Metacompiler: PortablE r6-14-07-2013 (beta)
Christopher Handley's metacompiler PortablE extends the programming language Amiga E and translates it into other languages. It has "the aim of being portable across many platforms." Additionally new users are supposed to be interested.
Example modules for graphic, sound output and music as well as user-interfaces are available, inspired by the simplicity of AMOS. There is also a PortablE-forum. Mainly PortablE supports AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and AROS and with limited functionality AmigaOS 3.x and Windows as well. The changes of the latest version are listed in the history.

PC OpenSystems LLC: Distribution agreement with Cloanto for Amiga Forever
PC OpenSystems LLC announces that the company has acquired a licence to distribute the emulator FS-UAE as well as Cloanto's AmigaOS-package Amiga Forever together with its own Operating System.
These applications can now be purchased for a surcharge of 55 US-Dollar in addition to OS4 OpenLinux. Delivery will start next Tuesday.
Update: (15.07.2013, 21:45, cg)
Michael Battilana from Cloanto told us that there was an "initial contact" with Roberto Dohnert from PC OpenSystems, but that there is no contract between both parties. He assumes that PC OpenSystems is simply selling Amiga Forever licenses it purchased from other resellers. According to Battilana, that would also explain the higher prices Dohnert asks for Amiga Forever. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Windows: Kickstarter-Project for Bone and Sprite Integration System
BASIS, the Bone and Sprite Integration System, is a Windows application for creating sprites for 2D-animations.
Under the title link now a Kickstarter-project was established to accelerate the development of the software. Why it is interesting for Amiga-users? Although the program only is available for Windows and most likely it will be only ported to Linux and Mac OS X, there is a Hollywood-plugin. That means that all created sprites can be also used for Amiga games.

AROS: AEROS beta version 3 for Raspberry Pi
For registered customers and purchasers via eBay, a third beta version of Pascal Papara's Debian-Linux-hosted AROS-distribution AEROS for Raspberry Pi is available (video). For all other users, the free beta version 1 is available.
According to Pascal Papara, AEROS works with 40 MB RAM: Debian and AROS requires 68 MB, 32 MB are kept free for AROS. But only 4 MB actually are used by AROS in the basic state.
Some new app with Icons and icons for already installed apps as follows have been added:
- Gimp 2.8
- Audaciuos (Winamp like audio player)
- LibreOffice
- Dillo (brower which starts instantly and is ok for Amiga releated websites)
- Netsurf (better compatibility and somewhere between Dillo and Midori in terms of performance)
- Midori
- VLC (don't expect wonders! Remember to buy codecs from the raspberry guys on raspberry.org)
- DOSBOX (feels like on ATOM systems)
- E-UAE (yes but no AROS68k yet - will follow with next version together with PUAE)
- Leafpad (Text Editor, lightweight)
- SCUMMVM + Beneath a stell sky + Flight of the Amazon queen
- TUXPaint - nice painting app for kids with stamps and nice effects
