TCP-Stack: Roadshow for AmigaOS 2/3 in January, Demo-version available
Roadshow is a TCP-stack which was ported by Olaf "Olsen" Barthels and which is used under AmigaOS 4. About 10 years ago it was intended to release another version for earlier AmigaOS. This project failed due to the lack of a graphical user-interface.
Meanwhile Barthel decided to realise the project without a GUI and instead to explain the text-based configuration files with a manual. Because Roadshow can only be run from the command line shell and the printable PDF reference document which has more than 100 pages the author and APC&TCP wrote that "Roadshow is expected to be most useful for knowledgable, experienced Amiga users rather than for beginners."
The demo version of the stack is limited to 15 minutes and is already available on the website of APC&TCP. According to Barthel the release of the full version is planned for January. The price has not yet been set but Barthel guesses it will be 20-25 Euro for the download-version and a little bit more for the CD. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Puzzle game: G.E.M.Z. 1.1 for all Amiga systems
G.E.M.Z. written by Fabio Falcucci and Pascal Papara is a commercial puzzle game. The goal of the game is to push bricks of the same colour closely together to make them disappear (screenshot, video).
In version 1.1 there are some new preferences. Additionally the programm code was highly optimized:
- Got several FPS increase in all scenes for the High and Medium detail levels
- Huge speed up in the Play screen rendering +35% for High and Medium detail levels
- Fullscreen message was corrected for Amiga, OSX and MorphOS systems (alt/cmd/amiga+enter)
- Now it's possible to turn on/off the music in the main screen and in the pause screen, this setting will be saved for the next sessions
- During language selection the you may change the details level which will be remembered for the next game sessions
- Added Swedish and Japanese translations, fixed english translation
- Corrected the sprite layers order in LOW and MIN settings
- Now all musics are encoded using OggVorbis/128Kb, this means that the
game size is now around 130Mb (depending on the version), MacOSX PPC
is still 480Mb because a bug we are trying to resolve.
- Speed up in game matrix initial rendering, madness level rendering is
much faster now
- Reduced 20% SoundFX volume
Since November 2012 G.E.M.Z. has been sold for free with all sold AresOne complete systems. If you purchase the game now and later an AresOne you will get back the money for G.E.M.Z. Purchasers of the software bundle A-Live will get a free copy of G.E.M.Z.

PCI-Busboard: Documents for Prometheus PCI released
12 years ago Grzegorz "Krashan" Kraszewski developed for Matay the PCI-busboard Prometheus. Now Kraszewski has made available all files on his website which are necessary for the production of the hardware.
The available firmware is being used in all 250 produced Prometheus-boards. Some years later E3B reworked the original firmware for the project DaVinci - this new firmware can also transfer DMA.
On amigaworld.net Filip Dąb-Mirowski (Matay) has announced that E3B will make available this updated firmware versions under e3b.de/prometheus/ soon which will include a brief instruction for a firmware upgrade of the Prometheus.
