`22.Sep.2023`	Motorola68k emulation: Emu68 V1.0 Release Candidate A month ago, Developer Michal Schulz had released beta version 2.1 of his Motorola68K emulation Emu68 for the ARM architecture, focusing on the PiStorm and PiStorm32lite (amiga-news.de reported). Since then, many other improvements have been added. Changes of the release candidate of version 1.0: BFxxx updated The bitfield instructions operating on memory are not optimized to use as little memory accesses as possible. There are still corner cases which will do more traffic than necessary, but they are now very limited. The bitfield instructions will fetch byte/word/long word/quad word instead of always working on quad words. Better write to CHIPSET registers After a write to memory area belonging to Amiga chipset, a byte read from ROM is issued. This improves stability of some old games/demos which never assumed to be running on m68k which is that fast. A read from ROM gives Paula enough time to complete the interrupt acknowledgment properly. IPL filter Emu68 filters the IPL lines and recognizes an IPL change if and only if two subsequent IPL reads (which are roughly 400 nanoseconds away) give the same result. Improves many games or demos which suffered from spurious interrupts. Write buffer removed The write buffer was my experiment introduced quite long time ago - it featured a write combining to subsequent byte/word locations as long as they would finally result in a longword write cycle. It worked relatively well in most cases, but failed miserably in some others. Since this was just a dirty hack, it has been removed now. CCR optimizer scan depth The number of m68k opcodes which are scanned in-advance during m68k to arm translation for elimination of CCR flag updates is now adjustable. Use EmuControl version 1.3 for that (nightly build from 23. Sept. 2023 or newer). The developer provides more detailed information on the changes in his new Patreon post. (dr) [News message: 22.

The wrapper is supposed to simplify porting modern OpenGL based games (Youtube video example for Prey 2006). The new beta version 0.7.20 is now available. Changes: Now!! Support additional shaders glsl on your code (exemple: effects Scanline, CRT and others) Now!! all libraries are STATIC, IMPORTANT: don't forget to delete your old dynamic libraries New!! Added The OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library 'Glew' includes and package for SDK Updated SDL1 and SDL2 Now!! SDL2 as your prefs on ENVARC:egl_wrap/ Updated Gl4ES Updated GUI 20% speedup on renderer EGL_Wrap Added new icons into the GUI (dr) [News message: 22.

`20.Sep.2023`	Emulator: Denise V2.1 Denise is a cycle accurate and platform independant emulator which since version 2.0 can emulate an Amiga 500 and Amiga 1000 (Kickstart disks are required) in addition to a C64. Now version 2.1 has been released. Changes: General changes: add drag'n'drop overlay files can be inserted into additional drives faster files can either only be inserted or inserted and restarted multi file support fix: Wasapi didn't work on some audio hardware Amiga specific changes: greatly improved accuracy ~15% speed up fix: Drive LED sometimes does not turn off display tracks more clearly add IPF, DMS, EXE and encrypted kick rom support add RTC add multi file support for any-loader (fill DF0-3 in one go) show power LED in status line colors for power and drive LEDs depend on the model click on power LED to select audio filter Denise is available cross platform for Windows 32/64 XP and higher, macOS (from version 10.9 on, Intel and Arm), Linux and BSD.

`19.Sep.2023` MorphZone (Forum)	MorphOS: Scheduler PolyOrganiser 1.21 PolyOrganiser written by Frederic 'Polymere' Rignault is a so called "PIM-Tool" (Personal Information Management) with which you can manage dates, contacts and tasks. Changes since version 1.16: Fix: Task edit, due date broken at creation (1970) and ignore very old due date too. Add: Task edit, add a context menu entry for remote due date. Fix: Task display, late date are bold. Fix no title display. Fix Columns weight. Change: Task list, use short date Fix: Contact diplay "no name" when name or company is blank. Fix: Contact/Event/Task, ask confiration for remove show "No name" when needed. Fix: Remove edit of task categories in main window due to a unfixable bug. Fix: Fix backgound & frames of popup objects (except Task type that have fixed back...) Fix:Task edit show wrond type Fix: Sort of contacts that was kind of random. Patch: Replace "Jabber" data type for "Title" Fix: DueDate broken due to stuoid datestamp copy Fix: Workaround some issue with duplicate ids in packed event storage which are used for both event item ids as well as additional links (0xE1 and above) Change: Don't write DebugTracking.raw file to PROGDIR: any longer by default Fix: On New Task creation, use the current date for Due Date instead of leaving it uninitilized to 1978 Fix: Correct backfill of sunday column weekday for locale country catalog settings which don't start on Monday (like United States which starts on Sunday) Fix: Fixed a use-after-free for notification once the close window button of the search window was hit and which caused a crash once PERMMEMTRACK kernel option was enabled Fix: Fixed some bug in some intermediate 1.18 version that always deleted the last record for each launch of the program Fix: Icon sizes of top navigation bar back to 100% (from 80%) again after some intermediate change Rework: Code to create the DateIcon AppIcon uses Reggae instead of a direct PNG decoder now Fix: fixed some bug that triggered PERMMEMTRACK because the app tried to free some static application memory on some string Fix: Fixed some incompatibility with MorphOS PERMMEMTRACK option due to some access to already freed memory Fix: Fixed hits caused by 2nd launch of PolyOrga Fix: Fixed some possible illegal access when the database is opened or past events are checked on launch (dr) [News message: 19.
