MorphOS: Beta test for AirPort-Extreme driver
Frank 'pega-1' Mariak has written a MorphOS driver for Apple-computers with integrated WLAN-support (screenshot from April 1st), which will be released together with MorphOS 3.6. If you are interested in a beta test, you offer your help.

The Broadcom-based WLAN-chipsets are supported by "AirPort Extreme" and "AirForce One 54g" (they are shown under ShowConfig with the manufacturer information $14E4 and the device numbers $4320 or $4318). According to Andreas Wolf, it is the following Apple-computers, which work under MorphOS:
  • eMac: all
  • iBook G4: all
  • PowerBook G4 Aluminium: all
  • Mac mini G4: all
  • PowerMac G4: FW800
  • PowerMac G5: all
As a kind of Easter gift and as tribute to the registration without working, integrated WLAN-solution, registered users with a compatible chipset can apply for the beta test of this b43-driver. Please use the following eMail address: b43beta@morphos-team.net.

Please note, that it is a softwase to be tested and that the group of participants is limited - so it may happen that your application will be rejected. But by using MorphOS 3.6, you will get the finished driver. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Game: Marco Gregorio's Adventures to Unusual Places
The Backbone-game "Marco Gregorio's Adventures to Unusual Places" has five levels and was tested on an Amiga 1200 (68030/50 MHz).

Few tips and quirks:
  1. Because there is a small problem with Backbone when you die over "Danger Area" like water, you will respawn to the beginning of a level and restart. So, you need to finish the level w/o dieing
  2. I limited fire/throw axe speed, so it's harder to kill enemies, you can't just blast through enemies
  3. You need to collect all items before advancing to the next level
  4. In the Mayan level not all gates open
  5. I used the same fire button to Throw and Open Doors, I found out that assigning keyboard press to open the Door was disrupting the flow of the game. So, you can't shoot next to the door, you need to move away some before shooting

Text viewer: EvenMore 0.80
EvenMore is a text viewer written by Chris Perver with ECX in Amiga E. Changes in version 0.80:
  • Optimized RTF2Text plugin a little. Fixed bug where a line break instead of a space between a command and ordinary text would cause the plugin to skip a word. Also patched a bug in the RTF code generated by LibreOffice on Linux. LibreOffice stores pen 1 as 0, but other pen numbers start at 2.
  • HTML2Text plugin will now display preformatted text as the system default font.
  • A bug in the highlighting caused the system default and screen fonts over several lines to be rendered in all the same font.
  • Fixed bug. Shadow text and strikethrough styles would not carry over to the next line.
  • Created basic PageStream2Text plugin. Still to implement all of the text styles and colours that it offers.
  • Created outline text style. ESC[52m turns on outline text, and ESC[53m turns it off again. For use in the new PageStream plugin.

Workbench enhancement: BetterWB 3.6
Similar to AIAB, AmiKit or AmigaSYS, BetterWB is a collection of Workbench enhancements for AmigaOS 3.1, which are useful but rather simple and therefore require low hardware configuration. Changes in version 3.6:
  • Full 68040, 68060 and ACA accelerators autodetection and driver support with the new HardWiz
  • Rebooter is a new very handy application for restricted memory systems
  • EnvHandler will save quite a lot of ram by optimising envarc (Thanks PeterK)
  • Easily customize and lock palettes with FullPalette
  • Updated icon.library to version 46.4.339 which is faster and less memory hungry
  • Updated PFS3 aio to latest build (19-march-2014)
  • Updated DMS to version 1.53
  • Added a small text with a couple of tips after switching to GlowIcons
  • Gzip is back. It is required for ADZ support in TSGUI (Thanks Jost)
  • Added missing deficons (tool & project)
  • Changed default position of the global trashcan whenever it is activated, so it doesnt get in the way
  • For the love of the boing ball: replaced workbench´s glowicon to suit Jarek´s taste ;)
  • Replaced the standard trashcan icon with one that looks more elegant
  • BetterWB has now its own envarc drawer with wich you can easily check wether BetterWB is installed, which version is it, and the extensions it has enabled (FullPalette, GlowIcons, Rebooter)
  • Plus a few more minor fixes and tweaks

Punk Rock with the Amiga: PAULA POWERED
If music is made with Amiga, often this is Synth-Popper like Blue Metal Rose or Techno - but the French-British combo PAULA POWERED plays Punk Rock. The self-described trio ("singing, guitar, A1200") calls its Low-Fi sound as "Digital Punk" (Youtube video). The tracker Octamed is used on the Amiga. (cg) (Translation: dr)
