Lzip 1.5
Lzip is a compiled compressor for AmigaOS, AmigaOS 4 and AROS which is based on the LZMA-algorithm. It is supposed to be as almost fast as gzip and does compress much better than bzip2.

MorphOS: 7-Zip 4.65
The compression software 7-Zip is available for MorphOS in version 4.65 which includes bug fixes as well as higher speed.
The archive includes the command line based compressors 7za and 7zr as well as the complete source code, a Deficon, the script Compress7z for creating 7z-archives and an updated filetype which uses Chris Young's 68k-7z-XAD-client as standard application if you have copied it to LIBS:XAD/ before.
With the client you can use 7z-archives just like Read-only-directories which allows you to extract single files which is still not completely stable and which is a little bit slow.

Ambermoon Arcade - 030 speed test demo
Patrick Nevian's "Ambermoon Arcade" is supposed to become a Rastan-clone which plays in the world of Ambermoon (screenshots: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
Meanwhile Nevian has published a speed test demo of the third level. Since the EHB-colour mode is used Ambermoon Arcade requires a 68030-CPU. According to the author the slowdowns at the beginning of the demo have been already fixed in the current version of the game. Besides this the opponents do not vanish in the game but lie on the ground.
