AfA: AROS for AmigaOS 3.93.2
"AROS for AmigaOS" (AfA) enhances the latter with functins of the aformentioned operating system. there's a small update available following the title link.
With AfA 3.93.2 the picture.datatype doesn't crash anymore if you choose "SaveIFF" in IconEdit. Saving via this function is not possible yet as the picture.datatype of AROS doesn't support this for now.
If you could make some example code for the saving of IFF files available then please contact Bernd Roesch, the author.
Also new is the use of the rasrport text attribute Italic with TrueType texts. The minimum stack size was increased from 4,500 bytes to 6,000 bytes, to save memory the creation of a second afa_system.library was stopped.

Amiga Immortal 3 - Music from the Amiga legends
After over three-and-a-half years of development time, the long-expected third part of the Music CD series "Amiga Immortal" is finally available since the middle of June. Over 150 minutes of elaborately arranged music from various games for the Commodore Amiga are to be found on two CD's full to the brim.
All pieces were rerecorded exclusively for this album, most of them precisely by the interpreters who once composed them: Jochen Hippel, Allister Brimble, Bjorn Lynne, and of course Chris Hülsbeck, too, among others, contributed tracks - the latter is represented on the album with 2 brand-new arrangements from the legendary "Turrican" series as well as an orchestra recording of the theme music of "Apidya." Jan Zottmann underwrote responsibility for the production, as in "Immortal 2," who was actively supported by Thomas Böcker from Merregnon Studios.
Here is the complete track list:
CD1:
01 Apidya "Suite" (Hülsbeck) 4:39
02 Gods "Into the Wonderful" (Nation 12) 3:19
03 Theatre of Death (Clarke) 7:04

13 Defender of the Crown "Castlekeep" (Cuomo) 2:32

15 The Plague (Klaren) 2:48
16 Alien Breed (Brimble) 3:14
17 Aquaventura (Wright) 6:15
18 Ambermoon (Steinwachs) 1:48
CD2:
01 Wings of Death (Hippel) 7:48
02 No Second Prize (Steinwachs) 5:44
03 Speedball 2 "Brutal Deluxe" (Nation 12) 3:33
04 Brat (Lynne) 3:09
05 Amberstar (Hippel) 5:23
06 Shadow of the Beast 2 (Wright) 4:05
07 Uridium 2 (Page) 4:29
08 Cardiaxx (Simmonds) 2:48
09 Pinball Fantasies (Gustafsson) 6:33
