Workbench-replacement: X-bEnCH 0.74 (beta version)
X-bEnCH is an Amiga game launcher with 128 colors on screen (even on the developer's 7 MHz Amiga 2000B). This frontend autoscans the harddisk to find WHDLoad games or .exe files and and organizes them into launching listings. X-bEnCh also has an integrated CLI fully compatible with the Workbench CLI feature.
Changes:
- Fixed the OCS/ECS blue bug color in the init screen
- Start a bit faster
- New display refresh method for the launcher now as fast as light on a simple 68000/7
- Mouse pointer is now blanked
- Fixed the slow display of the Starfield menu on 68000/68010
- Now correctly switch off the display on the menu screen when needed
- Minors bugs fixeds

MorphOS: Donation for G5-port achieved

Amiga Future asking for feedback for their hundredth issue
Andreas Magerl writes: issue 99 has just been published, we're already working on the next one. As this will be Amiga Future 100, we'd like to hear from you: how and when did you learn about Amiga Future? Why are you reading it (or not reading it)? What did you always want to tell us, and what do you wish for in the future?
We created some space in the crypt, so Higgins can reply to all your letters in issue 100. We'd really appreciate if you could write him at Higgins@amigafuture.de, the sooner the better. (cg) (Translation: cg)

Video: Trevor Dickinson (A-Eon) about AmigaOne X1000, Warp 3D and LibreOffice
Robert Bernardo has recorded Trevor Dickinson's presentation on the AmiWest 2012 (18.-21. October, Sacramento) and uploaded it to blip.tv (requires Flash) and IntuitionBase. Here is a little summary of the speech.
AmigaOne X1000
Currently the third production run is made. Until January all computers will be delivered to the customers. Dickinson called that a "probably last production run". He said that there is no shortage of PASemi-CPUs - but they cost 975 US-Dollar which makes the production of further computers unlikely.
Dickinson explained that the current production makes a loss of 475 US-Dollar on each computer.
Further PPC-based motherboards
Nonetheless there are plans for new hardware. In future processors made by Freescale will be used. A "Mid-Range-Product" with a Quadcore-CPU with 1,5 Ghz is considered as well as a "High-Level-Product" with a Dualcore-processor with 2.2 Ghz. But it will still take some time before it will be ready for the market.
LibreOffice
Thomas Frieden was introduced as chief operator for the LibreOffice-port but Dickinson several time mentioned the "Friedens". Currently it is spare time project. The development was started one month ago. Results can be expected only in distant future. The finished port is supposed to be sold, "probably" as package with other software.
Warp 3D-driver for Radeon HD
For Radeon HD 5000/6000 graphic boards currently Warp 3D-drivers are deevloped. Dickinson had hoped to present the finished drivers on the AmiWest but he expects the drivers to be released soon.
