Linux distribution with Amiga design: Workbench OS
"Workbench OS" (video) provided by John Petrella and Adriano Morselli is a Linux distribution with Amiga design. The desktop Mate is changed with several themes and and a corresponding icon set based on the look of different AmigaOS versions.
Besides, the emulator FS-UAE is preinstalled (Kickstart-ROMs are not included) and the usage of Icaros under a virtual environment is explained on the website of Workbench OS.
Workbench OS is available as these different versions: The "preview" version from December 2017 as PCLinuxOS edition with RPM package manager or with DEB package system. The "stable" version was released about three weeks later and is only available as RPM/PCLinuxOS version. For this December a version based on Debian Testing was announced.

Hyperion: Graphical illustration about origin of AmigaOS customers
A few days ago Hyperion has published a pie chart on its Facebook site which illustrates from which countries all the customers are who purchased a download during the last 30 days. About three weeks ago AmigaOS 3.1.4 was released which might be a big part of the downloads:

Amino taking legal measures against AmigaOS 3.1.4
Yesterday, Hyperion's AmigaOS 3.1.4 stopped being available for purchase, the relevant links on Hyperions Website didn't go anywhere. Today, the company announced on Facebook that "normal online purchase services" had resumed and wished its customers "Happy 3.1.4 buying again!".
If you look closer, you'll realize that Hyperion is using a different service provider for its online sales now: until yesterday, Avangate was handling the commercial downloads for the Belgian company. Now all "buy now" links are pointing to shareit.com. The first party to point out that 3.1.4 sales had been stopped due to a cease and desist from Amiga Washington (Amino) was author of the Amiga Documents report in a Twitter posting yesterday.
We were now able to have this confirmed by several sources: behind the scenes, Hyperion management is confirming that the company - or rather, its service provider Avangate - recieved a cease and desist from Amino. As of now, it is unknown to us what this C&D is based on. But Hyperion simply switching to a different service provider and continuing to sell the product worldwide is a clear statement that the two parties disagree about the legal situation.

AROS-Linux symbiosis: Status update on "ARIX"
The goal of "ARIX" is to run most parts of AROS on a Linux kernel. The project was started several years ago and the latest information dates from 2013. Since August the developer Michal Schulz writes regularly entries in his blog about the latest developments.
Update: (21.10.2018, 16:00, cg)
As Schulz points out in a posting (German) on amiga-news.de, his new ARIX project is using a different approach: he's no longer trying to run AROS hosted on the Linux kernel, he's now trying to create a Linux based operating system mimicking AmigaOS/AROS wherever possible. (cg) (Translation: dr)

New external PCMCIA adapter for A1200: KA02
At rastport.com an external PCMCIA adapter is introduced which places the PCMCIA card "vertically along the Amiga side, and which occupies much less place on the desk." By that you can save space e.g. for ethernet cards with cable connection. rastport.com's products are distributed via a number of dealers that are listed at the landing page of the developers website.
Note of the editor: For tower cases - in which usually external PCMCIA adapters are used - this version might be less suitable because according to the photos the port is probably higher than at an A1200 motherboard in a tower case.

MorphOS: E-Mail client Iris, beta version 40
Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek's "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.
The developer wrote: "This beta introduces the ability to move messages within an IMAP account and adds a more modern icon set from icons8.com. Some synchronization bugs have also been fixed."

Trevor Dickinson: status updates for Tabor, LibreOffice and Enhancer
This weekend, the 20th edition of AmiWest is taking place in Sacramento (USA). As usual, there's a big presentation (Youtube) from Trevor Dickinson (A-EON), but for the first time in many years there's no presentation or quick appearance from a Hyperion spokesperson. The following is a summary of the most important topics discussed during the A-EON presentation.
Tabor / A1222
The hardware was shipped to developers in 2014, betatesters received their boards in 2015 - nobody expected the process to take that long. What's missing before the board can be released is the audio driver and a finalised AmigaOS 4 ISO containing said driver. Dickinson could not describe the audio driver's current status since an update from the developer working on it didn't reach him in time for the show. He estimates that the boards will ship somehwere in the first quarter of 2019.
LibreOffice
Just like last year, Dickinson didn't address LibreOffice during his presentation. Asked about the office suite's current status afterwards, he explains that Hans-Jörg Frieden has been working on the project for two years 'part time'. After releasing a first beta to the testers in 2017, Frieden realised that he was facing "insurmountable problems" in finishing the port - AmigaOS was missing too much functionality.
After that, it was decided to base the AmigaOS port on the new Android version of LibreOffice 5, in which many of the problems Frieden was facing had already been solved - meaning the developer had to start from scratch again. Dickinson estimates that a beta version of the new port could be released to testers in January.
Enhancer
Later this year, developers will get free access to a "Enhancer Software Essentials" package that contains the libraries, gadgets and classes distributed with Enhancer to have more applications use these new features.
A paid upgrade to Enhancer, "Enhancer 2", is in the works, details are listed in one of Dickinson's slides (see below). A free [we think, Amiga-News] "Enhancer Graphics Update Pack" will be released before that, containing updates of various drivers and graphics subsystems aswell as the graphics card drivers for Radeon cards using the Polaris chipset that were announced earlier this year.
A 'Classic' edition of Enhancer for AmigaOS 3 is in the works. Users that want to help betatest it are asked to contact A-EON using enhancersoftware@amiga.org. While talking about this edition, Dickinson also mentions that A-EON purchased the rights to MediaToolBox, the HDToolBox successor from AmigaOS 4.
Miscellaneous
At the beginning of his presentation, Dickinson jokingly mentions he didn't bring an "Audio Conversation Jammer" and asks attendees not to secretly record his conversations with other people.
A-EON is looking for developers willing to work on some of the applications that were acquired. Octamed, ImageFX and Aladdin 4D are mentioned as examples.
Asked about a modern web browser, Dickinson explains that he's hoping to get a "leightweight, webkit based" browser done. But this would have to wait at least until LibreOffice is released.
Slides
The following screenshots show the slides from Dickinson's presentation that were shown during the (low resolution) live stream:

MorphOS: AppLauncher.sbar 2.1 (Update)
Thomas Igracki's screenbar module for Ambient's AppLauncher (screenshot) makes it possible to "start any application from every (public) screen without the need to switch to the Ambient screen or remember hotkeys". And the author also wrote: "This screenbar module opens a popup menu if you click on the butterfly symbol in your screenbar. There you can select the application you want to start!"
Version 2.0 offers a menu editor for a more simple configuration.

Update: (10:40, 14.10.18, snx)
Meanwhile version 2.1 has been released (bugfixes).

Raffle program: Raffeli 1.0
Raffeli is a simple MUI program for AmigaOS, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS created with Hollywood for raffling rgings (screenshot). The author wrote: "Use it to raffle prizes at events or for anything else that needs random results from custom lists, or to shuffle lists into a random order (picture of the software at the this year's Saku meeting).
Features:
- Individual or several winners can be raffled each round

Last week Ben Daglish had suddenly died at the age of only 52. Above all he got famous by his contribution to the C64 game "The Last Ninja" but also was involved in many other Amiga games, e.g. "Super Cars".

Image editing: RNOEffects 1.1
RNOEffects is an image editing software for AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS created with Hollywood and focused on batch processing and alpha channel based effects (screenshot). It offers about 30 different effects incl. drop shadows, elliptic crop - "which would need several steps on other similar programs" - drawing options for brushes, text, lines, ellipses, boxes, and arrows.
The author also wrote: "All effects can be applied to images in a freely selectable order in a batch conversion or image joining process. Unlimited amount of images can be joined as a single image. Can save multiple images to a single PDF file."
The program is available under the title link as well as via Grunch.

Hyperion Entertainment: AmigaOS 3.1.4 released
As reported, Thomas 'Thor' Richter and Olaf 'Olsen' Barthel have been working on an update of Commodore's AmigaOS 3.1. Today it has been released - please find below Hyperion Entertainment's official press release:
Brussels, October 30, 2018 - Hyperion Entertainment CVBA is highly pleased to announce the release of AmigaOS 3.1.4 as the biggest upgrade since the days of AmigaOS 3.5 and 3.9.
The new, cleaned-up, polished Amiga operating system for your 68K machine fixes all the small annoyances that have piled up over the years. Originally intended as a bug-fix release, it also modernizes many system components previously upgraded in OS 3.9.
Contrary to its modest revision number, 3.1.4 is arguably as large an upgrade as OS 3.9 was, and surpasses it in stability and robustness. Over 320K of release notes cover almost every aspect of your favourite classic AmigaOS - from bootmenu to datatypes.
AmigaOS 3.1.4 is available as immediate purchase from our direct download section [at the title link] as digital download and will be available shortly as physical set of 3,5" floppy diskettes and machine specific ROM(s).
Hyperion Entertainment CVBA wants to use this opportunity also to thank the great team of developers, testers, translators and other helpers for all their hard work during the recent months. Without them this release would not have been possible. (snx)

Web browser: NetSurf 3.8 (SDL version)
About two weeks ago Artur Jarosik as released an update of his Amiga port of the web browser NetSurf. His port is based on SDL, only the preferences pane is based on MUI, and is not to be confused with the Chris Young's native, Reaction-based version.
Notice of the editorial: The AGA version 3.8 does not run on the Amiga 1200 equippd with Blizzard-1230 accelerator board of our editor Daniel Reimann - it crashes with Guru-Meditation (80000008). According to the developer the M68060-compiler-switch he did use is not compatible with a 68030 processor with 68881-FPU. Besides, the auto update for the AGA version is broken and therefore has to be downloaded from the title link.

Chip-RAM extension: ACE2 by Individual Computers
For a few weeks Individual Computers has been offering "ACE2". This extension adds two Megabyte Chip-Ram to most of the OCS/ECS-Amiga. Because the board contains two components which are not available any more - the 2MB ECS-Agnus-Chip and a PLCC84 adapter socket - the producer has chosen a "progressive pricing model": The lower the availability of ACE2 the more the price increases. The first price was 120 Euro meanwhile it costs about 130 Euro. The maximum price will be 170 Euro.
Hint of the editorial stuff: On the ACE2 a NTSC version of Agnus is used. This one can be switched between the PAL and NTSC mode but always starts in NTSC mode. Therefore this extension was mainly made for users with upgraded Amigas - while booting from disk under Kickstart 1.3 you cannot change the mode so easily.

Connecting old joysticks to the PC: Arananet Joystick adapter
The Spanish shop Arananet offers an adapter which connects a retro joystick to an USB port of a common PC. No additional drivers are needed because the adapter registers to the host PC as simple USB device. Autofire is supported (if your joysticks allow it). A Spanish review of the adapter you can find on "Commodore Spain".

Jump'n Run: Trap Runner
After Solid Gold, "Trap Runner" (Video) is the second game which the brothers Frank and Gerrit Wille has released. Again it is a Jump'n Run, this time based on the classic game Mario Brothers. Trap Runner offers 5 different worlds each with 4 and one bonus level, a boss at the end of the level as well as some hidden levels.
The player can jump and run but also duck and can activate special skills by collecting pills or magic potion. Besides there are many items to be collected for improving health, getting an extra life or finishing the level.
Trap Runner runs on each Amiga with at least one Megabyte RAM. The game has been developed over seven months and released last weekend at the Function party in Budapest. It is considered to release a commercial collector edition if there is sufficient interest.

Web browser: Netsurf 3.8 (Reaction)
The web browser Netsurf - and also Chris Young's Reaction-based Amiga port - is available in version 3.8. The (cross-platform) changes "feature some page layout improvements, stability and security improvements, and some minor additional features". The port for AmigaOS 4 is available on the official download site. Test builds for AmigaOS 3 are offered separately - but here the support for SSL/TLS is broken. Young asks for your help to fix it.
On request of amiga-news.de Artur Jarosik, who is developing the SDL version for AmigaOS3 (amiga-news.de reported), said that he also is going to release a new version soon.

Free hardware: Replica of daughter board of A4000
Recently two projects were dealing with the replica of the mainboard of the Amiga 4000. Now documents are available on Github which provide all information for the self-construction of the daughter board carrying the Zorro slots.
The board layout was "made from ground using the A4000 original schematics". Compared to the original the replica has not any ISA slots but a VGA connector "to use with a VGA metal bracket".

Print magazine: Amiga Future Archive 4 (20 years edeition)
Press release: The Amiga Future Archive 4 (20 year edition) DVD has now been released. Originally launched at Gamescom in Cologne. The Amiga Future reached 20 years old this year. Reason enough to publish our new Amiga Future Archive DVD.
On this DVD you will discover the following issues to enjoy reading as PDFs:
- German: Amiga Future Issues 11 - 130
- English: Amiga Future Issues 67 - 130
Issues 11 to 26 were digitally scanned. All other editions are very high quality PDFs. Issue 11, way back in 1998, was the first German Amiga Future issue ever released. Issue 67, July/August 2007 was the first English edition of the Amiga Future magazine. So, our complete 20 years German Amiga Future story is available on this single DVD.
It is not possible to update a previous version of the Amiga Future Archive DVD, due to the media used, which we trust you will fully understand.

Case: Crowdfunding of Checkmate A1500 Plus announced
The Checkmate A1500 is a case for the Amiga 500 which transforms it into a desktop computer similar to the Amiga 2000 (amiga-news.de reported; a video about the historical backgrounds have been released two months ago). Stephen Jones has announced the crowdfunding of an updated edition of his product - on Tuesday 9 pm there will be a "launch party via live stream.
Besides the board of the Amiga 500/500+, the Checkmate-1500-Plus case will be also able to take an Amiga 600 or 1200 - or A-EON Technology's announced AmigaOne A1222 (Tabor), a Raspberry Pi or any other mainboard of the mini or micro-ATX format. Just like the original edition, a Riser card will provide a Zorro-II extension.
