AmigaOS 4: WarpView 1.06
WarpView loads pictures via datatypes and shows them with Warp3D - which enables fast scaling, but uses more video-RAM than traditional picture viewer. Changes:
- Fixed a bug in the Blur and Unsharp Mask code which could cause crashes
- Implemented preview for Blur and Unsharp Mask filters
- Added new noise reduction filter (experimental)
- Added new Lanczos Sharp scaling method (Lanczos resampling)
- Added new Intensity Adjustment option (Brightness, Contrast, Gamma)
- Public keyfile is now included

AROS: Distribution AROS Vision 2.3 with Wildfire 7 and Games Master System
Olaf Schönweiß has released version 2.3 of his AROS/68k-distribution AROS Vision. It includes the full version of the animation and special effects programm Wildfire 7 as well as the latest version of AMOS Professional (bug fixes). Additionally, the "Games Master System" is included which is a developer kit for games. This is now Freeware.
Based on this, a AMOS-Pro-extension was integrated (command list ). This is a little example which opens an AGA-screen and loads an IFF-picture:
G Init GMS
G Screen Open 0,320,256,256,lowres
G Load IFF "clown.pic",0
G Wait LMB
G Reset
Additional to other extensions of the distribution like Netsurf AGA and the support of Tracker-modules of the Mod-file format, there now is also an online version of the tutorial for the included file manager Directoy Opus Magellan.
AROS Vision is tested under WinUAE as well as under FS-UAE.

AROS: Experimental distribution Icaros Desktop 1.5.2 WIP 5
Paolo Besser has released another "experimental" version 1.5.2 WIP 5 ("work in progress") of his AROS-distribution Icaros Desktop. You can find a list of changes under the title link. The last stable version 1.5.2 was released in May.
Please note that the WIP-versions are incompatible to the official ones of the distribution. They are based on Krzysztof Śmiechowicz' back ports of functions of the development branch ABIv1 to the binary interface of version 0. Therefore this version is meant for users who want to support this development by testing and reporting feedbacks.

AROS: Survey on interest on AEROS for Sam4x0- and AmigaOne-X1000-boards
Under the title link Pascal Papara has announced to adapt his Linux-hosted AROS-distribution AEROS to the PowerPC-Boards Sam440ep (Flex) and Sam460ex developed by ACube Systems and AmigaOne X1000 developed by A-EON Technology working under AmigaOS 4, if at least 50 users register interest. - In this context he mentioned that by comparision for his Raspberry-Pi-version he has 300 registered users.
An advantage of AEROS - additional the access to Linux - compared to the native version of AROS developed by Jason McMullan for the Sam460ex, is that it can use the ABI-V1 back ports of Krzysztof 'deadwood' Śmiechowicz which among others make it possible to use Directory Opus 5.

AmigaOS 4: Development site for future MUI-versions established
Thore Böckelmann and Jens Maus wrote: "From now on a public website for interested AmigaOS-4-developers and users is available under the title link who use the Magic User Interface (MUI).
This site is meant as a focal point for MUI-documentations, FAQs and updates. Furthermore the website is to use by the MUI-developers for developeing further MUI for AmigaOS 4. All available MUI-versions on this website are offered with the explicit permission of the original MUI-author (Stefan Stuntz).
In order to be able to completely configure the user-interface and to change the standard skin, these versions require (similar to MUI 3.8) a keyfile, which can be only ordered via the MUI-Homepage of Stefan Stuntz. If you already have a key for MUI 3.8 or MUI 3.9, you can use it without any limitations with the new version.
Additional to the download of the developed AmigaOS-4-versions of MUI, a public bugtracker is available. All AmigaOS-4-developers and users are very welcome to report identified problems and bugs there. You can also post ideas and suggestions which then will be integrated in future versions. Currently anonymous bugreports are accepted but the MUI-developers asked every interested user to create an account to simplify the communication for solving a problem and to enable direct consultations."

X500 case: Boingball and Butterfly keys (Update)
For his retro case X500 (amiga-news.de reported) Loriano 'TheDaddy' Pagni now also offers keyboards. The keys are printed in colour with over 300 dpi and have a Boingball or the MorphOS butterfly Morpho menelaus (picture).
Update: (20:30, 05.02.14, snx)
According to a current comment, the keys are for a new version of the case (called X500 Evo instead of X500 Plus), but should - according to Pagni - also fit to other mechanical keyboards like Ducky Zero, Filco or Das Keyboard. (snx) (Translation: dr)
