PDF magazine: Commodore Free, issue 97
After a break of more than six years (issue 96), the English-language PDF magazine "Commodore Free" is back: as editor Nigel Parker reports, the original website was hacked via a PHP script and all files were deleted. "Scopperdive LTD" has restored the original website and updated it so that it is easier to read on mobile devices and smaller screens. Even though he suffered numerous strokes of fate during the long hiatus, he decided to revive the magazine, also encouraged by countless emails, and offers a colourful bouquet of topics on Commodore and Amiga computers in this issue.

AROS: Irritating bug of the month November
Around a month ago, AROS developer Krzysztof 'deadwood' Śmiechowicz launched a new initiative including a survey: every month, a bug can be selected from a list of bugs that bother the community and have been reported in the bug tracker, which he then fixes. For the month of November, a bug that did not occur 14 years ago was fixed with 40% of the votes: Wanderer can now run CLI programmes with an argument again, so that it behaves like OS3.9. He has released an updated workbench.library V45.4 for this purpose.
