In a detailed article - Polish original bzw. automatic translation - the author 'MUFA' has reviewed the different video players available for AmigaOS 4: Tested with an AmigaOne X1000 equipped with a Radeon HD R9 270 graphics card and an AmigaOne X5000 equipped with a Radeon RX 560 graphics card. Test candidates has been on the one hand the free MPlayer and FFPlay as well as the two commercial players DvPlayer and Emotion. He also has include in his consideration the support of the Unified Video Decoder (UVD).
Verdict: As of now, he recommends Emotion for overall performance. He awards second place to MPlayer for the best player without UVD support as well as its exemplary stability and free availability. Only in third place he sees DvPlayer, whereby he points out that with Hans De Ruiter a proven expert is entrusted with the further development and he therefore expects a lot from future versions.

Text adventure: "Darkest Hour" released
Darkest Hour is an old-fashioned text adventure game, available for several platforms and also for AmigaOS 3.
Die Story: "Halloween is almost here, but something is happening that's much scarier than the annual haunted house at the fire hall. There are rumors of a vampire - a real one - attacking people at night. Of course most people think it's just silly; who wouldn't? But people are going missing, and others swear they've seen it. It's up to you to track down this vampire, stop it if possible. The question is, will you even survive the night?"

Robert Smith has updated his project 'DrawBridge' (Disk Reader and Writer Bridge)for read Amiga disks using a common PC disk drive. According to the author, additional to improved diagnostics, improved reading/writing, extra features and new UI version 2.7 mainly offers HD floppy disk support.

GitHub project: Amiga 4000 accelerator board 'Z3660'
On GitHub the developer 'shanshe' has started a project for the Amiga 4000 accelerator board 'Z3660' which is based on John "Chucky" Hertell's A3660 board as well as the Z-turn Board. In contrast to the A3660 (currently) only 060 CPU are supported. If Z-turn FPGA is not used, then you get a simple A3660. The only difference is that all A3660 PLDs are replaced by a XC95144XL-TQ144 CPLD. If you use a Z-turn FPGA, then you can add 128 MB of CPU RAM (more RAM, RTG, AHI, USB, SCSI are planned in the future).

MorphOS: QR-Code generator 'QRCodeLab'
MorphOS developer Frank Mariak has released a MUI tool called 'QRCodeLab' which can be used to easily create QR codes and afterwards copying them to the Clipboard or saving them as pictures. We have tested the tool using our Amiga-News website: Working!
As the author wrote, "currently, it only supported encoding to UTF8 and non of the other compressed formats like numeric and/or alphanumeric are supported to reduce the code size. It dynamically adjusts the QRCode version based on the length of string."
If you have any suggestions or ideas for improvement, please feel free to contact the author via mail.
