Amiga sighting: Microsoft says goodbye to Internet Explorer on Amiga 1000
Via the Twitter account of its current web browser "Edge", Microsoft says goodbye to its predecessor "Internet Explorer": now it would be time for it to surf the great web of heaven. The text is accompanied by an animation in which the logo of the browser lights up on the screen of a computer whose operating system it never ran on - an Amiga 1000. (snx)

Editor: 'Lite XL' 2.0.3r2 for AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS released
At the end of last year George Sokianos had released the first version v1.16.12.3 of his port of the editor 'Lite XL' (amiga-news.de reported). The now available version is for the first time also available for MorphOS. He writes about it:
"I am delighted to inform you all that a few hours ago I released a new version of LiteXL, the v2.0.3r2, not only for AmigaOS 4.1 FE but also for MorphOS. For the first time, LiteXL runs on MorphOS, something I was working on for the last couple of months.
For all of you who love to use MorphOS, please give it a try and send me your feedback. How does it work? Is it fast on your system? Is it helpful for you for your development projects?
There are some known issues though. Some of them are SDL problems and some are LiteXL's ones, which I am working on fixing in future releases.
The MorphOS version wouldn't be possible without Bruno's "BeWorld" Peloille work. With his SDL port, his testing and help I managed to have LiteXL work quite well. Thank you so much Bruno for your support and the SDL fixes.
From now on, the AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS code is merged into one branch. This is necessary to simplify the work on both systems, fixing the same problems.
Of course, my work doesn't stop here. Your support with plenty of coffee, and the good words I hear from those who contacted me, give me the motivation to continue working on the next fixes and releases." (dr)

Video presentation: Michael Spindler on 'Akiko 32' and 'Akiko Portable'
On Saturday, 28.05.2022, the RETROpulsiv 15.1 took place at the university in Augsburg. During this event Michael Spindler gave a presentation (in German) about his 'Akiko 32'-Projekt project and reported on the current status.
The Akiko32 is an Amiga-AGA compatible computer with extensions in modern mini ITX format. The board is a hobby development and appears as open source for non-commercial purposes. On the board is a 68030 processor in PGA form factor, which can be clocked with 14MHz or 50MHz and also the complete AGA chipset (Alice, Lisa, Paula). To save ICs, not the usual combination like in the A1200 (Budgie, Gayle, CIAs) was used, but an Akiko IC which does almost the same tasks in the CD32. Currently the developer is working on the network card, which is based on the ZorroLAN.
Simultaneously, the developer has been working for a good half year on the 'Akiko Portable', an Amiga to go, which is not an emulation. This is supposed to fulfill the following requirements:
- as thin as possible
- two to three hours of battery operation targeted
- 14 inch display
- conversion of Amiga signals to the TFT display
- USB-C power supply
- Compact Flash card routed to the outside
- Notebook keyboard with number pad
- Trackpad
- USB for data exchange
The goal is to present a first early prototype at Amiga37. (dr)

Kickstarter campaign: The Gaming Chronicles - Episode 1 - The Amiga 500
Nicola Caulfield & Anthony Caulfield from London have produced films documenting the video games industry, in addition to various other documentaries for cinemas, broadcast and advertising. Their work includes "From Bedrooms to Billions", the history of the British video games industry from 1979 to the present day, released in 2014, and the sequel "From Bedrooms to Billions", entitled "The Amiga Years", released in May 2016 (amiga-news.de reported).
Over the years, hundreds of hours of filmed interview material have accumulated, not all of which has been included in previous films. The two were thus looking for a way to make this material available to everyone and present it in an informative and entertaining way. Thus the idea of the 'Gaming Chronicle's was born.
The Gaming Chronicles are specially created episodic content that covers certain topics in gaming or computer history in more detail. The crowdfunding campaign now launched for this is intended to help fund this project.
Over time, it is hoped that this work will become a digital film resource containing everything there is to know about the gaming industry. The goal is to produce a main documentary-style episode of 50-60 minutes, but also to create several self-contained featurettes totaling 40 minutes that will act as companion material to the main documentary and put all of this into a downloadable archive.
For this first installment, the filmmakers have decided to focus on the Commodore Amiga 500 computer, which was released 35 years ago this very year. The Kickstarter campaign, which runs through Sunday, July 10, 2022, has already raised about $18,400 of the 24,354 needed. (dr)

Dock bar: WBDock 2 V2.604
Thomas Rapp has updated his dock bar 'WBDock 2' for AmigaOS 3.1 and to version 2.604. Changes:
- added special support for project icons with a default tool of Mount (for example from Devs/DosDrivers or Storage/DosDrivers): if the drive is already mounted, the context menu gets new items Unmount and Eject. If you run it again, it will eject the drive rather than issue an "already mounted" error message.
- added a new special position value which positions a dock relative to another dock. Using this you can implement sub-docks by adding wbdock config files to the dock.
- allows to change the icon label.
- supports multi-picture files using OS 3.9's PDTA_WhichPicture attribute.
