Linux: Debian-Jessie-Installer for AmigaOne via Internet and USB
Additional to the full CD image for installing the Linux distribution Debian Jessie on the Teron-based original AmigaOne, now there is a saved image via Internet. Both images also include an USB booter so they can be burned on CD or booted from an USB-stick. You can find an English-language installation guide in the forum of Amigaworld.net.

Commercial game: 'Worthy' is available
Andreas Rösner wrote: Pixelglass Games has released a brand new game to the Amiga community called Worthy. Similar as in real life, you have to collect diamonds to conquer the heart of your lady. You can achieve that by travelling from level to level, killing enemies, avoiding traps and collecting diamonds.
The main drive for the game character is beer which is drunken a lot to hopefully complete the adventures.
The game was optimized for 50 Hz and offers 40 levels, many puzzles, pixel graphics with 32 colours as well as catchy melodies and sound effects. Furthermore Worthy has different scenarios of the end of the game depending on how successful the player has been.
Worthy can be purchased on AMIGA.net.pl on disks, CD or as download version for all Amigas. The game can be installed on harddrive but can also be started from disk or CD. A "boxed version" with additional features is available as well.
At least the game requires an Amiga 500 with 1 MB, the CD and HD versions 0,5 MB Fast Ram more. The different versions cost between 9 and 29 Euro (including shipping). On YouTube you can watch the release trailer.

- FIX: Fixed a bug that was causing errors when UTF8 characters were used in the filenames.
- NEW: Added a local index cleanup function at the end of the synchronization process to remove useless entries.
- NEW: Nested folders support.
- New core functionalities to handle this new feature in a recursive fashion
- Reworked the sharing window to show the folders structure using a treeview
- Windows & MacOS versions uses system AppData folders to write application data.
- NEW: Server error 403 Forbidden is now handled by the client.
- NEW: Added a information Windows to access quickly related web resources and to check for updates.
- NEW: Added several messages to make it clearer what AmiCloud is doing.
- NEW: Added multiuser support, heach account can have its own shared folder on the same computer.
- FIX: Users can change the shared folder if they need it.
- FIX: When exiting AmiCloud will wait for ACManager to finish its tasks to make it clear when the ACManager is quitted.
Meanwhile AmiCloud can also upload and download files using the browser.

Game: Full version of Mini Swat available
Andreas Rösner wrote: Three months ago a demo version of "Mini Swat" was uploaded to the Aminet. According to the developer duo of 'Amiga Wave', now the full version is available. The game was developed by José A. 'Jojo073' Gonzáles and Zoltar Estrayk. They also wrote the games "Brus Li" and "Else we get mad!".
Again the game was written with Backbone. The programs Deluxe Paint and ProTracker were also used. Compared with most of the Backbone games, "Mini Swat" is not a simple jump'n'run but a top-down-shooter like "Crack Down".
The game requires an Amiga equipped with ECS/OCS and 1 MB RAM. Interested players will get "Mini Swat" by e-mail for free from the developers using amigawave@gmail.com. On YouTube you can watch a video.
