Internet over parallel port: plipbox 0.3
With Christian 'lallafa' Vogelgsang's plipbox Amigas without many extensions can go online. The Arduino-based adapter can be connected to the parallel port and provides a connection to the Ethernet-port of the Arduino board. The magPLIP-protocol is used.
Version 0.3 includes updates of the firmware and of the Amiga driver which introduces a MAC-Bridge.

AmigaOS 4: WLAN-driver atheros5000.device 1.4
With the atheros5000.device a network board driver for AmigaOS 4 is available for WLAN-PCI-boards (54 Mbps, 802.11g). The WPA/WPA2-encryption as well as WEP are supported. PCI-Express-boards may also work but have not been tested.
For AROS and MorphOS this driver which was written by Neil Cafferkey is already available. A port for AmigaOS 3.x probably will not succeed due to the DMA-requirements.

System-Patch for A3000/4000: ApolloFix loads 680x0.library to OnBoard-RAM
André 'Ratte' Pfeiffer has written a patch for A3000-/A4000-users which always loads the 68040 and 68060 libraries to the virtual memory of the main board. This helps Apollo accelerator boards working without any problems with the reset-routines of some versions of the 68060.library. The author supposes that this patch improves the system stability of other accelerator boards as well.

MorphOS 3.2 released
Press release: The MorphOS development team is proud to announce the public release of MorphOS 3.2, which introduces support for Power Mac G5 workstations, iBook G4 laptops and additional PowerBook G4 models.
The 3.2 release also has a strong focus on improved network support with a completely new and improved NetStack core as well as support for wireless networks. In addition, there are several new network-related tools such as VNC client, a Remote Desktop Client and a tool showing detailed network statistics.
As usual, the latest release also offers many new features and bug fixes. For an overview of the included changes, please read our release notes.
We strongly urge new users to carefully read our installation and troubleshooting guides before they attempt to install MorphOS for the first time.

Text viewer: EvenMore 0.77, with MorphOS-port
Chris Perver's text viewer EvenMore now is also available as MorphOS-port. Changes in version 0.77:
- Sped up scrolling by storing some commonly used values from nexted objects in variables instead. Also did the same for freeing memory for plugins.
- Updated OpenURL library code for version 7.10. Hopefully this will allow the OpenURL function to work on MorphOS.
- The VANILLAKEY event was stopping the string gadgets from working on the MorphOS port. Changed code to use MapRawKey() instead.
- Now uses ScrollRaster() function instead of ClipBlit() for scrolling window contents. ClipBlit was faster on AmigaOS 3, but did not work whenever a window was moved out of the screen on MorphOS.

Flickerfixer: Indivison AGA Mk2 CR A1200/4000T
From now on the Indivision AGA Mk2 is available again in different shops. Individual Computers has called its slightly reworked version "Cost Reduced" - the DVI-port now is molded and "components of the small DVI-connector board have now moved to the main flickerfixer". There are not any other changes.
Due to the changed size of the board (picture) maybe the Indivision Mk2 AGA does not collide with a Blizzard Vision any longer but this could not be tested by the developer.
Jens Schönfeld wrote: "The new version "Indivision AGA MK2cr" uses a different connector for the DVI cable. It gets in the way of electrolytic capacitor CE164C in the A4000T. If you want to use the new version in the A4000T, you need to replace that capacitor with a lower-profile ceramic type."

MorphOS: Return to PowerUP-support?
Version 1.4.5 of the PowerPC operating system MorphOS, which still is available, was the last version which did support accelerator boards developed by phase 5.
Now two screenshots have been discovered which show the still unreleased version MorphOS 3.2 on an Amiga: morphos_pup3_1.jpg, morphos_pup3_2.jpg.

FastView 1.2
FastView is a MUI-based picture viewer which shows the content of a directory as thumbnails. In version 1.2 pictures can be shown via double-click in its real size or via single-click in screen size. With the spacebar you can choose your favourite view. Additionally there are more translations and some minor bugs have been fixed.

NetDock 50.6
Netdock is a "Docky" which shows the network activity. In version 50.6 with tooltype you can avoid to show the used interface. Additionally a bug of the AmiUpdate-support was fixed.

AmigaOS 4: OSDLauncher 0.3.6
OSDLauncher simulates the multimedia-On-Screen-Displays. Instead of controlling multimedia functions like "louder", "quiter" or "break" with global hotkeys, with these shortcuts OSDLauncher is started first.
The programm then shows the current state (volume, start/stop, eject etc.) and transfers the command via ARexx to the multimedia application (screenshot, video).
OSDLauncher requires AllKey, Mixer, Eject.Os4, MUI_Calc, das PNG-IconModule, AmigaAmp 3.8 and WBRun 53.4. The author explained the installation in the Readme-file and pointed out that this is still a beta version.
Changes in version 0.3.6:
- Added ARexx engine to OSDLauncher
- Added tooltypes: nosound; nobootsound; timeoutsingleaction; timeoutsoundaction; stacksize; fadetimesingleaction; fadetimesoundaction
- Fixed a small window that appeared on the image, thanks to Crisot for fixing this
- Added a new script to protect the API during work
- Added options lock and unlock to protect the API on sound volume
- Added options:
- amigaampnotpresent
- amigaampispresent
- calculatornotpresent
- calculatorispresent
- homenotpresent
- homeispresent
- mailnotpresent
- mailispresent
- filemanagernotpresent
- filemanagerispresent
- blankernotpresent
- blankerispresent
- Add functions for AMIGAAMP => aamp-backward; aamp-stop; aamp-forward
- Fixed problems with internal synchronisation
- Supported keys: "start-filemanager", "blanker-matrix"
- Added scripts filemanager.arexx and matrixblanker.arexx
- Added ARexx script for playing after AmigaAMP stops (internal code of OSDLauncher)
- Fixed playing after AmigaAMP stops with all other options for AmigaAMP
- Added internal screensaver engine with ARexx port for OSDLauncher [the first screensaver is Matrix (original code by Tixlegeek) and the second is flipclock (original code by Ciro Ippolito)] based on sdl.library with all my optimisations and a bonus for integration with OSDLauncher engine
