`24.Dec.2024`	Assembler: ASM-Pro 1.21 released ASM-Pro is a MC680x0 macro assembler for the Amiga with an integrated editor, debugger, linker and monitor. The program offers full MC680x0, FPU and MMU support. About a year after the last update, ASM-Pro has now been brought up to version 1.21. The changes: ADDITIONS ASM: Optional multi-line scroll (8 lines instead of only 1) to speed up assembly when output is verbose (e.g. large number of included files or print directives). Check Multiscroll in the assembler preferences. ASM: New integer operator: modulo // (e.g. 123//20 returns 3). BUGFIXES ASM: REM/EREM block was not allowed in BSS sections. CMDLN: RB (read binary) causes a crash if begin address is unparsable. UI: Bevel box is slightly off for the top parameter groups in the environment preferences. CMDLN: @-prefixed dump commands incorrectly check for odd address and cpu version, causing a crash on 68000/010 systems. ASM: Directives and instructions in the first line of a REPT 0 block starting with either @ or A cause internal error. ASM: Incorrectly parsed number of bitplanes while including an IFF colormap causes memory list corruption. ASM: Whitespace lines in a macro could cause the Unexpected end of file error and consequent editor freeze. (nba) [News message: 24.

`23.Dec.2024`	Action game: Amiga Yoomp! released In contrast to Marek Duda's realisation of the game Yoomph!, originally written for the Atari, which he called "Jump!" and which is written explicitly for AGA Amigas (amiga-news.de reported), Zbigniew Ross' aim was to see how the game could be made to run on an Amiga 500 Now he has published the result (video): an improved port of his C64 conversion that runs on OCS Amigas, but also on later models with faster processors and better graphics options.
