New webinterface for amiga-news.de chat
The IRC-channel #amiganews is one of the oldest and probably most active German chat room about the Amiga. Thanks to a hint of Christian Rosentreter now we can offer a comfortable webinterface which can be accessed by any web browser.
The webinterface does not work with IBrowse or AWeb but the channel can be used with a traditional IRC-client: irc.freenode.net, Port: 6667, Kanal: #amiganews.

AROS: Short review of Janus-UAE 1.1 (English/French)
On the website of Obligement a short Janus-UAE review in English as well as in French was published by Niko Tomatsidis.
As a result the high performace speed was honoured (on a netbook with 1,6-GHz-Atom-processor). There were minor problems with the mouse pointer and the complicated way of the installation was criticised.

Commercial WLAN-driver with WPA/WPA2-support (AmigaOS 3/4)
For a long time Neil Cafferkey has been working on a network driver for PCI and PCMCIA-WLAN boards with the Prism 2-chipset. All available, free versions only could handle the WEP-encryption.
According to Cafferkey on amiga.org, now he offers a commercial version of the driver for AmigaOS 3/4 which supports WPA-/WPA2-encryption as well. For 15 Euro for each board you will get a driver for AmigaOS 3 and/or 4. You can write your requests per eMail to the author.
In order to use the WLAN-board with the Amiga driver among others a firmware update is required. Cafferkey recommends version 1.7.4 and refers to an English tutorial.

Emulator: Preview to WinUAE 2.3.2
As usual the developers of the well-known Amiga emulator WinUAE has given a preview to the next version. WinUAE 2.3.2 is supposed to be published in one or two weeks and for the first time is supposed to be used a 68k-port of AROS as Kickstart replacement if there is not an official Kickstart.
New features:
- AROS ROM replacement development snapshot included, replaces old
very basic ROM replacement feature, used by default if official
KS ROM is not found
- New autofire option. Button released = autofire. Button pressed = normal non-autofire firebutton
- Stop the CPU and wait until blitter has finished if any blitter register is accessed while blitter is busy and CPU mode is fastest possible
- Better workaround than immediate blitter for programs that have blitter wait bugs with fast CPU
- Serial port telnet server
Updates:
- Disk emulation accuracy improved (Codertrash / Mexx, El Egg Tronic Quarts / Quadlite)
- CIA timer undocumented startup delays emulated (Risky Woods sound glitches)
- win32.floppy_path and win32.hardfile_path really works as expected
- Display panel refresh rate accepts non-integer values
Bug fixes:
- Implemented workaround that should fix Direct3D blank screen problem
- Sample ripper crash
- 68000 exception 3 emulation fixed again. (Broke compatibility with some
very old copy protections, for example Soldier of Light and Zoom!)
- Reset bug that broke Arcadia mode, A1000 mode and Action Replay ROMs
- Automatic resolution switch interlace detection was unreliable
- CD32 early boot menu is accessible again
- Rare crash when switching from fullscreen RTG mode to native mode
- Borderblank chipset feature didn't work in ECS Denise mode
- Possible input configuration corruption due to uninitialized variable
- Color change table overflow crash that can happen when emulated program crashes really badly
