AmigaOS 4: Quake II with HD-textures
Hugues 'HunoPPC' Nouvel has ported a version of the Quake II-engine to AmigaOS 4 which features HD-textures (video). A 3D card with Warp3D support is required.
For old Radeon models (9000, 9200, 9250, R9 etc.), VSYNC should be disabled in the video options. On slow computers the author recommends a solution of 640x480.

MorphOS: SoundBankster 1.4
Antoine 'tchecko' Dubourg's SoundBankster (screenshot) is an application for DJs which can be completely controled with an USB-DJ-deck. A computer with at least 512 MB RAM is resommended.
The programm was written for MorphOS and uses e.g. the HID-Sensor-API which was introduced with version 3.6. Reggae (loading and playing music), AHI and TinyGL (rendering the graphics of the audio signals) are used as well.
Changes:
- Made the beat detection feature working. It seems the 1.3 release is
totally broken here
- Added right mouse button handling when dragging track
- Added some triangle to current position vertical bar to make it more
visible
- Added a marker to see the Cue point in the waveform navigator
- Fixed the Sync function. A missing notification made the whole stuff
not working straight as it should. Sync was working only if the track
had been previously processed and BPM/Cue point saved
- Added some helper for finding the track BPM. x2, /2, +1, -1 BPM and a
rounding function to the closed integer
- Added 1/32 and 1/16 loop size
- Optimized the display of the remaining time by only updating the
display when time changes. Saved 1% CPU from main SoundBankster task
- Fixed beat detector feedback on UI that wasn't working at all
- Fixed display issue for beat bars not being displayed when moving
the cue point with cue left/right buttons
- Cue point can't be negative. Cue point position capped >= 0
- Removed some mostly useless text fields in deck controller (loading
time, track tempo, pitch %, computed tempo) by a single 'Playing Tempo'
field which displays 'Track tempo * pitch value' ie. Track tempo is 120,
pitch is set to 5%, Playing Tempo will be 120 * 1.05 = 126 BPM
- Reworked the time left to play text area. Updates when seeking in the
track

DeliCate Linux: New distribution for Amigas in progress
DeLicate is a Linux distribution which is meant for old computers with very little RAM and low processor performance. At least an i386 or 68020 processor (FPU and MMU are required) is required but a 586 with 233 Mhz or a 68060 with 60 Mhz are recommended. If you want to use a graphical user-interface, your computer should have more than 16 MB RAM (68 MB are recommended).
According to the maintainer in its forum, currently the m68k-port is developed running under ARAnyM emulator. The aim is to port the distribution which is based on the Linux-kernel 2.4 and uClibc to Atari and Amiga computers.

Hollywood-Plugin: GL Galore 1.0 for hardware-accelerated 2D-/3D-graphics
Press release: This is the game changer you've been waiting for! Airsoft Softwair is proud to present the next big thing: GL Galore, the ultimate OpenGL® scripting solution for Hollywood! GL Galore is a plugin for Hollywood that allows you to access the OpenGL 1.1 command set directly from Hollywood. This makes it possible to write scripts that utilize the host system's 3D hardware to create high-performance, butter-smooth 2D and 3D animation that is computed completely in hardware by the GPU of your graphics board. This leads to a huge performance boost over the classic Hollywood graphics API which is mostly implemented in software. Especially systems with slower CPUs will benefit greatly from hardware-accelerated drawing offered by OpenGL.
OpenGL is a portable software interface to graphics hardware. It is available for almost every platform in a variety of flavours. On AmigaOS and compatibles, OpenGL is available as MiniGL on AmigaOS 4, TinyGL on MorphOS, StormMesa on AmigaOS 3, and Mesa 3D on AROS. Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux systems are usually shipped with an OpenGL driver already installed.
GL Galore offers wrapper functions for most commands of the OpenGL 1.1 API including many GLU functions. Additionally, GL Galore also offers bridging functions that allow you to convert Hollywood brushes into OpenGL textures and vice versa. Furthermore, when GL Galore is activated, Hollywood's hardware brushes and hardware double-buffers are mapped directly to OpenGL so that you can even benefit from hardware accelerated drawing and transformation without writing a single line of GL code. Whenever GL Galore is activated, all graphics output will automatically be routed through OpenGL.
GL Galore can also be useful for rapidly prototyping software in OpenGL. People who used to program OpenGL using C will greatly appreciate Hollywood's convenient multimedia API which offers functions for almost all common tasks. For example, by using GL Galore to write OpenGL programs you can avoid all the hassle of managing a GL window using one of the many different toolkits out there. Also, jobs like image loading, sound or video playback, font handling and image manipulation will become ridiculously easy thanks to Hollywood's powerful command set which covers almost 700 functions. And of course, there aren't 14 different versions of commands like glColor, but just one version because sometimes less is more.
GL Galore is the first plugin to bear the Powered by Hollywood 6.0 seal of quality as it utilizes the new display adapter plugin interface introduced with Hollywood 6.0. The plugin will not work with older versions of Hollywood. It is available free of charge and can be downloaded from the official Hollywood portal at http://www.hollywood-mal.com/ Versions for AmigaOS 3, AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, AROS (i386), Windows, Mac OS X (PowerPC and i386) and Linux (PowerPC and i386) are provided. On top of that, GL Galore comes with over 250 pages of documentation in various formats like PDF, HTML, AmigaGuide, and CHM. Finally, many impressive example scripts are included in the distribution archive to get you started really quickly.
All of this makes GL Galore the ultimate OpenGL scripting experience combining the best of both worlds into one powerful plugin: Hollywood's extensive and convenient multimedia function set and OpenGL's raw graphics power!

AROS-Distribution: Aeros for Raspberry Pi 2 Premium with ExaGear
Pascal Papara's Linux-hosted AROS-distribution Aeros now exclusively is available for the Raspberry Pi 2 as premium version (screenshot), which includes the lx-command for launching Linux-programms out of AROS as well as the commercial programm ExaGear.
Using this emulator it is possible to execute x86-applications on the ARM-processor of the Raspberry. Therefore programms like Skype (Linux/x86) and Wine (Linux/x86) as well as, based on them, Amiga emulators WinUAE (Windows/x86) and WinFellow (Windows/x86) can be used with this distribution (Video: WinFellow).
Some of the x86-programms only runs with limitations: For instance Skype has not a sound output because the required soundserver PulseAudio was left out due to problems with other apllications. Without ExaGear and the programms which use it, the distribution can be also used on a Raspberry Pi 1.

Petro Tyschtschenko obviously sells his Walker prototype
According to rumours in several forums, Petro Tyschtschenko offers the last Walker prototype - the other model he sold to Nicholas Blachford long ago - for sale via Facebook. The entry on Facebook is not generally accessible. Therefore currently there are only some screenshots:
If these screenshots prove themselves true, then Tyschtschenko obviously hopes to get 25.000 Euro by selling this rare prototype - which recently could be booted at a retro meeting for the first time (the IDE-cable was connected incorrectly).

Platformer: "The Game"
David Eriksson's "The Game" is an unfinished platformer written in AMOS. The game is fully playable, according to the author it only lacks "a title and a little bit of polish". The author explains that "there is no
real ending, you just get to a room that says Well Done and there's no real end".
Eriksson also states that "The main reason I stopped development was that when I tried the game on a clean A1200 there was some minor sprite flicker that I couldn't get rid of (and its still there) but now I decided to clean up some other parts of the game up a bit and release what I have."
"The Game" was heavily inspired by the retro platformer You have to win the game, even if work on the former started way before the latter was released.
"The Game" runs on 68000-based Amigas but according to the author "it still is a little slow". An Amiga 1200 with some FastRAM is recommended.

Sam460 customers can return AmigaOS 4.1 and get a refund
Three weeks ago, MorphOS 3.8 has been released, including support for the Sam460 motherboards from ACube. Now the Italian hardware vendor reacts to this development and offers his customers a refund if they want to return their copy of AmigaOS 4.1: If you return your AmigaOS DVD to ACube, ACube will pay you 48 Euros.
The exact conditions for the refund are listed in a PDF file that is linked to from ACube's webshop:
- The refund is only available for "AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition OEM" and needs to be requested no more than 30 days after purchase of the hardware
- the DVD package is unopened and still shrinkwraped
- The customer returns the DVD to ACube at his own costs and also pays any additional paypal or bank fees required for returning the money to him
- To avoid the additional costs and the hassle of sending the DVD back to ACube, customers can request a refund immediately after ordering the hardware, bevore it's even processed at ACube
All Sam460 variants are still available only as a bundle with AmigaOS 4.1 though. The fact that ACube keeps referring to a "refund" even if it's clear new customers can pretty much buy a motherboard and request the 'refund' at the same time and that the company explains in detail why they're offering a refund - including a link to the EU guidelines on "Unfair Commercial Practices" suggests that ACube's contractually obligated to always sell a copy of AmigaOS 4.1 with their Hardware.
It's currently unknown if the refund will also be available when purchasing a Sam460 through another dealer. (cg)

After Trevor Dickinson mentioned it in an interview, now the official press release (PDF) by A-EON Technology regarding the MultiViewer or MultiViewerNG is available.
Similar to MultiView developed by Commodore, the programm shows pictures but also text or AmigaGuide files, if the datatypes are available (screenshots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; video). MultiViewer for AmigaOS 3.9 and MultiViewerNG for AmigaOS 4 will be available soon in the appstore AMIStore.

Interview with Trevor Dickinson
Under the title link, Michal Bergseth has interviewed Trevor Dickinson (A-EON Technology). He talked about the 30-birthday-events in Amsterdam, Neuss, Mountain View and Peterborough (which he will all attend) and that he supported financially later versions of Amiga Forever.
He has announced "MultiViewer" for AmigaOS and AmigaOS 4, a new software which will replace MultiView and show all kind of files which are supported by datatypes.
For the AmigaOne X5000 which is about to start production, A-EON Technology offers the prospect of a cheaper price compared to its predecessor.
Using the Cow3D demo, the latest benchmarks under Warp3D and a Southern-Island graphic board (XFX RadeonHD 7770) had demonstrated that the AmigaOne X5000 would be almost twice as fast as any other AmigaOS-4-PowerPC hardware, althouth a non-optimized OS4-version with Debug output was used. Dickinson did not mention, if this could be caused by the X-kernel.

Final Writer: Development started under new owner
Some time ago Timothy "Terminills" Deters has announced that he had acquired the rights to text processing software "Final Writer". Meanwhile a programmer seems to start developing further the programm, as the screenshot released by Deters shows:
According to the file name, currenty the programm still runs under the 68k-port of AROS. Ports to AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS have been already announced. According to Deters in discussion, all interested users should expect "more of an evolution than a revolution" concerning the further development of Final Writer. Before a new release, the following improvements are absolutely necessary:
- Turboprint support for prints in 24 Bit
- RTG-support, currently Final Writer has problems with screens with more than 256 colours
- Bug fixes
- Working support for the locale.library
Additionally Deters is looking for support concerning the OpenDocument-format, although it is not clear if already in the first version this feature will be implemented.

Event: Assembly Summer 2015 in Helsinki
Since 1992 the demoparty "Assembly" has been celebrated. This year the Oldskool demo competition will be dropped - in honour of the celebration of 30 years of Amiga there will be only an Amiga competition (additional to the Newskool competitions).
The demoparty will take place in Messukeskus, Helsinki, Finland from 30th July until 2nd August.
