`26.Jan.2026` Kerry Thompson (ANF)	Workbench utility: iTidy 1.0 iTidy is a workbench utility for AmigaOS 3.x designed to simplify the organisation of icon layouts and drawer windows. iTidy can automatically arrange icons within a directory according to configurable layout rules, adjust the size of drawer windows, and optionally process entire directory trees recursively. This makes it particularly useful for large collections such as WHDLoad installations, archive extractions, or project directories with many subfolders. iTidy offers the following features: Automatic Icon Grid Layout - Intelligent icon positioning with configurable spacing and sorting Smart Window Resizing - Aspect ratio control with overflow handling for large directories Recursive Processing - Process entire directory trees in one operation LHA Backup System - Create restore points before making changes Default Tool Validation - Find and fix missing or invalid default tool paths Multiple Sort Options - Folders First, Files First, Mixed, with reverse sorting As with any tool that modifies Workbench metadata, users are advised to ensure that they have up-to-date backup copies of important directories before performing extensive batch operations. iTidy is implemented exclusively with standard Workbench libraries and does not require MUI or other third-party GUI frameworks. This programme only modifies .info files and does not access user data files. Further information and the source code are available on GitHub. In addition, the developer has begun work on version 2, which will be recreated with ReAction for Workbench 3.2 and is (quote) "definitely a more enjoyable experience than using Workbench 3 GadTools."

`21.Jan.2026` Lars Rebenstorff (ANF)	Announcement: DIY project "Amiga 1600" based on the Amiga 1000 At the title link and via his video channel, 'EMD69' announces his latest project, which he has named "Amiga 1600". Based on the Amiga 1000, the hobbyist wants to present a computer that is more compact, with an integrated power supply, CF card and PCMCIA interface as well as a built-in Gotek drive. For those who feel confident enough to build a replica, the necessary documentation (including Gerber and STL files) will be made available, possibly for purchase via the forum on his website. According to the entry dated January 5, detailed technical specifications will be published in the coming weeks. (snx) [News message: 21.

`21.Jan.2026` Floppy (forum)	AROS: 32-bit emulation EmuV0 1.0 (update) In order to be able to use at least the most popular 32-bit applications that are not available natively under AROS/64-bit, Krzysztof 'deadwood' Śmiechowicz has written EmuV0, a 32-bit emulation that could potentially also be used for AmigaOS programs in the future – but the latter won't happen still this year. The current version 0.72 is undergoing final testing and may be the last before the official release as version 1.0. An important aspect of EmuV0 is that it also allows Hollywood programs to run under AROS/64-bit. Update: (20:55, 23.01.26, dr) As the developer informs us, version 1.0 is now available under the title link, with the corresponding source code on GitHub. (snx) [News message: 21.
