`06.Oct.2024` ANF	Emulator: FS-UAE fork started GitHub user 'jacereda' has started a fork of the Amiga emulator FS-UAE. At the title link, a cleanup is currently taking place; in addition to the dependencies and the goal of a reproducible build environment, especially the JIT needs some work, since it is no longer working after the merge. Help with debugging is welcome. FS-UAE itself has not been updated since 2022, the last source code addition was on July 29 of that year. Frode Solheim's last online activity known to us dates back to September 11 of last year. An e-mail inquiry to the author has so far remained unanswered, we will update this news-item if possible.
