Amiga Source Preservation: Source texts and PDF books under free licence
The project "Amiga Source Preservation" originally was going to safeguard as many source texts of Amiga programs as possible and making them available under a free licence. Since about a year books on Amiga have been safeguarded as well which then are offered under the Creative Commons licences for free download.
The books are saved in a Gitlab repository and periodically also uploaded to the Aminet. The website of the project offers an overview about the 16 books and 110 source texts released so far.

Modplayer: AmiModRadio 0.9995
AmiModRadio is "a program to automatically download, extract, and play modules from Aminet." A rating function is included as well. The new version includes new skins, fixes bugs and now also runs on an A4000/30, an A1200 with 68060 processor and an A600 equipped with a Vampire. The format of the program cache changed. Therefore you should delete the content of the "cache" directory if you are going to update the tool. If you want to report bugs then please use the official bugtracker.
