`31.Dec.2025`	Bootable Amiga emulator: AmiBootEnv 0.5.11 AmiBootEnv is a bootable Amiga emulation based on Debian Linux and the Amiberry emulator. Unlike similar solutions, the developer's aim here is simply to offer a basic emulation of various Amiga models that is as lean and easy to install as possible. It is up to the user to install and configure the desired AmigaOS versions and applications (amiga-news.de reported). Since our latest news item, a configuration selection for non-UEFI systems such as the Raspberry Pi has been added as well as AmiBerry-Lite for low-powered systems; also the optional Xorg support has been improved.

`30.Dec.2025` Aminet	Assembler: ASM-Pro 1.22 released ASM-Pro is a MC680x0 macro assembler for the Amiga with an integrated editor, debugger, linker and monitor. The program offers full MC680x0, FPU and MMU support. About a year after the last update, ASM-Pro has now been brought up to version 1.22. The changes: Additions and modifications ASM: Added QREPT directive (paired with ENDR, just like REPT). It generates identical copies of the repeat block resulting in shorter assembly time. It evaluates the block (at most) once and then copies it as many times as needed. Consequently, you can declare labels and constants within, there will be no double symbol errors. DISASM: FPU k-factor is now displayed as a signed 7-bit integer instead of unsigned. This is more in line with Motorola documentation. Additional SE (special edition) build of Asm-Pro without gfx assets (logotips), resulting in lower chipmem usage by about 16KB. Bugfixes UI: Duplicate menu Commands->Output. EDIT: Pasting a larger block freezes the editor until ESC is pressed. ASM: Using directives WO/WX/WL to write a file with a large number of relocs could overflow the stack. Added stack protection. ASM: Incorrect debug line info when a macro contains a directive, instruction, or macro call with constructed name (e.g. using macro arguments). ASM: REM and TEXT blocks are missing debug line info, causing the source level debugger to misbehave when manually setting a breakpoint. EDIT: Incorrect free memory amount displayed if more than 99999KB is available. EDIT: Long filenames (more than 30 characters) of source files overrun several internal buffers. EDIT: Old source's current directory filename buffer is padded instead of new source's buffer during source switching, which could lead to path corruption. UI: Tag lists incorrectly terminated in some cases (-1 instead of 0/TAG_DONE). ASM: K-factor in fmove.p is not parsed properly (in both data register and numerical form), and it could also result in entirely incorrect opcode. EDIT: Syntax coloring in 1-bitplane mode is not disabled due to a bad screen depth check. UI: Screen depth exceeding maximum (4) causes endless loop. Default screen depth will be used instead in such cases. (nba) [News message: 30. Dec. 2025, 10:52] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`29.Dec.2025`	Video: Introduction of two AMOS utilities In his latest video, Keith 'Yawning Angel' Elcombe presents two of his utility programs, which he makes available on his website under the title 'AMOS Screen Utilities Dec 25'.

`29.Dec.2025` Saustrup	Computers in movies and television: Starring the Computer Starring the Computer is a website dedicated to the use of computers in film and television. Each appearance is catalogued and rated on its importance (ie. how important it is to the plot), realism (how close its appearance and capabilities are to the real thing) and visibility (how good a look does one get of it). Fictional computers don't count (unless they are built out of bits of real computer). The Amiga also appears in several films and television series, for example the Amiga 500 in the Derrick episode "Fliegender Vogel" (1988). But of course there are many more entries.

`29.Dec.2025` Amiga Boing Blog (ANF)	Amiga Boing Blog is being closed The "Amiga Boing Blog" offers tests of numerous games from the PD/freeware area. In addition, game collections with freely distributable games or games licensed to the operator are compiled, which are already delivered with a fully prepared WinUAE (amiga-news.de reported). The search for a successor proved unsuccessful, which is why the Amiga Boing Blog has now published its last post with the game Roach Motel. All downloadable content remains available on archive.org.
