`12.Nov.2022`	Do it yourself: Drivers for clockport/Raspberry Pi interface At the end of June Niklas Ekström had provided the information for the reconstruction of an interface with which a communication between Amiga and Raspberry Pi via the clockport is possible (amiga-news.de reported). The goal is to be able to run services like the filesystem a314fs which allows access to directories of the Raspbery Pi and the SANA-II network driver over it. After he published the source files of the necessary software adaptations a month ago, the pre-compiled Amiga files followed yesterday. (dr) [News message: 12.

`11.Nov.2022` Amiga Future (website)	Do it yourself: Sound card Prelude replica (Update) The Zorro II sound card Prelude supported recording and playing in full-duplex mode at a resolution of 16 bit and a frequency of upto 64 kHz. Those who are interested in building a replica themselves can find a corresponding project - inluding the expansion module MPEGit - at the title link. Update: (14.11.22, 08:00, snx) The GitHub repository has been removed meanwhile. As the developer of the replica, Alexander Engelhardt, told us, it had been just a backup, while by himself his work has been just released at a1k.org so far. The reason is that he would like to wait for possible bug reports first, an official release will follow. (snx) [News message: 11. Nov. 2022, 13:50] [Comments: 1 - 14.

`10.Nov.2022` Vinnny (ANF)	Distributed.net: OGR-28 completed, Distributed Amiga in second place Around the turn of the millennium, various initiatives were started to make unused computing time available for projects, which also led to the formation of teams in the Amiga area that competed with others - be it against other operating systems or among each other (amiga-news.de reported). With OGR, for example, the task is to search for an optimal Golomb ruler. More than eight years after finding the 27th-order one, when the Distributed Amiga team came in third, the optimal 28th-order Golomb ruler has now been found: The Distributed Amiga team even achieved second place this time, the MorphOS team twelfth.

`10.Nov.2022`	WHDLoad: Graphical user-interface iGame 2.2.0 iGame is a MUI-based frontend for starting WHDLoad games (amiga-news.de reported). Recently George 'walkero' Sokianos (editor 'Lite XL' or MediaVault) has released version 2.2.0 for AmigaOS 2.04 and higher, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS, providing the following changes: Added Added automatic release to Aminet and OS4Depot through the CI/CD whenever a new release tag is created at the repo Changed Removed completely the Tooltypes. Now iGame defaults to the optimal settings and uses only the settings file to change its behaviour. Now if the file "envarc:igame.prefs" exists then this is used by iGame, instead of the one that exists at the PROGDIR:. This way multiple iGame instances will have common settings. Introducing semantic versioning. No beta versions any more. Now the versions will have three digits based on MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH pattern.
