Amiga-/Atari ST-clone: MiST
Till Harbaum's "MiST" is a FPGA-motherboard which is to emulate different home computer or arcade automats with the help of different "cores". Originally MiST has been only a Atari ST-clone and therefore - similar to Minimig - was called "MiniST". Since then the project is developed as "MiST" (aMIga/ST).

amiga-news.de: Old news imported to database
Just like many other websites, from 1998 until 2001 amiga-news.de mainly worked with static HTML-sites which at that time were maintained with GoldEd and some ARexx-macros. Since January and June 2001, the German and English sections have been using a tailor-made database solution which was created by Sven Drieling.
Now Christoph Gutjahr and Sven Drieling have integrated all 10.000 news from the "static phase" of Amiga-News into the database. Among others, about 900 HTML-files had to be converted and refered - additionally the server now manages many redirections for as many as possible external links are supposed to stay valid.
Altogether, the Amiga-News database includes almost 50.000 news. A little walk through our archives always is a worthwhile delight - for you can find sad and still more sad news as well as very appropriate comments or some crazy news.

Web-Browser: NetSurf 3.0 for AGA-chipset (beta version)
Artur 'Arti' Jarosik has released a port of the browser NetSurf which works with the AGA-chipset (Video).
This is a first beta version which is very slow. The layout is scaled to 70% on a screen with 640 x 480 pixels. Therefore it might be necessary to adjust the size of the fonts.

Version 0.4 is a hardware update. An Arduino Nano with Ethernet-Shield is used. The firmware image as well as the board design of the "plipbox nano" were updated.

MorphOS 3.2: Panel-Objects / No Warp3D-support for R300-boards
By reworking the Ambient pictogramm menus for MorphOS 3.2 by Stefan 'Kronos' Kleinheinrich, now so called panel-objects can be used. Three of such objects have been made available in the MorphZone (Screenshot): from the left to the right you can see a time display, an animated Elephant and a monster.
Nicolas 'Henes' Sallin confirmed a bad news: The warp3d.library and therefore all Amiga games which access it, cannot benefit from the TinyGL-R300-driver since the rave3d.library is not developed further any longer.
