Bugfix for the MHI driver for MAS-player
Thomas Wenzel wrote: "There was a bug in the MHI driver for the MAS player that caused some of the RS232 handshake lines to become misaligned at startup. This has now been fixed: The driver now leaves the serial interface completely alone.
The error was noticed because there is a project that uses one of the RS232 lines to control an HDMI switch. Unfortunately, the switching status was always overwritten when the driver was started.
Happy New Year! :)"

Emulated Amiga: Amigakit announces A1200NG, special price for pre-orders
In a press release (PDF), Amigakit announces the "A1200NG", which, like the A600GS available since August, is apparently based on an ARM-based Orange Pi motherboard running a Linux-based Amiga emulator - hardware performance and software setup are therefore exactly the same as its little brother. The highlight of the A1200NG: The "breakout board", into which the Orange Pi is plugged and which extends it with various connections, has the exact dimensions of an Amiga 1200 board and is therefore installed in an original or reproduced A1200 keyboard housing.

amiga-news.de wishes you a happy new year
The amiga-news.de team hopes that our readers survived New Year's Eve well and wishes everyone a Happy New Year. For the Amiga, the past 12 months were - again - quite pleasing and we are confident that there will be a lot to report, discuss and try out again in 2025.
2024 was also a good year for amiga-news.de: we published 1400 news items, the editorial team also received an experienced addition with Nico Barbat and the technology department was significantly strengthened with Markus Bonet. Our news service, which is starting its 27th "financial year" today, should therefore also have a few good years ahead of it. The first goal is, of course, to produce a similar number of articles again, but we will also be working more intensively on the underlying technology.
If you would like to support our work, you are welcome to make a small donation via the PayPal button on our start page. The (small) proceeds will be used to cover our costs for a server and our three domains.

Picture collection: Update of the Amiga Graphics Archive
The "Amiga Graphics Archive" is dedicated to all kinds of pixel graphics created with the Commodore Amiga between 1985 and 1995. According to the operator, quite a number of remarkable images were created during this period, which he believes should not be gathering dust on some hard drive, hidden in an extra level in a game that is never played, or on a PD collection disk that is almost unknown. These graphics should be accessible to all by presenting them on his website.
Somewhat deviating from its own credo and following on from a first set of images published in October 2023 (amiga-news.de reported), this year's works by Danish graphic designer Facet have now been added.

British computer graphics veteran Shaun McClure reported on Facebook that Brown had been very ill for a long time following a series of strokes. The last time he spoke to him would have been via a voice emulator.

SSL library: wolfSSL for the Amiga
wolfSSL is an open source C library that is primarily intended to provide devices and applications in the embedded sector with an SSL solution. One of the developers involved has now adapted the library to the Amiga: He describes the implementation in a detailed blog, the source code is available on Github.
The author himself would like to try to implement the wolfSSL-based Secure Shell wolfSSH for the Amiga next. It is also possible - although not necessarily planned by him - to use it as a replacement for AmiSSL, to port other tools from the wolfSSL suite or to adapt it to one of the ARM cores in a ZZ9000 graphics card in order to relieve the 68k processor of the complex SSL calculations.
