AROS x86_64: Update of ABI-v11 developer branch
The AROS developer Krzysztof 'deadwood' Śmiechowicz had given his stable branch of AROS for 64-bit Intel and AMD processors the code name 'ABIv11' to distinguish it from the in-progress ABIv1 version in the main AROS repository. It has now updated this to version "20221221-1". The new release includes improvements and fixes made since March 2022. Among improvements is the major work done on Scalos during summer to fix multiple compatibility, stability and 64-bit problems.

ReAction-GUI for XAD: Avalanche 1.9 for AmigaOS 3 and 4
Chris Young has released version 1.9 of his ReAction-based graphical user interface Avalanche for the unarchiving system XAD, which also supports the xfdmaster.library and can search for viruses using the xvs.library. The developer has written his tool explicitly for AmigaOS 3.2, but has also been tested under AmigaOS 4. Since it uses a new window.class, it might not work with older OS3 versions. Changes:

Amiga Forever 10: Update 10.0.10.0
The emulator package Amiga Forever 10 (amiga-news.de reported) was updated on December 20 with version 10.0.10.0. By including WinUAE 4.10.0, the integration of a virtual modem was rounded off on the Amiga side, so that it can also be used with the programs NComm and Term.
Those who already use Amiga Forever 10 can carry out the update under "Help/About" or download the installation program again.

AmigaOS 4: BreakHack released
According to George 'walkero' Sokianos in his latest Ko-Fi blog entry, he started working on porting a game called BreakHack some time ago and finally decided to release it. It is a Roguelike game developed by Linus Probert. The latter describes the game as "a casual roguelike intended to provide entertainment for 10-30 minutes when you are taking a break from anything else in your life. It's easy to learn but hard to beat, no extra lives no fuss. Just enter the dungeon kill the monsters and get the loot."

Audio player: AmigaAMP 3.33 released
Thomas Wenzel wrote: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! :)
Bug fixes:
- Fixed repeat track/all functionality.
Corrected error message for unsupported stream format.
Fixed wrong memory deallocation when closing the about requester.
Revised automatic runtime switching between AHI and MHI output.
New features:
- Added pulldown menu items for repeat track/all and shuffle.
Better handling of AHI modes with different limitations.
AHI has some peculiarities in that the maximum volume depends on the mode used (stereo++ or not) and the number of mixing channels. Until now, you always had to be careful not to turn it up too loud, because otherwise it would suddenly get quieter again, and with a bit of bad luck you wouldn't hear anything at all. The aim is that you don't have to worry about this any more because AmigaAMP determines the necessary limits itself. Hopefully it works for everyone. :)

Blog: Review of RadeonHD V5 driver with a X1000
While 'Epsilon' had taken a look back at 40 years of English-language Amiga magazine history in his blog "Epsilon's World" two days ago, he now devotes himself to his AmigaOne X1000 and AmigaOS 4: Thus he acquired the latest Enhancer Software 2.2, the new RadeonHD V5 driver and finally the latest version of DvPlayer in order to test all this on his AmigaOne X1000 under his previous graphics card Southern Island's R7 250X, as well as a newly acquired Radeon HD R9 ASUS 270X PCI-E.

MorphOS: Sixth beta version of TinyGL
MorphOS team developer Mark 'Bigfoot' Olsen had offered a bounty project for improved OpenGL support as well as drivers for more Radeon graphics cards under the title link, which has been successfully funded (amiga-news.de reported). Now the developer has released the sixth public beta version of his TinyGL update. He wrote:
"The main change in this update is the completion of project 1: Implement the fixed-function OpenGL pipeline as shaders. This change fixes a variety of rendering problems in various apps and games on hardware that currently supports shaders, meaning R300 and newer.
Unfortunately there are a couple of known regressions in this update as well, but at this point they've reached a number and severity that is low enough that I didn't want to hold off this update any longer before getting it out to you all.
The known problems all affect R300 and newer hardware and are:
- Virtual Grand Prix 2 runs noticeably slower than before, and the rear view mirrors no longer render correctly.
- FooBillard has rendering glitches it didn't have before. However this update also does fix some rendering issues that were previously broken, so this one is a mixed bag.
- Descent Freespace is completely broken.
- Reportedly there's an issue with the plasma blanker, but I'm not entirely sure of the details at this point.
I will probably release one more TinyGL update this year that hopefully addresses all of the above, plus any other regressions that might be reported by you."

So it is possible to emulate Amiga operating systems like AROS, AmigaOS or MorphOS on QEMU.
