Nature sounds for relaxation: auraFly 1.1.1
George Sokianos' Hollywood program auraFly for AmigaOS, MorphOS and AROS/x86 allows you to mix different nature sounds to relax or work more focused (amiga-news.de reported). You can now save your selected sounds and volumes as presets, and five of these mixes are already included.
In addition, the window size has been significantly reduced to take up less space on the screen. However, the program can also be iconified without interrupting playback. (snx)

Spillhistorie: Interview with Fredrik Liljegren zu Pinball Dreams (englisch)
The Norwegian games magazine Spillhistorie has published an interesting interview with Fredrik Liljegren, in which the co-founder of Digital Illusions (later DICE) talks in detail about the development of the Amiga classic Pinball Dreams. Liljegren takes a close look at the game's beginnings, from its origins in the demo scene to the technical concept and the selection of a publisher.
He describes how the team was able to faithfully simulate real pinball tables using an unusual design—vertically scrolling playing fields across multiple screens. The result: realistic ball physics, impressive graphics and sound design, and unexpected success with over 650,000 units sold in the first year. The game was developed entirely in the developers' spare time, which explains the long development time of over four years. He also talks about early strategies against piracy, such as special crack detectors that introduced variable ball physics or score influences for copied versions.
The interview does not only offer historical insights, but also personal memories and a behind-the-scenes perspective. (nba)

Web browser: NetSurf 3.11 (68k)
Version 3.11 of the web browser NetSurf has been released for AmigaOS 4 at the end of 2023. Now the program has also been updated for AmigaOS/68k.
In addition to the general changes of the 3.11 version, also AmiSSL has been updated (version 5.20 is required), the CPU load management has been improved and a crash on exit under AmigaOS 3.2 has been fixed. In addition, a simple JavaScript engine can be used, but more for testing purposes, as it slows everything down without providing any major benefit.
