Available documents from the lawsuits between Cloanto and Hyperion
Since the documents from the three lawsuits between Cloanto, the Amiga parties and C-A Acquisition Corporation on one side and Hyperion on the other side are not available free of charge, the few documents that made it onto the net are hosted on various places all over the web - depending on who acquired them and made them available to the public.
We have collected all the documents we know about and created an overview for each of the three cases, listing all submissions so far and offering links to the PDF files available to us:
- Cloanto Corporation v. Hyperion Entertainment
- Hyperion Entertainment v. Amino, Itec, Amiga Inc. und Cloanto
- C-A Acquisition Corporation and Cloanto Corporation v. Hyperion Entertainment
We would be grateful for any additions our readers might have - be it documents we missed or new material that hasn't been made available so far. (cg) (Translation: cg)

Amigakit offers "A1200" case badges
Amigakit offers "A1200" case budges. For 2,23 Euro you get a case badge which is self-adhesive in colours of black/silver, silver or white/silver.
If you have a closer look at the badge you can see a superscript, encircled "R" meaning a trademark. Actually the British merchant did register (among others) the "A1200" two years ago.

Amigakit: Status update on A1222 Early Adopter Programme (update)
In two entries in two different forums, Matthew Leaman from Amigakit has provided some information on the lastest status of the A1222 Early Adopter Programme. Contrary to the original announcements and to the wording still used on a1222plus.com, this first batch is not limited to 100 boards: "Anyone who orders the AAA bundle will be guaranteed an option to buy the A1222 Plus Early Adopter board. If we have to make a few more boards to ensure every AAA bundle customer has opportunity, then so be it."
And on amigaworld.net he stated: "We are currently on 97x AAA Bundles sold so sales will be closing soon." Additionally the website of the project was completed by a FAQ which are supposed to clarify some open questions. The second option which was originally offered - a binding order by advance payment of 20% - Leaman or the FAQ did not mention.
Hint of the editors: In press release at Christmas it was said that the "Early Adopter boards are expected to ship around the end of the first quarter of 2020". Now the FAQ says that "the main batch will be put into production in Quarter 2/2020".
Update: (22.01.2020, 19:15, cg)
Meanwhile the AAA Bundle is now sold out.

Status update on SimpleMail
Traditionally at Christmas there has been always the usual update of the mail programme SimpleMail but at Christmas 2019 it was missing. We hasve asked the two original developers Hynek Schlawack and Sebastian Bauer.
Schlawack stated that for years he has not been involved neither in SimpleMail nor in the Amiga market at all. According to his website his current "day job is writing software that keeps a hosting provider and domain registrar running". In his spare time he has "been involved with open source software in general and the Python community in particular for a long while and I’m a proud fellow of the Python Software Foundation."
Sebastian Bauer answered that he still is working on SimpleMail. Each day he would do some minor coding but currently not Amiga specific. Furthermore he said that the changes made on the Amiga code would have not justified a Christmas update. He does not have the time to add major changes but he is going to use SimpleMail for himself which benefits the Amiga version.
Finally he said that currently he is the only developer working on the code but nobody has to fear that the development will stop. It is only proceeding at a snail's pace so he cannot tell when the next update will be released.

Video preview: Arcade game Jump!
Jump! is an Amiga port of the game Yoomp! which was released 2007 for Atari's 8-Bit computer. The Amiga port is supposed to be sold in the third quarter of 2020 by RGCD. Now a teaser video obviously shows the AGA version of the engine. The game can be also played on an Amiga 500 but then with reduced colours and a smaller tunnel. An record from December shows a previous engine which might look like the coming ECS version.

MorphOS: TopTasks Screenbar plugin 1.3
TopTasks.sbar is a screenbar plugin for MorphOS showing the task which at that very moment uses most of the cpu time.
The developer wrote: "When clicked it opens a window showing the top 10 tasks currently hogging all your precious CPU time. Furthermode it can display a history of the top tasks of the last 100 seconds."
New in this version:
- Added a second list that displays the top tasks of the last 100 seconds in the PopWindow.
- Now also displays the time a task has hogged the cpu in total in an extra column in the Top10 list.
- The CPU load percentage of displayed Top10 tasks is now shown in the list title of the column.
- Added help bubbles to all prefs gadgets.
