Internet over parallel port: plipbox 0.3
With Christian 'lallafa' Vogelgsang's plipbox Amigas without many extensions can go online. The Arduino-based adapter can be connected to the parallel port and provides a connection to the Ethernet-port of the Arduino board. The magPLIP-protocol is used.
Version 0.3 includes updates of the firmware and of the Amiga driver which introduces a MAC-Bridge.

AmigaOS 4: WLAN-driver atheros5000.device 1.4
With the atheros5000.device a network board driver for AmigaOS 4 is available for WLAN-PCI-boards (54 Mbps, 802.11g). The WPA/WPA2-encryption as well as WEP are supported. PCI-Express-boards may also work but have not been tested.
For AROS and MorphOS this driver which was written by Neil Cafferkey is already available. A port for AmigaOS 3.x probably will not succeed due to the DMA-requirements.

System-Patch for A3000/4000: ApolloFix loads 680x0.library to OnBoard-RAM
André 'Ratte' Pfeiffer has written a patch for A3000-/A4000-users which always loads the 68040 and 68060 libraries to the virtual memory of the main board. This helps Apollo accelerator boards working without any problems with the reset-routines of some versions of the 68060.library. The author supposes that this patch improves the system stability of other accelerator boards as well.

MorphOS 3.2 released
Press release: The MorphOS development team is proud to announce the public release of MorphOS 3.2, which introduces support for Power Mac G5 workstations, iBook G4 laptops and additional PowerBook G4 models.
The 3.2 release also has a strong focus on improved network support with a completely new and improved NetStack core as well as support for wireless networks. In addition, there are several new network-related tools such as VNC client, a Remote Desktop Client and a tool showing detailed network statistics.
As usual, the latest release also offers many new features and bug fixes. For an overview of the included changes, please read our release notes.
We strongly urge new users to carefully read our installation and troubleshooting guides before they attempt to install MorphOS for the first time.

Text viewer: EvenMore 0.77, with MorphOS-port
Chris Perver's text viewer EvenMore now is also available as MorphOS-port. Changes in version 0.77:
- Sped up scrolling by storing some commonly used values from nexted objects in variables instead. Also did the same for freeing memory for plugins.
- Updated OpenURL library code for version 7.10. Hopefully this will allow the OpenURL function to work on MorphOS.
- The VANILLAKEY event was stopping the string gadgets from working on the MorphOS port. Changed code to use MapRawKey() instead.
- Now uses ScrollRaster() function instead of ClipBlit() for scrolling window contents. ClipBlit was faster on AmigaOS 3, but did not work whenever a window was moved out of the screen on MorphOS.

Flickerfixer: Indivison AGA Mk2 CR A1200/4000T
From now on the Indivision AGA Mk2 is available again in different shops. Individual Computers has called its slightly reworked version "Cost Reduced" - the DVI-port now is molded and "components of the small DVI-connector board have now moved to the main flickerfixer". There are not any other changes.
Due to the changed size of the board (picture) maybe the Indivision Mk2 AGA does not collide with a Blizzard Vision any longer but this could not be tested by the developer.
Jens Schönfeld wrote: "The new version "Indivision AGA MK2cr" uses a different connector for the DVI cable. It gets in the way of electrolytic capacitor CE164C in the A4000T. If you want to use the new version in the A4000T, you need to replace that capacitor with a lower-profile ceramic type."

AmigaOS 4: OSDLauncher 0.3.6
OSDLauncher simulates the multimedia-On-Screen-Displays. Instead of controlling multimedia functions like "louder", "quiter" or "break" with global hotkeys, with these shortcuts OSDLauncher is started first.
The programm then shows the current state (volume, start/stop, eject etc.) and transfers the command via ARexx to the multimedia application (screenshot, video).
OSDLauncher requires AllKey, Mixer, Eject.Os4, MUI_Calc, das PNG-IconModule, AmigaAmp 3.8 and WBRun 53.4. The author explained the installation in the Readme-file and pointed out that this is still a beta version.
Changes in version 0.3.6:
- Added ARexx engine to OSDLauncher
- Added tooltypes: nosound; nobootsound; timeoutsingleaction; timeoutsoundaction; stacksize; fadetimesingleaction; fadetimesoundaction
- Fixed a small window that appeared on the image, thanks to Crisot for fixing this
- Added a new script to protect the API during work
- Added options lock and unlock to protect the API on sound volume
- Added options:
- amigaampnotpresent
- amigaampispresent
- calculatornotpresent
- calculatorispresent
- homenotpresent
- homeispresent
- mailnotpresent
- mailispresent
- filemanagernotpresent
- filemanagerispresent
- blankernotpresent
- blankerispresent
- Add functions for AMIGAAMP => aamp-backward; aamp-stop; aamp-forward
- Fixed problems with internal synchronisation
- Supported keys: "start-filemanager", "blanker-matrix"
- Added scripts filemanager.arexx and matrixblanker.arexx
- Added ARexx script for playing after AmigaAMP stops (internal code of OSDLauncher)
- Fixed playing after AmigaAMP stops with all other options for AmigaAMP
- Added internal screensaver engine with ARexx port for OSDLauncher [the first screensaver is Matrix (original code by Tixlegeek) and the second is flipclock (original code by Ciro Ippolito)] based on sdl.library with all my optimisations and a bonus for integration with OSDLauncher engine

Keyboard and joystick adapter: Keyrah V2
Press release: Keyrah lets you use keyboards and joysticks of classic computers on the USB port of a modern PC, Mac or Raspberry Pi. We have given our popular product a complete makeover and we'll be able to serve the increased demand starting may 20th, 2013.
The most important change in version 2 is that there is no difference between country-specific keyboard layouts any more. Also, Keyrah V2 does not make a difference between 8-bit computers and Amiga any more: The different versions and layouts can now be chosen with a jumper setting. The following keyboard models are supported out of the box:
- C64 (all models)
- VC-20
- C16
- Amiga 1200
- Amiga 600
The following keyboards can be used with some soldering and added parts (available separately):
In addition to the keyboard, you can use up to two digital joysticks that behave as if the user would press keys on a keyboard.
The first version of Keyrah was already equipped with a replica switch that resembled the C64 power switch. It was used to choose between one of two keyboard layouts: One for everyday use, and the other for use in an emulator. This switch is also available on Keyrah V2, and it has a third non-latching position: If you press and hold the switch in this position for more than one second, the ACPI-signal is sent to the computer, which will either shut down, or go into a power saving mode, depending on the settings in your operating system.
Keyrah V2 is shipped in retail packing with a short manual. An off-the-shelve USB cable is required separately. The recommended retail price of Keyrah V2 is 34,90 EUR (recommended retail price including 19% VAT. Price and VAT rate may differ in your country. Shipping cost may be added.).
Just like with the first version of Keyrah, we would like to emphasize that we cannot support gutting out functional classic computers. Keyrah V2 is only meant for giving new life to keyboards of irrepairably defective C64, Amiga or other computers.

Cloanto: Amiga Forever 2013 (2nd Update)
The complete emulation package Amiga Forever has been updated to version 2013 today - as usual there are three different versions. New features in Amiga Forever 2013:
- All Windows versions now come with a Windows Installer download (no need to burn or mount an ISO image to access the installer, or to wait for postal delivery)
- New Build Image feature (Tools menu of Plus Edition), to create personalized ISO images (burn to CD or DVD) and portable environments (e.g. to run from USB storage). This is similar to the "old" Amiga Forever media, except that the content can now be updated and customized
- Support for third-party "RP-Image" templates, to generate bootable content, etc. Documentation is available
- New Restore System Files feature (Tools menu) to reset shared components (Amiga ROM and OS files, system RP9s, etc.)
- New RP9 thumbnail provider for Windows is pure eye candy. This accompanies new and faster Open, Edit and Convert to RP9 commands accessible directly from File Explorer, to offer a better content experience outside the player
- New visual Screen Clip Editor, for easy adjustment of Amiga screen mode settings
- WinFellow is now available as an additional RetroPlatform-enabled emulation plugin. You can click any compatible title and select "Play with/WinFellow", or select plugin priority and additional options in the Amiga Forever Emulation settings
- Updated AROS and other content
- Enhanced RP9 Editor, with new media mount options and dozens of new features
- Integration with social networks for "Now Playing" updates, manual posts and screenshot uploads
Further information for upgraders can be found in the Knowledge Base.
Update: (17:44, 10.05.13, snx)
As Cloanto has announced meanwhile, customers who purchased the previous version on or after March 1st, 2013, are being e-mailed instructions to receive a free upgrade. An extra five dollar/euro upgrade discount coupon is being e-mailed to registered customers.
2nd Update: (19:26, 11.05.13, snx)
To clarify on the discount, it is on top of the reduced upgrade price. So, if the regular price for the Plus Edition is 29.95, and the regular upgrade 20.00, with the coupon (5.05 off) it's 14.95 for a limited time.
Below you will find the official press release that has been published meanwhile:
Cloanto Releases Amiga Forever and C64 Forever 2013
May 10, 2013 - Cloanto released today Amiga Forever 2013 and C64 Forever 2013, the latest versions of the award-winning Commodore-Amiga preservation, emulation and support suites for Windows.
The 2013 editions for Windows had a focus on making the software easier to use, while providing new and more powerful features for advanced users and content creators. For example, the packages are easier to download and install, and emulated systems can be "repaired" with one click after unintended changes. Power users can now build ISO images and portable USB drive environments, use the visual Screen Clip Editor to better blend old screen modes into modern systems, or experiment with the new WinFellow emulation plugin or with a fresh build of the AROS Research OS. Outside the player, the RP9 thumbnail handler adds a new level of eye candy to File Explorer.
"One of the most fascinating challenges of user interface design has to be how to please both novice and sophisticated users. The attempt to keep things as simple as possible often limits learning and can be perceived as a 'dumbing down' by a more demanding audience," noted Cloanto's Mike Battilana.
"Even looking at recent versions of Windows, Mac OS and Linux, you can feel the pain of some choices. In today's search engines, queries that used to work reliably have become less precise. Word processors won't let you select the exact characters you want. Lacking perfect artificial intelligence, we are increasingly being autocorrected beyond recognition.
C64 Forever brings us back to an era in which users knew that they were, or could be, in complete control of the machine, rather than vice versa. Tens of millions of home computers came with a powerful reminder of this, as they included a programming manual. Even today, the Amiga continues to inspire for how it elegantly met the needs of different audiences, leaving a feeling of freedom rather than one of artificial limitations. In addition to preserving access to a digital culture of tens of thousands of games, demoscene creations and other titles, we are trying to introduce new generations to these different angles, as we are convinced that this deeper perspective can help achieve a better view of the future too."
In Amiga Forever and C64 Forever 2013, the same interface transparently connects to three different emulation engines, giving consistent access to more than 25 computer models, all with fully licensed operating systems. The shared RP9 file format makes titles easily portable across computers and software versions. While novice users only need to press Play, advanced users can Edit titles and browse through options that are designed to also help understand how the software works.
Amiga Forever 2013 is available now in three editions:
- Value Edition (downloadable installer)
- Plus Edition (downloadable installer with option to build DVD ISO image)
- Premium Edition (downloadable Plus Edition plus boxed software and additional videos on 3 DVDs)
C64 Forever 2013 is available now in three editions:
- Free Express Edition (feature-limited version)
- Downloadable Plus Edition (downloadable installer with option to build CD ISO image)

Pencil and paper game: Cropky
Cropky is an Amiga version of Dots - an abstract strategy game played by two people on a sheet of squared paper.
The rules are a bit different from original Dots game - your aim is not to capture enemy dots but to link two dots together with a line drawn in any direction you want as long as you don't cross already existing lines or you have to draw another line (the dot is visible not farther than one square distance - vertically, horizontally or diagonally).
Cropky is a conversion of a game under the same title for Atari XL/XE. The original idea comes from Krzysztof 'Kaz' Ziembik who was persuaded to give permission to create Amiga version by Mariusz 'Ramos' Rozwadowski. With the abilities and knowledge of Adam Stach (programmer), Piotr 'Piesiu' Radecki (graphics) and Piotr 'Pece' Cieślik (music) they created a game running on any Amiga with at least 1 MB of RAM. The game can be downloaded as ADF file or LHA archive. The manual so far is Polish only. (snx)

Indivision AGA Mk2: Config Tool 1.1, Core 2.6
Individual Computers has released an update for the configuration tool of the scandoubler Indivision AGA Mk2. With this update it is now possible to save complete configurations and to switch back to the last saved configuration with the Undo-function.
Additionally a software update of the "core" of the scandoubler was released which fixes some bugs:
- Counters for upper and lower padding areas have been corrected:
The number of lines on the output side is now correct, even if black
borders need to be added at the top and bottom.
- if the output side has reached the end of pixel data in memory, it
has ended the line prematurely. This lead to an unexpected increase
of output frequencies. These new cores now insert black pixels until
the user-set number of output pixels is reached. In other words: Even
if you enter an insanely large output window that the Amiga does not
output, the frequency that the config tool displays will be met.
- the blue colour component was shifted to the right - fixed in this
core.
- the lower 4 bits of the green colour component was taken from the
neighbouring pixel, which is also fixed in V2.6.
- the critical path of pixel data going into and out of the memory
chip has been shortened: The flickering vertical red line does not
appear any more.
- some power settings of the FPGA were way too high. These have been
reduced to the required minimum, so the FPGA does not crash any more
when higher pixel clocks are being used.
- the two rightmost pixels of the screen were not displayed at all,
which is corrected in V2.6. If you still see a vertical red line at
the right border, then this is an indicator that you are trying to
view a part of the screen that is already way outside the overscan
area. Although the Amiga does not output this line the way that
Indivision dosplays it, we will NOT fix this. Instead, you should
set the output window size to a sane amount of pixels that comes
halfway close to what the Amiga is generating.
Another way of fixing that red line is to use the tool Borderblank:
This will also get rid of the red line.

AmigaOS 4 / MorphOS: Cinnamon Writer 0.90
Claus Desler's Cinnamon Writer is a text processing software whch can import RTF and DocX format files. It also has a spell checking and can restore lost documents. Thanks to a hardware donation of William 'Fraggle' Morris, version 0.90 as beta version is also available for MorphOS for the first time. An AROS-port will follow soon.
The graphical user-interface was rewritten and now is completely based on MUI. "Other improvements include a new memory and indexing system allowing you to work on very big documents on machines with only little memory."

In the tradition of the previous versions, we placed high values in the development of StormC5ED ensuring the popular Amiga look-and-feel. We set high prorities on high speed and modern editor functionalities. Due to the intensive use of operating system functions of AmigaOS 4.1, StormC5ED is available exclusively for the new Amiga operating system and will be further aligned it in the future. We would like to point out that much of the Proceeds of the StormC5 editor will be incorporated in the future development of the StormC5 environment.
Join now, in a new kind of editing on AmigaOS 4.x!
StormC5ED is available via download or CD. The download version costs only 29,95 Euro and the CD version 34,95 Euro. Order at once from our Online-Shop.
The following outstanding capabilities are offered by the new StormC5ED:
Amiga-Look-and-Feel:
All keyboard shortcuts correspond to the AmigaOS specifications, toolbar images are supported, tooltips, etc.
AppWindow/AppIcon support:
Dragging a file icon in an editor window or on the editor appicon will open that file.
Extreme fast syntax highlighing:
Lightning fast syntax highlighting, Recognized words can be highlighted with colour and/or font attributes.
File classes:
The driver for the syntax highlightning are applied as external modules. As a result, the editor is extensible for future tasks.
File classes do currently exist for the following languages:
- C/C++ (minimum requirement SDK 53.20),
- Catalog-Descriptions (for use with CatComp),
- AmigaGuide(R),
- ARexx
Definitionbar:
For recognized words the relevant definition/Quick-Help is displayed.
Bookmarks:
In a document an umlimited number of bookmarks can be set and jumped to with a keyboard shortcut.
Folding parts of a document via definable fold marks:
For example, so in C/C++ files, the method bodies are folded away for clarity and better readability of the code.
MDI- or TDI-Userinterface:
Texts can be displayed either in a separate window for each text (MDI - multiple document interface) or all together in a single window with Tab control (TDI - Tabbed Document Interface).
Automatic indentation (atm. only for C/C++):
On typing of a character that initiates or terminates a block, the editor can react with different variations to increase or reduce the indentation ("keep your source code clean and tidy").
Visualization of tabulators, spaces and linefeeds:
Optional displaying of these characters to find missing tabs in a "makefile", for example.
The GUI of the editor is available in 7 languages:
In the basic package, the StormC5Ed interface has already been translated into 7 languages: German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Danish and Russian are currently available. Other languages will follow.
