Amigakit announced datatype system
Last year the British retailer Amigakit acquired the rights to the AKDatatypes developed by Andreas Kleinert. In a discussion on amiga.org, Matthew Leaman gives insights into the current stage of development. He also explained that Amigakit is not only going to rework the datatypes but also to write a datatypes.library as well as a new AddDatatypes command. For the future it is planned to work "on the datatype system in any meaningful way" which will be the foundation "for many progressive developments".
Some users remarked that the development has not been coordinated with the team of AmigaOS 3.2 and thus maybe some work will be done twice or will result in incompatibilities. Leaman has responded that due to the legal disputes regarding AmigaOS 3.1.4 a co-operation would be risky. Besides, the "professional" (quote from Leaman) developer who is writing the datatype system for Amigakit is paid for his work - but the OS developers would be not.

As usual a "boxed edition" will be sold on amigastore.eu which currently can be ordered via e-mail from the developers. If you want to have the free digital version then you also should contact the developers.
Update: 29.06.20, 17:30, cg):
Fixed the name of the second developer: Gonzáles' partner when creating Air Mail was Ricardo Vieira. (cg) (Translation: dr)

New interpreter for Maniac Mansion and Co.: Parrot
Another "player" for the game data of classic point'n-click adventures is developed called "Parrot". At least the SCUMM based games developed by Lucasfilm are supposed to run. In contrast to existing solutions like ScummVM, Parrot is being developed especially for the Amiga and therefore is optimized for this system and its chipset. For example before the first launch, all data are converted into typical Amiga formats to make them playable also on less powerful copmputers. At least "an ECS Amiga, running Workbench 2" is required.

Remote access to Amigas: squirt
"squirt" is a server having only 5 kb which is launched on Amigas and then allows the remote access to the computer via the network. Using special command line programs you then can control the Amiga with the help of any other computer. In a text-based console also file transfers, switching directories and executing (non-active) Amiga commands are possible. Additionally squirt can be used as backup solution: A special command creates incremental backups of directories.
Currently squirt only is available as source code and has to be compiled by yourself. If the commands for the remote access only work under Unix-like systems or also under Windows, we cannot say. The system currently allows only anonymous access - therefore the author strongly recommends: do not use the tool on Amiga systems which are connected to the Internet.
