Jump and Run: Sqrxz for OCS-Amigas
Within three months Frank "phx" Wille in cooperation with developer team "Retroguru" have ported the Jump'n Run Sqrxz to the Amiga. Just like the original this version has 16 levels and 18 chiptunes. The game runs on each Amiga with at least Kickstart 1.2 and 512 KB Fast RAM and Chip RAM.
The port has been already finished three weeks ago but not published because it should take part in the Demodays 2012 for the "Interactive" competition.
At first the game was sold as limited edition on disks - for a fee of 2 Euro. Soon there will be a version which can be installed on harddrive as well as an ADF-diskimage.

Janus - Javascript-based Amiga emulator
Rupert Hausberger's Janus is an Amiga emulator written in Javascript which should work in each modern web-browser. The source code has about 13000 lines of code. Half of it was taken from UAE. A fast computer, ADF or Kickstart files, a browser wit HTML 5 support, WebGL, WebAudio, DOMParser, FileReader and Typed arrays are required.
The Readme currently warns of diverse existing compatibility problems but some games already work - e.g. Alien Breed, Another World or Turrican 1/2.
According to the author he will not have time during the next months to develop the project further. Therefore he decided to publish this early version in order to looking for and win other supporters.

MorphOS: Software-Synthesizer U1Synth 1.1a
U1Synth is a "simple audio synthesizer and a "sideefect" of MorphOS.pl bounty for adding media encoding API to Reggae library. Its synthesis engine is rather simple, it just shapes a sine wave with adjustable ADSR envelope. The main purpose of U1Synth is to serve as example of using Reggae encoders API, writing Reggae custom classes and just an example of good MUI programming style. For this reason the program is released with source code on BSD license."

Text editor: Annotate 3.0 (AmigaOS 3/4, AROS)
The open source text editor Annotate among others features syntax highlighting, unlimited undo/redo and support of several clipboards.
Version 3.0 is available for AmigaOS 3/4 and AROS. A MorphOS-port also is existing but still not working. Changes in the latest release:
- Completely rewrote Ed Exchange so it can now be used along-side the editor windows as a quicklist of editors
- Added the setting to have a scrollbar on the right side
- Implemented different mark modes: Ann, Notepad, Quick where NotePad makes Annotate's selection of text behave like "normal" text editors
- Annotate can now open on a custom screen with a chosen backdrop image, or on the frontmost public screen
- Added find/replace history so you can use up/down arrow keys to navigate old searches

AROS: 68k-Distribution AROS Vision 1.5.3
Olaf Schönweiß has updated his AROS/68k-distribution. It is a mix of AROS and AmigaOS software (English tutorial). Version 1.5.3 includes an unregistered version of WHDLoad. Real Amiga-Kickstart-ROMs must be installed by the user.
With this solution games can be played which currently do not work with the AROS Kickstart Replacement - the author mentioned "Defender of the Crown" as an example.
The next project of Olaf Schönweiß will be a "light"-version of "Aros Vision" for real Amiga hardware.

AmigaOne X1000: Costs for used CPU about 100% higher than expected
On amigaworld.net users discussed why the AmigaOne X1000 are delivered so slowly. Trevor Dickinson from A-EON also posted a comment: "There were some minor logistical delays from Varisys set against the backdrop of rising PA-SEMI CPU (~100%) prices and other components."
In a interview one and a half year ago Dickinson specified the costs for the PA Semi-CPU in the X1000 with 500. It is not clear if this is the original price or not.
Dickinson said: "We decided to absorb the hardware price rises and not pass them on to consumers."

Open-Source-Project Nano VM: Developer für Amiga-port wanted
Stefan Pietzonke wrote: "For my virtual machine Nano I am looking for a developer who will create a build for AmigaOS and AROS.
Currently there are builds for Linux and Windows. Nano-applications can be launched on all supported systems without any changes.
For Nano VM there is an assembler and the N-compiler that I developed. With N it is easy to write programs which can use all features of the VM.
Nano supports multithreading, functions can be started as seperate thread. In the subversion-repository there is simple webserver as an example for multithreading."
