The pre-release version for AmigaOne X5000 will be replaced by a future full AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition update. Until that time registered AmigaOne X5000 owners will be able to download machine specific critical updates and bug fixes as and when they become available and will be entitled to a free digital copy of the full AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition Update #1 when it is released by Hyperion Entertainment.

Demo scene: Voting for charts of seventh issue of "Versus"
After a longer break, the scene group Nukleus and VOID are going to release a new issue of his "chart mag" Versus. Versions for Amiga (OCS) and AmigaOS 4 are planned. On the website of Nukleaus a votesheet was established, where you can vote for your favourite coder, graphic artist, productions or parties. It is not necessary to vote in all sections or to nominate five candidates. The organizers hope to get as much feedback as possible to create the charts as representative as possible.

Visual effects Pioneer: Ron Thornton died
"After a short battle with liver disease" Ron Thornton died on 21. November 2016. He was 59. Together with Paul Beigle-Bryant, he was one of the pioneers using computers for creating visual effects for space films.
His animations created on an Amiga with the videotoaster and Newteks LightWave 3D have had a formative influence on the TV serie "Babylon 5". For the pilot of this serie, "The Gathering", in 1993 he received the Emmy, the most important award for TV in USA.

Game Construction Kit: RedPill 0.4.4 (alpha)
RedPill is a Game Construction Kit written in AmiBlitz2, which is supposed to help developing games of diverse genres - released videos show ports of Pacman and Pang. RedPill is compatible to AGA and ECS, the "player" for running the finished games requires 1 MB Chip as well as some Fast-RAM.
On Internet so far there only is a closed Facebook group, but you can contact the authors via eMail. The latest alpha version can be downloaded via Google Drive.
Now the RedPill editor tries not to use a FPU. More changes of version 0.4.4:
- Tiles can have 3 shapes: Normal, Ramp Up and Ramp Down. Define them in the Tiles screen.
- Audio: Amiga Mods can be played. Define them in the audio menu and use Play Mod trigger to play them. They are loaded at play moment, it is better to play them once at the start of the level.
- Audio: Amiga IFF sounds can be played. Define them in the audio menu and use Play Sound trigger to play them.
- Sprite color Remap now gives an error message when failing.
- Sprite generation from sprite sheets is more robust.
- Physics and platform code has been redone (again) to support the new tile shapes.
- GameObjects process has been slightly optimized.
- When editting values the previous value is not lost anymore.
- When editing levels now you can use F to flood fill the current tile.
