Project Synergy: App-Store for all Amiga systems
In November, Pascal Papara announced an App-Store which currently is in beta test. He wrote:
"Developers already can register and provide feedback.
Pleasenote: It does not become a Web frontstore! The Web interface is meant for developers/content creators (music, books, magazines, films, demos).
Customers will access via client applications and will not via the browser. The API will be documented and in future third-party-developers can create other clients.
A referral-system will be made available, thus distributions can benefit from the proceeds. Via the referral-system, 3rd-party-webstores can access the store via API.
The virtual currency is used mainly for supporting Amiga-related projects. Additionally, traders can join in. The user beta test will start as soon as possible.
Similar to Apple's App-Store, our client will provide future system updates for AROS-Broadway and AEROS."

AmigaOS 4/AROS: Anniversary special edition of arcade game "Boh"
On the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the arcade game Boh, the author has released a "special edition" on CD which provides some improvements:
- includes all the updates released previously
- reworks the video modes handling (full screen by default; window on 16-bit screens allowed; more robust; etc.)
- adds the CRT and LCD pixel modes
- adds the 5x zoom
- adds 5 new missions, bringing the total to a massive 60
- assigns the pause to the [ESCAPE] key (instead of a specific key), which thus no longer causes the immediate abort of the current mission
- reworks the menu controls (more keys; do not depend anymore on the in-game controls configuration)
- adds the emergency configuration reset (assigned to the key [F12])
- adds the screenshot functionality (assigned to the key [PRINT])
- makes quitting by means of [ALT]+[F4] available on all platforms
- sets the default URL for records submission to www.retream.com/BOH (it is no longer necessary to specify such URL manually in the configuration file)
- replaces the copy code with an email address for the records submission
- updates the manuals
- applies many other optimizations/changes/fixes, for more performance, polish and robustness
The CD includes versions for AmigaOS 4, AROS, Linux, MacOS and Windows and provides an installation programm which installs the latest version or can update an existing version as well as the complete soundtrack and high-resolution images of the DVD-covers.
A demo version of the "special edition" for diverse systems is available on the website of the game.

Enhanced emergency disk for AmigaOS 3.9
Soon an update for the bootdisk-creator Amiga 911 Maker will be released which can create an enhanced version of an emergency disk for AmigaOS 3.9. As a little preview the author has made available some versions of his "Emergency Disk II":
The new emergency disk should work on all A600/A1200 with at least 6 MB RAM. Additional to the option to boot with a disk, then to integrate a CD-ROM drive and accessing the OS 3.9-CD, the Emergency Disk II supports further options to boot or install the system :
- You can use an AmigaOS 3.9 ISO image which can be present on any drive that gets mounted on startup
- You can also use an external USB CD-ROM drive
- you can make a AmigaOS 3.9 USB pendrive or a Compact Flash card to be used with a CF-PCMCIA adapter
Due to legal reasons the disk does not include all necessary files - they have to be imported with the tool "Activate E-Disk-II" from an existing AmigaOS CD or installation.
Download sites for the different versions:
EDiskII-V1a-OS3.9-020.zip (676 KB)
EDiskII-V1a-OS3.9-020-LE.zip (378 KB) ("Lite"-version, half of the disk is empty)
EDiskII-V1a-OS3.9-020-USB.zip (681 KB) (USB-support)

Today the Linux-Kernel 3.13-rc6 has been released for the Sam440ep and Sam460ex board as well as for the AmigaOne X1000 for testing purposes. 'Spectre660' has written the version for ACube System's computers, Olof Johansson and Christian Zigotzky have provided the kernel for the AmigaOne X1000.
Please note that the Radeon Dynamic Power Management does still not work on these computers. Therefore you have to add the Boot-parameter radeon.dpm=0.
Example for the Sam4x0-boards:
-- /boot/menu.lst --
title Ubuntu
kernel /boot/uImage root=/dev/sda10 radeon.dpm=0 console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0
dtb /boot/canyonlands.dtb
Example for the AmigaOne X1000:
CFE> setenv bootargs "root=/dev/sda4 radeon.dpm=0"
Download:
Sam440ep-3.13.0-rc6.tar.gz (5 MB)

Text editor with Kickstart 1.2-compatibility: Redit 1.2
Kai Scherrer's text editor Redit runs without any limitations on an Amiga equipped with Kickstart 1.2, but is compatible to higher versions of the system as well. Apart from the libraries in the ROM, usually no other system files are required (under Kickstart 2 or higher the asl.library can be used). The editor can also be started from an emergency disk or after booting without startup-sequence.

AmigaOS 4: E-UAE 0.8.29 with integrated JIT-compiler (beta)
For quite some time, Álmos Rajnai (Petunia) has been working on the integration of a JIT-68k-compiler into the Amiga emulator E-UAE. As a result, 68k-programms could be run much faster under UAE.
Today Rajnai has released an early beta version of E-UAE-JIT. So far not all 68k-commands were implemented. The author urgently requests to carefully read the included readme-file.
The status of the JIT-compiler (enabled, enabled but inactive, not available) is shown by a new "LED" which is next to the simulated drives-LED - they possibly have to be activated in the configuration menu. JIT-compiling only works if UAE at least emulates a 68020-CPU and if the CPU-caches are enabled.
A MorphOS-port is in progress.

Jump'n Run: Solid Gold for Amiga 500
After about a year, Frank (code) and Gerrit Wille (graphics) have released their game "Solid Gold". According to the developers the game is a mix of Turrican, Giana Sisters and Rick Dangerous. It is a Jump'n Run game "with soft 8-way scrolling over four worlds with different graphics and music".
Solid Gold requires an Amiga with at least one Megabyte RAM (512 KB Chip, 512 KB Fast) as well as Kickstart 1.2 or higher. It is compatible to faster and more equipped computers but does not use the performance.
The source code of the game will be published in some days under a Public Domain licence. Another commercial release of the game with a professional case is planned.

Accelerator board: Flash Update for the ACA500
Jens 'Paradroid' Schönfeld by Individual Computers has made available a Flash update for his Amiga 500-expension ACA500:
- fixed unreliable entering of menu with mouse button
- fixed star field and expert menu random settings bug, does not alter memory any more when menu is not started
- Gurus were not shown, because our serial debugging caused launching the Rom-debugger. It is an experimental fix - please check it out!
- acamaprom stability updates
- possible workaround for display
In order to overwrite the Flash-ROM you have to unzip the file and copy it into the main directory of a FAT-formated memory card. The card then is put in the AUX-slot of the ACA500 (and all other cards must be removed).
After rebooting the computer, by pressing F10 you enter the "expert menu". By pressing the F-key you can to initialize the Flash-update.

Babylonian Twins: Amiga collector edition possible
Babylonian Twins is a Jump'n'Run game with puzzle elements which was developed in 1993/94 in Iraq. The project was shelved after the collapse of Commodore. But in 2008 a demo version was released as ADF and WHDLoad file (amiga-news.de reported). The next year the release for mobile phones was started.
Under the title link now it is possible to show your interest in a collector edition for the Amiga. A price range of 15 up to 30 US-Dollar is mentioned.

AmigaOS 4: Web-Browser Odyssey 1.16
Shortly after the release of MUI 4, the port of version 1.16 of Fabien Coeurjoly's web browser Odyssey is available. Odyssey 1.16 is not the latest version and already two years old but so far for AmigaOS only version 1.9 was available.
The port for AmigaOS 4 does not feature support of HTML5 video and audio. Besides, there are not a plugin-interface or spell check. Currently the archive still is in the upload queue but soon will be available on the main site of the file archive.
Hint of amiga-news.de: For the release of the sources of the latest version of Odyssey currently money is collected.

Jump'n Run: Full version of Putty Squad as free download
Almost 20 years ago, System 3's Putty Squad should have been released: a demo version was released on several disks of magazines and diverse British magazine did rate the game - and all of them with a high number of points.
But the final release did not follow and during the next years the game became some kind of a hidden secret for hunters of unreleased games.
With the help of the Amiga veteran "Galahad", now the Amiga version of Putty Squad was finished so far. As a Christmas gift to all Amiga fans, System 3 has made available the game on its website for free download.
Putty Squad is provided as two ADF-files and requires an AGA-Amiga. There are no plans for installing it on harddrive. Your web browser has to accept cookies otherwise the download will not work.
Ian 'Codetapper' Lightbody has interviewed Galahad. They talked about the communication with System 3 and the technical problems with finishing the game.

AROS: AEROS beta version 6 for Raspberry Pi
The sixth beta version of Pascal Papara's Debian-Linux-hosted AROS-distribution AEROS for the Raspberry Pi (video) has been released for registered and unregistered users - as usual the version for unregistered users does not include the lx-command with which it is possible to launch Linux-programms out of AROS.
Changes:
- Made alias "omxplayer" under AROS; if you put videos into the video-folder you can run them from any place with "omxplayer nameofvideo" from AROS shell; it supports full HD-Playback through GPU (some additional codecs can be purchased from Pi-store)
- Linux filesystem is now accessible thanks to deadwood's fix
- Assigns Home: and Media: added to Wanderer
- Updated AROS and Linux system files
- Added some icons for Synaptic and file manager (looks like IndieGO!-Marketplace icon but it just launches Synaptic)
- Added Pi-store icon
- Added UAE4all (untested, experimental)
- If you doubleclick a video file in Linux file manager, it will be played through omxplayer

The Amiga version of NetBSD now also supports the expansion board ACA500 developed by Individual Computers. Currently only the first Compact-Flash-Slot can be used to boot because the ACA500 has to be connected with an accelerator board with MMU which is also supported by NetBSD.

Announcement: 68k-Live-Remixing-Tool PT1210
Andreas Rösner wrote: After one year of development time the developers h0ffman & Akira Rei has finished the beta version of the new live-remixing-application "PT1210" for the Commodore Amiga (screenshot).
According to the developer Akira basically it is a Protracker-MOD-software which simulates the functionality of a Pioneer CDJ Turntables but works with Tracker-modules.
Basically the programm runs on all Amigas with ECS-chipset. The application was written in assembler code by h0ffman. Akira has created the user-interface. The concept was developed by both partners.
The programm is supposed to be presented at the Datastorm 2014 in Göteborg which will take place from February 14th until 16th. Release date will be April 18th during the Revision 2014 in Saarbrücken, Germany.

Workbench enhancement: BetterWB 3.2
Similar to AIAB, AmiKit or AmigaSYS, BetterWB is a collection of Workbench tools for AmigaOS 3.1 which are rather simple and therefore have low hardware requirements. It is meant for purists, low end Amiga computers and Minimig users.
BetterWB runs on all Amigas and is provided as disk images. It requires the original disks of the Workbench 3.1 (3.0 may be sufficient as well but was not tested) and 8 MB free harddrive memory.
Changes:
- DosPrefs is a commodity that replaces both Clicknot and Unixdirs3 and adds wildcard support
- A powerful system Trashcan is now included as a commodity
- MagicMenu has now a preferences program and is configured to use less resources
- Boards.library got updated to its last incarnation
- A bugfixed requestchoice command fixes three bugs that were previously available
- Tooltype tweaking on some commodities for more comfortable use
- Workaround for an icon.library bug regarding internal deficons
- Format GUI now works without problems
- Plus Many more fixes and minor enhancements

similar like a moved vector base, but only on interrupts not
on exceptions
- new: on AGA machines all color registers are read from the custom
chips and written to the dump file
- fix: WHDLoadCD32 works again with resload_DiskLoad, was broken in
version 17.1 (issue #2633)
- chg: utility ITD can now read files larger than 4 GiB (e.g. on
SFS\2) and write to larger devices using TD64
- chg: alignment for patch lists (resload_Patch/Seg) is now verified
by WHDLoad to avoid problems on 68000/10
- chg: the check for valid custom.aud*ptr introduced in version 17.1
can now be enabled via the new option ChkAudPt/S
- fix: on Kickstart 2.0 (V37) option NoMemReverse/S is now always
active to avoid problems which could lead to freezing during
Preload or other memory allocations
- chg: memory allocations improved if NoMemReverse/S is active, now
these will succeed also if memory below BaseMemSize is free
by trying to allocate until memory is above
- fix: preload progress bar fixed on Kickstart 2.0 (V37), was using
a V39 only utility.library function
- new: added IF/ELSE/ENDIF conditional blocks to patch lists to
simplify the handling of patches depending on ButtonWait/S and
Custom1-5/N options (resload_Patch/Seg)
- chg: detection of HRTmon builtin WinUAE improved to support if MMU
protection is enabled with WHDLoad (CFOU!)
- chg: options NTSC/PAL can be set global and local now, where the
local one (CLI/Tooltype) will overwrite the global one
(configuration file S:WHDLoad.prefs)
- new: WHDLoad now sets the screen mode in HRTmon to the video mode
specified for the installed program, with that HRTmon will
always uses the same video mode (PAL/NTSC) as WHDLoad, for
correct operation at least HRTmon version 2.35 is required
- chg: audio.device is only opened when present in execs device list,
this saves some memory if it isn't initilized already
- chg: install script template now supports also the diskimage
device by Fredrik Wikstrom (Psygore)
- chg: option FullChip/S can also set globally now
- new: support for interrupt vector redirect feature of ACA500 on
68000 added
- chg: added a kludge to preserve the largest free memory block until
PreLoad in situations where multiple small free blocks are
available to increase the likelihood of being able to cache a
large disk image
