Accelerator board: ACA 620 soon available again
A week ago we announced that the ACA 620 temporarily had to be taken off the market due to stability problems. According to Jens "Paradroid" Schönfeld the problem was fixed and the hardware has passed a stress test lasting several hours.
Soon the product should be availble again.

Hyperion: AmigaOS 4.1 Update 6, automatic updates in future
The AmigaOS 4-team has released update 6 for users of AmigaOS 4.1. Registered customers can download the update from website of Hyperion. The update does not include any bug fixes but is supposed to be the basis for future updates:
Instead of collecting minor updates and relasing them in big packages ("Update 5", "Update 6"...) new versions of AmigaOS-components in future will be available immediately via the simple package manager "AmiUpdate". A new preferences tool called "Update" will manage the automatic updates. Additionally a new "Update software..." menu item on Workbench now launches AmiUpdate.
"Only registered users will be able to download updates. To register your AmigaOS serial number go to www.hyperion-entertainment.biz. During the registration process a user name and password will be created. You will be prompted for your user name and password the first time you try to access the update.amigaos.net server with AmiUpdate."

Podcast: Giana Sisters Tribute (BitJam-Episode #161)
Jürgen Beck wrote: Even little girls are getting old one day. Once upon a time, in 1987 to be precise, we played around with two cute girls on C64 and Amiga: The Great Giana Sisters. A great jump 'n run game in the style of Mario, featuring fantastic music by sound magician Chris Hülsbeck.
Now, 25 years later, a new game with the twin girls has been released. After a successful Kickstarter campaign Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams was brought to life by Black Forest Games. With music by Chris Hülsbeck himself, Fabian del Priore and the metal guys from Machinae Supremacy plus awesome graphics where you can switch fluently between the beautiful landscapes and dark places this download title captured our hearts by storm.
Now we want to celebrate the 25th birthday of the Giana Sisters together with the creators and you! The BitJam podcast episode #161 features not only the original Giana theme, but also music from the DS version of the game, which was released in 2009, the brand new Twisted Dreams game as well as some cool remixes. Jump, dash and twirl together with us through a beautiful soundscape!

MorphOS: Scriba 1.3.0 (China-Update)
Scriba is a simple text processing software which is still in development by Carsten Siegner. Since version 1.3.0 it is possible to write Chinese characters with the help of a input method. For this it is important to know how these Chinese characters are transcribed in Pinyin. Additionally an Unicode-font is required which can display Chinese characters.
Scriba now also has an ARexx-port with three commands. Complete ASCII-texts or unknown characters in UTF8-code can be added with the Rexx-command to an existing text.
