AmigaOS 4: HivelyTracker 1.7
HivelyTracker is a tracker based on the AHX-format. AHX was developed in the 90s to be able writing songs which are similar to the typical chip-sound of the SID (sound chip of the C64).

In version 1.7 two minor bugs were fixed. Additionally now there is a SDL-based version which makes ports to Windows and Mac OS possible. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: Midi-Sequencer BarsnPipes 0.7.1
Lyle Hazelwood who has taken over the development of the AmigaOS 4-version of the MIDI-sequencer BarsnPipes of Alfred Faust has released a first minor update of the programm. Changes in version 0.7.1:
  • You no longer need LhA in the C directory
  • The multiple CAMD in and out tools have been replaced with a single CAMD_In and CAMD_Out pipetools. These no longer read ENVARC: for camd cluster names. Each tool may have any CAMD cluster, no limits.

This version is not backward compatible to previous releases of BarsnPipes. On the AmiWest the author had announced to adapt all extensions little by little.

It is not certain if this version can import saved BarsnPipes-projects. The author recommends to hide the Tools-directory so no tools are loaded. MIDI-files can be imported with the tool "sMerFF".

In future the CAMD-support is supposed to be improved as well as a modern graphical user-interface to be created. (cg) (Translation: dr)

MorphOS: Bounty for a port to PowerMac-computers with G5-CPU
The Polish MorphOS website morphos.pl collects money which will be used to pay the developer Mark "Bigfoot" Olsen for writing a port of MorphOS to PowerMacs with a CPU PPC970FX ("G5").

The MorphOS-Team several times announced a port for G5-computers (1, 2, 3) but never came true.

The port will be started if 3000 Euro has been collected. The Macintosh computer is donated by Wiktor "Pampers" Glowacki from morphos.pl. Bounty requirements are as follows:
  • The port of MorphOS must work on one model of PowerMac G5: : A1047 (7,3 - M9747LL/A) with 2,0 Ghz. Support of other PowerMac G5 models is not precluded, but is not required.
  • Support of Bluetooth module and AirPort (WiFi) module is not required.
  • Only one CPU will be supported.
  • Bounty donations are not related to MorphOS license. Any contributor wanting to buy a MorphOS license for PowerMac G5, will pay the regular price.
  • Bounty timeframe: 3 months after the programmer receives the machine.

You can donate on the official project site with Paypal. (cg) (Translation: dr)
