AmigaOS 4.1: Spreadsheet ignition 1.22
Achim Pankalla has released version 1.22 of his spreadsheet ignition which at least requires AmigaOS 4.1 update 6. Changes:
- The csv addon now supports UTF8 characters on reading.
- All addons now support filenames with more than one "." in their names.
- The Arexx process no longer crashes, when ignition receives many Arexx commands.
- The ARexx command Coord2Pos returns now FAIL when row or col are lower than one and no longer corrects this automatically.
- The font manager of ignition now no longer makes a failure when searching for the bold or italic style fonts. That provides a better look of the font because now the correct font is used.
- ignition's font manager now informs the user when a font is not found, so he can create/search for the needed one. This also results in a better look of the tables.

MP3 player: Reel Deck V1.06
At the beginning of February, Sami Vehmaa had released 1.00 of his MP3 player "Reel Deck" for Amigas with graphics card (amiga-news.de reported). Since then he has made minor improvements and bug fixes. The changes:
- removed case sensitivity in file names
- added two more reels and analog VU
- dbl_display.include upgraded, no jumping window to position 0,0
- changed timing to FPS instead of timer
- song info text colour fix
- VU meter bug found and squashed
The player can currently be purchased for one euro or more, but is primarily intended for emulators or Apollo cards due to the high CPU requirements. AmigaOS 3.x and at least 20 MB RAM are required. (dr)

Video series "Taborized": Battle Squadron Enhanced + Tower 57 adapted to A1222+
Daniel 'Daytona675x' Müßener had already adapted some of his games to the Tabor board in the past (e.g. Tower 57). However, all of these games still lacked sound because there was no sound driver at the time. Since meanwhile the sound driver is available, he is working on these games one after the other and adapting the audio code for SPE. This has already been done for the games Battle Squadron Enhanced and Tower 57.
The respective executables will be made available free of charge. (dr)

Report: Swapping the CPU in MicroA1 (Czech)
Martina Hřebcová is known for her extensive and detailed reports on PowerPC hardware. Based on his previous article about the influence of the cache on PowerPC CPU she now reports how she swapped the G3-CPU in her MicroA1 from 750FX to 750GX and finally overclocked GX to 1200 MHz. Because of the large 1024 kB cache, speed increase especially with emulators and web browsing are great. (dr)

Xbox: 201 Amiga games in stream with Antstream Arcade
Owners of the Xbox game console from Microsoft now have access to 201 Amiga games via streaming, provided by the British provider Antstream. (Or "had access", respectively, since according to today's updated FAQ, Antstream Arcade has been "temporarily" removed by Microsoft from their store.) For the usage you can choose between a 1-year and a lifetime fee.
The licensing of the games from Amiga Corporation by Antstream was announced last year at Amiga37, Evercade was mentioned as another licensee at that time. Antstream Arcade is also available for PC, Mac, Android and Amazon's Fire TV. (snx)

Proof of concept: Shoot 'em Up "Amiga E.D.F."
The developer 'S0Y' (among others Temptations port for the CD32) has taken a look at the Shoot 'em Up Earth Defense Force, originally released for the SNES, and tested if an implementation and continuation on Amiga-AGA computers would be possible (YouTube video). The game, which is explicitly not intended to be a pure port, should have the following features:
- 32 colours with "AGA features"
- 020/14 MHz
- 25 FPS
- CD32 audio-tracks
- 1300 Kb RAM used so far (672 kb Chip + 628 Fast)

Program for DeepL use: AmiTranslate 0.2
Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow's programme AmiTranslate (video) serves as a link to the translation service DeepL and is available for AmigaOS, AmigaOS 4, AROS (x86, x64, ARM) and MorphOS.
In version 0.2 some bugs have been fixed: the scrollbars for the text edits now work and pdf documents do now care about returns or line wrap. Additionally, an user suggestion was implemented: a context menu for both edits to copy and paste text.
Besides an SSL-secured internet connection (OpenSSL3 under MorphOS resp. AmiSSL for the other systems) the program also needs the MUI class texteditor.mcc. (dr)

Platform game: Rastan demo v0.32
Rastan was released in 1987 by Taito for arcade machines. A few days ago, we reported on the demo version of the Amiga port which is currently in development. The demo now was updated to version 0.32. Changes:
- Fixed: Jumping, swinging and then trying to do a downwards plunge mid-swing would glitch out the animation big-time.
- Grabbing onto ropes while doing a downwards plunge would cause Rastan's legs to think they were crouching and not climbing.
- The flying demon's legs would transplant themselves onto a different monster if his upper body went off-screen while the legs stayed in view.
- Fixed some enemies spawning in above ground if the player was still in mid-air at the time.
- A couple of bugfixes and tweaks for the lizardman and bat AI's.
- The HD version had issues with music and sfx playback on 68040 processors. Fixed with the latest Scorpion update.

Hall of Light: Relaunch of Amiga game database
For a good week now, the Amiga game database "Hall of Light" has been presented in a new design. The most important changes:
- Readable game URLs e.g. https://amiga.abime.net/games/view/hunter instead of https://hol.abime.net/764
- Game pages now have a Game->Version->Release structure instead of separate game entries. For example, Zool has three versions (ECS, AGA and CD32) and Driller/Space Station Oblivion are in one entry.
- New advanced game search and game listing.
- Responsive design that adjusts for desktop/tablet/mobile.
- New look and feel that tries to modernise but keep the old colour scheme, tabs etc.
- In-page game info/screen/file editing for editors/admin.
- DBSs are split into two screens alongside each other (horizontal for desktop, vertical for mobile).
- Default screen size is doubled to 640x512.
- Artist credits can have roles alongside.
- Features (programming language, enhanced features, graphics, sound) moved out of Quickmatch to separate section.
If you don't like the new design, you can access the old design at https://oldhol.abime.net/. However, this will no longer be updated. (dr)
