On the website, the player is linked under "Radio" which requires Flash. The stream also can be played with some local players- the URL is listen.radionomy.com/amigavibes.m3u.

AROS Bounty for Qt-port
On power2people.org a bounty was established for the goal to port the C++ class library Qt to AROS.
The conditions of the bounty are complied with, if the modules QtCore, QtNetwork, QtGui, QtScript and QtXml were ported. Additionally the Qt-based Youtube-browser SMTube must be available in a working version.
Currently AROS does not support dynamic linking of libraries. Therefore the port may be a Static Library. Szilárd 'BSzili' Biró again agreed to undertake the bounty - but will start his work after finishing his college which could last still nine months.

Reworked automatic monitor switcher for Radeon graphic boards
André 'Ratte' Pfeiffer has reworked his automatic monitor switcher for Radeon graphic boards which he introduced three years ago. The hardware automatically changes between the signal of the monitor of an Indivision Mk2 (the CR-version is not supported) and the signal of the Radeon board.
In this new version now one slot fewer is used, besides this, it has the same features. The switcher is controlled with Pfeiffer's tool SwitchControl.

AmigaOS 4 / MorphOS / AROS: Odamex 0.7.0
Odamex is a free, cross-platform modification of the Doom engine, that combines the features of Boom with some additional enhancements: The widescreen format is supported, the mouse can be used ("mouselook") and the player can jump.
The port was provided by Szilárd 'BSzili' Biró. He wrote: "The update includes the new 32-bit renderer as well as an experimental server browser: ag-odalaunch. It has many issues (the file browser is horribly broken), but you shouldn't have problems connecting to servers. It uses my new pthreads implementation, which is still in its infancy, that can be another source of instability."

New poll: What do you think about WinUAE's PPC emulation and AmigaOS 4?
WinUAE maintainer Toni Wilen has recently implemented a working emulation of Phase 5's PPC accelerator cards. The current version is just a proof of concept, but Wilen is already working on integrating the much faster CPU emulation core from QEMU to WinUAE.
This brings up an interesting question, which is already debated all over the forums: what effect would a reasonable fast PPC emulation in Amiga emulators have on AmigaOS 4? With our latest poll, we would like to determine what our readers think about this issue - you can vote here or just view the results. (cg) (Translation: cg)

WinUAE: Proof of concept for PowerPC emulation
By its latest beta version, Toni Wilen enabled the Amiga emulator WinUAE 2.9.0 in principle to also emulate the Amiga PowerPC processor boards by phase 5 and run the "classic" flavor of AmigaOS 4.
This proof of concept has been done intentionally utilizing the processor core of PearPC for a quick check of feasibility. Due to its incompleteness and bugs, the author has to change for QEMU now, though. He writes:
"PearPC CPU emulator is a dead-end. Missing instructions, only partially emulated instructions, no support for integer overflows, division by zero, illegal instruction exceptions and so on... (Which means any buggy or badly behaving program can crash the emulator or hang or crash the emulated operating system.) It did its job, allowed easy and quick PPC emulation test. It would not have happened with any other more complex cores.
It seems most compatible PPC CPU emulation is in QEMU. Dolphin only has experimental MMU support which is not supported in JIT modes. But QEMU is complex, very complex...
What does this mean? It means all PPC CPU related bugs will be ignored until PPC CPU emulator core is replaced (timeframe: unknown); the only exception are bugs that didn't exist in beta version 10."

Linux: Kernel 3.13.14 with "Longterm Support" and 3.15.10 for X1000 (Update)
The kernel series 3.13 will be updated until 2016 by Canonical. Christian 'xeno74' Zigotzky has compiled version 3.13.14 for the X1000, which among others can be used with the Linux Live-DVD.
The version for the AmigaOne does not include support for CPU frequency scaling any longer due to a lack of precise work of the regulator.
Download: kernel-3.13.14-1-x1000-ubuntu-ppc64.tar.bz2 (7,2 MB) (Changelog)
Update: (07:38, 16.08.14, snx)
Now also kernel 3.15.10 is available. This is the last kernel of the 3.15 series (EOL).
New: Removed CPU frequency scaling support. For further changes see official changelogs: ChangeLog-3.15.9, ChangeLog-3.15.10.
Additional kernel modules:
- KVM_BOOK3S_64_PR
- Supports running guest kernels in virtual machines on processors
without using hypervisor mode in the host, by running the
guest in user mode (problem state) and emulating all
privileged instructions and registers.
- This is not as fast as using hypervisor mode, but works on
machines where hypervisor mode is not available or not usable,
and can emulate processors that are different from the host
processor, including emulating 32-bit processors on a 64-bit
host.
- 3dfx Voodoo graphics card support
- Network support for AROS hosted
- Support for four serial ports
- Bluetooth USB dongle support
- Kernel tracing with ftrace
- Linux kernel icon for AmigaOS 4.1 by Tommysammy

CD32-extensions: Project Hermes, CD32 Expansion Board
In his blog, Ian Stedman logs the development of "Project Hermes", which is an extension for the CD32-console. The hardware will have the following specifications:
- mainly internal solutions (s.b.)
- 8 MB SRAM
- Parallel ATA (IDE) and Compact Flash port
- Floppy-port for Amiga or PC disk drives or Floppy emulators
- possibly a real-time clock
- clock port for connecting additional extensions
- may be totally disabled
According to Stedman, the price for one new board will be approximately 120 pound sterling (about 150 Euro).
The actual Hermes-platine is in the CD32-case - for that it must be connected to a adapter board developed by "kipper" which also has to be bought and which rotates the extension port of the console by 180 degrees. This "CD32 expansion board" can also be used without Hermes and provides ports for the Amiga-RGB-cable and PS/2-keyboards:
The actual date of completion of both projects are not yet known. There are already prototypes of the "Expansion Board".
