plipbox: Internet over the parallel interface
With Christian 'lallafa' Vogelgsang's plipbox Amigas which have been not extended can get access to the Internet. The Arduino-based adapter provides a connection to the Ethernet-port of the Arduino board.
The magPLIP-protocol is used but the firmware is still in development.

AROS meets Linux: AEROS published
AEROS is an AROS distribution published by Pascal Papara which uses the Linux-hosted version of AROS as desktop replacement for a Linux distribution. Linux applications can be launched with a Shell command from AROS. Linux and AROS applications can be run simultaneously.
AEROS is available as DVD-image (1,9GB) which works as live-DVD - in this mode the screen solution is limited to 800x600 pixels. After the boot routine the harddrive installation can be chosen via double click on the pictogram.
AEROS at least requires 512 MB RAM, 1 GB is recommended. And you should know how a harddrive can be partitioned under Linux.
The bug fixed release published today additionally includes adapted themes, updated system files (iconify now works) as well as new versions of the web browser OWB and the game Duke Nukem 3D. As new Linux applications Worker, Pitivi and Obconf (themes changer for Linux) were added.
The distribution also is available via torrent.

AmigaOS 4: Homebank 4.4 for AmiCygnix
Homebank is Freeware and can be used to manage your personal accounts.
Up to version 3.1 Homebank was developed for AmigaOS. Because the author left the Amiga community, Homebank officially is only available for Windows and Linux. Thanks to Edgar Schwan's AmiCygnix the latest version of the application also can be used under AmigaOS 4 again (screenshot). Old files of the Amiga-Version can be imported.

Zeus68k: 4-in-1 accelerator board for Amiga 500/2000/CDTV
Zeus68k is a accelerator board for the Amiga 500 and 2000 as well as the CDTV which is development and performs several functions: Accelerator, memory extension, IDE-controler and Kickstart switcher as well as - maybe - an action-replay-replacement. It might be also used in different 68k-computers, e.g. the Atari ST.
Technical data:
- 68SEC000-CPU with 7 or 50 MHz
- 8 MB RAM
- BootMenü (configurable)
- 6x-Kickstart-ROM-Switcher
- IDE-controler (Gayle Logic A600)
- Clock-Port
Currently the board is only available as prototype. The final version might be released in winter. First pictures show the board from above, from below, the processor-, IDE- and RAM-speed as well as the prototype from above and from below.
Zeus68k is plugged in instead of the original processor. The boot menu and the FPGA-code can be changed by the user. The price has not yet been set. (snx) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: Timberwolf 4.0.1.0182 - RC1
The AmigaOS-4-port of the web browser Firefox is available as Timberwolf version 4.0.1.0182 which is the "Release Candidate 1". According to Thomas Frieden this update fixes most of the known bugs.
In substance the bugs were fixed in the JavaScript code because the browser itself was written in JavaScript.

Hollywood Player 5.1 for Android released
Press release: Airsoft Softwair is proud to announce that Hollywood is now also available for Android devices (ARM architecture). This makes it possible for the first time for every Hollywood user to run his Hollywood applets on smart phones and tablet computers running Android. Everything you need is the Hollywood Player for Android which is now available as a free download on Google Play. To see what Hollywood on Android looks like check out a little demo video on YouTube.
Please note that the Hollywood Player for Android requires at least Android 2.3. To get your own Hollywood project onto your Android device, simply compile it as a Hollywood applet (*.hwa) from the Hollywood GUI or Hollywood Designer and then copy it into a directory named "Hollywood" on the SD card of your Android device. Then you can easily run it using the Hollywood Player!
Featurewise the Hollywood Player for Android is pretty identical to the desktop version of Hollywood, plugins and videos are fully supported. Due to security reasons, however, certain functionality like starting external programs is currently disabled. You can find a complete list of differences between the desktop and mobile versions of Hollywood in the release notes in the Hollywood forums. Please note that the Hollywood Player for Android is a WIP snapshot from the current development version of Hollywood 5.1 which has not been released yet and is still a work-in-progress.
Due to the multitude of Android devices and the often scarcely documented native development interface of Android, it can happen that this app does not run on your Android device. If that is the case, please let us know in the Hollywood forums or via email.
Information can be found on the Airsoft Softwair Homepage or the official Hollywood portal.
Download. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Amiga 500 plays complete movies from harddrive
With the help of the converter AVI4HV video files can be converted into formats which can be played with a Amiga 500 (288x200 HAM6, 8Bit 11KHz Stereo) or Amiga 1200 (320x216). 1,5 MB RAM as well as a hraddrive are required.
Complete movies just like "Apocalypse Now" under the title link have to be divided into two files due to the limitations under AmigaOS. A short article about the topic also can be find in current issue of the PDF-magazine Lotek.
