Text editor with Kickstart 1.2-compatibility: Redit 1.2
Kai Scherrer's text editor Redit runs without any limitations on an Amiga equipped with Kickstart 1.2, but is compatible to higher versions of the system as well. Apart from the libraries in the ROM, usually no other system files are required (under Kickstart 2 or higher the asl.library can be used). The editor can also be started from an emergency disk or after booting without startup-sequence.

AmigaOS 4: E-UAE 0.8.29 with integrated JIT-compiler (beta)
For quite some time, Álmos Rajnai (Petunia) has been working on the integration of a JIT-68k-compiler into the Amiga emulator E-UAE. As a result, 68k-programms could be run much faster under UAE.
Today Rajnai has released an early beta version of E-UAE-JIT. So far not all 68k-commands were implemented. The author urgently requests to carefully read the included readme-file.
The status of the JIT-compiler (enabled, enabled but inactive, not available) is shown by a new "LED" which is next to the simulated drives-LED - they possibly have to be activated in the configuration menu. JIT-compiling only works if UAE at least emulates a 68020-CPU and if the CPU-caches are enabled.
A MorphOS-port is in progress.

Jump'n Run: Solid Gold for Amiga 500
After about a year, Frank (code) and Gerrit Wille (graphics) have released their game "Solid Gold". According to the developers the game is a mix of Turrican, Giana Sisters and Rick Dangerous. It is a Jump'n Run game "with soft 8-way scrolling over four worlds with different graphics and music".
Solid Gold requires an Amiga with at least one Megabyte RAM (512 KB Chip, 512 KB Fast) as well as Kickstart 1.2 or higher. It is compatible to faster and more equipped computers but does not use the performance.
The source code of the game will be published in some days under a Public Domain licence. Another commercial release of the game with a professional case is planned.

Accelerator board: Flash Update for the ACA500
Jens 'Paradroid' Schönfeld by Individual Computers has made available a Flash update for his Amiga 500-expension ACA500:
- fixed unreliable entering of menu with mouse button
- fixed star field and expert menu random settings bug, does not alter memory any more when menu is not started
- Gurus were not shown, because our serial debugging caused launching the Rom-debugger. It is an experimental fix - please check it out!
- acamaprom stability updates
- possible workaround for display
In order to overwrite the Flash-ROM you have to unzip the file and copy it into the main directory of a FAT-formated memory card. The card then is put in the AUX-slot of the ACA500 (and all other cards must be removed).
After rebooting the computer, by pressing F10 you enter the "expert menu". By pressing the F-key you can to initialize the Flash-update.
