Amiga-Klon: Status update of Minimig
Dennis van Weeren, developer of the FPGA-based Amiga 500 clone Minimig (amiga-news.de reported), describes the current project status in a thread at amiga.org:
The board layout is finished now, meanwhile van Weeren is working at the routing. Later on a first small amount is produced for own demands.

AmigaOS 4: Video-/DVD-Player DvPlayer 0.54
Steohen Fellner provides a new version of a video- and DVD player "DvPlayer". Changes since the last release:
- Added direct DVD support
- Added automatic detection of CD/DVD drive (no need to specify device name/unit anymore)
- Added support for the new 64bit DOS functions so that files >2GB are now handled correctly
- Implemented the I/O plugin system and moved the DVD/VideoCD support to an external plugin
- Screen Blanker is now not allowed to activate while playing
- Implemented AppWindow support so files can be dragged onto DvPlayer's window
- Now the previous filename is remembered in the file requester when opening files
- Window is now opened on the frontmost screen (if it's public) instead of the Workbench screen so that if it's started from a different screen it will open there.
- Improved 6-Channel to Stereo audio conversion routines to avoid distortions which appeared with a few DVDs
- Fixed NOTRIPLEBUFFER option (was broken when subtitle support was added)
- Fixed sound distortions with interleaved AVI files
- Now ensures that only complete frames are sent to the video decoder for AVI files. This should fix the problems with partially downloaded AVI files.
- Fixed a bug in the subtitle code which caused memguard hits
- Fixed a serious bug in GUI loading (thanks to memguard)
- Fixed a nasty bug in the exit code which could cause random crashes
