Video interview: Mike Battilana (Cloanto)
In February the managing director of Cloanto, Mike Battilana, succeeded in transferring all Amiga rights from Amiga Inc. to "C-A Acquisition Corp." which was founded by him. After that Stephen 'ClusterUK' Jones (e.g. Checkmate A1500 Plus) started a crowd funding campaign for financing a trip to Italy in order to meet Battilana and ask him some questions which before he had collected in diverse English-language forums.
The resultat is a video which lasts more than two hours. After Battilana was introduced in detail he and Jones who are friends since the eighties discuss the questions. Jones also provides a timetable listing which issue is discussed at what time:
- 00:12:00 Overview of Amiga history since late 90's to build context.
- 00:17:20 Red and Blue wars that I missed, which I believe caused a lot of the problems we have now ?
- 00:19:30 Discussion about the Gateway deal?
- 00:12:30 Which beer you prefer, as poster has promised to buy him one (or more) at Amiga34 in Germany.
- 00:24:00 Are you going to Las Vegas in August at Comm Vex?
- 00:25:30 Somebody did not want to ask a question due to my avatar LOL
- 00:26:10 Will amiga.com finally be for Amiga fans instead of trying to pawn off a snowman screen saver LOL
- 00:31:45 HI Michael thanks for supporting the Amiga platform when very few were .
- 00:32:35 How does it feel when specific parties (and many people on various forums) try to paint you as the (only) bad guy, for simply defending yourself in court?
- 00:36:35 Who do you think you are? Response to answer “Is that the best you've got?“
- 00:40:00 What would your parents think of this?
- 00:42:50 Where do you get off?
- 00:43:10 Did you ever understand what Amiga Inc. tried to do the past 20+ years? If yes - what did they do?
- 00:46:20 Thoughts on new clones coming out e.g. AmyITX, ReAmiga, Pauls A4000 board etc?
- 00:50:50 Does Cloanto support Fair Use when it come to Amiga media and material?
- 00:52:40 Where do you see Amiga in 5, 10, 25 year times, and what are your plans for the Amiga?
- 1:00:00 Any thoughts about expanding Amiga Forever to include MAC os8 emulation, Mac ppc emulation, and Atari ST emulation?
- 1:02:00 Given the recent (and not so recent) court / legal actions, is there any new development regarding the "Discourse on Possible Futures" specifically open source?
- 1:05:40 Possibility of a version of workbench/ ROM that would work out of the box with the Vampire range of accelerators or even just the V4 stand alone? Since the Vampire supporters support you blindly are they licensing your ROM copies?
- 1:07:00 Should Cloanto secure the necessary rights, would the company let independent developers access the source code or contribute, without having to sign an NDA or contracts of sorts and will we be allowed to freely share the patches and/or derivative work ?
- 1:09:50 Amiga Inc. had a plan of going cross platform with the AmigaDE product as a VM. What plans still exist and does the invention of WebAssembly in the browser influence this?
- 1:12:30 Will there ever be a bridge technology that allows accelerated 68k machines to run VM code along with Next-Generation AmigaOne series platforms?
- 1:13:50 Will AmigaOS 3.1 be open sourced and under what license? and Does Cloanto have the ability to open source Amiga OS? If so why does he not open it up?
- 1:15:40 How are you going to make sure, to the best of your ability, Jens Schoenfeld (or any other important people) does not leave the Amiga Classic hardware scene?
- 1:19:00 Are there some plans to bring back updated RKM manuals in some form? There are reasonable inexpensive print-on-demand services today, or maybe as e-books or PDFs?
- 1:20:55 I have and love my AmigaONE X1000 that runs AmigaOS4.1FE now and have long dreamed of an AmigaOS4.2! Can you please tell us NG Amiga users how Cloanto owning the Amiga IP will affect future updates to OS4.x?
- 1:24:00 Why is Cloanto Corporation and C-A Acquisition Corporation organized under the laws of the state of Nevada?
- 1:25:05 I also updated my classic Amigas with the recently released OS3.14 and physical roms from Hyperion and again wonder how Cloanto owning the IP rights moving forward will affect OS3.14 and future updates moving forward ?
- 1:26:00 I’d like to know what he thinks about the Vampire and the growth of the 68K community in a post-PowerPC age.
- 1:26:45 Now that you own all the IP, will you be looking to create a rebirth machine range including entry level A500/A1200 equivalent, and if yes, would you consider the classic micro computer form factor? and If so would you be looking to work with existing hardware manufacturers (A-EON, Apollo etc) or would you try to do it "in house"?
- 1:29:00 I'm planning on buying wb 3.1.4 and ks roms. But who actually owns both? Who should I buy it from? if hyperion is selling them, does he get a commission?
- 1:33:20 What happened with the 8-Bit guy's request for licensing?
- 1:36:20 Will we see Amiga as a cloud based OS and possible to install as a virtual machine?
- 1:38:05 In event of open sourcing of AmigaOS 3.1, have you considered using source code license compatible with AROS source code license?
- 1:39:35 What are all the Amiga related IPs that he owns and what rights does that give him?
- 1:40:30 How do third party companies get in touch about licensing and new product design to be inline with IP rights?
- 1:43:15 Are you going to reach out to hardware developers, and what support will you be offering?
- 1:44:15 Have you any plans to develop in house software for classic accelerated Amigas?
- 1:44:40 Will you encourage the support of Raspberry Pi and other SBC's?
- 1:47:10 As the technology world around us is increasingly becoming "touch screen only," I would like to know if your plans for either the Classic AmigaOS or NG include plans of ditching traditional mice and keyboards, or if they will still be supported?
- 1:48:45 Do you plan on leveraging hardware companies (A-Eon, A-cube, etc.) to move away from PPC toward a more affordable hardware CPU platform? and Do you plan on making AmigaOS4.x hardware agnostic, or keeping it limited to one family of CPU's?
- 1:50:10 Would you be for forming an Amiga (OS) Foundation to support development in the same vein as the Apache, Mozilla, and various BSD Foundations?
- 1:50:55 Will there be new 3.X AOS versions in the future? How will the lawsuit effect that?
- 1:52:20 As a Mac/Linux user I really only use the ROM files from my current version of Amiga Forever. "We'll soon start working on a Mac version of Amiga Forever” seems to have been on the Cloanto website for a very long time now. Are Cloanto still working on a Mac version of Amiga Forever which offers the same, or better functionality as the Windows version?
- 1:54:15 Will there be an Amiga Mini or would they be willing to work with Emubee for the furtherance of their Amiga X project? and Will the new entity, Cloanto or whatever support (or better: get involved into) the AmigaX project?
- 1:56:30 I recently read that Commodore Italy has acquired global rights for Commodore trademarks. Do you have any thoughts or plans to partner with them for products?
- 1:58:30 Can you confirm that Cloanto now owns the Amiga name and logo (the one on the A500 etc) and if so, are you willing to license it out to third party products?
- 2:01:25 The work from Olaf and Thomas on 3.1.4 is awesome. The cleanest and best update to 3.1 so far. How do you think Cloanto can support and contribute to OS3 development from now on?
- 2:04:38 The Amiga logo has been revised on numerous occasions. The logos associated with the operating system and the hardware include, among others, the original variant written in italic Times (created by Commodore) and one more stylised variant written in a modified bondoni typeface (created by Amiga Technologies). Under Cloanto management, which one do you plan to use up ahead and why? What graphical identify do you feel properly represents the Amiga in 2019?
- 2:08:00 Michael thoughts on where we are now and what are his plans for the future

Report and video of Amiga prototype "Zorro" (Update)
Under the title link Eric Hill has reported on his recently purchased Amiga development system. According to his information, this prototype was named "Zorro" and is a later variation than "Velvet". Commodore did send it to Hewlett-Packard hoping that the company would support it but it would not. In spring 1985 a private person bought it from HP.
The main differences in comparison to the ordinary Amiga (1000) as Eric Hill found out:
- Commodore logo instead of Amiga checkmark on the case
- Commodore keys inbstead of Amiga keys
- No signatures on the inside top cover of the case
- Custom chips Portia (instead of Paula) and Daphne (instead of Denise) as well as an early Agnus version
The computer used a Kickstart disk version 29.11. A video complements the report.
Update: (07:29, 05.05.19, snx)
As it turned out meanwhile, the disk has been overwritten by the previous owner with Kickstart 1.2. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Source code of "Trap Runner" released
After the collector's edition of his jump'n run Trap Runner has been available, similar to other games Frank Wille has released the source code, level files and graphics of the game under a Public Domain licence. The archive includes all files necessary for creating a disk image of "Trap Runner".
The build process is portable that means you can assemble the game on different platforms. Additional to an ISO-C99 compiler and the AmigaOS assembler includes, only GNU-make, vasmm68k_mot and vlink are required. All other tools you can build from the source code. In Makefile you only have to adapt the variable ASINC to the corresponding environment. It includes the path to the Amiga includes.

Commercial Shoot'em Up: "Skillgrid" as download or Boxed Edition (AGA)
Skillgrid (video) developed by Simone 'saimo' Bevilacqua (e.g. BOH, Huenison) is an abstract, vertical shoot'em up which runs endlessly and according to the developer with "frenetic, tactical gameplay", diverse sub-games and many boss battles the player is supposed to be encouraged to chase after new highscores. The game requires an AGA computer.
Skillgrid is available from itch.io as chargeable download for 7,99 USD (about 7 Euro) or from RGCD as Boxed Edition providing two variants: As "basic CD-only version that comes with an auto-booting jewel-cased, glass-mastered CD complete with a professionally printed 16-page manual, a large weather-proof vinyl RGCD sticker, RGCD and Retream postcards and two disk labels (so you can make your own floppies from the images on the CD)" (for about 19 Euro) or as "deluxe version comes with all this plus a packet of four beautiful 25mm button badges, an A3 poster (rolled) and the game on two floppy disks - all presented in a plastic clam shell box complete with custom made foam insert" (for additional 6,90 Euro).

amiga-news.de: Server move completed (update 2)
During the next hours amiga-news.de will be moving to a new sever. To avoid loss of data, all interactive elements of our web presence (comments, forums) are currently disabled. Once the work has been completed, these features will be enabled and this news item updated. We thank you for your understanding.
Update: (26.04.2019, 21:50, cg)
The move to the new server has been completed, we will now update the DNS entries. It might take a bit of time until all DNS servers know the address of the new server, so depending on the ISP used, visitors might still end up on the old server for a little while.
Update 2: (27.04.2019, 15:00, cg)
DNS entries are updated, all work is done. If you notice anything unusual, please drop us a mail or post in the comments section. (cg)

Lawsuit: Court order denying motion to enjoin C-A Acquisition Corporation
After the failed registration of the trademark "Workbench" in the EU and the denied motion for preliminary injunction against the sale of AmigaOS 3.1.4, Cloanto has to deal with the third setback in a row: the court has denied enjoining C-A Acquisition Corporation as plaintiffs (PDF file).
C-A Acquisition Corp., founded last year and being owned like Cloanto by Mike Battilana, "acquired all remaining intellectual property assets of Plaintiff Amiga, Inc. (amiga-news.de reported) and then turned around and granted Cloanto the right to register and monetize the trademark AMIGA."
The court agrees with Hyperion that "plaintiffs have not acted diligently to meet the deadlines for adding a party or amending their claims."
And it is explained: "Turning to the question of adding a new party, the Court is struck by how Plaintiffs' actions appear reactive to Hyperion's pending Motion to Dismiss. Hyperion's ability to defend these claims is prejudiced by Plaintiffs' attempts to shuffle the parties and the rights of those parties mid-case. Although Plaintiffs discuss their efforts to move quickly in February and March of this year, Plaintiffs do not adequately explain why C-A Acquisition was created after this case was filed, and after the deadline for joining new parties. Plaintiffs do not adequately explain the delay between creating C-A Acquisition and the February 1 transfer. If the Court considers Mike Battilana's assertions that he was trying to acquire Amiga's rights well before Hyperion's pending Motion to Dismiss was filed, this does not explain why Plaintiffs could not have moved the Court for an extension of these deadlines at an earlier point. Plaintiffs' actions do not strike the Court as demonstrating diligence and granting this Motion would prejudice Defendant Hyperion. Accordingly, the Court will deny this Motion in its entirety."

MorphOS: E-mail client Iris, beta version 54
"Iris" is supposed to become the standard mail program for MorphOS. It supports IMAP and can read and create HTML mails. The program requires MorphOS 3.10. You can give feedback to the author using the corresponding discussion on MorphZone.
Changes of beta version 54:
Features:
- Improvements in the email editor; added default font (can be changed in settings)
- Connected servers will periodically poll for new messages
- Rewritten connection handling to improve performance and fix connection issues over time
Bugfixes:
- Switching between several displayable email compontents only worked once per component due to a bug in tmp file lookup
- Fixed an issue related to saving attachments from an email open in a separate window after the active folder has changed in the main window
- Improved server disconnection handling
- Fixed a crash in vmime related to IMAP folder access
- Unread messages count could sometimes be negative due to an overflow
- Fixed a long-standing reconnection problem where internal exception routing would skip over the actual reconnection routine
- Fixed an OAuth2 issue which caused servers to reject authentication if they weren't used for a long time (days) so that the refresh token expired - this delegates login back to the web browser as required by OAuth2
- Worked around an imap.wp.pl issue where the server returns messages in a random order instead of sorting them by uid
- Fixed a Sent folder refresh issue after sending an email
- Fixed a wrong UID count in folder issue causing server commands to fail after emptying a folder

Lawsuit: Court denies Cloanto's motion for preliminary injunction
In the lawsuit between Cloanto and Hyperion yesterday the court has denied the motion for preliminary injunction against the sale of AmigaOS 3.1.4 (PDF file). After the futile attempt of registering the trademark "Workbench" also in the EU, this is the second setback for Cloanto in a row.
The court found that Cloanto could not provide sufficient evidence for the claimed irreparable harm. This decision does not affect the judgment of the principal proceedings: Was the sale of AmigaOS 3.1.4 lawful?

Tutorial: Using a Linux box as a Proxy for SSL connections
While AmiSSL 4 makes a modern version of SSL available for AmigaOS 3, software that supports it is still hard to find. And given its slow CPU, an Amiga is barely able to decode modern SSL cyphers anyway. amiga-news.de reader 'Cego' solved this problem by using a PC running Linux - you could also use a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian - as a proxy:
In this scenario the Amiga is sending all of its HTTP request to the Linux box, which handles all communication with the Internet. Since the connection between the Amiga and the Linux box is never encrypted, the ancient Commodore computer is no longer burdened with encrypting and decrypting packages and its user doesn't have to worry about protocol compatability or certificates.
Requirements
To get started, we need to have the following things available:
- a computer running Linux (e.g. Debian, Raspbian) and an account with Root privileges
- sslstrip for Linux
- the IP address of the Linux box. This can be determined by entering hostname -I in a terminal
- IBrowse
1. activate IP forwarding
First we have to activate IP forwarding on the Linux box, by entering the following in a terminal:
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
2. install and activate SSLStrip
Now we have to install sslstrip by invoking the following command with Root privileges:
apt-get install sslstrip
Then we start the program from the terminal:
sslstrip
3. configure IBrowse's proxy settings
Now we run IBrowse on the Amiga and tell it to use a proxy by enabling it in Preferences -> Network -> Proxy. Make sure you configure a proxy for "HTTP" (not "HTTPS") and enter the IP address of the Linux box here. sslstrip is using port 10000 by default, so that's what we need to enter here.
How it works
As far as IBrowse is concerned, the entire Internet is now available without encryption. Should a website enforce an SSL connection, the Linux proxy will take care of that and remove any encryption before forwarding the content to the Amiga - which frees the latter from the ressource-heavy process of decryption.
Thanks to IBrowse's "URL Prefs" functionality, you could selectively enable or disable the use of the proxy for certain sites, but it's just as convenient to simply enable/disable the proxy using the Preferences -> Proxy menu or via the global configuration. (cg) (Translation: cg)

Canceled game project: Street-Fighter-2 clone "World Warrior"
"World Warrior" was the attempt of a programmer to overcome his disappointment about the moderate quality of the Amiga port of "Street Fighter 2". In his blog the author described how the project started and explained some of his decisions regarding the game design. Besides, an unfinished version is available for download. The auhor remarked: "The option screen doesn't work and you can only play against another human player...and the round goes on forever as there's no health system."

Hollywood: hURL 1.0 released

Press release: Yes, Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, did it again! This time we proudly present hURL - the ultimate multi-protocol data transfer plugin for Hollywood. Based on curl, hURL supports an incredibly wide range of transfer protocols, e.g. DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, Gopher, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS, POP3, POP3S, RTMP, RTSP, SCP, SFTP, SMB, SMBS, SMTP, SMTPS, Telnet and TFTP. Furthermore, hURL supports SSL certificates, HTTP POST, HTTP PUT, FTP uploading, HTTP form based upload, proxies, HTTP/2, cookies, user+password authentication (Basic, Plain, Digest, CRAM-MD5, NTLM, Negotiate and Kerberos), file transfer resume, proxy tunneling and more. It really is the ultimate data transfer engine for Hollywood, leaving nothing to be desired!
There are two ways of using hURL: There is a high-level interface that can directly hook itself into Hollywood's network library, enhancing it with hURL functionality like SSL/TLS support. This makes it possible to use Hollywood commands like DownloadFile() to download files using custom protocols that Hollywood itself doesn't support, e.g. SSL/TLS.
Another way of using hURL is the low-level interface: This interface allows you to access the curl API directly from Hollywood scripts. This is extremely powerful because it allows you to access hundreds of different curl options, making it possible to fine-tune hURL to your specific needs. Just to give you an idea of how powerful hURL is: it contains over 500 (!) commands to fulfil all your data transfer needs!
Finally, hURL comes, as usual for Hollywood plugins, with extensive documentation in various formats like PDF (over 300 pages!), HTML, AmigaGuide, and CHM that contains detailed descriptions about all functions and methods offered by the plugin.
All of this makes hURL the ultimate data transfer tool for Hollywood that contains everything you need to send and receive data via almost any transfer protocol on the planet.
hURL is now available for free download from the official Hollywood portal. Thanks to Hollywood's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS 3.x (m68k), AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, Linux (ppc, arm, x86, x64), Mac OS X (ppc, x86, x64), Windows (x86, x64) and Android (arm, arm64) are provided.
Note that on AmigaOS and compatibles, AmiSSL 4.x is required by hURL. Since this isn't available in a native MorphOS version yet, you can just use the 68k version of AmiSSL 4 on MorphOS. It has been verified to work fine with hURL. (snx)

Cloanto: Registration of "Workbench" trademark in EU rejected
Following the long-time ownership of the "Workbench" trademark in the USA, two years ago Cloanto also tried to register it at the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). This application was opposed by Hyperion Entertainment (amiga-news.de reported). As published yesterday, EUIPO sustained the opposition and decided to refuse Cloanto's application for protection of this word mark in respect of the European Union (PDF file).
Reason for the rejection is Hyperion's existing registration (PDF file) of this trademark at the Benelux Office for Intellectual Property (BOIP). By this, Hyperion preempted Cloanto by 17 days. (snx)
