AmigaOS 4/MorphOS: Word Me Up XXL 1.53
The commercial game "Word Me Up XXL" published by Boing Attitude is an arcade and puzzle game. Version 1.53 is available for AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS. The demo version was updated as well.

  • The game (itself) is 30% faster.
  • The game is playable with fingers if you have a touch screen.
  • New launch menu that makes it easy to reach different parts of Word Me Up XXL (readme, game, website, ...). All of these parts are translated in the 11 languages of the game.
  • Game is more friendly: help on each screen, for every level, tutorial...
  • New transition effects between screens.
  • New users management: more intuitive, allows to 12 users to play and save their games (instead of 6 previously).
  • Two new characters available: Lisa and Miss Shen.
  • Four new levels (training), so 64 levels available in full version.
  • Graphical art enhancements.
  • Vsync.
  • In-game animations (when you loose a life, money, ...).
  • You can choose sound effects without music.
  • Fading when music changes.
  • 27 avatars included.
  • And much more...

AROS: Zune Enhancement Bounty started
Krzysztof "Deadwood" Śmiechowicz has accepted a bounty which is supposed to improve the open source MUI-clone Zune. Among others the aim is to implement in Zune those MUI 4 functions and features that are needed to compile Fab1's Odyssey Web Browser, which currently only runs on MorphOS.

If he will succeed he will currently get 296 USD. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Elbox: FastATA Mk IV with SATA-controller and CompactFlash-Slot
The fourth issue of Elbox' harddrive controller FastATA is available in three different versions - for Zorro III, Amiga 1200 or for the Elbox ZIV-device - and now has PATA- ("IDE") ports as well as a SATA port and a CompactFlash slot.

Additionally new software (ATA3.driver 11.0, FastATA4000 ver. 4.0) enclosed with the new controllers is optimized for best compatibility with Compact Flash cards and SATA drives. CF cards controlled by a FastATA controller are seen in the Amiga system as a fixed (non-removable) device, which facilitates installation of bootable partitions on them. (cg) (Translation: dr)

MorphOS: Blender 2.62
Guillaume 'Yomgui' Roguez has published an update of his MorphOS-port of the 3D-graphic programm Blender which is available on his website as well as via Grunch. The PowerSDL.library is no longer required:
  • Sync on 2.62 release tag
  • Fixed locale issue for LC_NUMERIC (Forced to "C" now).
  • Fixed crash caused by bad BLI_thread_queue_xxx() implementation in thread_mos.c (crash in material Preview).
  • MEM_mapallocN() uses AllocVecAligned() for 16bytes alligned memory allocations (SIMD compat).
  • Raytrace: Altivec support added.
  • Added carve lib build (replace old boolean code)
  • Added offical fix (#30158): Remesh crash
  • Removed PowerSDL usage (was needed for sound, but nobody use it...)
