Hollywood: Easing Lib 1.2
Fabio Falcucci has updated his Hollywood library "Easing Lib". There are no detailed information of changes in version 1.2. Easing Lib is distributed as shareware and allows you to "create smooth transitions between values so you can use it to animate anything you like: graphical objects, colors, values, and any value you need to be smoothly changed into another value."

Download link and new information on "Amiga Racer"
In a thread on a1k.org, some screenshots of "Amiga Racer" were published. Additionally the developer justifies himself to the users there. The game explicitly is inspired by Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge and will be offered for free for AmigaOS 3 (68020), AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS.

A preversion for AmigaOS 4 is already available. Currently the ports for MorphOS and 68020 are developed. Within the game you can change to the full screen mode by pressing the "F"-key and you can also update to the latest version of "Amiga Racer".
