AROS distribution: AROS One 2.4 (x86)
The distribution "AROS One" (screenshot), which is based on the AROS binary interface ABI v0, is now available in version 2.4 for x86 computers. It can be downloaded as a DVD ISO file or as a USB flash image at the title link, where video recordings can also be found.

This is the most stable AROS x86 version to date, with many bug fixes relating to Wanderer and hardware compatibility, the list of which has since been further revised. Above all, however, the distribution has now been compiled with the C library, which makes porting and compiling easier for developers, but requires to be installed from scratch because it is no longer compatible with the old core and the old software included in the contrib archive. Thus own configurations of the included software must therefore be saved and reinstalled manually.

  • Update AROS One OS System:
    • Update Descriptor Datatypes (Image File)
    • Update Dopus4 Config
    • Update ZuneARC (Fixated LZH Archive)

    • IconDropx86 1.2
    • Image2PDF 2.5

    • Dcraw 8.89
    • Memeter 2.2
    • WorldTime 1.31
    • RNOEffects 2.0
    • Demos Mindlapse
    • Sacrificio Pagano 2.10
    • MCC_Thebar 26.22
    • Protrekkr 2.6.4
    • Sonos Controller 1.3
    • LoView 2024
    • World Construction Set 2.031

  • Update AROS One Games:

    • AstralGame
Updates Core ABIv0:
  • Functionalities:
    • Introduce new C library, synchronized with 64-bit AROS (deadwood)
    • Allow linux hosted AROS to work under WSL (Kalamatee)
    • Better default mouse cursor image (JuanDoble07)
    • Early Boot Menu made more functional (JuanDoble07, Kalamatee)

  • Updates:

    • Italian and Polish translations (AMIGASYSTEM, subocz)
    • Prefs/Boot 1.4 (deadwood)

  • Functional fixes:

    • exec.library (bugs: infinite crash loop) (deadwood)
    • dos.library (bugs: #60) (deadwood)
    • utility.library (bugs: #63) (deadwood)

In this update mainly file usage was improved. Changes:
  • import previously unmountable files on a disk (DD/HD 880KB/1.76MB), e.g. single files such as demo.lha (YouTube video), todos.txt, space_ship.iff, blitter_force.asm
  • extended ADF files are recognized by header bytes regardless of its file extension
  • select files from zip folders, improved zip file support
  • upgraded to most recent vAmigaCore v2.6 for increased machine compatibility

Shoot 'em Up: Early demo version of "NEON world" (V0.1)
After Frank Neumann had not programmed anything for the Amiga with assembler for 30 years, he wants to get back into it with the shoot 'em up "NEON world" (amiga-news.de reported). This second early demo version he calls "Minimum Viable Product" (MVP) having more than 80 enemies in less than a minute playtime. The game should run on an Amiga 500.

Apollo cards: File sharing tool "ApolloExplorer" v1.1.3 (update)
ApolloExplorer is a simple file exchange programme that can be used to transfer files from a PC to an Amiga running an Apollo card and vice versa over the network. A server software runs in the background on the Amiga and allows a client running on a PC with Windows, Linux or MacOS to connect to the Amiga and browse the local hard drives. This is the first stable version, while previous ones were still considered as beta versions. Changes:
  • A problem where certain Apollo Accelerator targeted distributions used an icon for the SD Card that didn't appear in the PC client browser has been fixed.
  • Similarly, FAT filesystems (SD Cards are formated such) will get the default def_SD0.info icon if this available on the Amiga.
Update: (12.02.2024, 20:18, dr)

The developer has pointed out that his application should basically run on all Amigas that are equipped with sufficient CPU and RAM to run a web browser. For example, ApolloExplorer should work on PiStorm Amigas or 68030 Amigas. (dr)

Programming language: Amiga C/C++ Visual Studio Code Extension 1.7.7
Bartman', member of the demo group 'Abyss', provides with 'amiga-debug' a 'Visual Studio Code' extension for "compiling, debugging and profiling Amiga C/C++ programs compiled by the bundled gcc 13.1 with the bundled WinUAE/FS-UAE and GDB." (YouTube video). Changes of version 1.7.7:
  • FIX: Resource bitmap colors red & blue swapped
  • FIX: auto-reload .size.amigaprofile, .shrinklerstats if changed on disk
  • CHG: changed shrinkler output name from a.exe.config.shrinkler to a.shrinkler_config.exe so you can use EXE2ADF on the resulting shrinkled file
  • CHG: Makefile: don't strip symbol names (-s) in elf2hunk so Shrinkler can display nicer shrinklerstats
  • FIX: fixed/optimized memclr
  • NEW: ELF disassembly: move cursor with Shift to show accumulated cycle counts
  • FIX: flashing document when Show Source has been disabled in Profiler Assembly view
