Amiga Forever: Facebook Page and Videos
Press release Just in time for the holidays, we set up a Facebook page dedicated to Amiga Forever, and uploaded a first set of two videos: Lemmings at Denver DevCon and The Secret in Hangar AE. Please refer to the videos for full credits.

We plan to upload more footage and photographs soon. To join the Amiga Forever page just follow the title link and select "Become a Fan" to receive automatic updates when new items are posted.

AmigaOS 4: X11-environment AmiCygnix 1.0
AmiCygnix (the previous beta versions were called "Cygnix") is a X11-environment and makes it possible to launch Unix-applications under AmigaOS with only few changes at the source code (screenshot).

AmiCygnix is not compatible with the previous versions. All available applications must be adapted. The first updates will follow soon with AbiWord 2.6.2 and Gnumeric 1.6.3.

AmiCygnix will be delivered as two archives: The basis package includes the complete X11-environment and the additional Tools-archive includes some applications and preference programs. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: Web-Browser OWB 2.20
Jörg Strohmayer has published an update of his port of the Origyn Web Browser. The changes in version 2.20:
  • Some more small font tweaks, for example at 13px the bold Arial got a different size than the regular one
  • Updated curl-ca-bundle.crt
  • Reenabled drawing and scrolling optimisations while a page is still loading since it didn't fix the problems on AmigaOS 4.0
  • Disabled progress bar when running on AmigaOS 4.0, it didn't test it but maybe that fixes the freezes

Amiga Forever 2008 Value Edition: New Version, Content and Price
Press release When Amiga Forever 2008 was released less than six months ago, it was accompanied by a name change in the entry level edition: the former Online Edition was renamed Value Edition. This was to signal another change further along the road, which was put into practice today.

Amiga Forever Value Edition has been repositioned to focus on content that can be played back in version 1.3 ROM and Workbench environments (whereas the Plus and Premium editions also include all other versions from 1.0 to 3.x). More than 70% of the thousands of games available for legal download from their original publishers and from Amiga preservation sites can be run with the new Value Edition.

The new Amiga Forever 2008 Value Edition includes 50 games, some of the best demoscene productions, and a selection of additional items at the low price of $9.95 (local taxes may apply, or 9.95 euros inclusive of VAT). The Value Edition comes in an 80 MB downloadable installer for Windows, and incorporates all the previous minor updates (build 2008.0.12.0), the latest WinUAE version, and the Software Director tool to manage future free updates.

The Value Edition is also available for free in partnership with TrialPay, if ordered together with a product or service from other affiliated sites.

Also in consideration of the twelve minor updates released so far, version 2008 remains the current version for all editions of Amiga Forever. The next release in the series will be C64 Forever, planned for the first quarter of 2009. (snx)

AROS: MPlayer ported
Krzysztof 'Deadwood' Smiechowicz has adapted Fabien 'Fab' Coeurjoly's MorphOS-port of the video play program MPlayer to AROS/x86 (screenshot).

The AROS-version supports 3dnow and recognizes the used processor. SSE/SSE2 is being not supported. The sound output also is limited: The modi s16be and s17le work while others (24, 32, ac3) does not. If you have some "problem videos" then please send them to the author. Furthermore the WMV- and ASF-files can be played in the native AROS-version but cannot played on hosted versions. (snx) (Translation: dr)

MorphOS: FLAC-Player for AmiNetRadio (Update)
Under the title link Jacek 'jacaDcaps' Piszczek has published a FLAC-player for AmiNetRadio. The Plug-in is available in two versions (with and without Altivec-support) and supports 16-Bit-Stereo files as well as meta data.

Because the FLAC-player uses the 64-Bit-DOS-API introduced with MorphOS 2.0 as well as the conversion from UCS4 to ANSI introduced with version 2.1 the latest version of MorphOS is required.

Update: (18:48, 20.12.08, snx)
Meanwhile version 4.1b2 has been released which contains some bugfixes and optimisations, especially for computers without Altivec support. (snx) (Translation: dr)
