`28.Aug.2024`	Chiptune tracker: Furnace V0.6.7 for Windows, Mac and Linux (update) 'tildearrows' Furnace is a tool that can be used to create sound chip music ("chiptune"), mostly from the 8/16-bit era (amiga-news.de reported). It supports a wide range of functions and sound chips, from NES, SNES and Genesis to ES5506, VIC-20 and the Amiga. Version 0.6.6 provides several improvements and fixes and can now import the formats .it (Impulse Tracker), .xm (Extended Module) and .s3m (Scream Tracker 3). The songs can be exported as audio files (.wav), VGM files and ZSM files (for Commander X16). An manual is available. Update: (17:49, 29.08.24, dr) Version 0.6.7 was released today, which fixes a major bug in the previous version: the NES DPCM sample loop was not working properly. (dr) [News message: 28.

`28.Aug.2024` Amigaworld.net (forum)	US trademarks: New dates for "AmigaOne" trademark dispute The dispute over the trademark "AmigaOne" at the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO, amiga-news.de reported) had initially been suspended (PDF file), because any court decision in the main proceedings would make it easier to reach a final decision on certain trademark applications and the corresponding oppositions. However, both sides, Amiga Corporation and Hyperion Entertainment, were required to provide regular updates to the USPTO on the status of that litigation - most recently, they were given 30 days to do so on March 28 of this year. However, as neither party felt compelled to do so, the trademark dispute was resumed by the USPTO on August 12 and the further course of action was set: the scheduled dates range from September 11, 2024 to January 14, 2026 (PDF file).

`27.Aug.2024` commodore.news	Programming environment: MicroPython for the Amiga in development MicroPython Amiga is a fork of the MicroPython project that brings this programming environment to the classic Amiga (with at least AmigaOS 3.1). The project is still under development, but can already be compiled and used. Amiga-specific features: This version should be considered as preliminary. Most of the tests are passing, but some are still failing. Networking (tcp) is available but not SSL. Thus, bsdsocket.library is required. Passing tests (some have been sightly modified for the Amiga) can be found in the tests directory: basics, cmdline, cpydiff, extmod, feature_check, float, frozen, import, internal_bench, io, micropython, misc, net_hosted, net_inet (without SSL), perf_bench, stress and unicode. Neither viper nor native modes are supported (most of the viper tests are passing but some are crashing!). (nba) [News message: 27.
