Arcade classic: Bagman
Jean-François Fabre ported his SDL-based clone of the arcade classic Bagman to the Amiga, which required SDL libraries and thus a graphics card. Now a port is available which directly uses the chipset graphics of the Amiga.
Bagman requires 2 MB RAM, ECS and at least a 68020 processor. The source codes of the game which was written in C++ are available on Github.

AmigaOS 4: MiniGL for GL4ES
Daniel Müßener's MiniGL for GL4ES ("MiniGL4GL4ES"), which is available in a first alpha version, allows also users of Polaris graphics cards to play a lot of the MiniGL games under AmigaOS 4.
MiniGL is based on Warp3D which has never been adapted for Polaris graphics cards while the OpenGL implementation GL4ES is based on OpenGLES2 - written by the same author - which uses Warp3D Novas. Thanks to Hans de Ruiter it supports Polaris graphics cards.

MIDI sequencer: Source code of "Horny" released
The source code of the MIDI sequencer "Horny" which was developed to 2003 to 2006 now is available under a free license on GitHub. The developer Timo Kloss wrote: "This code is so bad, I had to give up working on it. It's here for nostalgic and historical reasons only." The names of variables and functions are in German.
Kloss himself is not going to develop the program further but thinks it might be possible to remove the keyfiles checks and to provide some minor bug fixes by third parties. Originally Horny was written with StormC and due to porting it to AmigaOS 4 then adapted to GCC.

RTG driver: P96 2.4.4 (update)
The graphic card driver P96 has been updated. This is a free update for all those customers who has purchased the driver since the takeover by Individual Computers. It fixes a bug "when clearing the screen, which showed for example with the program Pagestream when used on a true-colour screen."
Update: (02.01.2020, 13:45, cg)
In contrary with our original news item, obviously the update is not available for free for all customers: Several of our readers have reported that the purchase of a P96 licence entitles the user to get free updates for only 12 months. Thus, if you have purchased P96 right after the takeover by Individual Computers, you again have to pay for version 2.4.4.

A-EON Technology: Pre-order registration for the A1222 Early Adopter Motherboard
In a press release only published on Facebook - the company's website is now even lacking all the old press releases from 2017 and earlier - A-EON is announcing its pre-order registration for the 'Early Adopter' motherboard of the A1222.
Press release:
A-EON A1222 Plus Limited Edition: pre-registration and special AAA bundle
A-EON Technology is pleased to announce pre-order registration for the limited edition A1222 Plus Early Adopter motherboard.
The Early Adopter release is based on the original Tabor motherboard which has been under extended beta test for the past four years. Due to obsolescence, several minor onboard components need to be replaced and A-EON, with assistance from its hardware developers, has commissioned the production of 100 motherboards for a limited manufacturing run. Hyperion Entertainment's developer & beta test teams are working on the updated AmigaOS 4.1 distribution, while the ExecSG team is optimising kernel performance for the A1222 Plus.
Each Early Adopter system will include a full AmigaOS 4.1 EA digital licence supplied by Hyperion Entertainment and have access to regular file and driver updates as soon as they become available. The A1222 Plus Early Adopter limited edition is available at a special low price of: GB£ 350, €400 or US$ 450*.
Triple-A fun for all
Building on Commodore's bundling tradition, A-EON Technology is releasing a special AAA pack to celebrate the A1222 Plus Early Adopter release. The AAA pack will include:
- The new Enhancer Software V2.0 from A-EON Technology
- "Amiga.org" mouse & mouse mat
- "Personal Paint" for AmigaOS PPC and AmigaOS 68k
- "ImageFX" for AmigaOS 3.x
- A specially commissioned "AmigaSYS 35th Anniversary Edition"
- Digital copy of the "Viva Amiga Extended Remix" movie as soon as it is released
- Special "AAA display box"
- An "A1222 Early Adopter certificate" (see option 1)
The AAA bundle is priced at: GB£ 100, €115 or US$ 128* (* plus postage and packing).
Securing your Limited Edition A1222 Early Adopter motherboard
To pre-register for the special Early Adapter package you have two options:
Option 1: AAA bundle purchase
Purchasing the AAA bundle will automatically reserve your option to purchase one Early Adopter motherboard on a first come first serve basis, subject to the number of AAA orders received.
Option 2: 20% pre-order deposit
A-EON will begin accepting orders for Option 1 from December 24th. Subject to availability, pre-orders for Option 2 will begin on January 7th 2020. The AAA packs will ship in January. The Limited Edition A1222 Plus Early Adopter boards are expected to ship around the end of the first quarter of 2020** (** subject to change).
