Text viewer: EvenMore 0.80
EvenMore is a text viewer written by Chris Perver with ECX in Amiga E. Changes in version 0.80:
- Optimized RTF2Text plugin a little. Fixed bug where a line break instead of a space between a command and ordinary text would cause the plugin to skip a word. Also patched a bug in the RTF code generated by LibreOffice on Linux. LibreOffice stores pen 1 as 0, but other pen numbers start at 2.
- HTML2Text plugin will now display preformatted text as the system default font.
- A bug in the highlighting caused the system default and screen fonts over several lines to be rendered in all the same font.
- Fixed bug. Shadow text and strikethrough styles would not carry over to the next line.
- Created basic PageStream2Text plugin. Still to implement all of the text styles and colours that it offers.
- Created outline text style. ESC[52m turns on outline text, and ESC[53m turns it off again. For use in the new PageStream plugin.

Workbench enhancement: BetterWB 3.6
Similar to AIAB, AmiKit or AmigaSYS, BetterWB is a collection of Workbench enhancements for AmigaOS 3.1, which are useful but rather simple and therefore require low hardware configuration. Changes in version 3.6:
- Full 68040, 68060 and ACA accelerators autodetection and driver support with the new HardWiz
- Rebooter is a new very handy application for restricted memory systems
- EnvHandler will save quite a lot of ram by optimising envarc (Thanks PeterK)
- Easily customize and lock palettes with FullPalette
- Updated icon.library to version 46.4.339 which is faster and less memory hungry
- Updated PFS3 aio to latest build (19-march-2014)
- Updated DMS to version 1.53
- Added a small text with a couple of tips after switching to GlowIcons
- Gzip is back. It is required for ADZ support in TSGUI (Thanks Jost)
- Added missing deficons (tool & project)
- Changed default position of the global trashcan whenever it is activated, so it doesnt get in the way
- For the love of the boing ball: replaced workbench´s glowicon to suit Jarek´s taste ;)
- Replaced the standard trashcan icon with one that looks more elegant
- BetterWB has now its own envarc drawer with wich you can easily check wether BetterWB is installed, which version is it, and the extensions it has enabled (FullPalette, GlowIcons, Rebooter)
- Plus a few more minor fixes and tweaks

Punk Rock with the Amiga: PAULA POWERED
If music is made with Amiga, often this is Synth-Popper like Blue Metal Rose or Techno - but the French-British combo PAULA POWERED plays Punk Rock. The self-described trio ("singing, guitar, A1200") calls its Low-Fi sound as "Digital Punk" (Youtube video). The tracker Octamed is used on the Amiga.

AROS: AEROS 7 Plus available for free for one day
As part of the test run of his app store (amiga-news.de reported), today Pascal Papara offers his Linux-hosted AROS-distribution AEROS 7 for the Raspberry Pi in the plus-version for free (installation guide). This version includes the lx-command, with which it is possible to launch Linux programms from the AROS-Workbench "Wanderer".
So far the App-Store can only accessed with a text-based client, which requires a registration available under the title link (at the very bottom of the page: "Enter the Matrix"). After donwloading the client, you have to control the menu by entering short commands. Once you have logged in and "purchased" the AEROS Plus (article number 58) for zero Indiecoins, you can download the distribution. From tomorrow on the distribution will cost 700 Indiecoins.

MorphOS: Spreedy 0.7
"Spreedy" written by Carsten Siegner is a spreedsheet editor which is a simple but more powerful version of the editor included in the text processing software Scriba. The main focus is on the compatibility with programms like Excel and OpenOffice, which can also open Spreedy-files.
Version 0.7 now can automatizes some processes in spreadsheets, e.g. "conditional format" of cells, which makes it possible to assign predeterminated formats to numbers or characters. Furthermore the function "=TEXT()" allows to automatically create calendars.
Loading and editing Excel documents now works without any faults and no longer cause crashes. Carsten Siegner also started to add other languages to the programm.
