Linux: Kernel 3.15.8 for AmigaOne X1000
Christian 'xeno74' Zigotzky has compiled the Linux-kernel 3.15.8 with virtualization infrastructure for the AmigaOne X1000. This is the PR-version of the virtualization which runs the guest system in user modus. It is less powerful than the HV-version but works on almost all computers.

AROS: AEROS 3.9.0a for i386-computers available (2nd Update)
In Pascal Papara's indieGO!-store version 3.9.0a of his Linux-hosted AROS-distribution AEROS is available (video).
For a longer time, only ARM-devices are supported but this AEROS-update, based on the Linux distribution Knoppix, again is meant for x86-PCs. Version 3.9.0a does not has to be installed because it is an USB/Flash-image.
Pascal Papara wrote: "For registering please use the 'graphical client'. These are the download links below (on the markteplace or downloads sites).
I hope I have gathered all configurations. Knoppix is booting almost on all computers/platforms but configurating X11 and/or Compiz is a little bit tricky. Common problem: I still did not succeeded in adapting the X11 configuration for the EEEPC701. I am working on it. On all platforms AEROS 3.9 should work.
Changelog:
- Switched to knoppix (a Debian-based distribution focused on live-mode)
- Removed old AROS Vision files, no new ones included yet (waiting for the light version)
- Fixed FS-UAE icon, didn't work before
- Replaced OpenOffice by LibreOffice
- Updated GIMP
- Web browser is now Iceweasel, feel free to install another one
Regressions: A lot icons are dead end because the Linux apps are not all on par with 3.5. If you reinstall the apps using apt-get or synaptic, the icons will work again.
Future versions only will be available on the indieGO!-store. Soon it will be part of the distributions and keep them current. The new version then makes it possible to create an indieGO-ID out of the client (without web browser)."
Update: (15:51, 03.08.14, snx)
As Pascal Papara mentions in our german comments section, the archive is corrupt and will be replaced.
2nd Update: (19:51, 04.08.14, snx)
Meanwhile the file has been replaced. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Multimedia Authoring: Hollywood Player 5.3
Press release: Airsoft Softwair is proud to announce that the Hollywood Player is now also available for all desktop platforms supported by Hollywood (AmigaOS 3, AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS, Windows, Mac OS PPC & x86, Linux PPC & x86).
Although it was originally scheduled for release on June 3, 2006 (and even finished back then) its final publication for desktop systems was postponed again and again limiting the availability of the Hollywood Player to the Android platform for several years.
But now that the Hollywood Player is finally available for desktop platforms as well, software authors can choose to distribute their programs as Hollywood applets instead of stand-alone executables. In contrast to stand-alone executables, Hollywood applets are universally executable which has the advantage that you don't have to compile your programs for as much as almost a dozen of different platforms but just one Hollywood applet is already sufficient. The end-user then simply has to install the Hollywood Player compatible with his platform and can run the Hollywood applet with it.
Another advantage is that applets are much smaller than stand-alone executables compiled by Hollywood. While stand-alone executables often take up as much as 2 MB for only very few lines of code, Hollywood applets are very compact and often consist of only a few kilobytes. A last advantage is that programs distributed as Hollywood applets will automatically profit from improvements and bug fixes in newer versions of the Hollywood Player while programs distributed as stand-alone executables would have to be completely recompiled with each new Hollywood update in order to profit from improvements and bug fixes.
As its very name implies, the Hollywood Player can only be used to run applets compiled by Hollywood. It obviously cannot be used to create your own programs. You will still need the full version of Hollywood to create your own programs, of course.
On all Amiga compatibles, Hollywood Player installs itself to SYS:Utilities to be globally available as a default tool for Hollywood applets. Software authors choosing to distribute their programs as Hollywood applets can then simply set the default tool for their applets to "HollywoodPlayer" and inform the user to install the Hollywood Player before attempting to run the program.
The Hollywood Player is now available for free download from the official Hollywood portal for a wide range of architectures and comes with three demo applets to show its capabilities.

Platform game: Goatlizard DX
Goatlizard DX is a reworked version of The Incredible Adventures of Moebius Goatlizard which was written in assembler. The update adds music during the game, provides an improved two player mode and a level editor. Besides, more enemies are in the game.
Goatlizard DX should run on most of the Amiga configurations, but the author recommends a 68020-CPU. The game is not compatible to 68010-processors.

Hollywood / Cubic IDE: hw4cubic 5.3
Andreas Falkenhahn writes: Michael 'Clyde Radcliffe' Jurisch's Hollywood add-on for Cubic IDE has been updated to support the full Hollywood 5.3 command set now. Furthermore, there have been some bug fixes and optimizations.
The hw4cubic plugin allows you to use Cubic IDE as an IDE for Hollywood. The complete Hollywood command set is imported into Cubic IDE so you'll get syntax highlighting, quick command information, hotkey links to the documentation for command under cursor, function list, direct access to the compiler, auto complete and intellisense functionality and much more.
In addition, a Hollywood 5.3 wordfile for the popular Windows text editor UltraEdit is now also available for download on the official Hollywood portal. This wordfile allows you to conveniently edit Hollywood scripts on Windows using UltraEdit. All downloads are available from the official Hollywood portal at the title link. (snx)

Game development: "Chaos Guns"-project needs new programmer
Recently a playable demo of the multiplayer coop-shooter "Chaos Guns" was released - now the developers have informed that the only programmer left and a new one is needed.
Chaos Guns is written in PowerD which is a very obscure further development of Amiga E which obciously is very similar to it. Therefore it is necessary to write the engine of the game right from the beginning or to translate the 10.000 lines of the PowerD source code into regular Amiga E and then to work in this language.

Apollo-Core: Photograph of Phoenix prototype (Update)
Under the title link the developers of the Apollo-Core, which also is tested in the Vampire-600 accelerator board (amiga-news.de reported), have published a photograph of Rev. A of the Apollo-Phoenix-board.
Probably in the third quarter of this year this extension for existing systems with a 68000-processor will be available. It is put on the mainboard and is supposed to provide a higher speed and complete code-compatibility.
Additional to the Cyclone-V-FPGA, the Phoenix-board has 128 MB (DDR3, 800 MHz). The operating system can be copied into the RAM using the corresponding MapROM-functions. Further features are a SD-card as IDE-harddrive, HDMI video output (Truecolor) and a network port.
In Future an included flickerfixer/scandoubler (to connect an Amiga to a HDMI-TV), a Chip-RAM-extension and an AGA- (and later Super-AGA-) extension as well as Picasso96-drivers will be added.
Update: (18:32, 19.07.14, snx)
The complete extension consists of two cards. The FPGA module is shown on a second photo (below the Amiga 600 mainboard); how it is mounted on the Phoenix board is illustrated by an animation. (snx) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4 / AROS: PictureAlbum r1
After the "preview"-version (amiga-news.de reported), now version 1 of PictureAlbum written by Christopher Handley is available. By fixing a bug in PortablE the memory consumption of the graphic boards was lowered. The included MorphOS version creates buggy thumbnails. The author would be grateful for every hint which could solve the problem.
PictureAlbum can search picture directories which then are presented as thumbnails. By double-clicking the pictures can be viewed (screenshot). The programm saves the position of each opened picture of a directory.

New games: "Flappy Bird" and "Donkey Downfall"
Last weekend in Norwegian Solskogen, the eleventh scene party took place. In the "Wild"-competition two little games were released:
Flappy Bird is a port of the well-known Smartphone game. In Donkey Downfall (Youtube-video) you have to jump down platforms as fast as possible with a gorilla - a donkey does not appear in the game. The game requires 1 MB Chip-RAM.

AppStore: First screenshots of "AMIStore"
In October, the British trader Amigakit announced an "AppStore" called "AMIStore". The address amistore.net now is available, but without any functions. On amiga.org now some screenshots of the AmigaOS application have been published which later will be used for searching and purchasing software in the store.

AmigaOS 3: SSL-connection to 1&1, GMX, web.de might fail
According to Jens 'damato' Maus (YAM-Team) in the Amiga-News-forum, currently problems could occur if YAM or SimpleMail are trying to establish a SSL-connection to the mail servers of 1&1, GMX or web.de.
Some weeks ago, the configuration of the mail servers have been changed: The mail programms have only little time (few seconds) to establish a SSL-connection. For computer systems which are buzy or slow - like real Amiga hardware - the time could be not long enough and the connections cannot be established.
According to Jens Maus, an update for AmiSSL is being developed which is supposed to speed up the initialization of SSL-connections.

Project: Graphic board as partly equipped platine for A500 and Zorro-slot
Currently Amiga-user Matthias "Matze" Heinrichs is reworking the design of a clone of a 20 years old graphic board Picasso II+ developed by Georg Braun. The final product is supposed to be working in a Zorro-Slot as well as (after removing a part of the connector block) in the expansion port of an Amiga 500:
In order to to be suitable with different cases, the VGA-port is on a separate platine which is connected with the graphic board by cable. This second platine also also can be connected with the Scandoubler Indivision. An integrated switcher automatically provides the required signal (graphic board or Indivision) to the VGA-port.
Heinrichs is going to sell the board as partly equipped construction kit: RAM-chips, VGA-chip, video switcher and the CPLD have been already soldered up. The other parts (resistors, condensers, wired parts) the user has to assemble by himself.
Currently it is not possible to say when the board will be available. Due to the sale as construction kit, a private sale without a trade intermediary is possible. Currently the CPLD is programmed: Autoconfig is largely implemented, according to Heinrichs programming the memory/IO-statemachine and the monitor switcher is still missing.
For the moment the well-known Picasso driver of the Picasso96 distribution can be used. It is planned to adapt this RTG-system, which currently requires at least a 68020-processor, to the 68000: the planned accelerator board Zeus contains a 50 Mhz 68000 which would be fast enough to supply the graphic board with data.

Software-News: MPlayer-GUI 1.52, BackUp 1.80
Daniel 'Deniil' Westerberg has released updates for two of his tools. MPlayer-GUI 1.52 includes new graphics, support for sb600*-CD/DVD-devices and fixes a bug in the full screen mode of the control panel.
Changes in BackUp 1.80:
- Fixed crash when copying 2GB+ files.
- Added a menu item: "Target is FAT file system". Use this when backing up to a partition with FAT file system to prevent BackUp from copying existing files over and over. The reason is that FAT can only store even seconds (0,2,4,6,..) in the file timestamp so it will not match the Amiga file timestamp.
- Also added auto-detection of FAT file system when doing an incremental backup.
- Added a synchronize mode. When clicking Clean first you will be asked if it should automatically backup when finished. Saves you some time when synchronizing backups.
- BackUp will automatically skip the ".recycled" dir when present in the root of a SFS/2 or JXFS partition. No need to manually put it in the skiplist anymore.
- Fixed size calculation for big files (2-4GB). Files over 4GB will be correctly copied and calculated, except in test mode. The "N bytes extra space was needed" may be wrong with 4GB+ files.
- Made it possible to select files over 2GB for the skiplist

New USB-adapters for keyboards, mouse and joystick announced
In Poland, obviously two new adapters are developed, which can connect an USB mouse and joystick (Youtube-Video) or keyboards (Youtube-Video) with an Amiga. The adapters emulate the original hardware, which does not require any kind of software or driver installation.
So far, there is little information about the adapters, only available in Polish (thread at ppa.pl about the keyboard-adapter). The final devices are supposed to be commercially sold.
