Digital Audio Player plays audio CDs via AHI
Thomas Rapp's Digital Audio Player runs under AmigaOS 3/4 and plays mp3 and AIFF files as well as CDDA data and audio CDs. Because the program uses a buffer, audio CDs should be playable on a Sam460 without getting stuck. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Ancient Domains of Mystery: ADOM 1.2.0 Prerelease 1
After almost ten years Thomas Biskup and Jochen Terstiege have published an update of Ancient Domains of Mystery which is available for Amiga as versions for 68000, 68020 and 68040 processors.
Nearly four weeks before the end of the pledge campaign almost 29.000 US-Dollar have been donated.
If there will be further prereleases depends on the attainment of the 48.000-Dollar goal. These prereleases will be only available for those people who at least pledged 25 Dollar. The final version 1.2.0 then will be available for all. This version will be published "probably something like 4-7 months after the end of the campaign."

MorphOS: LowEndMac article "Amiga Operating System Meets PowerPC Macs"
LowEndMac is a website which is about older Apple computers. In an English-language article under the title link, Sebastian Patting has introduced MorphOS to other Mac users and emphasized the speed of performance of this operating system.
His conclusion: "And it's for those Macintosh users who like to experiment and experience a new operating system on their PowerPC Macs. That's where I see myself, and I had a lot of fun playing around with MorphOS on my eMac.
It is not a full OS X replacement, but it can come close to it, depending on your computer needs. My advice: Download the 30 minute demo and try it out. Try to do your daily and usual tasks for some days and see if MorphOS suits you."

AROS: DOS-Scripts for saving and restoring system configurations
Paolo Besser wrote: Time for a little vacation. Before leaving for two weeks, however, I thouhgt to make a little gift to the whole AROS community. These little scripts will be handy to backup and restore your AROS system environment. Not necessarily Icaros only, it will work also on other distributions and even on nightly builds. The only requirement is having the AROS zip command somewhere (preferably in extras:C, but it should not be important).

AROS: Patch 01 for Icaros Desktop 1.4.5
With the first patch for version 1.4.5 of the AROS-distribution Icaros Desktop, this now includes the NTFS-support for reading such partitions.
Additionally it is now possible to use the Hifi-modes of several soundcards (based on ESS1375/SB128 and CMI8738) and to "handle screens of different resolutions on selected chipsets."

AmigaOS 4: Timberwolf 4.0.1.0213 - RC2 (Update)
Today "Release Candidate 2" of the Firefox-port Timberwolf has been published for AmigaOS 4.
For the further development the aim is to achieve the current status of the Firefox. This has not been possible to realize as part of the finished bounty project because it would be a fast-moving goal. After the release of AmigaOS 4.2 as an absolute necessity for it, OpenGL and WebGL support will be added and thus Timberwolf will be completely hardware accelerated.
The update fixes the following bugs:
- The UI font size now adapts correctly to the system's default font
- Downloaded files can now be directly opened with user-selectable programs, for example, you can use UnArc to open a newly downloaded archive
- Should now work without RANDOM mounted, it will fall back to using pseudo-random numbers (i.e. rand in newlib). RANDOM is an entropy collector, and thus generates much more reliable random numbers. If you can, use RANDOM:
- Should be slightly faster now (html5 benchmark said between 0 and 20 % faster) due to new Cairo build (latest version). Don't expect miracles, though
- The bookmark database is now using a new scheme that should make concurrent access possible. This was necessary to make sure that the user interface is correctly enabled when the browser is launched with a web page (home page/command line). The upside is that it might now work on JXFS (please try). The downside is that this has to be tested and might make it necessary to have an rc3
Download: timberwolf.lha (25 MB)
According to first tests of users, version RC2 seems to cause more considerable problems compared to the previous version. At the moment therefore we cannot recommend to install this version.
Update: (06:50, 28.07.12, snx)
It is possible to use version RC2 in a stable way if you use the files libcairo.so and libsqlite3.so from RC1 instead of the new ones. Additionally delete the directory CurrentUserProfile before you start Timberwolf. (snx) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: PDFToolkit 1.0
Lazar Zoltan's PDFToolkit - it is not to be confused with pdftk from the Linux-world - can merge PDF-documents or split them into single documents. Additionally it can combine two or three PDF files by stamping over or add header/footer/page numbering to existed documents keeping the contents intact.
PDFToolkit was written in Python. Therefore the user-interface (screenshot) could not be realized with Reaction. The program requires the basic Python installation as well as the pyPDF-module written by Mathieu Fenniak.

Hollywood and Hollywood Designer: Online store to close on July 31th, 2012
Andreas Falkenhahn wrote: "Due to personal reasons the Airsoft Softwair online store has to close at the end of July 2012. This means that no more orders can be processed after 31th July, 2012. Thus, everybody who doesn't own Hollywood or Hollywood Designer yet (or still needs the upgrade to the latest versions) should take the opportunity to secure himself a personal copy of this amazing multimedia software NOW because the store will go down on July 31th, 2012. The download versions are delivered instantly via email/WWW download and the CD versions of Hollywood and Hollywood Designer come in a nice digipak. Thank you for your continued support over the last 15 years!"
Upon request of amiga-news.de Falkenhahn explained that there will be support for his products. Updates and new plugins will be published in future as well.
