AROS: Icaros Desktop 1.5
In version 1.5 of Paolo Besser's AROS-distribution Icaros Desktop the files layout, the installation process as well as the the emulation environment have been completely overhauled. The emulation environment now starts ADF-images as well as harddrive-based applications without requiring the original Kickstart-files.
Icaros 1.5 now is based on the latest AROS-kernel ("ABI v1 Backport") which is supposed to provide improved speed, compatibility and stability. For users who have problems with this kernel a "Legacy Kernel Edition" of Icaros is avilable.

GUI-development: MUI Royale 1.0 for Hollywood
Press release: This is it! Airsoft Softwair has saved their greatest firework for New Year's Day! MUI Royale is a plugin for Hollywood (screenshots: 1, 2, 3) that finally allows you to easily create MUI GUIs with Hollywood. MUI Royale supports over 40 MUI classes including popular third-party classes like TextEditor.mcc and TheBar.mcc. Creating and managing menustrips is also fully supported.
The plugin sets new standards concerning the ease of use because the GUI layout can be conveniently defined using an XML file that is converted into a MUI GUI by MUI Royale on the fly. GUI design has never been so easy! Of course, new features of MUI 3.9 (AmigaOS 4) and MUI 4.0 (MorphOS) are also supported.
The highlight of MUI Royale, however, is certainly its inbuilt Hollywood MUI class. This class allows dynamic embedding of complete Hollywood displays into MUI GUIs which can be used to combine the best of both worlds - MUI's proven GUI skills and Hollywood's unequalled multimedia capabilities - into one powerful application, limited by the scope of your creativity only.
MUI Royale requires at least Hollywood 5.2 and is provided free of charge for all users of Hollywood. It is available for AmigaOS 3 (m68k), AmigaOS 4 (PPC), MorphOS (PPC), and AROS (i386). The package comes with almost 20 example scripts, many of which are direct ports from the MUI 3.8 SDK by Stefan Stuntz, but there are also original developments like demonstrations of how to create a video player using the combined power of Hollywood and MUI. On top of that MUI Royale comes with extensive documentation as a 280 page PDF file which is also available in the HTML, AmigaGuide, and CHM formats thanks to the Hollywood documentation system.
All this makes MUI Royale the truly royal MUI experience, carefully crafted for you Kings and Queens of MUI!

MorphOS: Odyssey Web Browser 1.18
Fabien 'Fab' Coeurjoly has released another update of the WebKit-engine based web browser Odyssey for MorphOS. Among others the HTML5-compatibility was increased and uploading documents to Google Docs and Drive was improved. All changes are listed in the Readme-file. As usual there is also a version without SVG-support which uses less memory.
Please note: If you have used instead of the version 1.17 from the website of the author the one from the MorphOS-CD 3.0/3.1, so please overwrite the file conf/font/fonts.conf during the installation.

MorphOS: Status report on G5-port
As a result of the bounty project two G5-PowerMacs as well as money have been donated for the port von MorphOS (amiga-news.de reported). Now there is also a first status report.
wielkastopa wrote: "I got the first G5 machine set up on the 3rd of December and I have been busy with the MorphOS port since then. Basically the work so far has consisted of two major parts: Reorganising the Quark source code so that support for a second CPU architecture could be added and writing and testing all the code required to support the PPC64 architecture, and in particular the Powermac G5s.
The G5 is incompatible to regular PowerPC CPUs in a number of, for MorphOS, important aspects, both when it comes to the supervisor mode and the user mode. Unfortunately some of the supervisor mode incompatibilities have been done in such a way that executing code written for PPC32 on the G5 will run without errors, but subtle differences in the operation of some instructions caused problems with system stability which were hard to track down. The good news is that I believe that all of these problems have now been tracked down and the system is running stable. When it comes to user mode differences, the G5 is lacking CPU instructions which are widely used throughout MorphOS' 68k emulators. Luckily Piru did some changes there and the emulators should work fine on the G5 now, although I haven't really tested it.
So the status now is that the G5 boots to MorphOS and seems to run stable, however only USB and the on-board IDE interfaces are support by MorphOS drivers right now. The next things I will focus on is getting the on-board NIC and fan control working. Hopefully neither of those two will be particularly difficult, so that will likely be done some time this week."

Javascript: Scripted Amiga Emulator 0.7
Rupert Hausberger's Scripted Amiga Emulator is written in Javascript and thus should run under all modern web browsers, but so far its completely supported by Chrome only.
Changes in version 0.7 (24.12.2012):
- Common:
- Chaned the project-name from 'Janus' to 'SAE' (Scripted Amiga Emulator)
- Separated the GUI form the core and rewrote most of it
- Simplified the whole code. This means, that functions are called faster
- Ported new Copper-, Blitter-, Audio-, Disk- and event-handling code from WinUAE 2.5.0
- Moved all "beam-functions" to events.js, for faster access
- Added "CPU usage" to the GUI
- Added "Hall of Fame"

- Added support for exact cycling. The CPU have now 7.09 MHz on PAL and 7.16 MHz on NTSC respectively
- Added option for "Original" and "Maximum" speed.
- Audio:
- Added a ring-buffer before output. No more "bagpipe"-like audio
- Added a option to just emulate the hardware, but not to play any sound, e.g. "Agony" was not starting, if audio was disabled
- Display:
- Switched from RGB to the 565 texture-format-encoding in WebGL, which gives a little more speed
- Added support and a option for 4x scaling
- Fixed screen-draging in lo-hires-modes
- Added a option to disable the output. Can be used to better play music-demos
- Disk:
- Added support for different speed-modes
- Added support for extended ADF-files
- Enabled write support (to memory)
- Input:
- The F-keys do work normaly now, i.e F5 doesn't reload the emulator, backspace doesn't go to the last page, etc.
- Fixed bug in the joystick-emulation
- New games in version 0.7:
- Alien Breed Special Edition 92
- Boby Blows Galactic
- Barbarian
- Dynablaster
- North'n'South
- Prince of Persia
- Project-X

Arcade-Puzzler: Amiganitzu
Amiganitzu (screenshot) is a clone of the DOS-classic Paganitzu developed by Apogee Software. The Amiga port of the arcade puzzle game is similar to Chip's Challenge and includes all levels of the Shareware version of the DOS-original as well as 10 new sections.
Amiganitzu should run on all Amigas with at least Kickstart 2.0 and is available as LhA-archive and as bootable Disk-image. If there are any stability problems then the author recommends to increase the stack to 50000 Bytes.
