`30.Nov.2021` Reddit	Cache management: Source code of 'HyperCache' released In the late 1980s, early 1990s, Canadian-American programmer David Plummer wrote the cache management 'HyperCache'. Inspired by a user's request, Plummer now published the source code on GitHub and wants to give interested users, programmers and developers the opportunity to take a nostalgic look at program code of that time in general and in particular at the 'state of knowledge' of the author, who was still learning C at that time. For various legal and liability reasons, the code cannot be released as free software at this time, but it is available to anyone for exploration and nostalgic tinkering. If anyone still has Lattice C installed, Plummer would be happy to know if the program can still be compiled. The Obligement website published a detailed test report on this in the early 1990s. There is also an English review in the archives, which among other things also mentions the price of HyperCache Professional 1.01B at that time: It cost US $49.95. (dr) [News message: 30.

`29.Nov.2021` AmigaImpact	ModExplorerNG 3.81 for all Amiga systems In our last news we reported about the 'final version' 3.8 of the ModPlayer developed by Jörg Renkert. Now he has made both his announcements true and on the one hand provided his audio player sorted by target systems with their own versions: The NG variant is still available for all Amiga systems, but if you use the OS3 variant you have to reckon with it running slowly on corresponding systems. Therefore he has created a separate ModExplorerCE version for AmigaOS 3 systems, which contains all important functions as well, but some, like ARexx, have been deactivated or simplified like the search function. Furthermore, with ModExplorerME there is now also a separate version for Android systems. On the other hand, he has cleaned up some bugs in the NG version 3.8 and released the successor 3.81.

`28.Nov.2021`	New preview video: Platformer 'Guardian - The legend of flaming sword' In the course of our report about the last major update of the game construction kit 'Red Pill', we also gave a listing of the games currently in development with it. For the platformer 'Guardian - The legend of flaming sword' listed there as well, developer 'Yoz Montana' has now released a new preview video. He describes the development status of the game as alpha, that of the underlying game engine as beta. The video shown ran on an Amiga 1200 with a 1230/40 turbo card. The developer also lists the progress: Use of 16 background colors instead of 4, scenery with spatial depth instead of without, 528 colors displayed simultaneously on the screen.

`28.Nov.2021` MorphZone (Forum)	amiga.net.pl/bitronic.pl: Statement by Adam Zalepa In the past, Adam Zalepa published several Amiga books and games at amiga.net.pl and bitronic.pl, respectively. Suddenly, payments and delivery of goods stopped (amiga-news.de reported). In the meantime he published a statement at exec.pl (translation from Polish into English by Konrad 'koszer' Czuba). According to it, his withdrawal would have been dictated by personal reasons and the state of his health. His business partners would have decided to end the cooperation. His aim would be to collect all his publications, including foreign language versions, at retroguide.pl. He would be aware of his remaining obligations and would try to fulfill them with a delay or in a slightly different form than intended. If his health permits, he would plan to return to previous projects in 2022 and continue to develop them, providing most of the content for free or only for the price of covering costs.

`28.Nov.2021` A1k (ANF)	AmiTube: YouTube client for 68k Amigas Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow's AmiTube enables watching YouTube videos on an 68k Amiga. To do so, they are converted to Commodore's CDXL format and downloaded (video). Please not that conversion is executed on the developer's personal server, thus he asks to restrict oneself to few and short videos. Furthermore the program must not be shared but always be downloaded from the author's website at the title link. (snx) [News message: 28.

`28.Nov.2021` Amiga Future (Webseite)	identify.library: Source code on GitHub Richard Körber's identify.library is used to identify Zorro cards and provide further details (amiga-news.de reported). While providing it at GitHub now, the source code has been reviewed and reformatted, and the comments habe been translated from German to English. Furthermore, the project is compilable on Linux (and probably other targets) now using vbcc. (snx) [News message: 28.
