MorphOS Software Development Kit 3.12
Press release: The MorphOS Development Team would like to announce the immediate availability of the April 2018 release of the MorphOS SDK 3.12. The new SDK introduces support for Objective-C MUI application development, adds a Clang compiler, GCC 6.4.0, updated GCC5 as well as a GIT suite, many updated libraries and components.

Please note that, at this point, the Objective-C support should be considered a demo - both ABI and API are not yet 100% stable. MorphOS 3.12 may require your applications to be recompiled to work.

The new SDK requires at least 2GB of free disk space to install and is available for download in our files section. (snx) (Translation: dr)

WHDLoad: Looking for help for verifying old bugs
The bugtracker of the WHDLoad team contains more than 1500 bugs which are partly very old. Bert Jahn, the author of WHDLoad, suspects that many of the bugs can be refered to e.g. the usage of cracked versions or buggy hardware. Other bugs have not sufficient details to be able to reconstruct the bug.

Jahn is going to reduce the amount of open bug report as far as possible. Therefore he asks users of WHDLoad to check some of the open bugs listed in the database and to give a feedback if they could be reconstructed. In this way the team can recognize which bugs have priority. Very old bugs which nobody could reconstruct will be deleted.

If users should find new problems with WHDLoad versions of games then they are asked to post them in the bugtracker instead of writing them in the forum. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Crowdfunding: History of Commodore - The Final Years
Started with Commodore: A Company on the Edge and Commodore: The Amiga Years, Brian Bagnall now is working on the thirs part of his triology about the history of Commodore.

According to Bagnall "this book is mostly written and now requires extensive editing and polish". He has started a campaign for crowdfunding the third volume: The book is supposed to be available at the end of the year.

So far 24,862 Euro were pledged and thus the goal of 15,906 Euro exceeded. Similar to the previous book "stretch goals" were defined like metallic foil stamp on spine, pages of color photos or embossed title on front cover which can be implemented if the required money will be donated. In order to achieve the same product quality, about 57.000 Euro have to be pre-financed by May 16th. (cg) (Translation: dr)
