AmigaOS 4: Second beta version of Timberwolf
Hans-Jörg and Thomas Frieden have published a new beta version of their Firefox port "Timberwolf".

This new version improves some features of the first beta, and fixes some of the bugs. In essence, the main improvements are as follows:
  • Splash screen when starting up (to show something is happening)
  • Crash fixes. For example, clicking the zip box no longer crashes
  • Right-click popup menus work now
  • Downloads work now
  • Timberwolf now uses a native ASL file requester instead of the alien file picker

Timberwolf requires AmigaOS 4.1 Update 4. The authors pointed out that before the program is started, the readme - included in the archive - should be read. There you can find important hints for craeting the font caches. (cg) (Translation: dr)

European Federation of Game Archives, Museums and Preservation Projects founded
A lot of European initiatives for archiving software and computer games, e.g. the Software Preservation Society - originally called "Classic Amiga Preservation Society" (CAPS) - have founded an umbrella association which is called "European Federation of Game Archives, Museums and Preservation Projects" (EFGAMP).

Task of the EFGAMP will be supposed to be the improvement of the technical and regulatory framework for archiving interactive digital contents. Those tasks are to be achieved by lobbying as well as networking and exchanging knowledge with other projects. (cg) (Translation: dr)

ACube Systems: Software package for programming the Sam440ep-FPGA
Press release: Bassano del Grappa (Italy) - 24 March 2012

ACube Systems is happy to release a package to explore and enhance the capabilities of the LatticeXP FPGA available on the Sam440ep mini-itx and flex-atx boards.

With the manual, examples and tools of the package it's possible to implement new functionalities into the FPGA, to further strengthen your AmigaOS experience on your Sam440ep board.

The package contains:

- VHDL source code (released under GPL) of the firmware currently used on Sam440ep boards - the original bitstream installed at the factory (to restore the original firmware) - a porting of the VME12 utility which can reprogram, via the JTAG interface, the FPGA on the fly under AmigaOS 4.1 (*)

(*) a simple hardware modification and a cable are required (snx) (Translation: dr)
