`21.Jul.2026`	A classic in the works: Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe for AmigaOS 3.x (update) OpenTTD, the open-source reimplementation of the classic transportation strategy game Transport Tycoon Deluxe, is currently under development for 68k Amigas with the AGA chipset. The first build (0.1), released yesterday, is already playable to some extent. The port is based on OpenTTD 1.0.5 and is still in active development; the current version is 0.4.1. Since the first playable build, fixes have included resolving crash issues, lowering the minimum requirement from a 68040 to a 68030 with FPU, and implementing sound effects via Paula's hardware channels - without a software mixer, directly via DMA. Keyboard controls, networking, and music are still missing. Requirements are an AGA Amiga with a 68030 with FPU (68040/40 recommended, 68060/50 for full speed), 16 MB of Fast RAM, and AmigaOS 3.x. OpenGFX and OpenSFX are included in the archive; the original TTD is not required. The source code and download are available on GitHub. Update: (21.07.26, 17:18, nba) The just-released version 0.5.0 adds Picasso96/RTG support with 8bpp screen modes from 400×300 upward, compatible with both Picasso96 and CyberGraphX. Since OpenTTD already renders into an 8bpp chunky buffer internally, RTG systems require no chunky-to-planar conversion at all - eliminating the biggest bottleneck of the AGA driver.

`21.Jul.2026` Simon Dick (ANF)	Two-factor authentication: AmiAuth 1.0 for AmigaOS 2.x/3.x AmiAuth is a native 2FA tool for AmigaOS 2.0 and above. It implements TOTP (RFC 6238) and HOTP (RFC 4226) – the codes used by GitHub, Google, Microsoft, banks and countless other services – replacing a smartphone authenticator app. AmiAuth manages multiple accounts in an optionally encrypted vault (ChaCha20 + PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA1), generates 6- or 8-digit codes with a live countdown, and tackles the accurate-time problem that is critical on the platform: via SNTP synchronisation, a manual UTC offset and a locale-based first guess, a red/amber/green indicator shows how trustworthy the system clock is. Accounts can be added via standard "otpauth://" URIs or by importing a QR code. Alongside a CLI with the commands CODE, ADD, LIST, GET, REMOVE, SYNC and OFFSET, there is a ReAction GUI that runs as a proper Commodity: registered in Exchange, hotkey-activated, WBStartup-compatible and single-instance. AmiAuth requires AmigaOS 2.0 or above and runs without any external libraries. (nba) [News message: 21. Jul. 2026, 12:19] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`21.Jul.2026`	Console replacement: CCON with output scrollback (update) CCON is a new console handler for AmigaOS 3.x, joining the ranks of CON:, KingCON and ViNCEd - with one key difference: output scrollback. CCON buffers 5,000 lines of output history per window, allowing users to scroll back using the keyboard or mouse wheel, even in raw mode. Further features include autosuggestions with ghost text from history, tab completion, incremental history search via Ctrl+R, extensive line editing functions, copy & paste and drag & drop support, as well as SGR colour support. Shortly after the initial release, version 1.1 has already appeared. New additions include per-window fonts, real SGR soft styles, an alternate-screen mode for Ed and More, shared persistent command history, and safe multi-line paste. The scrollback search now also works contextually when scrolled back. As a highlight, CCON: in version 1.1 can fully replace the system's own CON:/RAW: – similar to KingCON. Update: (23.07.26, 22:25, dr) Version 1.2.3 is now available. It is now possible to convert a window into a Workbench icon (RightAmiga+I; clicking on it restores the window exactly as it was), and known bugs have been fixed.
