AmigaOS 4.1: Spreadsheet ignition 1.21
Achim Pankalla has released version 1.21 of his spreadsheet ignition, which requires at least AmigaOS 4.1 Update 6. The new version corrects bugs in some functions, now allows file suffixes with more than three characters and offers a revised manual.
The ods-addon has also been updated. The extension allows loading and saving tables in OpenDocument format, which is used in LibreOffice/OpenOffice Calc, among others. Changes in ign-ods-addon 0.37:
- now some more functions are converted
- solve a problem with ms ods-files
- corrects a failure in calculation of column and row size
A new addition is the xlsx-AddOn for reading MS Excel files. This is a first, early version of the extension, the integration in ignition must still be done manually. Here tested with a calendar file (left ignition, right Excel):
Achim Pankalla thanks all testers, bug reporters, translators and supporters. He welcomes any feedback via email, and also refers to the official ignition support forum (German) at os4welt.de for further information and discussion.

Frogger clone: Croaker
A classic: In the game produced by Sega in 1981 and developed by Konami, you have to guide a frog safely across a busy road and then across a river ((Wikipedia entry)). In the now released Amiga adaptation "Croaker" (YouTube video), the task remains the same, but becomes more difficult with each level, as the number of lanes increases. The game offers a 2-player mode and runs with AmigaOS 1.3 and 512k chip ram by default.

Tutorial: Setting up a FTP server under MorphOS, connecting to devices
Amiga-News.de reports about news from the Amiga world, informs about developments, projects, news. However, our readers - the normal Amiga user as well as developers and programmers - have a wealth of experience and practical knowledge themselves, which can provide added value for everyone. Therefore we would like to make such knowledge more available to the general public. The MorphOS and AmigaOS 3 user 'emeck' has kindly taken the trouble to document how he sets up an FTP server under MorphOS in order to connect to the cell phone for data exchange, as in this case. But of course this is also possible from other devices like laptop or Raspberry Pi. Many thanks, 'emeck'.

For the first time the first beta version of AmigaAMP v2.9 fully supported version 1.0 of MHI (amiga-news.de reported). The new version 1.2 contains:
