are enough or if it should be the variants filled with perfume, toys and technology, which have almost reached the realm of small furniture in terms of size and weight, is a matter of taste. With our Amiga-News.de advent calendar we want to take up this nice tradition of the calendar as well as the story telling.
