Developer tools: vlink 0.15c and vasm 1.7g (update)
Frank Wille has updated the portable linker vlink which can handle a lot of binary formats and is part of the compiler package vbcc.

Update: (19:43, 04.11.16, snx)
Also an update has been released for the modular assembler vasm. As usual, only the source code has been released and has to be compiled by oneself. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Audio-Player: AmigaAMP 3.17 with support of Prisma Megamix
According to Thomas "TomSoniq" Wenzel in the German comment section of amiga-news.de, he has ported version 3 of AmigaAMP which so far was only available for AmigaOS 4 to AmigaOS 3. AmigaAMP 3.17 plays MP3-files as well as the formats M4A, OGG and FLAC. In order to be able to play that formats, the hardware decoder "Prisma Megamix" is supported which was recently released. MHI-drivers are used to control it.

According Wenzel the codec on the decoder card is considered to be a little bit unstable. Therefore the player and decoder may happen to stop running synchronously, if the user does fast-forward and rewind within a track. (cg) (Translation: dr)

ModExplorer 0.9b for all Amiga systems
Similar to AmiModRadio, the Hollywood-programm ModExplorer plays music modules from the Internet but also supports the Aminet, Modland and modules.pl.
  • Some bugs have been fixed
  • The GUI was slightly changed. Now it should fit (with the corresponding MUI options) on a screen with simple PAL solution. The author himself even could handle a solution of 390*241.
  • The ARexx-port was expanded and a little Doc explains the commands
  • A button "last" was added. If you should forget pressing the button in time while streaming (the playlist is not updated with new songs utomatically), you can get to the "last" mod which was downloaded.
  • Skin-GUI was completely removed
  • In order to reduce the download time, the archive does not contain any executables any more.
