Speech synthesizer: espeak 1.1
The Amiga port of the speech synthesizer espeak wriiten by Jonathan Duddington currently is available on Aminet. Espeak speaks 75 languages in 19 different versions. The Amiga version is identical to the original Linux version. The audio.device is used for the speech output, but it is also possible giving it out into a file. In this way it is possible first to create a wave-file on slower systems and then to play it. The translator.library is not required.

Podcast: AmiCast 24 - Interview with Jon Lennart Aasenden (Amibian.js)
In the 24th issue of his English-language podcast, Krzysztof Radzikowski has talked to Jon Lennart Aasenden. One of his software projects is the Smart Mobile Studio, a development environment, in which programs can be written in Smart Pascal and then compiled as object-orientated JavaScript. As an example project Amibian.js is included.
While Gunnar Kristjansson's Amibian is an image for the Raspberry Pi starting right into Amiga emulation (amiga-news.de reported), Amibian.js is an AmigaOS emulation in JavaScript, which similar to FriendUP runs in a browser (Amiga Cloud Desktop).

Retro aracde machines in Amiga design
At "Ray's Arcades" custom build aracde machines are available which are equipped with a PC. The system emulates ten - which are not specified - classic computer and consoles. The cases are made of wood and are rather small (610x340x360mm) so they can be transported. Many different designs are available.
You can also order predefined design templates. Additional to themes "Sonic the Hedgehog" or "Pacman" an Amiga version is also offered.

New, open source Gotek firmware: FlashFloppy
FlashFloppy is a alternative firmware for the floppy emulator Gotek, which original firmware meanwhile is not developed further. Additional to the proprietary alternative HxC, now an open source option is available. A first alpha version has been released. Currently FlashFloppy only works if no other (external) disk drives are connected.
Besides, the open source FlashFloppy File Selector also is available, which can be used to choose the currently used disk image under AmigaOS.

AmigaOS 4: Video of latest development status of "Tower 57"
The arcade shooter "Tower 57" which was financed in summer 2015 by crowdfunding has not been finished yet. But Daniel Müßener updates his Amiga port of the game which is also in development. Recently the JSON-library had to be completely rewritten because the library used by the original version didn't build with Müßener's compiler. Now Müßener has published a video at Youtube which demonstrates the latest devlopment status of the AmigaOS version. The author explicitly has pointed out that this a unfinished preversion of the game.
