AROS: 68k-Distribution AROS Vision 1.5.5
Olaf Schönweiß has updated his AROS/68k-distribution. It is a mix of AROS and AmigaOS software (English tutorial). Version 1.5.5 includes now the full versions of Real3D and SoundFX. Amigaguide documents can be opened without crashing the system. And there are two different versions of AROS Vision:
Additional to the standard distribution now a "Classic"-version is available as well. The author calls this a "Light"-version because most of the applications and CLI-extensions were removed.
Both versions can be installed with a certain "Workbench environment":
- Wanderer as filemanager, Zune as GUI-Toolkit (preferences)
- Scalos and Zune
- Scalos and MUI
You can get further information e.g. about how a a working ARexx-host can be added to the distribution on the website of the author.
Additionally some Youtube videos have been published which show the news, Scalos and Zune, Scalos and MUI and several applications.

Workbench-replacement: X-bEnCH 0.74 (beta version)
X-bEnCH is an Amiga game launcher with 128 colors on screen (even on the developer's 7 MHz Amiga 2000B). This frontend autoscans the harddisk to find WHDLoad games or .exe files and and organizes them into launching listings. X-bEnCh also has an integrated CLI fully compatible with the Workbench CLI feature.
Changes:
- Fixed the OCS/ECS blue bug color in the init screen
- Start a bit faster
- New display refresh method for the launcher now as fast as light on a simple 68000/7
- Mouse pointer is now blanked
- Fixed the slow display of the Starfield menu on 68000/68010
- Now correctly switch off the display on the menu screen when needed
- Minors bugs fixeds

Amiga Future asking for feedback for their hundredth issue
Andreas Magerl writes: issue 99 has just been published, we're already working on the next one. As this will be Amiga Future 100, we'd like to hear from you: how and when did you learn about Amiga Future? Why are you reading it (or not reading it)? What did you always want to tell us, and what do you wish for in the future?
We created some space in the crypt, so Higgins can reply to all your letters in issue 100. We'd really appreciate if you could write him at Higgins@amigafuture.de, the sooner the better. (cg) (Translation: cg)

Video: Trevor Dickinson (A-Eon) about AmigaOne X1000, Warp 3D and LibreOffice
Robert Bernardo has recorded Trevor Dickinson's presentation on the AmiWest 2012 (18.-21. October, Sacramento) and uploaded it to blip.tv (requires Flash) and IntuitionBase. Here is a little summary of the speech.
AmigaOne X1000
Currently the third production run is made. Until January all computers will be delivered to the customers. Dickinson called that a "probably last production run". He said that there is no shortage of PASemi-CPUs - but they cost 975 US-Dollar which makes the production of further computers unlikely.
Dickinson explained that the current production makes a loss of 475 US-Dollar on each computer.
Further PPC-based motherboards
Nonetheless there are plans for new hardware. In future processors made by Freescale will be used. A "Mid-Range-Product" with a Quadcore-CPU with 1,5 Ghz is considered as well as a "High-Level-Product" with a Dualcore-processor with 2.2 Ghz. But it will still take some time before it will be ready for the market.
LibreOffice
Thomas Frieden was introduced as chief operator for the LibreOffice-port but Dickinson several time mentioned the "Friedens". Currently it is spare time project. The development was started one month ago. Results can be expected only in distant future. The finished port is supposed to be sold, "probably" as package with other software.
Warp 3D-driver for Radeon HD
For Radeon HD 5000/6000 graphic boards currently Warp 3D-drivers are deevloped. Dickinson had hoped to present the finished drivers on the AmiWest but he expects the drivers to be released soon.

AmigaOS 4: HivelyTracker 1.7
HivelyTracker is a tracker based on the AHX-format. AHX was developed in the 90s to be able writing songs which are similar to the typical chip-sound of the SID (sound chip of the C64).
In version 1.7 two minor bugs were fixed. Additionally now there is a SDL-based version which makes ports to Windows and Mac OS possible.

AmigaOS 4: Midi-Sequencer BarsnPipes 0.7.1
Lyle Hazelwood who has taken over the development of the AmigaOS 4-version of the MIDI-sequencer BarsnPipes of Alfred Faust has released a first minor update of the programm. Changes in version 0.7.1:
- You no longer need LhA in the C directory
- The multiple CAMD in and out tools have been replaced with
a single CAMD_In and CAMD_Out pipetools. These no longer
read ENVARC: for camd cluster names. Each tool may have any
CAMD cluster, no limits.
This version is not backward compatible to previous releases of BarsnPipes. On the AmiWest the author had announced to adapt all extensions little by little.
It is not certain if this version can import saved BarsnPipes-projects. The author recommends to hide the Tools-directory so no tools are loaded. MIDI-files can be imported with the tool "sMerFF".
In future the CAMD-support is supposed to be improved as well as a modern graphical user-interface to be created.

MorphOS: Bounty for a port to PowerMac-computers with G5-CPU
The Polish MorphOS website morphos.pl collects money which will be used to pay the developer Mark "Bigfoot" Olsen for writing a port of MorphOS to PowerMacs with a CPU PPC970FX ("G5").
The MorphOS-Team several times announced a port for G5-computers (1, 2, 3) but never came true.
The port will be started if 3000 Euro has been collected. The Macintosh computer is donated by Wiktor "Pampers" Glowacki from morphos.pl. Bounty requirements are as follows:
- The port of MorphOS must work on one model of PowerMac G5: : A1047 (7,3 - M9747LL/A) with 2,0 Ghz. Support of other PowerMac G5 models is not precluded, but is not required.
- Support of Bluetooth module and AirPort (WiFi) module is not required.
- Only one CPU will be supported.
- Bounty donations are not related to MorphOS license. Any contributor wanting to buy a MorphOS license for PowerMac G5, will pay the regular price.
- Bounty timeframe: 3 months after the programmer receives the machine.
You can donate on the official project site with Paypal.
